Q&A Thread for IYIyTh
If he was that good, it can’t be that Myth as Gamespy was more of a beginner’s lobby. Aside from Ra who I think started on Gamespy (no clue what his rating was then), the only strongest player I know of back then was Heiko who was 2k at the time, then later 2100-2200 on voobly. I suppose I may...

Q&A Thread for IYIyTh
Ah, I see. Must’ve been someone else then. I didn’t even know you could play poker on Gamespy. Only ever used it for aoe and Stronghold Crusader. Kind of wonder what would’ve happened if I never came across it, if I would’ve gotten into zone instead or maybe I might’ve never played aoe online...- Rayne

Q&A Thread for IYIyTh
Interesting about Gamespy, now I see why you have the name Myth. There were some players that dled 1.0 crack I believe and that was the default name unless someone changed it. Were you around on GS from 2004-2006 (early/mid 2006)? There’s a good chance we actually played with/vs each other if...- Rayne

Is AOEZones dynasty over?
I don’t completely disagree with what you and Andrew are saying, but I’d say it is also more than that in a few ways. You figure when nearly if not every known figure spoke out about things on aoezone at some point, it means there is something to it. I did happen to review about all drama...- Rayne

I’m not so sure it is crystal clear. It is actually somewhat complicated in my opinion. What’s clear to you?- Rayne

Is AOEZones dynasty over?
I actually think so for the first time ever. Been around here since aocgroup closed in 2008-2009 and even aocgroup was more active than these days. Kind of sad tbh. And what was even more depressing is I was curious how active aoe2 reddit was compared to here. Saw sometimes 1-3 posts on here...- Rayne

AOE-II Here we go again... Which trait is the least important in AOE2?
Funny, I was thinking about macro and knowledge before. I’d say anything a person ‘draws’ from has to do with knowledge, which would be many things like you say. I actually thought in my experience at least in the past, it would be more than 18+ or even some 2ks. You could beat 2100s and even...- Rayne

AOE-II Here we go again... Which trait is the least important in AOE2?
I’d think it is. Many things stem from knowledge, then there’s the application of it. Knowledge is defined as fact or condition of knowing something with familiarity gained through experience or association. Then there’s a sub definition which is acquaintance with or understanding of a science...- Rayne

AOE-II Here we go again... Which trait is the least important in AOE2?
Probably something that could be called self-psychology would be the least important trait, since it’s (psychology) rarely ever talked about in what feels like any game. It can affect all 3 of those things on a physical level too. Also, isn’t macro just basically speed on an all-encompassing level?- Rayne

Some balance suggestions for the better
I thought AoE3 has some population mechanic like this. Personally I thought it was cool. Certain units like heavy cavs would take up 2 pop and other units 1 pop. Then there is Russians which could crank out vills in batches of 3 but made slower, or Stretlets which were made 10 at a time but...- Rayne

AOE-II DE The AoE Liquipedia Needs Your Help to Hunt Down a Historic Logo
Wow, brings back a lot of memories seeing most of those names. I wouldn’t know how to help with the logo, but there’s some names I could throw that are missing that could be added. One that fits the ancient timeline (of the many names I see) is Hammet, shocked he isn’t there. I think that’s...- Rayne

You know, generally I hate ignoring people since I always feel bad about it even though you’re being cheeky, condescending, and also hasty, incomplete and inaccurate in your thoughts. You’re also proving what’s in the Harvard link yourself incase you didn’t know, which is almost cute though I...- Rayne

I must’ve read at least 5 of these things over past few years. I found the Yale one, the Harvard I think I found one too. But I am missing another from Harvard that was called a corny title like “The Age of Outrage” which is more the one you want. It doesn’t pop up for me unfortunately. It’s...- Rayne

Not that I’m looking to seriously chime in here as I’d surely get laughed out of this topic if not also be offensive to some, but nothing you mention is really mysterious. Harvard and Yale have done studies on social media which explain a lot of this imo. Gets complicated too. A tldr would be...- Rayne

Are monks overpowered?
Stronghold Crusader was incredible, used to love that 14-15 years ago. It’s a shame there was never any serious online competition. Also, CA+shields was dumbest broken combo ever 11.- Rayne

Do we need AoEZone?
Have to say, that made me smile in a good way. Touché, you do have me a bit on my own words. Communication could always be better I suppose? Dunno though, didn’t keep up much with tourney stuff past years. And if I’d voice a worry though, it looks as though there’s such an over saturation and...- Rayne

Do we need AoEZone?
Yeah what’s fine or not is something I’ve wondered about. I dunno what others are doing, but not only did I think bad criticism needs to be organized into some hierarchy like minor-medium-extreme and actions appropriate (perhaps nothing for minor depending), good criticism can have something...- Rayne

Well excuse me I suppose. Makes me feel a little sad to be honest. Guess I am only one here taking the moderation thing seriously. Forums haven’t exactly been active (swear only 2 topics whole week), this at least promotes some sort of activity no?- Rayne

Do we need AoEZone?
Man, have to say. Listening to all sides objectively is pretty hard. Wondering what I’d go through if I became a psychologist and listened to people’s issues. Kind of glad I never did now. It’s a small topic, but I read through it even given my headache. I think it’s important first to...- Rayne
