Re: What is more important: IQ or mechanics?
I watched the entire deepmind presentation of alphago and that was still a form of brute force. No it does not calculate all possibilities, but it still has an insane amount of information and plays an insane amount of games versus itself. In that sense its still brute force; its basically solving ...

Re: What is more important: IQ or mechanics?
Sorry but I don't see how "AlphaZero is agressive in chess, therefore its best to be agressive in AOE3" is an arguent lol. It's not about being recklessly aggressive, it is more that tempo and space advantage is important in chess and Alphazero uses it. Tempo and space advantage is also i...

Re: What is more important: IQ or mechanics?
Alphazero doesn't exactly use bruteforce. From what I understand, bruteforce was only used in the process that lead Alphazero to make its own set of rules. After that the machines applies its own axioms. And the very proof of this is how Alphazero takes concepts that are well known in the chess lite...

Re: What is more important: IQ or mechanics?
That's not what I mean with being the offender. That's just donk wasting units under TC. A proper attack is more like contain/exploit map control in some way.

Re: What is more important: IQ or mechanics?
Again, I think you tend to overstimate defenders advatange compared to offenders advantage in AOE3. The way this game is made (at least originally, EP somewhat changed it) is so that being the aggressor gives more advantages than being the defender. This is why, rush civs have always been among top ...

Re: What is more important: IQ or mechanics?
Im just waiting for that moment in 10-20 years when an advanced enough AI will be publicly available and you can set it to master AOE3. Then we will really see what is the best. Gonna be really interesting to see how much of the meta would be completely overturned and people will be like wooow that...

Re: ESOC Patch suggestions, comments and discussion
I could agree with all thoe points but at the same time could agree also that it is fine as it is now (well maybe except schooners/dock rickshaw/standard fishing boats which is admittedly a bit off atm). Tweaking nunmbers generally isn't that controversial. The problem with the patch is more when it...

Re: What is more important: IQ or mechanics?
Mirrors tend to have an emphasis on mechanics so it's not the greatest example. There is still room for strategy even in nilla MUs. But ye I agree mechanics do play a large role, and that's good. Yea obviously I can't know that, hence the "I think" lol. But I think its a fair assumption th...

Re: What is more important: IQ or mechanics?
Professionalism comes after money. And self-substainability does it too. The only reason aoe3 aoe3 players arent at that level is because of the lack of money.

Re: What is more important: IQ or mechanics?
any pro player in a major esport game could be the top aoe3 player in a matter of months, thats just a fact. I have no doubt that a good gamer can probably end up being proficient in another game. Gaming skills are often trasversal and transfer from game to game. This is just an example of what I w...

Re: What is more important: IQ or mechanics?
If anything, IQ is more a requirement for some faculties (not law school) than the other way around. I mean, unless you're in math-physics stuff, hardly your faculty improves your IQ. Surely it improves your knowledge and your intelligence but not necessarily your IQ score.

Re: What is more important: IQ or mechanics?
Watch pro cs players play pugs and youll see real small brain plays, although its just pugs so they often go for cool plays rather than smart plays, that being said any of them could be the best aoe3 player in probably 4 months, probably way less. probably no High IQ people are superior in literall...

Re: What is more important: IQ or mechanics?
You know, IQ translates into better dexterity and thus better mechanics. What? High IQ doesn't mean you're a superior human being bro. what does that even mean? Are you serious or is it some attempt of troll post? Generally IQ refers mostly to logical-mathematical and spacial intelligence or at lea...

Re: What is more important: IQ or mechanics?
You know, IQ translates into better dexterity and thus better mechanics. So the question doesnt make much sense. I suppose by IQ you mean strategic decisions. Well a strategic decision can have a bigger impact than one micro move but overall if your mechanics are bad you cant even apply some strateg...

ah that's the french one. Ye that's not great because it's the same unit type and the rare times you might age up with many xbows it's prob better to just vet them.

Re: Spanish Discussion Thread
Transformation card are mostly played for the tactical element (switching unit to the direct counter) rather than for value. In fact only viable transformation cards do exactly that. China transformation might be borderline because it includes the cost of the upgrades (and so does Sioux one actually...
