Re: Age-up times and economy

Haven't read everything but yeah basically the way a given action impacts your economy can usually be described by a simple function, which depends on the kind of action. Say you're going for a 13 cdbs age up as France. You'll have one less cdb for 90s while aging, that's a fixed loss of resources o...

Re: ESOC Premier League S4 - Official Trades

Don't know what's been going on behind the scenes but "mutual understandings" to not pick #1 player on the ladder sounds silly to me, whether people like him or not. Well he's #1 on ladder with full Italy for like the past 200 games so what does that mean in a tourney where Italy is banne...

Re: Pink Floyd is a Terrible Band

Gilmour destroyed PF tbh. He turned it into a coffee shop lounge muzak band. The songs just don’t have any bite in them, it’s mostly drawn-out ambient rock with atmospheric synths, whispered vocals and wailing solos. It's not like Waters has done much on his end either once they parted. They were j...

Re: Healin' Uniths

Works with malta when sieging a building barely in TC fire range, you can micro units back after they got shot once and heal them between your raxes. Works better with cover mode micro for pikes too. But it's much harder and situational than with cav and doesn't net you as many res

Re: Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition – Update 14.3853

Basically the only weakness of aennas (their shitty animation) was removed. You used to be able to kite them but now with 5 speed and lock fire, idk. And can't kite towards them either anymore as they just get more DPS. Seems like a very risky buff considering how good the actual stats are for a 100...

Re: 3 villagers/capitalism

If you're gonna naked FF I guess it's okay to send that card as you won't chop much wood and can use the coin for an age up and then unit production. In any other scenario, I think you'll chop wood for TPs or military buildings/houses and you definitely want 3v.

Re: Why do not more people play treaty?

It feels like if you're playing a given MU in treaty, it's just gonna be kinda the same game everytime, at least if both players play it right. Most of the time there's one optimal unit composition on each side, one guy being aggressive and draining resources while the other tries to survive and pus...

Re: Silversmith as germany.

I don't think it has enough tempo to send it before 700coin. You usually send it instead of 700g. Shipping 700g after silversmith is suboptimal as your coin gather rate is so fast, and shipping silversmith after 700g is usually nonsense as you're going age 3. So you usually don't end up shipping bo...

Just saw this and was surprised. I literally can’t understand what is going on… the game is very far from where it once was! To be honest, I'm pretty nervous about what's going to come. The amount of content is so big already. I don't think the game gets better. At least this applies for competitiv...

Re: Rate of fire and new ottoman units question

I did quick maths, and 2 azaps (160 res in age 2) should barely beat a WW (300 res in age 3), unless they miss shots I guess. Sounds very balanced. Try the same with 2 xbows and you'll see the WW wins with almost 300 hp left haha. Inb4 "yes because it's an anti goon unit", sure but it also...

Re: Rate of fire and new ottoman units question

Lmao good call buffing abus. Now the unit overperforms even more, and against basically everything. Now you one shoot a goon with 6 abus, so clearly they really needed to add a new anti goon unit that deals 64 damage to goons every 3 seconds

Re: new USA meta: 9 highlander at 5:30

Also is the eco really "bad"? Sure 13v is ugly but there's also 2 TPs and 3 saloons (though I have no idea what the trickle is for these?), and I guess on some maps the 2 nat posts (no idea why you need these for this strat either) for the native treaties follow up

Iroquois, Aztecs, Russian, Otto. Obviously you scout the buildings and understand what he's doing. 1) You listed 4 civs out of 22 2) These rushes barely come in before 5:30 in your base (I'd say around 5:10 on average), too late to prevent the strat 3) Even if it worked, going all in (e.g fast agin...

Re: new USA meta: 9 highlander at 5:30

I would say easily countered with a nice rush. A nice rush before 5:30? 5:30 in your base is more like 6:30 in their base with bad eco, doubt its OP You don't need 1 min to cross basically any map. More like 30s most likely. And then unless you have skirms in colo or a billion units as iro or somet...
