Hope you continue to keep in touch with the community one way or another, even if it's just an annual meet-up of UK/Euro players at a pub

If you're ever down New Zealand way again on your travels let me know!

With Japan specifically it feels like an early bank boom is insane to build early tempo. Does anybody else do this? I've even removed 600w from my deck 2v and GFA age 1, market and cons start, gold treasures and chop 25w to buy shrine, ally with dutch. Chop for rax in transition Age with toshogu and...

Maybe I can convince stormcoming to end his honeymoon early for the great comeback of 2010 meta

I've played one tr game in 5 years which was this week and it ended because someone dc'd. I see things haven't changed much

Awesome, keep it up and keep us updated with your your big wins and big losses!

Each circle holds equal negative weight right? Excluding GUA's own

This is true. Often times you can get away with naked FF if you age up with the tower 200c, maybe you have to sink an age 3 shipment into an age 2 military shipment and pop with mm + explorer. Usually this is enough to get you through to 3 and more often if you're heading to 4 you want to ship that ...

Botter will soon be a noun for players playing otto hahah [mention]u21626[/mention] if you want strong cheese strats the simple ones are typically those that allow you to mass units without making production buildings. This is through cards and church techs, often with shadow tech stats. Some main o...

The thing about emotional people is you'll never get through to them with logic. I'd advise you to just block those people out and not engage with them, waste of time and energy

I assumed botting was playing otto

As others have said this will 100% improve your mechanics. You seem to already be doing your homework and watching recordings/looking up builds. Once you can apply the 'cheese strats' or the strongest meta strats consistently, you might have enough skill gain to do more typical builds at a much high...

Loved seeing a game on painted desert, feels like a breath of fresh air from TP FF/FI civs.

Grats

These are awesome man. Nostalgia hitting hard

Keep up your hard work

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.

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...

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...

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 ...

This is awesome

Is it possible to use this mod for the online browser but use DE for in game HUD?

Towered huh

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.

Potentially some spies if you can scout it. As brit you should have the eco to add them in with your LB.

Dude had one of the highest post counts on agecomm and was a life-long student - I believe he had multiple bachelors of varying degrees - some honours and I'm sure a PHD. He was in his 50s when I was 13 and we were both active on agecomm, we had some great conversations. A truly fascinating man. Did...

Massive showing by Julian, congrats man. Truly a beast. This reminds me that Kaiser, with the least amount of game time BY FAR every single tourny, consistently make the finals whenever he decides to last minute say "fuck it" and join is pretty remarkable. Still giving us good games so kee...

ESO/TAD I think you began with 1600 elo
In DE you begin with 1000 elo

Might be the only difference?
