Re: Hotkey Help

You need to go your TC first to make a villager, but you do that with a hotkey also so it's not really a big deal. e.g the default is t->v (can change them to whatever though, I press 4 then e to make a vil, then if i have 3 tcs on group 4 you can make 3 vils in two actions by doing 4->e) Shift I do...

Re: ESOC AOE3 Taunt Package

7 Do the taunts work if one player owns the package while other doesn't? The other won't hear anything :p Then what's the use of taunts Most of the regulars and ESOC frequenters have it, 700+ downloads and extras sent out on skype and other places so it's spread around quite nicely.

Indeed. 90% of pr35+ start off that way and are pr35 on their very first game. Only a few 10% can make it up through the ranks. :P

Re: Can someone explain why sepoy so op

Now don't get me wrong ... the sepoy is insanely strong ... but that's not a test of anything. You'd get more useful information by throwing a cabbage and seeing how many umbrellas in your vision you can count before it lands. (For the record if you count three or more umbrellas the sepoy is indeed ...

Re: Few bigger tournies or many smaller tournies?

For $$$ just big tournies.

But would be nice to get some automated small events like oldschool SC2 TL opens where you just sign up and play on the day. (No $$$)

Actually 12th place takes home $1000 and then the person in 43rd place gets $500. It's a very innovative prize distribution.

Re: Ryu's Sepoy Rush (well it's not mine but w/e)

Yea the hand attack card is a solid choice. The boost to urumis and sepoys though makes it worth it. It is probably one of the least important age 2 cards along with 700f though. I still prefer them over the alternatives (tiger claws / rice paddy upgrade.)

Re: Ryu's Sepoy Rush (well it's not mine but w/e)

I use 700f in my land decks. Unless you're a tiger claw player what else are people using? Id rather fill the slot than leave it blank. I think I end up sending it quite a bit too.

Well those were just two examples. Sure by themselves they may seem negligible. Other examples that have bigger effects are the difference of the starting wood gathering is bigger (gangsaw on +3vils, so 3.3 vils) when they are gathering for manors.
