I understand why people have this attitude, real life appointments take priority over AoE appointments. But if you have nothing scheduled for saturday night yet and tell us you can play, can''t you just say "no I have to play a showmatch" to whomever is going to ask you to do something that night? ...

Ye it's like the mills has some gathering spots and vills start collecting resources while they work there, just like berries.

I can play I guess, the only problem is that on saturdays I might have something to do and it is not possible to cancel the match.

Yes but that's why I'm happy dragging the game to fortress.

I don't think Spain beats Germany? lol you guys are so black&white, you gotta take people opinions with some salt

people sending vills before crates, jesus....

Nope

I dont use the slow age up anymore, there is one that is better. But slow age up still works pretty well vs jan abus. Aging is not an option if you commit to jan abus.

FP with normal crates?
Btw I never had problems vs jan abus. I mean I even made a specific strat to vs that in the Aztec guide xD

what would you do on mongolia

The point of making banks is to make mines last longer and to get extra exp. So any bank vs villager/market dispute is pretty pointless.

I played GS recently 2-3 times in a row. but before you say anything let me just tell you that u have 30 coyos and 20 maces when he has like 20 jans and 15 abus so it's not like it's a matter of micro. Numbers can vary a bit depending on specific builds (like he can skip stagecoach and send 3 huss) ...

What do you mean with force to fortress? If anything, as Russia I'm the one who wants to play it in fortress cuz in age2 you don't have much chances when both civs get a complete 3 unit combo.

7v5 is not even close without micro. Dunno what side benefits more by micro.

On nilla ulhans have -10%rr, -10hp(?), and malus vs vills. Also skirms have no malus vs cav, TC has bonus against cav and unit pathing is terrible. German shipment rate is also slightly worse and TP is of course more expensive. Ulhans are indeed shit on nilla. But what about TAD? Are ulhans fine tun...

Iro and otto don't count. Fre don't exactly beat them and India only consistently does on RE maps.
I'm talking of tourney mostly.

If india makes any sepoy you're happy playing colonial for a big while. Strelets just get huge value from sepoy and sowar are not good in cav vs cav so cossack also perform better as anticav. Also, India doesn't really semi better than Russia. Their build is less smooth, their eco isn't much better ...

You know Germans are a bit too strong now when the only way to not get outplayed is by mirroring them.

Well, The only aztec player says aztec wins it 100%. Im sure jan/abus can beat the mace/coyotte. It should be fair. Comon dude. Its garja. Lol I never said its 100%. But ye aztecs beat jan abus no problem. Dunno about FF. I know what to do etc. but Im not sure its enough to beat that. But probably ...

Russia fotress is not mediocre at all. Just they don't have a smooth semi like Germans or French.
India is probably better but yo can try aging if they don't start aggressive. Once you unlock CA, cannons and more unit ups (as well as 3 tc) you have more chances.

you have 2 TC y not make a few vills from one?
3/4 vills on food should be enouf to sustain a constant vill production?

You need 5 vills on hunts for each TC.

Mams alone are useless. They lose to pikes if no unit fires behind them.

Design2 is the best. How did you solve the space problem for units and techs?

700w first card is quite an optimistic way to play dutch on tad

You gonna get plenty of idle unless 100w or 100g+buy. If you delay 1st shipment+1 vill is basically not efficient anymore.
