lol damn, that thing went off like a whip. nice play, what rank are you currently at?

yeah it was crazy, my whole room flashed totally white too.. im at low 1200s currently, but i often fall down into the 1100's.

its at like 9 minutes

I was playing a 1v1, and a lightning bolt hit right outside my house.. you can hear it in the video.. i put the timestamp in the description

?? why flashabcks to 2006?? this is more or less the same rush that has been done with iro back to the release of TWC. It was better on disc release when the age 1 travois could be a forward war hut ah i see, yeah i assumed i wasn't the first person to do this... i played all day yesterday with it ...

??

why flashabcks to 2006??

Hello, this is a simple strategy but I just wanted to share with this forum, because I have lurked here and gotten a few strategies from here so it is time to give back. It's not some crazy genius strat, it's quite simple -- i am sure people have done something along these lines before. The goal of ...

yeah i agree. in the new game you get 3v automatically at 1:30 game time by default. and there aren't any age1 cards. and there's a treaty for the first 5 minutes so that neither player gets annoyed by stupid age1 fighting.

I would rather have 3 vils than 400 food. The only thing I'd rather have than 3 vils is a raiding party. Idk why age1 fighting is considered "silly". Someone said it would be annoying, but thats only if you are on the receiving end of it. And you really should be attacked for mindlessly ch...

i mean nobody wants to deal with raids in any age.. the question is whether or not having the option available would make people not always use the 3v card. but yeah idk it was just a idea. Would you ever send a age1 unit shipment over 3 vils? If the units had a decent chance of killing enemy vils? ...

the game with 130+ cards for each of the now... 19(?) civs with a huge range of units, build orders, ageups and techs does not need even more strategies added for the sake of more strategy. especially not with the existing, well balanced civs that desperately cling to their former EP glory. there i...

hmm no I don't think I want that

i think having a alternative to 3v card sounds exciting

idk its just an idea.. i have no say in how aoe3 is balanced, all im saying is that it would be interesting if there was an alternative to 3 vils that was aggressive as opposed to eco-related. again, kind of like a "drush" in aoe2. i feel like some players would forego the 3 vils if this s...

I can make strategies from age2 onwards.

yes this is the current situation.. i say instead of this, you make strategies in age1 :DDD

... do you not want to attack enemy early and have fights??

Ye but I don't see the problem with that. Don't you want more strategies in the game? The more strategies, the more unpredictable and new each game will be. And new stimuli produce more dopamine in your brain, so you will be more happy. It's like how a male rat gets tired of mating with the same fe...

solution to what, exactly? every deck in the game sending the same first card As far as i understood so far, you think the game (AOE3) is too good and you want to solve that problem (aka make it worse). And the solution shall be to make more age I shipments equally strong to make them viable for sh...

solution to what, exactly?

every deck in the game sending the same first card

There should be more fighting in age 1. The explorer duels/treasure fights are cool, and allow quicker players to get an advantage -- there should be more. There should be at least one military unit that you can get that poses a serious threat in age 1. Kind of like a "drush" in AoE2 (send...

Hello I am new.. I just found this forum and tried this strategy.. Here is a video of it.. I am pretty low rank but just want to prove that it works.
