=) Thanks for the reminder! I recently stopped playing video games for a while to focus on other things in life. Between AoE2 and Red Dead Redemption 2 I was playing waaayyy too much and it was starting to negatively affect my life and so I decided to take a break. I'll be back at some point but...

The only toxic person in the thread is the OP who's a known racist as shown by the reddit links that were provided. It's all there for you to read. Calling the people who call out racists "toxic" is pretty laughable.

Don't bring in unrelated topics- there's no benefit to it, your only purpose in doing so is to start an argument from people on all sides of the issue. So, please stop.

These are great, lol. I'll subscribe. Only thing I'd ask is it'd be nice to see what a few of the players are in the clips, I obviously knew the ones that were Viper but there a few who I didn't know who was in the clips so having their name on the screen or having the score visible would be nice.

Yeah, one suggestion I read was to change the 15% speed bonus into their Castle Age UT, and instead of Tusk Swords, make a civ bonus that gives them +1 attack in Castle Age and +1 in Imperial Age. So they wouldn't ultimately get +3 like with Tusk Swords but it's free, and then the speed bonus...

I agree with all your suggestions but think this one is a bit too strong. I think they should keep husbandry but reduce the bonus to 10% faster. Losing husbandry is a pretty notable nerf, only Teutons, Vikings, Cumans, and Meso civs don't get it, and Cumans get a speed bonus to cavalry which...

The things I have an issue with regarding elephants are not their trample damage, attack, or other things they've nerfed. They are (1) the Khmer's insane eco bonus makes producing elephants in large quantities much easier to do and (2) the Elite upgrade comes in waaaayyyy before paladin. The EBE...

Okay @Syphax I'm willing to debate this with you. First, although I don't have hard numbers or stats to back this up, I think you significantly underestimate the average age of AoE2 viewers. I wouldn't be surprised if the average age of viewers of AoE2 on twitch was over 18 and possibly in the...

@Paint @SuperskinnyBLS @MaSmOrRa I would agree with you more if it weren't for the fact that AoE2 games can go on for 1-2 hours in real life time. That just flat out doesn't happen in many other games, so comparing AoE2 to other games I just don't think is reasonable. I also think it's...

Replying to the OP, I don't really have a problem with Nili or Viper promoting poker sites for compensation, it doesn't personally offend my sensibilities too much. If you asked me whether I'd prefer that they do it or not, I'd prefer that they don't, since I solely watch their streams to...

@IvIuSiC all good. I'd be happy to play against you, although you are mostly likely a lot better than me at DM. I usually play between 0000-0300 GMT (7-10pm US Central time). Let me know if there'd be a convenient time for you and feel free to add me on steam if you want, my name's the same on...

For who? Top level pro players? Sure, it may not be. But to consistently do it without making a mistake is hard, it only takes one time to screw up for you to potentially lose a game. And, it's that it requires APM and attention while you're doing other things. No one singular action in AoE2 is...

LMAO dude, you are a riot. I look forward to your comedy central special. NO ONE SAID HUNS BEAT SARACENS. NO ONE! You said Spanish have an advantage over Saracens at holding the middle of Gold rush. Sure they have BBT but Paladins get eaten by camels and mamelukes, conqs are not a good...

OK. Here's my final comment arguing this topic then I'm done with it. I'll lay out as many possible reasons why I think nerfing quickwalling is unnecessary and bad for the game. There's varying definitions of quickwalls. For the purpose of this argument, I will assume that you're referring to...

I looked because your profile is linked in this thread, it's not much work. Feel free to look me up on aoe2.net, my name is crawsack on there as well. However, I don't post on AoEZone and talk about how the competition level on DE is super low and that I'm just annihilating everyone I play...
