I've never been a stream watcher but the youtube scene existed much before streaming AoE content was a thing and but I guess those viewers either watch streams or VODs now.
Yeah I'm already subbed to him and will check him out but don't people make build tutorials anymore? Or even just build order posts where they mention how and where to allocate the villagers? Watching VODs can only be so helpful, especially when all you're rusty and don't follow some of the stuff.
I got a bigger question, why has the whole scene shifted to livestreaming to the extent that every AoE2 video you find on youtube is a cut and edited stream?
Trying to suck less at this game now that I have some time but it seems people don't talk about build orders on the forums and don't make tutorials on youtube anymore. All the ones I could find on youtube are from streams and are 1 year older or more.
I still remember that you have to put the...
Anyone notice the -3 cavalry resistance attack that all mounted units seem to have? I saw it on the tt site: https://aoe2techtree.net/#Persians It says -3 (Cavalry resistance) in the attacks section for every mounted unit I checked for. Camels show it in both the armor and attacks section...
Akshually they'd be the Angevin Empire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angevin_Empire
But necromancy of a two year-old-thread aside, even many of the new civs have names that don't make sense (Italians, Dravidians, Malay, Hindustanis etc) so I think they're just going with broader / generalized...
I tried changing my name from my current one to Sobek_Cataphract before searching that name and seeing that Sobek is already a used name by a player in tournaments; I also forgot to put in a reason for the name change. Having such a similar name may make people think I'm him so I don't want that...
Paid mods ended really well, for Bethesda that is. They were pushed back in their first try and they succeeded in the second try. Fallout 4 and Skyrim Speical Edition now have the ''Creator Club'' where players can buy user-created and Bethesda-vetted mods for credits bought with real money...
Except most people besides ''please make more DLC'' drones would be happy with having a stable, fun and balanced game whose value won't expire when the next patch or DLC screws everything up.
So much corporate money-speak is just more evidence that AoE2 as it once existed is dead. The game being sustainable shouldn't be a concern of the players. Its fun to discuss and all but they don't care about player feedback unless it touches their bottom line.
Lets take the example of...
Oh the irony of people defending character assassination as free speech. In your ideal world, is free speech in the hands of a biased mega-corp that plays favorites for money over principles?
Gurjaras look anemic. No RAA, no Parthian tactics, no blast furnace, no battle elephant, their highest damaging unit is their 2HSwords with 12+2 attack and they have almost nothing to show for it. Their tankiest non-siege gold unit has 4 PA when fully upgraded while still costing 800G to...
There is a difference between people who want to be famous and people who just want to share their passion. ''Famous'' streamers a bit like wannabe celebrities and are people who stream every aspect of their lives and talk about personal stuff in (too much) detail. I'm sure you know the type...
Look at it in reverse, is it part of anyone's job to follow a streamer's stats in a game that he's playing on the side and gossip about his alleged lack of skill / improvement / luck? Its like being the paparazzi; what purpose does it serve?
You're going to give him anxiety or something, just let the guy enjoy his hiatus. Imagine everything you do being gone through with a fine-toothed comb by strangers on the internet. Imagine not being able to stop it because playing games online is your job. Imagine not being able to talk about...
Don't be sad man, I'm here and plenty of others here know you post stuff lightheartedly or in jest. Earlier we could just post what we felt like and everyone, or most people here at least, would understand both the post and also what we felt like when we posted it, and take it in the right...
