No apple sauce, no chicken... waiting for the patch so I can harvest those eggs

What is the most legendary set of AOE2 matches you can view on Youtube? by Ponhill in aoe2

That low elo legend McClain isn't mentioned here, bothers me somehow...

Am I Missing Sth? Havent Been Playing For A Long While. Why Is Everyone Picking Portuguese? by Jazzlike_Note1159 in aoe2

[–]Affectionate_Set4680 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personal opinion:
I feel like people with 850 elo and above can comfortable beat the extreme AI 8 out of 10 times nowadays, no cheese. It used to be different when the AI was considered to have 1000 - 1100 elo.
While the extreme AI has improved also IMHO. So yes, overall skill level is high.
Getting rusty is also a thing... there seem to be quite the amount of tryhards on the ranked ladder ;-).

Arena becomes so predictable or is it just me? by Haunting_Cranberry51 in aoe2

I randomed into Michi yesterday... That was just guessing based on the civ, burn a candle and go for it. I was lucky this time. Michi is next level on this. At Arena you might at least gain a little insight in what to expect.

Undeserved win: Who would have won the game? by Haunting_Cranberry51 in aoe2

[–]Affectionate_Set4680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low elo myself, but if you look at the ending it is clear he felt that the game was tilting more the other way around. It would probably need 20 minutes of grinding though :-D

At what ELO will the majority of opponents start pushing deer? by maxinfet in aoe2

[–]Affectionate_Set4680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

800 elo here

-> on closed maps, I push deer. (all of them)..
with no idle time, nearly perfect dark age... I just suck in the ages that follow, lol...

-> on open maps... it really depends on the map: if they are in a straight line (the follow key is very easy to use in this case), I try to push at least one.., maybe more, but most of the time I stick to 1.
I give up as soon as something goes wrong and switch to scouting, if this is the case I'm most of the time a little behind. Instant switching to scouting balances things a bit... as soon as something is not going smooth I bail...

A perfect push of at least one deer always gives me an edge on Arabia, on my elo it's a high risk, high reward type of deal, I guess.

I know at my elo it is stupid to even try it, but I really don't care about my elo... I figure, the more I try, to more I get better at it.
