Making vils

Post by Asateo »

Since I play aoe my motto has always been: making vils ensures eco = victory.

Now I'm starting to doubt that idea. I(India) 've just played 2 matches in a row vs dutch players and they both stopped making vils at some point, usually after hitting age 3. Now they have banks, so still get coin. and because of no vils can have greater military force.
Is this just a dutch thing or are there more among you who stop making vils at some point?

Oke, that's true, but he was on 25 or something. I was on 46. So he didn't make it to the limit yet.

:P that's why I was so mad that he finished me off. More vils should win (somewhere in my head this axioma is stuck :blush: )

India naturally has a lot of villagers due to getting one from every shipment. You will probably find yourself losing a lot of games with more villagers. It is far from an automatic win.

There sometimes comes a point in where making vills doesn't pay off (you don't have enough time for the villager to gather ~100 resources), and at these times it's sometimes better to just stop making vills.

It's hard to determine when these moments occur, but maybe for the Dutch player it was true. Restricted access to gold mines or hunts will put him on a clock for the next couple of minutes, where if he doesn't win in that time he will lose, and in such a case spending more resources on units instead of vills will benefit him more.

Just as you should never cheat on your girl, you should never stop making vills.

What mitoe says is right but is applicable at only the highest levels of play
