Re: Hotkeys that u use?

One of the more impactful things you can do to increase your ability to multitask is selecting your stuff by either selecting a control group or using the find function and then using the snap to unit function (space bar by default??). This way you need to pan around the map less because you're jus...

Re: Hotkeys that u use?

select all units of the selected type, is such a great hotkey. you have two groups of xbows fighting in your opponents base, 5 more pop out of you barracks, and your 8 xbow shipment just arrived from your TC. boom, 1 click and you can chuck em all in the same group. Its great until you then acciden...

Re: In need for Team Tips

Well a combination of 3 age 1 shipments is questionable though, it delays what’s essentially a pike xbow rush for so long . Does raise the question about team cards though and although everyone was trolling the team with cheap barracks did go onto win!

Re: In need for Team Tips

Most of the team shipments are really good once you get to 3v3 or 4v4, since you're multiplying the effect without increasing the cost. Exceptions would be team cheap barracks or something like that which is just the worst thing you could possibly add to your deck. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/6092...

Re: In need for Team Tips

A lot of the time sending team cards can mess up your build though. I was wondering if a team were going to commit to sending team cards then the whole team should, as to negate to a certain extend the weaker individual build?

Hindsight and imagination... I think they did a fantastic job and the only reason it didnt work was the environment and diminishing popularity of aoe3.

Been active for about 2 months now and every time I dedicate some time to playing, I feel like I am being cheated. So many team games where just past 2 minutes in my team realizes something is up. You are either really really unlucky or just tilted/salty. This isnt meant as an offense, but you real...

Re: England maybe leave EU june 23.

In theory imported goods being more expensive is actually good, as you increase aggregate demand in the economy which should stimulate it. I think overall it's still going to be worse for europe seeing as the UK has a negative balance of trade with Europe, we'll just have to wait and see. The UK ha...
