Civ by civ guide from the masterz?

I've played all the Civs pretty much at different times. I would say you are better off having a guide of that depth at the matchup level. It's much more relevant to have a guide on specific match ups. Also I think there's still things people do that are not the best. China for example. I would say ...

Gaming makes you smarter

That's true for many people. There is also the case of been there done that. There are times where I have been just too bored to do something because I've already practiced it so many times. That's not laziness and probably doesn't count since you have already done it or proved it though...

Great tips for big noobs to get from zero to hero

I hit the alt key a lot early game. In general you should realize that the advice you get will only get you to the rating of the person giving it. I haven't met many people yet who know everything there is to know but simply can't execute it. When I was first trying to improve I focused on good play...

Making farms is not booming. It's just wasting 800 wood. I understand your thought behind it but it's always possible o find a positive in anything.

Does Trample have any use?

I havnt tested it. I'll test it on stream with someone when I get back. Pretty sure the answer is never. I've never in 10 years of playing this game had it used on me to any effect. Usually that sort of thing rises to the top quickly if it's any good.

The farm wagon card is so kind blowingly bad it's unsendable. It's like advanced hot air balloon or advanced docks. You can't send that card.

When to make Yumi or Ashi

Yumi do very well vs cav. You have 4 like minutes and 4 other minutes plus vils. That slows down everything long enough to make yumi useful

When to make Yumi or Ashi

I like yumi a lot outside the mirror. The reason I like ashi I the mirror is because of killing shrines and running around the map. Also the games tend to tech up fast and ashi are stronger later. Yumi are just insane vs every other civ where the longer the game goes the better off you generally are

When civ a beats civ b it's not even matchup at the top level. Since we have so many civs there's tons of these match ups. It's less strategic for me to play Brits vs German than it is to play either mirror. Even if there is not a clear answer on who wins. One of those civs is favored and it's just ...

Honestly you are not going to see anything amazing from a game he played. It would probably be the same to see a somppu recording.

That said I don't know where any are he wasn't ever really a top top player.

Sub-Forums in other languages.

I appreciate the interest in bringing other languages into the site. I think for now we will act as the hub for aoe3 and the way we can bring the most people together is by using English. We don't have enough demand for any one other language it would make the site more difficult to navigate.

Watching old recs

Current patch supports all old official patches for recorded games.

If you are getting that error it is probably a fan patch recording. To watch those look into installing it. I think all the info is still on rts sanctuary. I never realy used the patches so I don't know all the details
