What does "taco" mean in relation to AoE 3?

Post by fightinfrenchman »

I usually won't post AoE related thing in off topic but I understand if this isn't appropriate for general.

Anyways I once played a NR 55 game on Orinoco with someone and I was German, so of course I had tons of resources and my score was great. The enemy was fighting me in my base after he destroyed all my defenses but I held on because I could basically spam whatever I wanted I had so much food and coin.

He ended up losing because be ran out of resources (I think he was French and spamming gendarmes) and he accused me of cheating, saying I had a program in the background to generate resources which is 100% false. He then said I was "tacoing" and when I asked what that meant he told me I knew.

I have no idea what this phrase means? Is this commonly used? Maybe it's something that is used in other games or in another language or something.

Maby if you could find that game in elo you could hunt down that player and ask him what he meant.

I think there must have been a nr55 ori player named Taco sth that used to generate resources so the word comes from him (See sirmusketing in supermacy).

Taco is a euphamism for burrito, which means you should be burritoed.
