Stone wall + springald as china.

The part I love is when they have 10 springalds at gate. I have 15 but I can't go shoot because hitboxes are so terrible thay there is 90% chance they shoot the gate.

Springalds + buildings in general is a terrible design in this game...

its probably people that heard that abbasid has an exploit but didn't do research into it nor know that it has already been fixed.

Ok tnx. I thought maybe im exploiting something without knowing it. Noone wants to explain it either. The aoe 2 players seem so nice. Everytime u win ur either a cheater or a smurf. U can litterly Micro 1 cav back and be a smurf.
And theese are apperently "pro" aoe2 players....

This kind of micro is new to AOE2 players, im not joking! AOE3 players are used to kite with skirm/goon endlessly vs cav or siege and now game doesnt even have snare mechanics - so its even easier.
AOE2 players have WAY better macro gameplay in my opinion. They can be at 10 places in 10 seconds and still do the relevant clicks, something that was never as important in AOE3 because the economy was so easy and there were almost no techs to research and no res dropoff points and no professional scouts minigame and you needed only 1 rax and 1 stable and not 35 etc etc.

So yeah, this AOE3-like micro looks spooky to AOE2 players.

Its just normal Micro tho. Not special for aoe3.
I understand its not how u Micro in big fights. But i cant imagine its not a thing even in aoe2 in small fights.
If its something like cav/Archer vs Archer/spearmen. And both have 5 units each. How are u not gonna try to manage that fight... Maybe i just had bad luck with my opponents idk.

You are right it is normal micro, but its still different from micro in AOE2.

In AOE2 you fight 10 archers vs 10 archers and because projectiles can miss, people will actually play their heart out to win that engagement. Having 2 unit types out early is "new" to most AOE2 players and a "sign" for a good player to them.

Im telling you, I watched Hera like 2 weeks ago, he was streaming and was doing the basic AOE3 type micro with cav and archers (kiting) - "god that was so intense" was his commentary. There IS a difference between micro in AOE2 and AOE3 and I can totally understand that is is spooky to some players. Still stupid to cry cheater or smurf all the time...

Ok u might be right i know very little about aoe2.
Maybe its similar to how im very confused about The counter system.
Ive notice some stuff super Hard counter otjers. Like some units can take 500 hits without dying. While otjers unit just kill their counters.
