with perfect micro. bow pike should win actually, if equal res on both sides. even in larger battles. in practice musk huss.

The problem is this mode was never used for competitive play in any Age of Empires game. AoE2 DM is quite popular, and has had over $20k in prizes over the past 6 years. aoe 2 dm is also quite different. Becuase aoe 2 is so much slower than aoe 3 in many ways aoe 2 dm is more similar to classic aoe...

yes. On the other hand this was an exceptional performance, which you really cannot expect on a regular basis. in hindsight 6 k would be worth it. But before an event paying 6 k for a player is questionable.

imagine 9 rods instead of a fort
he could have held that

Raphael, I think you might only be looking at somewhat early uses of the fort. Except for specific strats, the most general usage of a fort is to secure the last hunts and mines on the map near the end of the game. If you can do that, the fort is arguably the single most effective shipment at that ...

I agree buffing it isn't necessary though. But I think I explained ITT why forts aren't good atm in almost every case. I'm not sure what makes you think the opposite? most likely not, but maybe it should unlock the ability to build one. if you lose a wagon or it gets sieged down at least you have s...

theres 3 major obstacles why forts are not viable. 1) it takes an age 3 card slot, in a std you basically dont wanna have a fort as an age 3 shipment. 2) it takes aproxximately 2 minutes after its arrived to give any form of value, while most other shipments have an immediate impact 3) I go into a g...

1) more emphasis on cards
2) maps are smaller if you start building several forts it's impossible to path around

there would obviously have to be a build limit . if you made them weaker and smaller i think you could set it to 2.

forts should be buildable, but weaker and smaller. i never understood why they abandoned the castle principle in the first place, because thats what a fort is, the equivalent of an aoe 3 castle

Neither blackstar nor kaiser can ever aquire GOAT status. Even if they were better (which they most likely arent ) than peak grunt or h2o they stll would never get it in my eyes, simply becasue aoe 3 compe scene has shrinked down by so much compared to those days. also kaiser dominating is just as ...

Most people in the world can't afford a new pc every few years, however I think most of aoe 3 players are from first world countries. I'm doubtful it's about money. [mention]u93[/mention] A PC that runs aoe3 perfectly fine even in large battles costs less than 400 bucks. I can see some countries ha...

So Kaiser is GOAT material, when does his reign start? We're obviously currently in the Kaiserklein dynasty, I just wanna know when it started. I think with this EPL when he 5 - 0'd diarouga, not sure. He was a peer-reviewed #1 seed at NWC, wasn't he? And still got better. But I would not say GOAT ...

I was at lan last year and altho they had pretty great pcs, fully capable of handling aoe3, it still lagged occasionally. Not much but def noticeable, especially when you play in a lag free environment like a LAN , youll notice even tiny lag spikes. I remember how surprised i was about that becuase...

It's location rather than PC that cause lag. 100% this. If you would have been on LAN with every player you played on ESO with instead of online, you would drool at how well the game runs. It's 99% the distance and p2p tbh, especially nowadays where no one runs around with 2006 computers anymore. B...

I have a mid to budget end laptop from 2012. I'm pretty sure I don't get computer lag although it's hard to tell. What's more interesting is that my broadband varies from a download speed of 2.5-7 (I think it's MiB) and an upload speed of 3.5-6(MiB) I'm pretty sure it goes up when my family go to b...

What if, if you decrease the per-shipment experience points required for every civ ? k that would fuck up spain civ bonus but other than that basically it would make every civ balance and decent on no tp map cause then tp wouldnt have that much influence on your shipment progression since it would ...

They did not even announce a date yet, right? Guess the game is gonna change quite a lot with the new patch. Since you're more experienced that I am, what things would you like them to add or change? I would love an overhaul of the trade system. But this is very unlikely to happen. The current anno...

tbh hes right. TPs are important nowadays but they only reinforce his theory becasue they allow even more and safer advances to age 3. So his core theory still holds up, regardless of wheather he includes tps or not. Its a sign of a good theory or that it still holds up even if some important factor...

kaiser is def the best player RN by quite a big margin too. Ofc theres hazza but hes inconsistent and doesnt like 1v1. Apart from hazza theres no one who can realistically challenge kaiser atm. Mitoe might be able to, if he hits a perfect day, diarouga if hes on form .tho i think peak kaiser vs peak...

i wonder if tis even possible to fix pathing.DId they achieve that in sc BW remake? im not to familiar with that game nor the remake, but as it is so old i imagine bw had some pathingissues aswell

funny that my signature was the casue of this. THis sig is only there to show how stupid breeze is. i dont beleive you need an extra forum

yea but maybe you want to do well becasue of other factors not because youre intrinsicly motivated. In the its really about semantics probably, because perfect intrinsic motivation ( as it is defined in psychology ) does barely exist. For the longest time i thought playing video games was me being i...
