DE won`t start
So you're saying Windows itself has an application-breaking bug. Or does AoE2 break Windows? Either way, that's just wonderful

Some Thoughts About 9 Villager Maps
I don't think we should necessarily be hyper-focused on making the maps have the same play or same balance as a normal start where we just skipped the first 2.5 minutes. That's already out the window because of the flexibility that 9 vills allows you on your build. You can go anywhere from 3 all...- LmScar12

Paid Skins/customization in AoE
Not sure this is true, Paradox Interactive continues to sell games and expansions/DLCs at high prices, while also adding in dozens of small cosmetic packs (such as skins) on those same games in the $2-10 range. The final prices for complete bundles of EUIV, Stellaris, CK2, etc would make y'all...- LmScar12

Is this normal apm spike or something bugged?
Yeah the difference between today's "EAPM" and hypothetical "true" EAPM is like the xckd about determining whether a photo was in a national park versus whether there was a bird in the photo. It would probably be a multi-year and multi-million-dollar machine learning project that would require...- LmScar12

What is the plural of obuch?
Yeah, ain't none of 'em going to understand that obuchów is pronounced obuxuv (IPA) or approximately oboohoov in English "phonetics"- LmScar12

Is this normal apm spike or something bugged?
Yeah, it heavily depends on if you do repeated clicks. If spam click twice, thrice, or more every time you tell a unit to do something, you could have double or more (e)APM than a player who does the same things with one click. And yes, this is counted towards eAPM because the game state...- LmScar12

Gate Kill in AOE2
Just found an ancient web site that mentions this gate crushing thing as a feature. It has a screenshot of alpha/beta graphics: http://artho.com/age/old6b98.html- LmScar12

Gate Kill in AOE2
Yep, memories overwritten by and mixed with dreams and thoughts of what would be cool, along with memories of AoE1. EDIT: Although I guess "Mandela Effect" refers to this happening as a mass phenomenon.- LmScar12

Gate Kill in AOE2
These have never been part of AoE2 ever since its first official release. One or both may possibly have been in an alpha or beta version. Relic carts are a scenario editor unit, and a standard unit in AoE1 (called artifacts).- LmScar12

Does 1600 define the meta?
I think you might be laboring under a misunderstanding of the reddit post. The post claimed that an identifiable "meta" begins at ~1500 Elo, but not that it stops or tapers off at some higher point. The main argument was that the game is actually easier to read in some ways once you get high...- LmScar12

Britons are Celts not British
The "Celts" civ in AoE2 imo represents the Celts that were never part of the Roman world, such as Picts, Scots, and Irish. The Britons is a bit a messy on the other hand, since they represent both the post-Romanized Celtic/Brittonic peoples and the meld with Anglo-Saxon and later Norman...- LmScar12

Civ concept: The Khazars ("Eco-civ")
The Khazars' history isn't exactly well-attested, but it's believed the ruling class were Jewish by religion, not by ethnicity. They converted to Judaism just as neighboring nomadics converted to Manicheanism, Christianity, or Islam. "Turks" in our day means people of Turkey, but in the...- LmScar12

Current Situation on Aoe4 and Aoe2
Judging by the hint (just ignore the whole actual puzzle part it's a red herring), Houseboat is going to be the standard start on all maps, both singleplayer and multiplayer- LmScar12

Is TheViper's dynasty over?
I believe it's more about keeping action constant rather than shortening game length. I personally don't like it since it reduces strategy though.- LmScar12

AOE-II DE Do you think Shirvamsha rider should keep their dodge against melee projectiles or even gunpowder too?!
I purposely didn't mention siege, not sure why you bring it up as a counter-argument. You can form your own opinion on which specific siege projectiles are realistically dodgeable. I don't buy the idea that not being able to dodge melee projectiles will somehow improve the balance of this unit...- LmScar12

AOE-II DE Do you think Shirvamsha rider should keep their dodge against melee projectiles or even gunpowder too?!
If we think about it with real-world logic, it clearly makes sense for it to be able to dodge "melee" projectiles as well as arrows. Arrows are both smaller and faster than a thrown sword or axe, and thus will be harder for a guy on a horse to see and dodge successfully. If they can dodge an...- LmScar12
