Is that viable for treaty? Cause vills dont move on the field i guess. So you can gather with 10 vills from 1 field instead of 7 vills/mill. Yeah, I remember this being quite common back when I played nr 55 Orinoco games. I dont know how much of a difference this makes over the course of a game tho...

France is typically the recommended civ for new players because they're strong (without being OP) and very versatile. If you master them, your transition to other civs will be easier because you'll know already know all of the standard builds (since France does them all). Their strong villagers also...

Pretty sure there's a custom map script for that scenario. Use that if you can find it -- you can use your own home cities that way.

I played him once like a year back. It was an epic, one hour slugfest on Yucatan with me as Russia and him as Japs ofc. I scouted his water deck so I rushed him on water and land and destroyed him. The game was over - he was down in eco and was age 2 while I was age 3. He then proceeded to relocate ...

I feel bad for cheaters.... I have much more fun losing than I ever would winning unfairly, what must be going on in their heads to think they won or something. The dude in your game was clearly more concerned with taking revenge than "winning". I've seen guys spawn monster trucks to kill...

I don't agree with the professionalism argument because (1) ESOC is not an e-sports studio (and to my knowledge does not want too be) and (2) professional tourneys show the players faces so viewers can recognize them, not for hype. I don't see what purpose using people's faces for avatars would serv...

I agree with [mention]u860[/mention] 's breakdown. The drop/oos cheaters do it to protect their rank or ego, or to take revenge on their opponent when they're angry about losing a game. The oos cheaters I've encountered usually accuse me of cheating and use that the "justify" the oos. Then...

On a related note. I remember watching a documentary a bazillion years ago, and they talked about the "Streltsy." Why does aoe3 call them Strelet? Also why does bazillion not get flagged by the spell checker? "Streltsy" is plural, and refers to units of elite infantry in the Rus...

Yes

[mention]u55[/mention] The fact that he said we should tune into XO in November is a pretty good sign. It may not be confirmed, but it's definitely in the cards. I would be surprised if we didn't see some sort of update about AoE4, even if it's not actual gameplay footage. Honestly, I would be hyped...

If someone already posted this, I apologize

You can do that in a regular 1v1, though. And if you really want to increase your odds of winning that badly, you can always noobbash. Joining an FFA for the purpose of suicide-killing another player is like going to a concert with a boombox and playing your own music. You had fun, but why were you...

Yeah, I did. And my point stands. Someone isn't a douche just because they don't play the way you think they should.

Is there really a need to keep on calling me scrub or douche just because you disagree with my understanding of an FFA? I'm not calling you anything. But there's 2 possibilities: 1. You think all in rushing is actually a good strategy in FFA. This would make you a scrub 2. You like to ruin the game...

FFA is a lot of fun. If you're playing to win, the best course of action is to relocate to the edge of the map and build up there. Depending on the kind of player you are, you can build large or small - I personally prefer a compact base because it's easier to defend, especially if you get attacked ...

It would also be nice to create a territory conquest capeonato, based on the map drawn in AOEIII where each civilization would choose an empty terrain and conquering the surrounding maps, and battling when the chosen map already had ownership. Seria legal também criar um capeonato de conquista de t...

That's unexpected. I didn't realize the LANs didn't pay off the way they were expecting. I hope everyone involved will bounce back from this and I wish them the best in the foreseeable future. Hopefully we'll see you guys stick around for some time! Realistically, tournaments for an 18 and 14 year ...

Manually task your units onto your opponent's until you have a large enough skirm mass to focus the monk down.

I never understood how people could enjoy playing China. There's only one viable build in most matchups and you don't even micro your units most of the time. It's just age, ship units, mass cav, z-move. Where's the enjoyment in that?

In my experience the best way to play against China is to go for a naked FF and open with skirm/goon, then swap out goons for cuirs if he isn't massing civ. I usually find that I age up before China and therefore have a window to mass and pressure him before he assembles his death ball. However, if ...

For lower level players, throwing up a few segments of wall during the transition to age 2 can make a big difference. High level players will adapt, but MS 10/10 bots aren't going to know how to deal with it.

But a double rush should lose hard to most rush civs, shouldn't it? What does double rax rush do vs aggressive agra or blockhouse if the opponent can just make/send strels and make ghurka? Most players aren't going to open with ranged infantry, and by the time they've started mixing them in, you've...

Got a good link? I was thinking of downloading it myself.

One option would be to install Windows on your Mac using BootCamp. It essentially partitions your hard drive between the Windows and Mac OS, and allows you to switch between them by restarting your computer. The downside is that your brother would have to buy Windows, but the basic home version is f...
