as a new player, what's the deal with ancient era AoE? There's AoE I DE, Return of Rome in AoE II DE, and Chronicles in II DE? Which one do I play for funny chariots?

Does anyone else think the last patch was awful? A bunch of nerfs to off meta strats, pathing especially for villagers is at its worst it's ever been, shift queue is broken. Siege tower, eagles and champi all nerfed, slight nerfs to Chinese and Vietnamese is deserved but buffing a top 5 civs like vikings is stupid, new Arabia sucks and it wasting a slot in the 1v1 pool. New civs are cool but underperformimg (except Saxons which is op).

I've been trying to main magyars so I can kinda toughen myself up while I learn the game since their bonuses are kinda bad and they have the worst eco in the game, and I'm certainly getting fucked. I've had games where I'm constantly producing vills while raiding the fuck out of the opponent and I still get outeco'd. I played against vikings recently and the guy's economy was way better than mine. Checked the vill count after i resigned, he had 30 vills less than me, yet he had a lot more military and could afford more techs than I could. And he was 3 TCing just like I was, this wasn't a "he was going all in with military while you were booming with a civ that's bad at booming", no, he had 30 vills less because I killed a lot of his vills. Didn't matter in the end. 1050 elo btw

So thinking about how civ bonuses could be applied to other areas. Like Armenian barrack bonus but Stables/Archery/Siege/Docks Or Saxon shield wall but applied to a more expensive and hard to mass unit type.

I literally have never played a 3 kingdom civ, nor a champi warrior civ. I stopped playing incas immediately once they removed their militia and eagles. They used to be my most played civ.

playing Avars custom campaign its actually entertaining but maybe a bit too easy. I suck so playing moderate though and some of these custom campaigns send capped rams and FU cavalry to my castle age village.

playing random civs isn't helping me, I think I should keep a small pool of civs recommend me 2 cav civs 2 infantry civs and 2 archer civs (actually, only 1 archer civ, I already decided I want to play mayans)

Any 3 players here? Why should you use unit cards? They cost resources, population and it takes time for the card to arrive so why shouldn't you just send an economy card and build regular troops? Also why do some natives/mercs cost population at embassies and others don't?

I have a confession. As much as I hate activision blizzard, I really did want to play Starcraft 1 as a kid if it had more of the expansive civ set that AoE2 had and looked still like starcraft 1's art design. I don't understand how they fucked up the designs with 2 and was very disappointed with Warcraft 3 and DotA as a kid. LoL was not an interest because I never like DotA. Didn't feel like a proper war rts and felt like an rpg instead with simplified micro. Diablo IV wasn't great, but it was an improvement on III definitely, especially with look.Anyway, what I'm saying is I hope AoE2 design starts to influence those more. Because I don't really like hero units (though Diablo is a different thing entirely and not really an rts) that much and those games could use more influence on the brutal war aspect. Starcraft was ok, but warcraft just feels so fluffy when it should feel like Minas Tirith with war. That said, Battle for Middle Earth was kinda a missed opportunity in the end. Fucking EA. It was okish, but it also felt very shit at times. That should have just gone full AoE2 and ignored the book's plot. Expand the universe with factions and have campaigns. There is a lore limitation there./autistic blabber.>remember that time a meme critical of the WOKEness of the HD edition actually sold the fucking HD Edition out of obscurity We thank our lord, t. Alberto Barbosa. This used to happen with Warcraft too back in the day. Critical memes just sorta fed it. Other games didn't really have that positive reaction to critical memes much, but these two games did.

the ELO system has it against me, all of my recent loses have been against players whose max elo was well over 200 that of mine i don't even understand how people can lose so much elo in the first place, ever since I began playing, the most elo I've lost after hitting a PR was like 150, yet I keep seeing all these people in the 1200s whose max ELO was like 1550 fuck off
