BF players being ahead of the curve again.That sounds juicy, I would like to see a high level player perform this.

Are you saying that the opponents strategy relies on having time to take both boars, to execute a perfectly manicured build order and it's just not fair because they aren't allowed to have 15 mins of no stress play only because their opponent consciously made efforts to prevent it? Meanwhile the other guy in all likelihood doesn't even bother with his boars and instead sends vils forward after clicking loom at 6 vils. It of course has decision making involved and I'm sure some great micro to boot. The RNG you speak of can equally be stated for any portion of the game, such as resource generation.
In all likelihood this completely beatable, insanely risky and all-in strategy will if at all -- only partially succeed and feudal play choices will be required to extend the advantage, towers, or achieve such a messy situation the berber player can think about playing safe into Castle Age and utilizing their cheaper cavalry options. Consequently the opponent also has choices regarding going for military, towers, etc. and the game is open.
If you only consider m@a archers, drush fc, or scouts as the only valid ways to play the game, you are taking a game of chess and playing checkers.
The argument that people can one trick strat is completely dubious, as, no one questions how high one can rise playing Frank/Magyar/Khmer Scouts into Knights, Mayan Men at Arms into Archers
You refuse to really explain how the strategy was in fact not unfun to play against and therefore all those people who might otherwise be sympathetic to your complaints about inflexible meta dumbing down are not inclined to agree with you.
As for the rest, I never said standard play is the only valid way to play, I don't agree with favoring civ pick design of ranked and I'm not the biggest fan of the current meta. Stop putting words in my mouth
I dont bring boar to home, that is not the point. I kill boars at enemy base, walling around vilager so that boar couldnt hit. Then i go vilfighting and laming resources, this way i will have a lot of weak vils which i sent to wood near to enemy TC. This way I have wood quickly, with which i proceed to douche.Not sure I have the apm to do this right, can never make it to the douche phase. Maybe it's because I get too excited as my two vils are coming back with their boars and I just try to wall up and then still lose because of the idle time. That and maps like acropolis have wood everywhere. I know you just want to kill rather than lame the boars but I like bacon.
keep up the good work!Update: 2-5 with the strat., tho -- 2-1 since going after LC's post lame.Felt bad for one guy who got it 2x in a row, but I think the third we matched in a row I played standard n he took his boars immediately and it threw off his m@a briton build. Definitely a solid mind-game, perhaps on a map in a series you weren't expecting to win anyway.
it was actually me playing vs memb 11 he reported me at the end for laming
Don't pretend you don't perfectly remember this.Aren't you the guy claiming I would be like 1300 post inca's or something?
I would take issue with this. In fact, I'd say getting off to fake elo, obtained by using very lame (but I admit in a sense quite hilarious, I certainly enjoyed seeing it vs memb) strats, is even worse!Not everyone gets off to their elo before bed every night and enjoy trying something else out other than m@a archers.
This doesn't even make sense.Yikes. All of those 900 ELO players using alternative strategies really taking rays from your 800 ELO sunshine, eh?
Try not to stress too much about it.
This doesn't even make sense.
Sure it does. I'm assuming Mleder is probably 800 ELO. He is seemingly vexed and convinced that the only thing holding him back from becoming a pro at AOE2/ holding back their favorite players(s) are the promulgation "one trick," strategies. His definition of a "one trick," strategy is one that is not m@a archers, scouts, or drush FC.The fact that a player like you reached 1700 with inca rush proves that the strat is broken. You only tell us over and over again that inca rush requires great macro blah blah... have you ever defended vs inca rush yourself?
That assumption didn't make any sense but I see it was more meant to add an extra flourish to the insult than anything so it doesn't matter. I'll let him defend himself for the rest of it but will say that I have never really shied away from giving my ELO when asked because ELO is irrelevant for determining if what someone says is right or not.Sure it does.

If not for these alternative strategies -- ones he does not deign to understand or bother trying himself, he believes he would be at 900 ELO. They (and they are not the only one,) are so upset about it that, they believe it acceptable to insult any such player deviating from any playstyle he finds acceptable by saying they are actually not 900 ELO, they are 700 ELO players because they play in a way that he does not condone.
We have to assume his ELO, since people like him and yourself don't dare post their real nicks/something that could possibly identify themselves on the foruml (for fear of ELO shaming like Mleder takes part in). You can change 800 to any ELO, add a hundred points, comparison holds. The funniest part is that folks like him will easily make fun of a 1900 player and say that they are actually an 1800 player, not realizing how little statistically that difference is in terms of percentile.
In the end, only poor Mleder cares enough about his ELO to travel from topic to topic, talking about random internet strangers aoe2 strata. One can only assume the fixation to mean that they're compensating for their own.
the exact numbers don't matter that much. it really depends on when he started playing inca vil rush only. inca vil rush leaves permanent damage when used too much, so I'm not sure if he will be able to play at the 15xx rate he (probably) was before he took the wrong path in his AoE life.
So it's kind of expected that most players won't have much respect for you, they will consider you to be a clown like all 1 strat players, and of course they will belittle you - rightly so! You are not really in position to ask them to respect you as a player (but the "cancer" insult is just silly and poor form) - AoE is game which has a certain dignity, and I think most players value "style";
I can tell you that my ELO is exactly 1700, and I usually play random civ ara or mixed maps. So I'm above you in the pecking order, which is why I can peck down on you here.Sure it does.

If not for these alternative strategies -- ones he does not deign to understand or bother trying to learn how to defeat himself, he believes he would be at 900 ELO. He believe it acceptable to insult any such player deviating from any playstyle he finds acceptable.

huh? I think I'm quite happy with this post, I think it is a strat people should know, and generally speaking it would be great to see more posts of this kind. I am just worried for you! At some point you will need to understand what honest aoe gameplay looks like, and the sensation one gets by winning fair and square. It is overall much nicer than winning by laming. So I am not enraged at all.I just feel bad for the guy.
Never truly getting an understanding of all potential possibilities in the game, being so focused on random internet strangers ELO that it consumes him. To be so enraged that when someone brings up a new and potentially interesting spin on how the game is played their butt puckers so hard they turn inside out.
