Re: AoE3's "Stale Meta"

I agree that the meta is pretty static, but some people do mix it up. I think it's the ones who easily get tired of playing the same strats over and over (I know this because I'm one of them..). So you would try all these crazy things that sometimes work (mostly because of enemy confusion) and somet...

Re: Modular Build Order

I agree that there's a lack of the beginner guides with "have 10 villagers on wood until you age up, then move to food"-type of instructions. While I agree that "having a feeling for it" is the best way to macro, the question is more about those who don't have the time or energy...

Re: Let's Talk About the the ESOC Patch

I want to find games faster and with quick search, for more random games, that would be nice. And to see all EP users online. A bit more gameplay like the original game too, cant remember all the changes if switching patch anymore

Re: Organizational Update

While I like the admin split to reflect better what people do - I don't like the removal of the "moderator" tag. People should be 100% sure who is a moderator and who in the end decides what's allowed or not. And realize that this guy's warning in a thread or PM really does matter. "E...

Re: Back Herding

The backherd is triggered by the position of one or more (or all animals) of the herd. If it goes outside it's original circonference it bakcherds. The backherd does not necessarily go exactly toward the center of the radius. Also it is hard to know where the center or how long the lenght of the ra...

Re: Back Herding

The only key to consider is that shooting the farthest back animal is best for two reasons. 1. It provides the best movement of the herd 2. The backherding is triggered by the villagers location. Not the location of the herd or the animal shot. So by shooting the furthest away animal at max range y...

Re: DONALD TRUMP DICTATOR OF THE WORLD

If you treat people like garbage the crime rate will obviously increase. It's integration that has failed - not the people themselves. You make it sound easy to study but it's not. You need to learn the language first, and since all immigration facilities are so overloaded a lot of people can't eve...

I would argue that even if you could prove that, they shouldn't be discriminated. No one deserves discrimination, no group, no faith, nothing. I'm not sure about this anymore. I mean, this is how I've been educated based on Locke's "Letter on tolerance" and the aftermath of the Reformatio...

Great post. If you want to keep contributors, you need to mind your tone and temper in the forums and chats. I prefer strict moderation any day.

This is not who you want to win!

Who do you think will win?

Personally I think Trump will be able to pull it off Brexit-style.

Re: Best Magician

One could also argue if being a magician should involve only good sleight of hand or also entertaining the audience. So many extremely talented, but boring, magicians. I think the masters aim to impress magicians, so it doesnt really appeal to many others
