It's the same for me.
Watching aoe2 is so much connected with all our unique proplayers with their different background and personality. That's what actually makes me care for what's going on in the games.
I feel like HC really exploded when there was the big aoe2 boom in 2021 and people would...
This post should make it clear for everyone, thanks! That's pretty much me before I started picking civs :F
I don't think it was sarcasm. It's funny to read, a littel exaggerated, but he seems to make a serious point for us beginners here.
What you're writing here is in agreement with my initial point. Playing random is overwhelming as beginner because every civ plays out different. That's why for me it's easier to get a feeling of the game by picking a few civs.
Then again, you say that civs don't matter at all at <1200 elo...
It doesn't support your point since you're acting like civs don't matter at low Elo at all. It just shows that civs matter less at low Elo, which I don't deny. Btw Frank's at 1000-1250 Elo have a 63% winrate against Sicilians. Seems like the civ matters a lot here.
Also disagree about learning...
I agree with what you're saying, but my initial point still stands.
Playing 40 civs as beginner is overwhelming for me. And by picking just a few civs I got a better feeling for their strengths, weaknesses and timings, which made it more fun for me personally.
Even if I have 5 mins of Idle...
A bit rude, don't you think?
I don't need to have 2000 elo to notice civ bonuses. Even a pleb like me notices the effect of briton archers having more range, mongols hunting faster, celt mangonels attacking faster. Are you suggesting that everyone below 2k elo is only allowed to practice...
Arguing about dash's twitch viewer numbers makes not much sense. Me and probably many others always enjoyed him hosting LoL-tournaments. We're talking about millions (!) of viewers at peak times. Still, I wouldn't watch him play casual games on twitch. That's just not his role and what I...
As a beginner, it's very hard to get a feeling for the game with random civs.
I love the variety of age of epmires. But it became much more fun when I started picking civs. Only after several games with the same civ, I started to get a feeling for the powerspikes of my civ and against which...
Recently, neither aoenexus.com nor aoe2.gg seem to update or even show the RM match history. Is there another website which is currently working? Thanks!
Hey guys,
I'm around 1100 Elo and recently started to play ranked a bit more. I noticed that I usually have 2-4 Minutes TC Idle time in mid feudal age. Also my eco balance is usually far off from clicking castle age without floating wood or using the market 2-3 times. This is due to the early...
Thanks, that's actually a good workaround. Still, I think they could show it in the game without any downsides.
I guess that comes with routine. But with my current skill, even when I play standard archers or scouts, I have to look up the buildorder and how to rearrange the vills after clicking...
I like to play random but don't have a good knowledge about each civ. Therefore, it would be great to know the civ as soon as I get matched. I would have one minute to check for a buildorder, the boni and tech tree of the civ.
The way it is now, I have only a few seconds during the start screen...
You're right, that's probably the reason why not playing the beta is emphazised in the post. I apologize for smelling drama where there probably wasn't any.
To me, the texts sound a lot like someone want to stress that the players had access to AoE4 ("during various stages of the game's pre-alpha, alpha, and beta versions"). But still, they didn't play and and contributed to the development of AoE4 ("However, it was not until the creator preview...
Hey guys,
I just came across some of the players Biography on Liquipedia. For many players (even Nili, who switched to aoe4), ist sais:
"XXX had access to Age of Empires IV during various stages of the game's pre-alpha, alpha, and beta versions. However, it was not until the creator preview...
For me as a casual, it is actually important to have an active pro scene. It's much more motivating to get better at a game that has some relevance and is likely to be played for the next several years. I know the game is for fun, but we all know it can also be a struggle as well, and you have...
I think your second (2.) point is just a minor and solvable problem. If a player wants their individual rating to be reflected, it's easy to just slide in some solo games. As I wrote earlier, skill changes slowly, so that's nothing you'd have to do a lot.
The first point (1.) is the real issue...
