Has it been said if Varangian Guards will be accessible to non-DLC civs in some manner? I'm going to assume ordinary Vikangz at least and maybe Byzantines.

So what's the point of resigning instead of just quitting the match? To see the opponent spam "11"?

Shieldmaidens for the viking civs? Theyre discussing that on the official forum now.I think its hilarious that British/Christian men were so weak that the Scandinavians decided to send their women to kill and plunder (and rape?) them. They were like:>Harald, I think even Greta could kill these twinks with her bare hands, lets bring her along next trip. >Lmao, I agree, Sven, that would be hilarious

I have questions and googling gives me jackshit, please help because I am confused: 1. Who are like the "main" guys developing AoE as a whole now? I hadd assumed Forgotten Empires, but apparently they're super tiny and even had layoffs. Whenever I look at the developers listed or try to figure out who "did" something there's like 100 studios listed. Is the huge disparty between quality because there's at any point several different studios doing something or just some bad studios? 2. Why do people say Chronicles 3 likely isn't going to happen? I know Forgotten Empires had layoffs but are they even the guys responsible for Chronicles? 3. Why did only Indians get the bandaid ripped off and get totally removed in favor of addressing the elephant in the room with increasingly civ divisions but very generic cultural/geographical/ethnic conglomerates like Slavs/Vikings/Chinese still exist? Was there backlash against removing India so now they're just going to ignore the problem?

What the FUCK happened with the look of AoM: Retold and AoE3: DE? I don't consider the originals to be timeless lookers, I'd even say AoE3 is pretty ugly(and AoM is lower than the standards of early 2000's RTS visuals beyond unit design which is a low bar). But both of these games look worse than the originals given the time consideration. Flat textures, weird ass portraits, bloom, flare, and so many post processing effects it looks smeared. Everything looks like a painted miniature ran through ENB with painted contrasts/washes instead of actual shading. Then these goddamn portraits, from the AI looking shit from the beta of AoM to whatever the hell AoE3:DE is going for with these portraits that look like somebody stripped a couple layers of detail by accident. Ensemble were programmers first and still they managed to punch above their weight, but all the contracted studios and teams Microsoft has can't make something that doesn't strain the eyes unless I turn off 30 post-processing settings(and even then still looks like shit)? AoE4 has the blur ane bloom problem, too, and it just gave up on unit icons or art. But I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and blame Relic more on that case.

Just got raped by a roman. He threw his LSs into my TC WHILE my crossbowmen were attacking them. TC fire + crossbowmen, the LSs didn't give a shit and would kill my xbow in spite of me kiting. He also was outecoing me like crazy even though I was playing 3 TC with a few archers while he was yoloing 10s of LSs into my base constantly alongside scorpions. Dude got to imperial before I could even click myself. So what's the counterplay to this civ? The fastest rush in the game is MAA rush but good luck beating his MAA and his timing. Archers didn't work, even in feudal his MAA were tanking like crazy. Spoonfeed me a solution. Wut do?

Still working on figuring out how to counter the Skirm and Archer Rush. I know it's melee units but there's so many that I can't build fast enough. I can make more Barracks but finding more food and gold is hard, and by the time I get to Castle age all the relics are gone. This sucks. Everything sucks. Maybe I just need to play Byzantines and counter spam with my own Skirms? I started playing on small maps so space is becoming hard to come by.

Are there any build orders out there that actually take into account the walls and defensive units you have to build and aren't just le FC boom? Because pretty much all build orders I see assume the enemy is never going to attack you. Also fuck my chungus life for posting in the wrong thread.
