A lot of people underestimate Tim. He's been playing super well lately, close to if not inside the top 10.

The real question: will the game drop the bizarre quirk of an in-game "minute" being shorter than a real minute even on "normal" speed? Of course, if they change it we'll have to re-learn all the benchmarks (e.g. at what minute does a fast feudal arrive, etc.), but at least it will make sense!

I like this idea in principle. It might be overly complicated to implement for teams who rotate three players (e.g. Viper TaToH Jordan).

Final pieces have been revealed!

Whoosh

HD was a $20 game, plus whatever the expansions cost. No microtransactions, loot boxes, etc. In the current climate, that hardly counts as a cash grab. For my $40 or however much, I've sunk thousands of hours into the game. That's a better ROI than any other game I've ever purchased. The servers...

Polish and Scythians would be among the leading contenders for potential cavalry civs not already in the game. As for the last two, I've long been hoping for the Polynesians, who would really help complete the game's "global" feel. Muisca, Zimbabwe, and Tibet would also be welcome additions...

Many of the top Chinese players also seemed to believe this right up to the first King of the Desert tournament. That's why most of them went out in the first round 11

willworkforicecream is right. If the rule is that only moderators are allowed to access user data, and you're not a moderator, then it doesn't matter that someone who is a moderator gave you access. They gave you the information but not the right to that information. You're no more allowed to...

His trophies range from the ironic... ... to the even more ironic...

I assume you're not referring to the actual method of proof by contradiction, but rather to the OP's method of "proving" his claims by contradicting anything anyone else says.

I challenged Viper once, in order to test my groundbreaking theory of forward mills and lumber camps in dark age to take all your opponent's resources so they don't have any resources so then you win. He didn't turn up to the lobby within five minutes so I unilaterally declared victory. I am...

Why even build farms if you can just invest that wood into skirmishers and forward outposts and kill your opponent now?

Great post overall but this in particular bears repeating. A few times I've heard top players get asked what their single most important insight into the game is (or words to that effect). More often than not, the answer they give is that everything is situational and there are no formulas...

This. It's hilarious that OP is trying to spin this as "everyone else is too scared to face me." I mean, a thread on aoezone might just be the worst place in the whole community to find someone who wants to play a BF game on HD.
