>>2677278

making a AOE2 total conversion using assets from aoe1 doesn't sound that imposile really

but it would probably be classified as piracy, since its technically a mod using stolen assets from a game, even if it's from aoe1 to aoe2....

unless i were to create such total conversion, then use some patching software to create a mod installer that uses aoe1 and aoe2 as source. hummmmmm

but then again, what was so backwards on aoe1?

i recall units didnt auto gather resources after building, no gates, not any ship behaviour options, and for land units no agressive/defensive options
buuuut, there are actually a controversy among historians if romans did even use chariots for war

true, but still, zero reasons to play a reskinned aoe2, but in truth its not becasue its more fun, it's just because its star wars themed... go play some dark forces 2 theres even a smalll multiplayer community still alive

you're gonna have to explain the issue better than that

check the help pages on voobly.com

perhaps you are not using the 'userpatch' to make it work on your modern windows and widescreen display, so just install voobly and upon loading choose version 1.4

sounds like one of the many ways that ensemble envisioned for the game to be played

but also another example of a thing players simply shut off their minds to, in this case with locked teams + pre selecting

i managed to convince some players to play a free for all, no locked anything, i think it was even an odd number of players, one modafuca kept killing off 1 player at a time, while i had been calling the disaster from the mid game, finally with 3 left the other guy agreed to join forces, but too late, loads of fun

I do really good against friends who've played as long as me, but I don't play online because every time I do, I end up facing some dickhead that runs villagers over to build walls around my resources. Sure I could do it too, but it just seems ridiculous for this lone villager to walk to an enemy encampment carrying tons of materials to construct a wall faster than people can tear it down.

I wrote it on another thread but I think it's a nice memory to share with other fellow AoE2 players.

>younger me, high school
>have 2 two hour computer classes with the same teacher
>he doesn't gives a shit
>he just does the roll call and flees to the teachers room next door
>be left in groups of eight for 4 hours straight at the computer rooms
>pcs are lan connected
>AoE 2 madness begins.bat

This situation held on for 2 years and a half.
We had lots of epic huge battles, mostly free for all and 4vs4.
I remember this particular match in which 6 players were left with only 6 o 7 military units each, with the map fully revealed and we tried to kill each other for like one hour on a map that was pretty much a maze due to all the fallen walls.

>Post your Strategies
Celts (Black forest maps only) - get to the imperial age asap, get out 40 upgraded scorpions (forgot the name) to guard your front gate, meanwhile have a couple of siege orangers tunnel through the side forest to the side of the enemy base and send in 80+ fully upgraded paladins through the passage.
Works well but I don't really find the strategy very fun, tbh.

Chinese - Rush imperial age asap, start spamming Chu-ko-nu like it's going out of style and spend everything else I have on spamming Elite Skirmishers.
Works well and pretty fun seeing arrows coming in a stream as if out of a fire hose.

Goths - HUSKARLS

the only incompatibility is color and resolution, so just redownload a full game instead of shitty rip, or better, isos

also,

>no music
age2 music was regular redbook audio CD format, u played with the CDrom on the tray

just convert / download soundtrack as mp3, and load it on XMplay or AIMP, for 2 examples of slim players, both have options for global hotkey, set "PLAY/PAUSE" to you keyboard's pAUSE-BREAK button

as soon as you start the matches hit the music,

Honestly I loved AoE 3. Make sure to get the Improvement Mod, it adds back in AoE 2-style victory conditions, like monopolising trade routes.

Say what you will about home cities, but stuff like trains, villages, explorer parties, mercenaries and forts really change up the formula for the better. Also there are way more differences between the individual civs (especially the Natives and Asians).

Not like there are many other options for a themed expansion. The only continent* left uncovered is Oceania and they've barely had any civilization to speak of in the game's timespan let alone one that could conceivably coexist and compete with the already represented ones. Even though there are some other major historical empires I'd still like to see in the game - like the Khazars, Indochinese kingdoms like Khmer or Vietnam or something like the Portuguese or Poles-Lithuanians (though Slavs seem to cover the latter).

Because they don't fit periodically and we basically don't know anything about their civilizations and lifestyles before the far tail end of AoE 2's timespan. The Iroquois Confederation could probably fit very very narrowly but the popular conception of history associates the Native Americans with a later period of history.

>>2692295
That'd be pretty gud. Then again don't forget that AoE 2 is supposed to cover like a millenium of history so splitting up the Teutons and Vikings may create even more consistency problems. Wasn't there also a mod for all the different German duchies, Switzerland and such?

Just tested it, the clock is moving about 2 seconds for every 3 that pass because of constant lag spikes. Defending / doing anything is near impossible since my view either doesn't move or zooms past whatever it is I'm trying to look at, or just trying to do anything in general is a pain.

The HD version looks good and I'm interested in getting it on steam when a sale happens but not if this lag keeps making things unplayable; I just don't know what the root cause is.

This game was my entire childhood. Its really hard to put into words what this game was to me because as a kid who struggled with social interactions when I was literally like 6 this was the most amazing thing ever. I used to slide down slides pretending I was shooting arrows like the archers in the game and a majority of my time was spent playing this game in my basement at a very very early age. To give you a perspective, I used to have to call my dad over, who worked at home in the same basement I was playing the game in, to type in cheat codes when I was learning because I couldn't even do that. Fucking cheesesteakjimmies manneeee. Anyways I can remember in exact detail what the computer I used back then looked like running like windows 98. (that might be off but it was old) and I would sit there for hours and just play and play and play. People later in life would say "Civilization is better" and Id immediately take their fedoras and light them on fire because as far as I was concerned this shit was holy material. Im serious I used to live this shit when I was young brings back the memories heavy. So glad I saw this thread. Moral of the story don't get a mac for college even if they tell you to because now I can't play that gold.

Where the fuck is the fun with that? The original didn't have any problems with m,ax players and tons of units going by memory so why should the "improved" remastered edition introduce problems with it?

I like big crazy games with lots of units, this is honestly gonna hurt my desire a lot in buying the game, especially since I've a pretty nice PC with ton of ram and stuff, shouldn't be suffering that sort of problem.

Okay little grasshopper, here a few lots of things you must learn and pick up

>Scout your enemy, check if he's trying to rush you; or if he's trying to boom/turtle; decide what to do with that in mind

>Be sure to wall your base, no holes, pay attention for holes, use units to check for holes

>Scout your enemy some more

>Avoid massing just 1 type of unit, they tend to be easy to counter

>Keep in mind that you must balance your resource gathering; No wood means no farms, no farms means no food, no food means no villagers and units; no more villagers means a stalled economy, stalled economy = gg

>If you gonna hunt deers, always try to drop a mll in the middle of the herd

>Scout your enemy

>Look for relics, every golden coin is worth it in the late game

>Create multiple Town Centers (TCs), build them next to your resources (aka: next to a forest, next to a Gold mine, next to a Stone mine)

>Scout your enemy

>Dont stop creating villagers, every second your TC is idle the enemy will take advantage over you (this is averted if you're saving food for a rush, but it's a really risky move)

>If you're getting attacked, garrison villagers inside TC; wall off your gathering villagers with buildings, towers do help too

>Set Lancemen and Skirmishers in defensive stance to guard resources

>Scout your enemy

>If you're not 'Castle Dropping', make sure to build your castle next to vital resources, so they can't get raided easily

>Petards, Rams and Mangodels excells on sieging a base, tho you will need plenty of rams and petards to destroy a castle; dont send mangodels against castles.

>Did I already said 'Scout your enemy'? You should do that.

Guys on ggn, which do I download? The HD version doesn't have LAN but obviously looks pretty much better, but there's like a fuck ton of game updates v2.0-4.5 and I wonder if I shouldn't just download the internal GGn release of the original AoE2 so I can enjoy multiplayer.

>Experience the HD edition's new AI for the first time
Not sure how I feel about this, sure it's very strong but at the same time it doesn't really do anything other than defending. Just played a 3 hour RM game with an AI partner and it just sat in its base the entire game and only came out to kill enemies that were right on the doorstep. It's not really very fun when your partner leaves everything to you or you never have to defend you base because they never attack.

And because the Viper says so you will give the enemy a chance to rush you?

What if the Viper says to delete your TC as soon you start every game?
Sure thats crazy, but the Viper said that, he must be right.

There is no reason to not wall with buildings or palidase, to prevent an early rush from fucking up your eco; it doesnt matter if you're rushing yourself; if for some reason the enemy attacks back you will be glad that wall bought you enough time to get a few pikes to save a TC and your vills.

No, generally I dont Stone Wall, and it's not really important.

What I meant is to make a blockade with buildings and palidase to prevent early ages rushes.

Stone walls are somewhat good defenses, but Castles are way better, in terms of stone investment

If you're not a mayan or a chinese, you shouldnt bother with Stone Walls to be honest.
And yes, Stone Walls can be a waste if the enemy sends 2 or 3 petards and then a horde of knights pours in.

But buildings blockade is way more important.

>Unless you're playing on a no-rush map
What the fuck are you on about. I'm starting to think you need to re-read the original post or something.

I've played several games now with the new AIs on a few different map types and this is especially true on bigger map sizes. The new AIs, for me, are wasps' nests i.g. big, angry and aggressive but only to things that are within arm's distance of it and are immediate threats. Anything outside of that radius may as well not even exist unless one of their buildings or units gets too close for their comfort.

The most prominent example I had was on a 'rivers' map with 3 allies and 4 opponents on the LudiKRIS map size. My plan was to wall off all the shallows between our side with fortified walls, gate and bombard towers to defend against any attack, but an hour or two later I just quit out because the only things either side had sent into enemy territory were one or two scouts and each was happy to just sit at home doing their own thing. They were basically NEET ais.

Is there a list of checkpoints to hit for a good early game? Like;
2 villagers on wood 3rd builds a house, produce villager
Start hunting with it, produce more until 5 villagers hunting (8 villagers total
Research loom
Produce more villagers for wood and gold
Research feudal age at 16 population

Or whatever, that sort of thing. I used to have a reasonably good idea about this, over 12 years ago. Now I just died like a bitch to the CPU 4x in a row because I can't remember what to do for the best results.

>thier only use is that they blow up buildings very fast, for those moments when you cant be bothered to siege

I use them as frecuent as possible, if the opponent has stone walled, it means he's booming
2 petards (3 in case of Fortified wall, or Byzantine Stone wall; even 4 for a Byzantine Fortified Wall) and rush in Cavalry Archers and Light Cavalry to spread havok in the town

Other strategy is to make a decoy, if the enemy has units actively defending his town, distract his units away from the TC; while both parties are fighting, send 7-8 petards under his TC and detonate them at the same time
Send a raid of Light cavalry, Knights or Cavalry Archers to kill as many vills as possible
High chance of ragequit, too.

Petards also excells at defending a castle, make 2 petards inside the castle; put the gathering point on an enemy battering ram that is attacking your castle.
As soon they pop out from the castle:

BOOM

You will have 1, or multiple rams destroyed

You know, some men, call them soldiers or whatever you want; were prepared to die for their country, religion or culture; giving your life in the battlefield could be seen as a great honor for your nation

Tho in real life people try to minimize unnecesary human casualties, I really think a man would immolate himself, by his own explosives, if that means tear down an enemy fortication; and if that ensures the victory of his nation.

Keep in mind, that a mediaval siege engineer, while heavily armored, would be taking heavy arrow fire, and mostly be mortally wounded by the time he reaches the fortification; too slow to run away from the explosives, will die regarless he survives the explosion or not, by his wounds; and probably the fortification defenders will be already alarmed, that meaning the explosives should be detonated as soon as possible, leaving no time to 'set the bomb and run', plus if the engineer leaves bomb alone, another enemy soldier could arrive and axtinguish the detonating fire; resulting all his struggle in vain.

See the Mongol last mission, listen to the 'Sabouteours' quote.

Tho I admit Saracens team bonus really sucks

Also, most of the best/worst civs are listed for 1vs1 potential
Meaning the most ebin 'Rush or die lelelelele' civs like Mayans, Aztecs and Huns will be all piled on the top

While Turks, Saracens, Koreans, Spanish, etc; one of the best imperial-age civilizations are all piled on the bottom

This is telling me that Britons should use Trebuchets are some sort of long-range anti-personel siege engine; which is really hard since it's not automatic, but when you think about it, killing a bunch of archers in tight formation with a trebuchet stone sounds... really orgasmic.

This gotta be a joke, they have literally nothing other than the gold bonus that makes them better than others / gives them an edge.

Civs like the Japanese are much better because they have that 25% (=33%) faster infantry attacking bonus which is a huge advantage over anything the Turks get.

Yes it is. It's not something you hear often in popular history documentaries in TV because "muh mystical japanese samurai" and the Katana Kultists (aka weaboos). Even after they stole some babby's first steps / basics of swordsmanship from the Nanbans, Samurai's weapon order was still: 1) bow and arrow (preferably on horseback too) 2) naginata/polerarms 3) if all else fails use your katana and hope for the best or just run away. It all just goes back to the lack of quality steel to make real swords to begin with. Even if you have a real quality katana, you can literally shatter it to pieces if you don't swing it properly (="like a fishing rod").

Well, Stereotypical warriors can give people a de-informate a lot

As far I recall, heavy cavalry, such as charging knights, used spears to impale the enemy, rather than using swords

Mamelukes were actually horsemen; and they used spears, scimitars, bow and arrow, and; near the Napoleonic era, used a few guns (1 shot pistols to be exact)

Persians did actually use Elephants, but not that much; Persians did make use of heavy cavalry, and quite a lot; we can say that the Cataphract has Persian/middle eastern originals rather than Roman origins.

And many etcs.

>>2714585
Depends

Keep in mind that projectiles goes directly to the center of the target.
Knowing that a castle is a 4x4 size building, and my guess is that Warwolf gives a maximum of 2x2 size splash damage radius, then no; no unit adjacent to a castle (probably) won't get splashed

But Towers, Outposts and Walls are another story; since they are 1x1 size buildings, they are smaller than the actual splash damage radius of the Briton trebuchet, if an unit happens to be next to any of these buildings while being sieged by a Briton trebuchet, my guess is all of these units will get 'splashed' and 'flattened'

I also happened to cut a forest with British trebuchets a few days ago; and the difference between the forest cut by a Warwolf is very noticiable, compared to a regular trebuchet.

You know what this means, right?
Any good British player can just spam trebuchets, longbowmen and halberdiers and literally snipe you with hundreds of arrows and flying flaming stones
In one shot you can clear whole tight archer formations or take out multiple siege engines with enough trebuchet fire (like Siege Onagers and Bombard Cannons)

I always said that Britons were OP; they said I was mad, but they see now, I'm not mad; they are fucking OP and their trebs are really fucking scary holy shit

Yeah, having the Mamluks on camels and making them throw scimitars is pretty egregious, they should have looked like these bad boys
Fun fact: the mamluks of AoE throw scimitars because the Sarracen UU was supposed to be a scimitar throwing swirling Dervish (on foot). They decided against it (thank God) but they still used the attack for the Mamluk.

The cataphract is actually from Eastern Iranian origins, the romans copied it from the Sarmatians, Alans and other Iranian speaking nomads.

Is there a way to set conquers AI as the default for single player random map games? It keeps defaulting to the new AI and I keep forgetting to change it back before the start and have to abandon to game because the new AI is stupid.

My original experience with AoE II was a pirated beta disk (with full intro and all) and Mamelukes there still used their footslogging Dervish model along with other beta anachronisms. I never questioned it at the time, but in hindsight that was pretty hilarious.

Would make sense considering they all had a really terrible grasp on metallurgy.
A lack of good beasts of burden, and poor metallurgy was probably what doomed all the indians actually, they really were shit out of luck on not having horses, donkeys or oxens, hard to get a strong civilization going without all that added muscle.

Here you have the full uncut intro and ZeroEmpires' review of the alpha build.

The game I had was more complete, but the main menu was similar to the video and most outdated models or AoE I stand-ins were in place (I actually prefer the beta Knight model to the one we had in the full game). It also had a few editor oddities like iron ore mines if I recall correctly.

Anyway I'm pretty sure you can find early builds of AoE 2 on the internet but I don't have a link on my hands, all I have is an old pirated Russian CD.

And saw the a big amount of champions actually fighting back Byzantine Cataphracts

It's kind of scary when you think about it.
The only setback is that the Druzhina upgrade is so fucking expensive

Also, any good Goth could easily dominate a Slav with just mass Hand Cannoners, Bombard Cannons, Halbs, Hussars and Huskarls

So are Incas the objectively shittiest civ in the entire game?

I mean like the Mayans and Aztecs they lack cavalry and gunpowder units, but they don't have huge atk or health techs for their infantry. All they get for unique tech is a measly 10 % speed increase, it's pitiful.

I mean just look at their bonuses:

Start with a free Llama.
Villagers benefit from Blacksmith upgrades.
Buildings cost -15% stone.
Houses support 10 population.
Team Bonus: Farms are built 50% faster.

Just look at that shit. Most civs have atleast one really good bonus, but all these are just average. I mean, with these you have to try a feudal rush or trush because once you get into Castle you're just gonna lag more and more behind.

It's like they tried their damndest to make as shitty of a civ as they could

>Start with a free Llama.
I agree it's shit, but I like it when it takes 30 seconds to find my main sheeps

>Buildings cost -15% stone.
Meh, only useful for Trushing and Castle dropping

>Houses support 10 population.
Saves wood on early game, but it's not a big deal

>Team Bonus: Farms are built 50% faster.
It's fucking shit

Quicker eagle warriors might sound good for raiding and striking down siege; but 10% speed increase is really fucking weak, also the eagles are quite fast enough.

I like the Slinger too, fucking up Goths really hard, the kamayuk is a Meh

Incas should not use eagles heavily, like the Mayans and Aztecs, which sucks, I like to use eagles.

I also think that the Incas have a good synergy with other mesomaerican civs on a team game

>Castle drop an enemy
>Mesoamerican ally masses eagles to attack an enemy
>Enemy gets raided by eagles but answers with infantry
>Slingers stone their stupid faces
>Enemy tries heavy cavalry
>Kamayuks impale their horsey asses
>Enemy tries archers
>>>Massed eagles

Besides that, Incas does no excell in no specific area, unlike the aztecs (infantry and siege) and mayans (archers)

For some reason I'm starting to play as Incas, and actually like them.

It'd be cool to do a 3 v 3 game with one team doing the meso civs and the others doing some colonial civs

I think the Incas would be best as pocket/slinging the others. Also walling, their stone walls would cost 2 stone each with the Mayan team bonus

Incas are far from the worst civ.

The house support 10 population is one of THE best early game bonuses, it's like the Huns but better because you only need to buy two houses in Dark Age but don't start with 0 like the huns. A free lama means that you can use an extra sheep to scout.

And the blacksmith bonus on villagers combined with the cheaper towers is just begging for a Tower rush.

I also find it funny that they're a Meso Civ and simultaneously counter the other Meso Civs with their slingers, most stuff Aztecs or Mayans send towards them will die. The Kamayuks are cool too, they attack over eachother so a big bunch of them will win most melee battles.

And the 10 % Eagle Warrior speed might sound small, but they're as fast as Mangudai, the idea is to run into Siege, kill em and run back to safety behind Slingers.

I kinda went off but I wanna defend Incas a bit since I find them to be really fun, perhaps a bit micro intensive sometimes but still fin.

I can also send a villager early on to fence in relics with palisade walls when they're deep into enemy territory and the AI will never knock down the walls and just try to run monks into it forever.

Meaningless for experienced players, at least.
We all know that garrisoned infantry gives speed and attack bonus to rams
We all know that petards have bonus buildings and other siege
We all know how the Goths play

We all know that, but sometimes his stuff comes handy; for example in the market video.

But his stuff will come usefull for new players, or at least that's my opinion.

ZeroEmpires in the other hand... his analysis are weaker than Spirit's and other youtubers (except when he asks TheViper because 'ITSVIPERD00D'), and when he tries to be funny, he just ends being lame; like his last 'Villager rights' video.

Seriously, is really hard to be truly 'funny' in such old mediaval-themed RTS games, such AoEII

They did have the Atlatl, which would have been cool as a UU. It would kinda be a skirmisher on steroids, these fuckers were feared by the spanish since the spears easily tore trough spanish armor

It would be cool to have a meso civ with these as a UU and have the best trash ranged unit, similar to the Magyar Huszars

>>2734731
Plummies are cheap and somewhat strong, but they lack of the strong punch Conquistadors do, in terms of harassment
Defending against Conquistadors, they are not that great, proving they have 2/2 armor, they are faster, high damage and decently fast; you need to outnumber the conqs with your plummies

Mamelukes can't raid that easily, specially with defensive buildings around; and they are too costly against any foot trash unit (Pikeline and Skirmishers), the usual defender unit against raids
Mamelukes are slower than conquistadors, and 5 conquistadors can 1 hit a castle age mameluke, and that's 85 gold instantly wasted; it's not cost effective

I like both Plummed archer and Mameluke
The Mameluke makes a great defender unit, and the Plummies makes a great attacking/raiding unit; only beaten by the Hussar/Paladin/Eagle Warrior

The conquistadors are not that great in Imperial Age, but getting harassed by castle age conquistadors it's a pain in the ass to deal with

They're probably lower middle class if you're actually talking average.

Even if we go 'working class' [discarding the average], in most developed countries working class people tend more towards obesity because unhealthy food is generally cheaper to buy in bulk, so all she has to do is walk at medium speed until not so average joe dies of a heart attack.

You don't have to be, obesity rates in the UK are similar and the general trend of poorer people being fatter is reflected across the first world.

Don't say average if you don't mean average: You want world average? Weakling with poor health. You want first world working class? Weakling unless falling from a great height. You want first world average? As above, or skinny weakling.

At this stage you'd be as well just pointing out that Bubba the big trucked fuck has a .22 rifle that he uses to shoot bucks which he'd use to blast the brains of that nordic fuck all over his 18 wheeler big rig truck, proving that even a viking can't rely only on luck.
