I dont know if it is my imagination. But browsing this website appears to be the slowest of any I have ever seen including 20 years ago. I wouldn't mind ads quite so much if it wasn't for this. Nevertheless appreciate the site being kept around.
The biggest issue for me in DE is the changing of maps to eliminate rng from them and odd choices in them. Voobly and HD are far superior in that regard. Close sheep/deer/boars, not random at all megarandom, overly large Fortress/ islands (aka boring walking across the map taking forever)...
Most important to least:
1.Macro
2.Micro (imagine losing 20 units to 2 monks reusing conversions)
3.Game knowledge (everyone knows many noobs with incredibly specific knowledge on movement speed, tech trees etc that are virtually useless)
Easiest to hardest to learn:
1. Game knowledge (just...
Vince: oo that's myth post, must be bad
Honestly last years or this years tournament setups have been about as good as a clown like me can really expect. Obviously I would love to have more warlords / wandering warriors / master of Arena / wallhalla / ttl type of tourneys though, and less...
Nice discussion and I didn't watch any podcast, just read the thread, so I will stay mostly out of it for now. I would say that mass knights is not a very common strategy or a good one even if you don't face monks. You are relying on breaking palisade walls and houses? Doesn't seem that...
I didn't watch much of kotd no. I saw a few games there where it looked like mostly archer units in the mid game. Seems like more variety could be had.
I would like to suggest a different nerf, where the skirmisher or archer missed shot does not deal any damage. That would legitimately...
Lol it's hysterical. Hardly any monks are even made in arabia games. Look at the numbers of skirmishers and Crossbowmen if you want a unit to nerf. Even in pure cavalry match ups both players will often go the archery range units.
Nerfing niche units like monks makes no sense, it's like...
To answer the original poster's question, how would the world be without aoezone? I would say confusing and uninformed. It's nice to have the one location to sign up for tournaments and to follow the events of aoe2. It's also a way to get discussion on the latest news, and to find streamers...
Always nice to see the scheduled posts on Aoezone from people hating aoezone! See you guys next week.
In all honesty no single platform is needed for aoe2 except steam / the game itself
Interesting take on a video game. I suppose you think that pixels are historically inaccurate and so are "rally points". Well, you are right. There are some concessions to make so that aoe2 is a game and not a 1000 page history book.
As a video game compared to video games, aoe2 is very...
Does anybody else feel like the infantry buffs are the wrong direction for the game? Champion line is so stale and "hands-off" -- you can't particularly micro them
Simply resign at any point you're not having fun, or watch tournaments that have time limits (e.g. redbull).
Though, to your point, I guess I wouldn't mind playing with wonders and relic victories, at least for a little while to see if it would work out. That that functionality exists and is...
128000 is the sum of ranked match players on aoe2.net, including dm, eq, and tg. If you look only at rm tg there's 77000. there are also unranked (probably an equal amount). Not to mention another possible equal amount on other platforms aside from de.
It's a lot more than I would have...
