There are a few reasons why having two casters in game is preferred over having one caster with screen share. -Screen share kinda sucks. The quality is okay-ish if you want to see what is going on, but text is mostly unreadable (depends on the streamer, of course). -Screen share takes more resources...

Pathing/positioning/lag helped him quite a lot in that last fight with 50 crossbows in the trees, I imagine.

You can get 100 vil pop as port in just over 6mins, tested it out a couple of times. Was raking in the resources. What's your build ? Schooners -> Advanced dock -> 1400w Schooners produces 30w boats because of the way EP makes the wood deduction. Guess I meant to say eco pop as vil pop is maybe mis...

intelligence is a buzzword. Most people don't even know what exactly they mean by it when they mention it. IQ is surely not the only measurement of intelligence. I think the whole idea of iq is stupid in the first place. I mean its not possible to quantify someones intelligence, let alone by a simp...

30sec?

Probably playing Deccan.

Was a lot of fun to cast this with @Mitoe and a very entertaining chat with lots of new subs, thanks all.

Interesting how 5 out of 7 games end at the 11/12 minute mark.

ESOCTV is live so might be good to play now, if you can

To know the ans bring ppl from NASA ,make them play vs h2o or high level player ,obviously high pr players r gonna win(my option). I think the discussion is about whether being smart of having good mechanics is more important in reaching a high PR. Of course somebody who is better at the game is go...

Do we still want the solution to actually apply to AoE3? I am not convinced advanced dock is actually worth more than 1400 resources, because boats already train very quickly with the double schooners shipment. If you don't have advanced dock you can send fishing boat upgrades and you have a trainin...

This analogy is confusing. So there's 9000 resources and a boat is 50 resources? Does that take gathering rates into account?

You also need the production rate of the workers.

What upgrades do you have on your workers?

I think other civs can make way better use of the abundant crates, trade posts and natural resources. Asian civs can age faster without sacrificing eco (like Russia, who ages with like 11 vills). Native civs can make good use of the fast age up, Brits can have 2 or 3 manors and HD. I think Dutch act...

No.

But congrats on third place!

If you wanna see advanced hero (times 7 against treasure guardians), advanced market, instant/free priets and instant walls:

It was recorded in 1080p, quality should increase soon.

Yeah just like a normal market, the trade values become less efficient as you use them more. But because it starts out very low you can get an insane economy. I think banning it would be better because there it at least some economy in the game that way. Russia should have their two OP cards banned ...

Hold up? Advanced market gives free resources for free? Yeah what it does it lower the buy/sell values by 20%, and with the patch by 40%. That means you can buy 100 gold for like 80 food. But that 100 coin is worth like 120 food. So you can keep trading back and forth to create resources. This goes...

Advanced market is too strong, you can create resources out of thin air because the buy/sell values are lower than what you can in return.

Russia is broken with instant free priets and instant walls. You don't even have to walk to the foundation.

Spain -Colonial militia gives your town center a strong 180 attack, but no second batch of 16 minutemen. Not recommend I think. -Team Inquisition gives your units insane LOS. Fun, probably not too strong. -Team cheap barracks reduces the cost from 200 tot 50. So the second time the shipment is activ...

Forts have a build limit. The age 3 cards doesn't increase this build limit, the age 4 card does. Sending a fort in age 3 gives you two wagons but the build limit isn't changed and stays at 1. One of the most powerful shipments is advanced church, maybe there should be a rule of only allowing a civ ...

Well the studio is in the UK, which is probably why they want to host the tournament there as well. From what I have read, you won't need a visa from/to the EU if you just visit for a short time. But I guess anything can still change until may. Where did you guys stay for the night the last time. I...

Isn't the AI's APM very limited?

Not exactly waterproof.

Of course not. But then again, neither is this or any other system.

I made a list of the guys who defended the Zoi Patch in this thread Remove me from that list please. I am not in favor or against all the changes, I doubt anyone is. The one I have the most trouble with is Bastion from +400% to +300% and from colonial to fortress age. and Bastion doubles wall build...

And the guys who aren't happy with some changes No one is ever happy with all of the changes. I'm sure not even Zoi is happy with all of them. I know I never was. I think maybe some people here underestimate how hard it can be to juggle 20 different opinions and combine them into a coherent patch w...
