Re: FF Strat Advice

Do not chop for a barracks or house in transition to age 2. You wait till 700 w for infrastructure. Just make sure you get barracks down asap.
Just put tower in base if you are afraid of opponent age 2. Always FF, every game.

Re: Team Game Balance Discussion

It's relatively easy to kill the abus themselves if hard rushed. TC 2 shots them efficiently. But why they have 5% units more range resist than on legacy I don't understand. Or why they get increased range by age. I would argue it's hard to raid otto early as they rely on crates early. Then idle TC ...

Re: Are Abus shit nowadays?

Abus become bad in team if you let enemy skirm mass grow enough so that you trade 1:1.

Later when you can have abus + cannon, I think abus become good again.

Re: Balance discussion

homm3 and 4 are the only ones ive played, probaby for a reason yes xd. homm4 is great, especially since you cant chain armies through multiple heroes per day because also creatures have movement points. only issue is balance imo

Re: Update 14825

To my understanding the torps that are built when Blueberries hit are actually nerfed compared to last patch. Previously a torp bush was converted to a BB bush with 500 - (depleted amount of 125f). E.g. lets say theres 25f left in a bush when BB hits. So previously it became something like a 400f BB...

Re: Guide to replays! Please Read

Hi,
I can't find the rec path #USERNAME#/MyDocuments/MyGames/AgeofEmpires3/Savegame in windows 10. Where do I put the recs to be able to watch replays?
Does it matter that I use Steam to launch TAD?
Is there anything else to consider for EP recs?

Re: Dutch in 2vs2

You should plan your strat for the game so you can eventually reach fortress without dying. If you aren't fortunate enough to be able to straight or semi ff, dutch in 2v2 faces a problem: any two-unit composition you will form with your team mate will be sub-optimal. Since musk huss usually beats sk...
