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.

@_Melkor can you please just do it so we can be done with this ridiculous thread.

It's incredible the lengths to which one person will go to avoid admitting that they're wrong. At this point the only person you're trying to convince is yourself.

Congratulations Memb, Chrazini and the players! This tournament is quickly becoming the highlight of the AoE calendar.

I'm holding out for 8v8 if/when the Definitive Edition graces us with its presence.

TheMax is great, but Suomi's strategy usually revolves around putting him in the strongest possible position which means he too often gets individual credit for what was really a well executed team strategy (and overshadows the performances of the other Suomi players, e.g. Zuppi who I thought...

You are.

Lol, drama already ... there's a reason I asked on Reddit and not here

A similar (but simpler) idea: resource collection rate represented as a quantity collected over the past minute (for instance) of game time. This wouldn't be as immediately responsive to sudden eco changes, but it would account for long distance mining/chopping and (more importantly) trade...

Idle rate (total idle time as a percentage of overall villager/fishing ship lifetime).

I held off on watching the series until after I'd finished my assignments, to reward myself. My god. What a set. Amazing stuff from both players and I hope we see more of Hera in the future!

I'd argue that the issue can be traced back to the men at arms buff. Either way you're confusing the original cause of the issue with the issue itself. The issue isn't gates, it's towers, so unless you're advocating removing palisade gates as well (which I wouldn't support) then it makes more...
