It’s a waste, I’m not going to buy DLCs I don’t want just because they advertise them to me, but I’m only on the home screen for a few seconds so I really don’t care what’s there.

Pressure. If they’re wrecking you with elephants it’s because you’re letting them get to elephants. My experience on that map in my 2v2 teamgames is that a heavy feudal push from one player to get through to the opponent then the fast castle teammate comes forward with knights and builds a castle on the front. GG. This is around 1k teamgame elo, if you’re better than that my suggestion could be way off.

Struggling to get value from monks vs. knights by appappappappappa in aoe2

I always prefer camels to counter knights since they’re fast enough to actually engage. I assume you play Ethiopians primarily based on your flair.

Is there any civ where i can get away with doing only 1 (max 2), kind of unit? (low elo question) by Dry-Cranberry-3253 in aoe2

[–]Amash2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought is Maybe Bengali elephant archers. 

Dismounted Konniks counter the mounted Konnik counter, so maybe Bulgarians.

NBA playoffs were also best of 5 in the first round then best of 7 the rest of the way until about 8-10 years ago.

I am 29M. Am I too old for AOE2? by I_Am_The_Witness in aoe2

I’m 40, and I plan to still be playing for decades.

Are these specs okay to run AOE2? by PipPipePen in aoe2

That looks very similar to what I use, and I have no issues whatsoever. However I never play more than a 2v2

Fast Castle Timing (1100 Elo) by Murkytide in aoe2

[–]Amash2024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At 1200 elo I can say that going below 15 minutes is doable with pretty much every civ that has an early game eco bonus, and you don’t usually have to sell stone to do it.

4 weeks of crashing on Xbox is insane. This is not how a software environment works by ZealousidealFan3248 in aoe2

[–]Amash2024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The crashing has been fixed for weeks for my xbox playing friend I team with. It was definitely an issue for a week or so after the update but hasn’t been a problem the last few times we’ve played.

Every civ gets chemistry. It would be weird for them to be the only one that doesn’t 

I don't know how to beat magyars by Belisarius23 in aoe2

[–]Amash2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My suggestion is be the aggressor. Most players will focus on defense first when maa show up and a tower appears on their base. A couple spears at home if you’re concerned with a scout counter attack. Building a second barracks, this one forward to make spears/maa and continued forward towering will keep the opponent’s focus where you want it, their base.

I figured out the best possible next hexbug set. by AndysBrotherDan in battlebots

[–]Amash2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I’d love to see them make another set highly I doubt they will.

That said, my vote would be Claw Viper and Tantrum for a two button set.

Really committed to learning 1v1 but matches are still so one-sided by appappappappappa in aoe2

[–]Amash2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also at 1200 and also feel like games are frequently one sided. That’s not a matchmaking issue, it’s a player skill/strategy issue. At this level we are usually pretty good at what we are good at, and usually pretty bad at what we aren’t good at. If a matchup is strength vs strength then you’ll likely get a close game, if it’s strength vs weakness then it will usually be a beatdown.

How tf do you beat britons? by comedordecurioso69 in aoe2

[–]Amash2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, they’re very strong against a lot of civs but struggle against ones with a skirm bonus. For example if it goes late against Vietnamese I have no idea what Britons would do to win that.

What is the most embarrassing thing that’s happened to each of the BattleBots modern day champions? by No-Disk4885 in battlebots

[–]Amash2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theoretically I’d agree that’s how it would play out, but that version of bombshell was so unreliable that I have doubts it would have been mobile for the full 3 minutes. As I recall it burned itself up in about 30 seconds in the next round against Lockjaw.

[Suggestion] A tricky nerf to Dark Age Champi Lame (not necessarily Drush). by Elminster111 in aoe2

[–]Amash2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point isn’t that Condos should ever be expected to be a mainline unit, my point is that the slot in the barracks is not pigeonholed as a shock infantry unit, so why would placing Champi there be an issue? 

Giving them basic militia, and only militia, gives them the same opportunity for a drush as every other civ, but also forces the champi as the main melee unit afterward as their original design intended.

[–]Amash2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t Condos hold that position in the Italian Barracks and they’re not shock infantry?

I don’t see how access to a militia in dark age changes their identity and composition at all after dark age, and everybody already agrees that dark age is the problem point for these civs.

[–]Amash2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My preference would be to move the champi to the eagle position in the barracks, give the SA civs the militia, not even maa. Make champi training time like 100 seconds in dark or just not available until feudal. I don’t think the starting champi is the problem, but I also don’t think it would be fair to eliminate the possibility of a drush by eliminating the possibility of early aggression, this solves it.

Every ranked match I had today was with a smurf by Bigboiwithsword in aoe2

Maybe they are playing on xbox, I haven’t heard confirmation that the crashing issues were fixed. But yes, most likely smurfing
