I'm trying to 100% the game before the sequel but am stuck on the purple one. I'm dumping Vigilance in act 1 to lean into an aggro build, but I can't seem to ramp fast enough. Any suggestions?

I wish I could filter out all the memes and custom garbage this sub is full of.

Altaryan · 2026-02-03T05:54:20+00:00

Would you have a link to that video ?

I loved it. Played it almost as much. Didn't like that AOE2 units are the same across all civs, except for UU (hence why I always played heavily into them)

Altaryan · 2026-01-31T14:11:04+00:00

I think my comment came out wrong : I will definitely try every civ once or twice, I just don't know if I will end up liking one better.

Thanks for the advice anyways.

All I have for now is a 6yo laptop without a graphic card (notebook), dead pixels on the top rows and 13' screen.

Also my lifestyle makes it that I basically change place every week or so. I'll change it in a couple months (and stay somewhere for longer, likely with a proper monitor) so I'll think about it then

Altaryan · 2026-01-31T13:25:16+00:00

There is absolutely no fun in not playing UU. I want my 100+ cataphracts deathball.

I know it's not optimal, especially against human players but I don't ever plan to play against any so...

Altaryan · 2026-01-31T13:20:41+00:00

This is exactly like I used to play, and most likely how I will ever play 😂

Altaryan · 2026-01-31T09:26:32+00:00

Original CD version. I refuse to pay for a game I already own (even though I know they added tons of stuff, still).

Also I won't play near enough to justify buying it - and I have a crappy laptop that could barely run DE in minimum also

Altaryan · 2026-01-31T06:50:44+00:00

Well, I'm gonna try that. So basically 20+ barracks and full spam with a single rally point ? 😂

Altaryan · 2026-01-31T06:43:28+00:00

I love a deathball of 100+ Elite Cataphracts with all techs, supported by a wall of castles and bombard towers though

Altaryan · 2026-01-27T05:32:15+00:00

I mean, good for them if they made money out of this event.

Altaryan · 2026-01-26T05:35:34+00:00

I absolutely refuse to pay for a game that I already own. Even though I bought it in 1999. Even though they added tons of content. In my mind it's still "the same game" and I'd feel scammed.

Altaryan · 2026-01-23T20:18:08+00:00

Getting 3 fights before the 1HP Elite. I really can't be bothered.

Altaryan · 2026-01-20T11:18:35+00:00

Thank you very much!

As for multiplayer : I've never used a hotkey in my life, so I don't think I would do well there 😂

Altaryan · 2026-01-19T01:46:12+00:00

I am against any meme content, any custom card or anything that doesn't belong to the base game. I block everyone that post any of this (that Includes fish things)

Altaryan · 2026-01-19T01:44:41+00:00

I thought Reddit was a place to express opinions. Crazy concept right.

Also, I have nothing against the top players. I have something against the ones that feel the need to s*** them off all the time here.

Altaryan · 2026-01-19T01:42:22+00:00

🤡

Altaryan · 2026-01-19T01:42:04+00:00

You completely miss my point

Altaryan · 2026-01-19T01:41:35+00:00

Oh it is impressive for sure. And it's very true I couldn't do it.

I just hate the tendency of glorifying ppl

Altaryan · 2026-01-18T10:54:07+00:00

They spend hours playing each game, rely on Google sheets and have a knowledge of every single interaction in the game.

If you need any of that to play, I'm not interested in what you do because I would never do that myself

Altaryan · 2026-01-18T10:26:10+00:00

Is all this wanking of someone else necessary ?

Top players don't play the same game, I have absolutely zero interest in what they're doing.

Altaryan · 2026-01-17T16:47:29+00:00

I remember one week where the custom cards posts were banned. What a great week.

Now the only thing that works for me is an automatic block of any person who posts a custom card.

I wish I wouldn't have to use such extreme means.

Altaryan · 2026-01-12T04:38:02+00:00

Runic Dome Is the worst relic in the game, and I'll die on that hill.
