I dont think Brams point is trolling. I actually think he intends to adress the hypocrisy - and I would even call it racism - of the developers of aoe3 in an ironic manner. Let me elaborate: The changes to the native civilizations were made under the banner of historical accuracy. The following cha...

I've offered to critically engage with anyone willing to read on the subject. But this thread was a dumpster fire before I came in, and I responded appropriately.

Look, should you be pissed off when a trillion dollar American corporation that built its campus on indigenous land tries to white knight with tokenistic expressions of support? Yes. Does that give white Dutch men like Bramboy the right to poke fun at indigenous struggles? No. Also, I really appreci...

I would appreciate it if you could keep the discussion civil. We may disagree, but personal insults are not warranted. Your trolling can be moved to another forum.

Right and you weren't trolling.

You all are, for lack of better word, fucking stupid.

Mitoe, you've been my favourite player since I got back into AOE 3, mostly because you come off as the nicest dude around.

Good luck with this game, and more importantly life. You deserve happiness.

I mean, Redbull is putting in this kind of marketing money on AOE2: https://twitter.com/redbullgaming/status/1409513824806334465?s=19 The best we got was [mention]u2379[/mention] scoring a fridge from them. AOE 2 is in another league in terms of viewership and consequently money. Pity, because I'll ...

Don't understand the hate towards breeze from a certain minority of the community. And it's not wrong to say that Breeze gets banned after replying to constant insults from people I'm not going to name. He's a nice fella, some people just aren't able to grasp that the game evolving and changing met...

[mention]u3782[/mention] Nothing wrong with that. It's a common reflex for people to revisit their past and retrofit their current, changed self to their past self, so that they don't feel so cringe about their past. But maybe it's better to keep it cringe, because that's what makes you want to gro...

Almost certainly due to differences in hardware or connection stability/ping It's definitely this. I've been playing on a pretty new Alienware laptop and a very good connection since release and beyond a bug that sometimes cancels my quick search and requires a game restart, its been a smooth exper...

I want there to be a LAN, and I want Breeze and Kaiser to both qualify for it.

A fair bit to go through here, but I'll provide a brief response. I'm still making less than what I used to be making in my full time job. I definitely could have kept my previous job instead of giving it up while still doing content, but I was so honestly over it I just couldn't be bothered anymor...

So the two Spanish players in this game repeatedly send infinite 300 res cards which instead adds around 700 instant resources to their bank. If I hover over to the 3 settlers card in their deck, I see that it instantaneously adds 200 food, 100 wood, 100 coin to their bank. Observed a similar thing...

Statistically India needs to have at least 3-7 times more cases and at least 1.5 times more deaths than US to say it is doing comparable or worse than US. In terms cases per/x population India is currently well below world average and same goes for deaths/x population. Agreed India is going through...

As a viewer, Id much rather see top players playing the tournament at their best than civ diversity. And given what Kaiser said in his interview last night, not all top players might even play anymore with these views.

I think most people are just digesting the USA civ right now.

TELL ME YOU WENT TO THE COMMUNITY COUNCIL?

Viper mentioned that AoE 3 folks were also invited to the community council. Anyone wanna fess up?

Should be Sunday.

Right, and the Lakota and Haudenosaunee were.

Is your system detecting your graphics card?

This isn't funny either.

No @Kaiserklein animus at all. Doesn't feel obsessive.

Good example of why tourney admins shouldnt be playing in the tourney tbh Agreed. I've always made it a personal rule to recuse myself from any admin decisions (in)directly involving myself and to forfeit when a conflict arises. Thus far I think I've only had to apply that rule once and forfeit whe...
