Re: Challenge: Show me your fastest built order/cards to go age 5 with the Dutch (e.g. as record or text)

That USA build only works if he's going for outlaws (cowboys in particular). If you do a fast imp in general you're too poor to actually make anything other than a shadow-tech unit.

I think executed well you can hit imp at 12.30 with that USA build

That's the idea with the USA Fast Imp. Mexico may be able to pull it off too. Haven't tried these builds with an actual viable BO, its all about age up times.

Dutch can Mercs in Imp but I haven't seen outlaws yet.

Re: Challenge: Show me your fastest built order/cards to go age 5 with the Dutch (e.g. as record or text)

I didnt record the dutch game sadly but you've peaked my curiosity for fastest imp age in DE. I recall single player on AOE3 used to have wacky rates depending on fps so on GP I don't think any civ can get sub 10 mins. USA might be the fastest otherwise I just did a 12.53 France with TP, could possi...

I got 13.47 with dutch but 1600 food in age 4 instead of sheep, and a bit of a shoddy BO I got curious and got a ~14 min Mexican Imp (revolting through yucatan, took a tp at the start but forgot to take a screenshot,) and a 12.53 British Imp (no tp). Both on Great Plains with only bottom tier treasu...

Re: _H20 greatest moments in tournaments?

I think H2O himself would probably list WCG 2008 as his greatest moment. All the way up until he stopped playing he would tell me that he still thought iamgrunt was the best player he ever had to play against and so beating him was quite an achievement. You can find recs here: https://eso-community...

Re: _H20 greatest moments in tournaments?

I just have a small story from back in the day, I think around 2010 - 2011 I think it was _PI that convinced H20 to come play some TR40 just to see how long it would take for him to hold his own against the top players of the day. I think it took him maybe 4 games, and that was purely to get the BO ...

Re: DE meta

I don't think anybody uses lobby for 1v1s, just ladder.

1v1s are far more balanced than team imo but you'll sometimes find Frontline and others between 1900 - 2300 elo hosting a lobby, but usually 3v3s.

Inquisitors in 2v2

Soo I've been encountering this strat more frequently in the last month than ever before and so far, myself and my 2v2 mate can't really find a way to hold it off. If you're unaware, the cheese strat is Germany and Russia in 2v2s with Russia's Age 2 Team Patriarchy card, making healers cost 50% and ...

Re: II tournament

I feel like the payoff from turtling like that is to be able to tech up safely. Without teching up, you're giving up all the res on the map. What do you do when you've used both goldmines? Go onto plantations with a mega slow gather rate.. You'll get outmassed. I think early pressure with map contro...

Re: II tournament

Sadly, It would be more unfair than normal DE. this is true. It's not going to go the way people think. age 2 is only rushy / aggressive / fun in normal gameplay because it can pay off vs. someone playing for age 3/4 and going greedy. But if the game is capped at age 2, there is literally never a r...
