Re: explorer hotkey

On certain keyboards there is the key "§" on the left side of "1" and I have "§" as the hero hotkey. It allows me to select and find the hero even when he is grouped to a different control group and the key works for both heroes as Japan and India, just need to press it...

Re: What would the meta look like if we had a smart AI with perfect mechanics?

The non-rush civ can just use 5 wood walls and delay the rush so long that he can hold. After all with perfect micro the walls are cheap enough and won't pose a problem to build perfectly.

Re: Russian Discussion Thread

Reload animation sucks but there are plenty of units with this problem. I guess war wagons have reload animation before the first shoot too. Grenadiers are useless cause of their animation. And im sure there are more these type of units. lol imagine grenadiers without their animation, they just wal...

Re: New Aoe Youtube Channel!

It's not impossible to win as dutch, maybe the MU is not in your favour but against a Chinese ff you can safely do an economical ff yourself and be ahead in economy.

I think you can download the game and play against AI or do the campaign to test it out out first. To play online you'd have to buy it.

Re: L2Sioux

So basically you're saying you need to straight ff or send atp (hint: bad) to stay competitive? When I die I want the patch team to carry my coffin and bury me so they can let me down one last time.

RECS OP MAN. I seriously didn't know that ATP instead of 3v works as Sioux and that straight ff can hold many scary timings. Maybe how to beat water play convincingly next small pack?

Re: Do some of the recent EP changes even make sense?

Wakina are not bad for their cost and 20 attack is actually very nice in general. The range also is partially compensated by the WC speed bonus (further upgradeable with a card). The only problem is that they don't easily accessible upgrades which however makes sense given that they are a cav civ. ...

Re: Do some of the recent EP changes even make sense?

With cetans. And then? You're stuck in colonial with literally no chance to win the game because your colonial is garbage. There's also the part where your opponent can scout too. I tried 3v 4v 700w 4axe 700g and had around 45 military pop at minute 8 and hit fortress at minute 10 with the fast age...

Re: Do some of the recent EP changes even make sense?

Sioux lacks many means to build a regular economy and their infantry in colonial is weak, spice trade is 20% upgrade to a high percentage of their early game resource income which buffs their eco, making 700w 600w and training infantry units more attractive. Besides tp boom they can't go water and c...

Re: If Resources to age were doubled?

FF would become impossible to pull off for non-Aizamk people, nations with a full set of units in colonial and many colonial upgrades or good map control will become top tier, on RE meaning: Iro, India, Japan, British, Russia, Aztecs.

Re: Culverin Shipment

Culverins are only good against warships and artillery, besides that they are pretty much useless. Falcs on the other hand can counter other artillery and still does well against infantry, buildings and warships. Most of the time it should be better to ship 2 falcs and let them trade off or even win...
