Well the argument is that universal health care should be a right and not a privilege. Ergo in countries that have a health system reflecting this then it is a right and not a privilege. i'm not aware of a single country that has a right to health care established. to me this is just another feel g...

Wow. I spent 90 minutes writing that. I am genuinely surprised and glad that you are at least trying to understand the mindset behind the U.S. healthcare policy. Most people here who live in generous welfare states can't seem to grasp that the benefits they enjoy in their respective countries are p...

I like the shipment mechanic (make sure no aoe2 players reading this.) Also the pacing is just perfect - in terms of u got a little warmp up to get going (age 1) but games can still end super early in age 2 or can play out quite long for 1 hour. APM's required also hits the right spot so you don't h...

Wahey India thread :P First question - what's the plan for future tournament map pools? If there are maps like Alaska and Gran Chaco rotating back in then these changes need to be looked at very differently. I agree slow sepoy rush (and follow up age 2 play) would be good to bring back. I guess 6 se...

Sparkle_loop wasn't me, never heard of that account either. Looking through the elo page it looks like it was a Japanese player judging from the people they played against. Also i thought Hazzy and Hazardroxs was the same person? Yea you're right, looking back at RTS sanc I can see Hazardroxs playi...

I believe _GG_Magic, Braidon, HAzArdrOxS, nightscr3am/silverfalcon, Starsky were all legit marshals at some point but I don't have the stats.

What are you testing for?

[mention]u5025[/mention] Yes bud! [mention]u54[/mention] Yea it's true the match vs ryan wasn't at all that special, was just India vs Brit playing out on a sea dominant map. But it's still useful to hear people's thought process, even for a standard game, maybe even more useful for a standard game ...

Can I do another question?? I have used 10/10 sepoy rush since I started to play this game and sometimes It really breaks with the enemy strategy (even against someone who is pro player like Edehollan, I have the recorded game). Can you tell me where is the mistake with that strategy?? Thanks! Just...

I'd reiterate what some players have said that the build time is the biggest factor as to why it's not used more. I used it twice in EPL1 and both times it was hit within about 15-25 seconds of being placed because unsurpisngly top players are able to find and identify that kind of play and then to ...

Seems the admins are getting more crap than the actual troublemakers themselves. :P I believe if the qualifying result for the finals was greatly affected we would have seen some different admin action taken towards the end. As it wasn't let's just enjoy the finals? Bo7 Mitoe vs Kaiser with the way ...

NWC has the best drafted team still. CMC won thanks to kaiser (and model doesn't predict the champions), and MDS won thanks to Perez (not predicted by the model). Except we beat you and would have made the playoffs if not for unexpected real life circumstances. Yea your team did well, very impressi...

It was to predict the drafted players values in order to use for the auction, in other words doesn't count Kaiser & Mitoe. As Jerom says if I didn't manually knock ~1K off Perez they have a very comparable score to NWC at the top which mirrors the results of drafted players. CMC without Kaiser a...

Erik and Raphael were asked and declined. Prince had the option to play but declined also.

Beastly performance, puts NN right in contention to claim a prize spot!

Did the bois at WCG get there travel and sub paid for? I assume so - maybe depends on the national body that was handling their players? Just saying when you consider the NWC costs (flying players and casters and rent and setup etc) its going to count for a lot lot more than the £4K prize pool shows...

Yea the maps is a good point, tho each aoe3 map plays slightly differently I guess we only notice it at top level. e.g Look at lumaco and what just a single 1 extra wood crate with a cliff mid map does.

I still want my islands map!

The comment about in aoe2 - "aoe2 features elements of all 3, different match ups and different maps call for different approaches" Now I am an aoe2 noob but surely this statement is more valid for aoe3? Thinking things like port on water might schooner boom on on high tp go atp, japan mig...

That aoe3 is more tech focussed than eco/army macro based.

Yea there were a number of comments he said that were outdated and missing any context from the last 12 years that made it not as enjoyable to watch as it could have been.

Lol as if Viper could seriously compete with some of the INTELLECTUAL POWERHOUSES on this forum ... get real people!

India is good for working on your villager distributions. It has the most dynamic macro in both age 1 and early age 2 where you are greatly rewarded for handling the flexibility efficiently. Differs quite a lot from most other civs that rely on core shipments like 700w to shape their early macro and...

Let's be honest, he has done a fucking terrible draft and only thing that somehow saved him was that Prince traded me for real-life reasons. Even after he got a very favourable tr...
