Seems like you're placing the TP 2 - 4 seconds later than I am usually. I think I usually placed it around 20 - 23 seconds (not sure though). Seems like your explorer takes weirder paths to get to the waypoint in the middle than mine does for some reason. I'll record something later I guess.

No, resources spawn just fine. Mid post is because map is smaller (exploreres get there faster) and iirc the route at the start and the end is slightly more kinky to avoid the coast cliff (so it reaches the mid post slightly later in comparison). We are talking about 1 second got or missed for the ...

I also just tried it now. Seems very consistent. Got it 8/8 times on right, 4/5 on left, and I missed because it spawned as far to the right as possible. On the left it's definitely a small risk, on the right it's certainty. I have also never missed it in actual games, regardless of which side I've ...

[spoiler=Result]3-2 for Mitoe

Apparently we didn't rec the 2nd game (Baja), so here's an ego rec of the worst game ever played between me and Kaiserklein.[/spoiler]

That's the wrong letter Umeu!

I think you're confusing SC2 with literally every single RTS game ever made

I would play it if people would let me play it with them and practice, but none of my current civs are good on it :(

I veto the New New England

Don't forget to make your veto! D:

@Hazza54321 It's cause you had better elo both on ESOC and JP elo. You're better than you seem to think at the moment

How's 19GMT?

In all seriousness though I'm not going to go into detail about how any of these builds work but here's the basics for Colonial build orders: 8 bow, 9 pike, 7 steppe, 300x (6 - 12 redocats or 4 - 8 cossacks) or 700c (age up) or 700w (more units/market/consulate) Basically just try to break enemy for...

Except when you do have cannons as China of course

I remapped control group 9 to ~ ~ = cannons, raiders, daimyos, miscellaneous/scout, random split units, early game skirmishes I use this group to split my other groups a lot 1 = Heavy Infantry/Ranged Cavalry, secondary group for ranged infantry, the only units that almost never really end up in this...

Elmeti are good, I think. Swiss Pikes not so good, highlanders should swap places with them.

Stradiots are kinda meh imo

ok It worked but I can't find games why ? in first there was 2 games and now they are gone Which expansion are you on? The Vanilla version of the game (no expansions?) The Warchiefs (no one plays this anymore)? Or The Asian Dynasties? If you're on the Asian Dynasties you may need to enable Warchief...

I found his commentary to be quite good as well. I don't know how good he is at AoE2, but to my knowledge he's not a top player. But he's been around for a very long time in the AoE2 community I think, and is a very experienced caster there--clearly a lot of that transfers over to other RTS. He's al...

And thus Soldier takes the place of Tedere as a top 8 player

@Hazza54321 Next Saturday/Sunday?

GGs. They were close games to be honest--was scared at points. You're a lot better than I expected you to be

I feel the simplest solution (in certain matchups at least) is to construct your buildings a bit further out of your base than you normally would for more line of sight. Spotting the raid earlier will allow you to setup the trap more easily.

Since this game isn't that mechanically challenging, most of the difference is made in decision making I think. Maybe less so in a mirror meta, but with the current civ rules I don't think mechanics win tournaments. Lack thereof will certainly lose tournaments though Mechanics/APM open up more opti...
