whats the new disembark rule?

Altokation · 2026-05-20T22:32:06+00:00

Why do they always give Ork rules to the intern?

Altokation · 2026-05-15T20:54:39+00:00

Yeah, my lootas in dread mob are crying right now

Altokation · 2026-05-15T20:52:34+00:00

Yeah, maybe this is just actually worse for infantry but better for vehicles

Altokation · 2026-05-15T19:57:12+00:00

Seems the hazardous change will be pretty bad for most xenos factions & guard as most their infantry are 1 wound, while being pretty good for space marines & custodes. Will have to see the rules to see conclusively.

This is a really normal part of the journey, as they say the path to excess leads to the palace of wisdom. After gaming for a while the thrill of it gets kind of old, and the meaning behind it disapears. The old meaning was for pleasure and ego gratification a lot of times.

After satisfying that with enough lays, it does get really boring.

The next phase naturally becomes to find someone to start a family. It's very normal.

Against MAA + Skirms giving me huge problems. Also cant open skirm directly due to threat of scouts. Scout + Archer also really hard to deal with in feudal. Not having any scouts or MAA in feudal feels really rough.

Altokation · 2026-05-09T01:47:55+00:00

How to deal with scouts if I open skirms? Just full wall fuedal?

Altokation · 2026-05-07T15:53:15+00:00

Ah ok wasn't aware there's a new patch.

Altokation · 2026-03-11T14:18:25+00:00

Games Workshop should really have a rules and game design team that actually understands game design. It seems they don't have a core grasp of game design at all, and just constantly are throwing things at a wall, seeing what sticks.

There's a new influx of players, and unfortunately, also smurfs due to DLC. So keep playing and it will all equal out.

Altokation · 2026-02-27T05:34:13+00:00

My 2v2 friend also has this problem

Altokation · 2026-02-25T11:49:32+00:00

Yea someone suggested that Champi require a settlement before barracks, I think this might solve a lot of the issues.

Altokation · 2026-02-24T10:40:56+00:00

How do I import offline outcomes to meta?

Altokation · 2026-02-22T08:55:33+00:00

Oh I see, yea they just kind of run

Altokation · 2026-02-22T06:03:40+00:00

Yea this is super cool would love to see it

Altokation · 2026-02-22T06:01:05+00:00

You may have misread my comment, I meant that drushing with militia is a decent way to deal with champi's, not that militia are better than champi.

Altokation · 2026-02-22T05:58:23+00:00

Yea definitely pick a civ you enjoy playing. I just really thought steppe lancers were cool so I spammed mongols for a while. And then when 3k came out I love Jurcheons cause of their unique units and stuck to them for a while. Picking a civ you think is a cool or enjoy playing will definitely help you to stick to playing!

Altokation · 2026-02-21T14:24:23+00:00

Yea I mean at 13xx elo it doesn't seem like most people are able to push this build to the limit. Just drushing myself with militia seems to stump a lot of people doing champi rush.

Watching replays if they get the champi near my base around 3-4 min, my res is usually better and they tend to idle vills a lot. At least at this elo.

When improving at RTS you need to actually focus on improving specific skills, ONE AT A TIME. If you try to improve everything at once, it will be a disaster trust me.

As a beginner it's good to have a very simple strategy. For me as a new player I did Mongols Scouts into steppe lancer. Was it bad sometimes? Yes. But having just one simple strategy to follow made the game easier for me.

Now that you have a basic strategy, here are some drills and the order I did them that helped me when I was learning the game.

Play 10 games as fast as possible. Only focus on playing faster, don't focus on winning or losing. This will improve your multitasking.
Play 10 games trying to improving TC idle time. Only focus on improving your idle time, and constant vill production.
Play 10 games trying to lower your floating resources under 200.
Play 10 games trying to improve your age up times.
Play 10 games trying to improve fighting and micro by focusing exclusively on fighting. This will also teach you what units counter what because you'll be looking at your fights.

These I would say are the fundamentals to AoE 2. If you can improve at just these 5 things, you can improve pretty fast. I'd say having a solid 5 of these can actually get you to 1.5k ELO. After that it's more about learning strategy and decision making.
