I'm so sad, I haven't had a proper PC in years. I was looking forward to afford a really nice computer once I started my job, but now that I'm here, I can barely afford anything. It's really disappointing lol

Re: How to beat walls as India

Thanks guys for your advice. I always fear to be behind when facing heavy eco civs (e.g. France and Brit) but I guess that India isn't so bad at eco itself :smile: India with free vills per shipment, otto consulate, wood trickle and potentially TPs/stagecoach arguably has a better eco than France, ...

Scout and adapt.

Re: So what's the Aztec meta now?

Aztecs eco is weaker because part of their eco is through xp (wc aura and wp(s) dancing). However it just doesnt quite cut it especially as their aggressive option has been nerfed heavily Yeah, I would assume that even with their boosted xp, their overall res gathered (e.g. if you say an age2 shipm...

Worst map ever?

Out of all current/DE, TAD, EP maps, which one do you think is the absolute worst ? I'm only referring to maps that were officially used, either in QS back in the day or later on EP/in tournaments, not like Plymouth or Amazonia. Can also distinguish between TP and non-TP. I think Hispaniola (sea dom...

Funniest caster pronunciations?

I love the way some casters, particularly Drongo, pronounce some civs and units.

Re: RIP pull-tricking

Is this a meme, or what am I missing? Isn't pull-trick just something to add to aoe3 micro? Why is it toxic? It is a meme, but I genuinely find it a weird game mechanic (clearly not intended for this purpose) that afaik doesn't exist in other RTS games. It also creates some balancing problems betwe...

RIP pull-tricking

Pull-tricking is toxic (@Aussie_Drongo ). So I'm glad that it will be gone from the Age series soon. AoE4 surely won't have it, as AoE2 doesn't have it.

So: RIP toxic pull-tricking, you won't be missed.

That is all.

Hmmmmmmmmm... Honestly Inca is one I’d really love to redesign but it’s European only. Sweden is the obvious choice but I’ll leave it. Ottomans might also get picked a bit due to auto vills.

Re: So what's the Aztec meta now?

What I find really weird regarding Aztec is that their eco seems so abysmally weak in basically every MU? When you compare resources gathered vs. other civs, their eco is always like hundreds or thousands of res behind the opponent. Is that just no steeltraps plus no (real) eco bonus? It's crazy. It...

Re: Jan/Abus Age2 or FF

It seems to me that the go-to strategy is some sort of stagecoach build, usually into a (semi) FF. But this only works on some maps and in some MUs.

I feel that Otto are fairly weak or average with a normal/low TP amount. But maybe I'm wrong.
