AoE3 Times: Issue #002

[P i k i l i c]

I just had a mirror game where I used CdBs in an emergency to hold off a big push and ended up using them to shoot away my opponents hunts and build a barracks on his last coin mine. It ended with ~40 CdBs and like 6 musks fighting at once and was hilarious and... I didnt record it :(

I just had a completely crazy French game like no other in the last 6 months and forgot to record it
I sent pionners, got my stable destroyed, survived, fighted with cdbs, aged, won early age III, lost my TC at the other side of the map, the game ended with mercs, revolution and ironclads...
I even lost connection to ESO during the game so I only have an ego screenshot to remember it... I feel your pain bro

Japan: If you don't play correctly, this one can be very tough. The best option is probably a TP boom, followed by a skirm/cuir/falc timing. A prolonged colonial play combined with a TP boom is only viable but very risky. Try to kill as many shrines as you can

Hey @[Armag] diarouga what do you think about go Xbow - Pike rush against them ?

Hey @[Armag] diarouga what do you think about go Xbow - Pike rush against them ?

he is not on ESOC anymore but from what I remember he said xbow pik is what to do on maps without TPs.

Nup he says xbow/pik not viable in many MUs at top level but you have to learn the build incase someone pull it on you
He's not on ESOC but on Insight Studios Discord I'm sure he'll answer your questions

You are 100% right. I was refering to France vs Japan only, btw.

@sdsanft , that China flag is a bit inappropriate, I guess

Is it that bad? I didn't pick it out, I guess you can ask @site to change it

[pecelot]

You know, kinda inadequate chronologically, to say the least...

[Mameluke]

I dont get this "5 food discount on Settlers" (i guess same joke like with 5% Uhlan HP)

Question to the diarouga france guide:

If theres no TP, what should you do then against Brits and Ports?

What happened to AoE3 Times? Would be nice to see new ones.

What happened to AoE3 Times? Would be nice to see new ones.

They were produced by the group that went by "insight studios" which has fizzled out.

I would imagine if others were interested in renewing the effort, ESOC would be happy to post it as news.

We're definitely still around, just not as a very active entity. We're stopped posting issues because of a disagreement with ESOC bishnessh team, although I'm sure many of us would love to keep making em.
Currently we congregate on a Discord server which is basically an edgy, off-topic version of the ESOC one. Lots more room for memes and other discussion on this server with your favourite AOE3 friends
Come join ush: https://discord.gg/e7ACrHW

dramahub went way downhill. unfortunately it is a shell of its former self.

[deleted_user]

It really did.

If you mean it's no longer Callen and Ear talking all day about their drinking habits and social anxiety *insert oooooh im drunk meme here*, then yes, it did go super downhill

Yeah I'd say that's a good definition of going downhill.

Alternative way to word the same sentence: a discord's two most active members leave -- a discord's activity declines. Shocking!

[Gendarme]

It's pretty dead, @milku3459. No more music nights, no more discussions (whence the name dramahub originated), only Site posting selfies and Mad_Hound complimenting him. The departure of Jakey and Vane spelled the end of dramahub. Although it was already on a rapid decline.

Very disappointing, all the care I put into that AoE3 times banner.

Hope it can be re-utilized for something that lasts longer than 2 episodes.
