Re: Civ Matchup Data: did you lose because you suck or matchup sucks?
I'm not really sure how much info we can draw from this data. I think there are several problems: 1. A lot of the games you considered are played by low elo players with an elo of like 1100ish. I think in that elo range, matchups aren't all that important, it's more about doing basic things right. M...

Re: Is there a way to beat Mexico?
Do you maybe have a replay or could you describe what exactly it is that you're doing? I really don't see how india would struggle against mexico or how mexico would outboom them. If mex is going for standard age 2 play, which i think they are from what you described with the soldados, just dropping...

Infos about Malta?
I've been looking into Malta and find it very hard to find any kind of information about how to play them (mainly in 1v1). There's nothing on the strategy wall, no up to date yt videos and I didn't find any streamer who plays them either. So I'd really appreciate any bit of information anyone can gi...

Re: KOTOW Statistics
Does this include mirrors? Yes. Is this really a good idea? Mirrors will always drag a civs win rate towards 50% while saying absolutely nothing about how strong that civ actually is. Would be interesting to see how it'd look without mirrors, especially since I think there were quite a few italy an...

Re: USA strength?
I agree, USA seems solid midtier currently. I think one of the main strengths of the US is their versatility, there are plenty of general build types that you can go for (age 2 rush, extended age 2, ff timing push, ff boom...) and a lot of ways to play a variation of these builds (I.e. if you wanna ...

Re: How strong is Aztec currently?
So thanks for the answers, I appreciate the input! 2 WH first sounds like a bit of a hassle, like there're so many shipments I wanna send in early colonial (3WP, 5v, 700w, military) that I wouldn't know where to chuck that in. I read the maya-rush BO you posted and practiced it offline against the A...

How strong is Aztec currently?
So I've been trying to play Aztec recently, and cannot say I feel like I'm doing the first thing right. When I play colonial, I'm getting outboomed most of the time, when I try to ff with WP, the timing push of my opponents just hits to hard. They feel kinda underwhelming to me, with a worse age 2 t...

Re: The Ethiopia Early Monastery FF (the EEM)
Thanks for the write-up, looks like a solid build that leaves you some options in age3. I've got a question about sending big benny as your 3rd card, do you think it could be better to send 700g instead? It takes a couple more seconds to collect the crates but gives you more coin in total and also d...

Re: which version are most people playing?
There is only one version for the DE (definitive edition) so you can't go wrong with that. Additionally, there's 3 content dlcs which add new civs (and some more minor things like new historical battles), but you don't need those to play against them, so i'ts not like these dlcs are as much of a big...

How to play Mexicans?
I find it hard to find data to mexico, since all the strategy wall threads seem kinda outdated. So other than cheese builds like the recent baja california/monopoly revolution, which probably isn't that hard to counter if you know what's coming and might only work on specific maps, so I wanted to as...

tp as sweden?
Hello everyone So my train of thought was that now where dominions is an age 2 card again, you probably wanna add that to that recent sweden BO of 700w - engelsberg - blueberries, probably before 700w. That's 4 cards you wanna send as quickly as possible, and hence i was thinking if it might be wort...

Re: Has anyone tried the new Sweden?
And my 20 Guard Caroleans with Svea Lifeguard died to 50 Guard Cassadors, 4 Organ Guns and 2 Culverins and I didn't have the economy to either send 6 Mamelukes or have a shipment ready to do so. This should be patched probably. 20 Guard caroleans should obviously crush that. Also the 50 cassador 4 ...

Re: I am tired
Something similar happened to me with AOE2, I still prefer to play the original AOE2 Gold edition with Forgotten empires mod and userpatch 1.5 instead of the HD and DE versions which frankly are only full of eye candy. That does not justify in any way their balance/performance issues. I had the HD ...

Since we played earlier and my game hasn't been patched, the patch shouldn't affect you at the moment, otherwise I think we wouldn't have matched.CR_Joops wrote:Idk if I'm on a patch or a reverted patch or an inverted patch or a reversed patch but one of my Mams just got stuck in a TP socket so that's not cool

Re: Best civs for Florida
The insight this thread provides is enormous. Thanks Mitoe for sharing. I think we need more threads like this, I find it really hard to wrap my head about some matchups and maps and stuff, sadly I feel like the actual gameplay doesn't get as much limelight as it should with all the DE this, DE that...
Re: Sweden BO
Yeah Zanerre and don artie are good streamers to follow to learn some Swedish. 600w is not really meta but can be situationally good, e.g. if you are under pressure. Try instead to get your torp techs in right after the 700w. Stable openings are indeed a thing, but try not to overmass huss. Good vs...

Re: EGCTV replays
Really? Noone?
I take it the that they aren't available anywhere. @EGCTV maybe you could upload them somewhere? It'd mean a lot to me and I reckon a lot of other low to midtier players.

Sweden BO
Greetings, What is a current BO for Sweden? I'm basically asking for the card order, I most of the time go for 3vil, 700w, 600w to build a lot of torps, but i cannot do much more than that. Other than that, is it still viable to play both age II and III depending on the MU? Or should i always look t...

Hello everyone!
Can the replays of from EGC's tournaments be downloaded somewehere? They'd be really handy for learning new builds and stuff, especially since the replay section in this forum gets emptier by the day.
