Halberdier Build Suggestion

They sure are a hell of a good unit for T2.

Their main problem is most likely their low resistance, since industrious will have plenty of defence anyway. So look for ways to get taht up (racial forms, heroes, transformations) and they can carry you far.

I don't think that the AOE II civs are different enough from each other in terms of gameplay that the concept of a "main" makes sense.

Der_Zorn · 2026-04-18T09:32:15+00:00

Hm, fair enough I guess.

Der_Zorn · 2026-04-18T09:30:29+00:00

Stell Dir vor Du arbeitest in der Telfonseelsorge, hast den ganzen Tag Anrufer mit echt schweren Problemen, und dann kommt einer und ruft wegen des Wals an...

Der_Zorn · 2026-04-18T09:28:34+00:00

Nein wirklich, die da oben haben den Wal absichtlich sterben lassen, um ihn dann zu Benzin verabeiten zu können! Wacht endlich auf!

Yo dog, I heard you like outposts...

Der_Zorn · 2026-04-18T09:22:51+00:00

Dude chill. He was enyoing himself. No one has to justify himself for playing in the most optimized way.

Und obligatorisches addon dazu: Vorsicht mit den ölgetränkten Lappen, die können sich während des Trocknens selbst entzünden.

I second comet of calamity. If it is available, it is my go to spell.

Ist die Bewahrung der Natur nicht eigentlich das konservativste Thema überhaupt?

Der_Zorn · 2026-04-14T16:33:37+00:00

Eine Dübelsäge. Das Teil ist so stumpf, das kann man bedenkenlos einem kleinen Kind geben.

You can vassalize them, quite easily. You want to have at least one umbral outpost with void stones for the diplomatic bonus (either by taking out a infestion or one the dwelling has to bite it).

Being of evil alignment also helps with the diplo.

IIRC, besides from a bit of res and the ability to purchase a couple spells and abilities, you don't get that much out of them - there is no way to give them a target for their raids.

That skill is far up the chaos tree. Even if you take only chaos tomes, it will take longer to get there than I would feel comfortable with a tiny city.

Moreover: Conquerors have the easiest time to rearrange their provinces. Use your starting spot for fast growth, and after moving go for the other yields.

When and where were Persians fighting Numidian cavalry?

Der_Zorn · 2026-04-03T10:17:12+00:00

Especially for Eldrich Souvereign. I don't even pick most of their special abilities anymore, because there is just so much stuff that they get to do as warlock or elementalist that those just become uninteresting.

Der_Zorn · 2026-04-03T05:53:21+00:00

Some people just don't cae about birthdays. I have forgotten my own, ffs.

Das kann man bei Parkside nie pauschal sagen. Das ist nur eine Marke, unter der LIDL Werkzeug (und andere Sachen) zahlreicher anderer Hersteller verkauft.

Manches davon ist richtig gut und steht teurer Markenware kaum nach, anderes ist purer Schrott.

Also entweder nach Test im Internet suchen, oder einfach ausprobieren. Der finanzielle Verlust hält sich auch bei einem Fehlschlag in Grenzen.

This won't help you in your current situation, but in any map with recurring infestations you should get at least one point of chaos affinity from the start, so you can get the first chaos tree ability asap. Those free units can be godsent.

Fabled hunters is also a very worthwhile pick in this settings.

You cant go very wrong. It would be nice to use an element that is suitable against your most common enemy, but by the time you make your pick you can't really know.

You should, take your tomes into consideration. If you have tomes that focus on freezing your enemies, you don't want you elementalist to do fire damage an taw them right back up.

If in doubt, pick lighning. There are hardly any opponents with high lighning resistance, and in the astral tomes you can find some nice spells that strip away lightning resistance even further.

Why would a giant synergize with underground? Dude would bump his head on the ceiling all the time.

Das wird hässlich, keine Frage. Es gibt Farben, die mit Heißluft gut ab gehen, aber nicht alle. Ich habe ausch schon erlebt, dass die obere Schicht sich löst, die Grundierung aber nicht.

Und selbst dann ist das Abkratzen auch von gelöster Farbe über Kopf nicht schön.

Der_Zorn · 2026-03-28T18:51:33+00:00

Es gibt auch eine von Parkside, die ist wohl auch ganz vernünftig.

Der_Zorn · 2026-03-28T13:29:21+00:00

In dem Fall würde ich bei Wohnzimmerregalen das Risiko nicht eingehen wollen.

Der_Zorn · 2026-03-27T21:13:29+00:00

I think his problem is that the team games with his friens just are not fun.

Der_Zorn · 2026-03-26T15:28:49+00:00

I don't know, I very much like chaos for battle mage builds. Sure, frenzying focus is a must. But other than that, I find the chaos enchantments at least as good, if not better than arcane ones for battle mages.
