Is it ever worth switching flank and pocket opponents.
What I mean is that if you get a crap pocket civ, say Aztecs, and a crap flank civ like Spanish, is it ever viable for the aztec player to drush the enemy flank and the Spanish player to go fc and kts?
I've tried it occasionally in noob...
Something really weird happened today. I was chatting with Drushy, who showed me a rec of a game he had just played. And then the next game I played I managed to mimic his style almost to a tee. Have you ever managed to copy someone else this perfectly?!!
Drushy's game...
Is there a standard for 22 pop up that you should have when you hit feudal? Ie. When you watch your rec, if you paused at whenever you hit feudal and check achievement, is there a benchmark a noob could aim for?
Edit. I initially thought huns but could be for any civ, I guess some civs would...
From the previous poll there seems to be support for a change to the current system of NPL and MS.
How would this best be implemented?
Pease leave ideas if you select 2 or 3.
I think the best solution is to remove the NPL and then have different starting ratings as someone said in the other...
I just saw this was raised in the "Decay System" topic, and I noticed today when I logged on that there were more people in the NPL than in MS. Maybe it's time we redefined "New Player"?
Given that there is almost noone below 1400 in MS, why not make that the new starting rate? Then new...
My Internet has been really rubbish recently, so I've been doing some offline build order practice, with huns. I've tended to only do dark age build but now I've been practicing 21 pop, 6 scouts, 2 range archers and then castle at around 22 mins. But I noticed that when I hit castle, my farms...
Now I have generally steered away from playing this game type, because its what everyone else does and I like to mix it up. I like to go random, or at least team random civs.
But a friend convinced me that this was the best way to improve because you improve micro, its the "fastest" etc. So I...
Drushing is probably one of the stronger parts of my game, in most games i drush manage to do a significant amount of damage. But, my issue is that I take too long to feudal, ie. I need to 26-27 vills up. So often I get trushed/ fwded and because I cant get up defensive tower I die and lose...
Before i saw the round of 128 stats, i was thinking that Celts looked like they had received the most buffs and would end up being the "best" civ (determined by win %) and, sure enough, they are sitting pretty at 4 -0. But lets be honest, these were probably skewed due to massive skill...

Ok, I'm vsing a 1700 player first up, and I have a gut feeling im gonna get my ass handed to me.
I haven't had a chance to look extensively at balance changes, to determine which is the new best civ.
Help me out?
There has been a lot of dicussion about slinging, it's place in the game and how OP or not it is.
But I am wondering, if you see one opponent, say viks or aztecs, is fully stonewalled on arabia, what is the best way to counter the sling that you can assume is coming your way?
My opinion is...
I noticed another thread about persian late game unit composition, and I thought it might be helpful to have a list of the best unjt comps late game.
For example, most mongol wars, you will scrush into archers, then go castle ulgrade upgrade to xbow, and make kts and some siege. But when you...
I've always preferred the aztecs over the mayans, for no particular reason. But after thinking about it for a little bit, there seems to be no area, apart from the drush but I dont feel like thats a massive advantage, in which the aztecs beat the mayans. Flush, mayans, cheaper archers, castle...
After playing some games, I've noticed that around my level, 1450ish, there is a big skill disparity between players. I have a feeling its because some people will mainly play players that are lower than them in order to inflate their own elo. Now, its possible to see wins/losses, which is...
Ok, so I really enjoy playing on voobly. There is so much less lag than HD and it's much easier to find good games, BUT, I can't seem to consistently connect with people.
I've run the network diagnostic tool and it gives me an all clear, but I always get fp with people and it tells me to...
