That would be from Smashwords, by far, where I get about 70% of the price. In amazon I get at most 30%... (depending on the country, it can be less). Thanks for asking that ;)
Hey guys,
the things I couldn't put in the book keep coming :) In there I mentioned that limiting variables is a great way to practice and watch recorded games because they allow you to see patterns much more easily, and thus extract information and learn faster. I do what I preach, and that...
Hey guys,
more leftovers that I couldn't put on my book because of copyright issues (can't use in-game images). This time it's about building positioning. I had taken some full map screenshots of the base of top 1v1 arabia players in the dark age at ~6:00 where they generally know where the...
Yup :). I think only land animal food decays. Which makes sense because as soon as we kill an animal the meat starts to decompose. But as for fishing in AoC there's no killing, only catching. Think of it like this: 140 f of a deer means a deer has 140kg of edible meat. But 300 f of fish means...
Yes, of course! Only that way could I have a different result for Teutons :) At the left side of the image below, notice "cost of farm". Then in the big table you can see "time for same food of mill in farms", where I converted all the resource values into time, so the time to gather the cost of...
2 Goths vils can bring a maximum of 100 food/trip, which is what they bring per trip.
3 Goth vils can bring a maximum of 150 food/trip, but they only bring 112, the rest is lost to decay. After doing the math I reached the conclusion that 1 extra vil for 12 extra food/deer is not worth it...
Yes, it's possible. I thought about doing that, in fact, when I was writing this one. I didn't do it because it's another investment of 2-3 months full time, and it was too risky to spend so much time without income not knowing if it was going to sell anything or not, and I still need to pay...
So I just updated the initial post because some people were using the sample to judge the whole book, a lot didn't read the descriptions, and extrapolate that it didn't talk about build orders, and basically the most important things that newbies need to know. I didn't think people would do this...
Thanks a lot everyone for the support and fair reviews. I sincerely hope this book helps solving the issues that I was seeing of newbies coming to forums asking for builds, or improving tips, and demystifies the process of improving. Basically I wanted a compact thing where players could have a...
Hey guys !
First of all, I'd like to thank the admins for letting me post this. I hope this is of most of you out there's interest :)
As I had mentioned in a previous topic, for the last few months I've been writing a book about strategies, builds and tips about Age of Empires 2. I thought...
Thanks, I knew there was something off. I will probably add that as a footnote, as I think that would make the scout speed overly complicated, and it doesn't change it's speed relationship with other units.
Thanks for the suggestions. In my view the purpose of this image is to more quickly compare unit speeds and get a broad view of how each unit compares to all the others, and not as much to know their specific movement speed values, though you can still do it. But for specific values i'd rather...
Hey guys,
I'm writing a book about learning AoC but since I've discovered that I can't use any in-game screenshots then I had to remove/adapt some of the things I was making/made. One of those is this image where all units' speed is put on a scale for a simpler visualization.
Since i can't...
I agree with the general sentiment.
I've seen some recent recs and game commentaries to refresh my memory on the feel of the game. AoC seems like a good mix of strategy and mechanics, and knowledge plays a bigger role than in SC. If you're good mechanically in SC you can go very far, as long as...
Ok, from what i read 1600 would put the player in the top 5-10% [1] in terms of skill (if 1600 is ~high Diamond /Masters) which isn't exactly what i'm used to. Back in MSN Zone, it would be more like in the middle.
Do you feel you improve slowly at AoC? Is so, could it be the fact that AoC...
Hey there!
I used to play AoC some years ago and was only ~1700 mainly due to lack of practice because I preferred watching replays instead. When I stopped and after a while, I moved to Starcraft 2 and became Diamond / Master at 1v1 (mostly Zerg and some Protoss).
If i came back here, how well...
