Re: why is cm too lame
I thought I'd just bring my perspective as a, on balance, very bad multiplayer player to this. Re: monitors I definitely would keep them. I remember back on RE that I'd just been sitting there ignoring the water like I'd done in every game before that and voila, killed by monitors. (Saguenay, I thin...

Re: AOE3:DE Proposal To Microsoft
I'm sorry but I'm really tired and will forget these ideas by the time I get to read the rest of the proposal. Firstly, I like the homecity. I think what needs to happen is that all multi-player homecities have the opption.just are boosted to, say, 60 or max or have all cards/politicians unlocked. T...

Re: Beating Sioux (RE)
The last game I remember playing versus Sioux was weird. As far as I remember they broke my initial set up (TC included) but I think they might have sieged VC manors because I ended up being able to set up a different kind of turtle... so they died via outposts/lbows when they tried to push in and e...

Re: Rank Age of Empires Games from best to worst
Really I just like AoE3 I don't really like the rest of the series. Not even AoM? I'm not sure why, probably the politicians versus gods thing, but I've always really thought of AoM as being fairly similar to AoEIII. I think I would go: AoEIII (I wish the AI didn't use mercs though, they're not goo...

Re: British VC, Gren and Early TP play
If you can't prevent your opponent from aging up, grenades become useless then. So VC boom+grenade is a bad combination. Grenades are useful in age 2. But skirm/falconet kill them easily. They really don't. I feel like people missed the bit where I mentioned turtling. I'm not trying to use grens al...

British VC, Gren and Early TP play
I've been getting back into the game (I'm a sergeant of about 40% wr) and the last few games I've been playing (all 1v1) I seem to have been finding a reasonable amount of success (for me) by using an early TP British strategy. The basic idea is to build one manor (or two with extra wood maps), a TP...

Re: People online hating on AoE3 ?
I think three main reasons. 1) Gunpowder. If you look at, for example, a lot of total war commentary, the gunpowder era games are... not as well received. At least, the fan sites I look at. 2) As some people have said, it's just different. If you look at the first two games, they're actually fairly ...

Re: ESOC Maps Information Thread
Hi, I was wondering which maps work for 4v4 games. I recently acquired the patch and would like to muck about with it against the computer, but when I tried to play ESOC Malaysia there seemed to be no where to build and one of my computer allies was dead from the beginning.
Re: Ceylon
A couple of grens just get fisted by MM, try to control the main island by migrating onto it as soon as possible. They shouldn't with improved grenades. We're talking about 100 siege in colonial. And they can always attack the MM too. However, in this case, it was more like a dozen grenadiers with ...

Re: British Build Order
Don't bother with ideal build orders. Stay at sergeant. Be competitive with the AI and no-one else. Lose more often than you win. Thus, your build order: 3vills, Virginia Company, 700w At some point you will want to send extensive fortifications and improved grenades. You have no other crates. The m...
Ceylon
Hi, some of you might remember me from the "official" forum but if not, no worries because I am not very good. Anyway, I was just playing a Ceylon game as Brits (vs French) and I was wondering how people would sort of go about this. It's not too much use talking about the specific game bec...
