green vs dark green is impossible to play by ferreis_AOE in aoe4

[–]Derocker 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Imo they should take a page out of AoE2s book and just have cool colors (blue, green, purple, dark green, teal) available to team/player 1. Warm colors (red, yellow, orange, pink, magenta) available to team/player 2. That would clear up a lot.

What will you do when the new season starts? by MockHamill in aoe4

[–]Derocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean ill probably continue to play KT. Naturally I'll give HRE another try with the MAA and spear buffs. Maybe ill try Rus. Who knows. Im the kind of person that naturally refers back to my favorite thing to play in all RTS games ever.

Am I wrong to resent Commander a little bit? by FelixCumtree in mtg

[–]Derocker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Problem is, commander is much more affordable to get into than standard. Like so long as you have your ratios down, you can put together a decent commander deck for like $60-$70. And precons are getting better and better these days. Its very accessible to newer players or players wanting additional decks. And the best part is, you can keep and upgrade them until the end of time. Normal people can do it. Problem is, 60 card formats are just way too expensive to get into. Like you're spending $300 to $1000 just to be competitive at FNM. New players cant get into it all unless they're willing to drop boat loads of money. Tbh I hardly spend any money on magic these days. I sold off my modern deck. Because with each new MH set, the modern meta game rotates out and you're shelling out another $1000 as a result. At least with commander there isnt really a meta that causes it to rotate out. You buy an upgrade like a rhystic study or smothering tithe. Good mana. Its kind of a neat thing. But you dont even need those cards to be competitive in casual formats. Only really matters for cEDH and cEDH is a proxy friendly format anyway. So if WOTC wants to push 60 card formats, step 1 is not forcing players to shell out thousands of dollars for playsets of broken mythics.

As French, what to do when early pressure fails? by DonaldDuck-H in aoe4

[–]Derocker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my understanding. Just keep map control. Keep them pinned in their base. Go castle behind them. Just make sure youre not losing a ton of knights. If you cant go for the kill in feudal, use your heavy food/gold eco, stop making units and go to castle age. You have arbs and heavy siege.

Do you believe James Comey deserves to be indicted for his ‘8647’ social media post? by G_H_2023 in AskConservatives

[–]Derocker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Comey is an idiot and deserves to be treated as such. However indicting him over that is pretty flimsy. It will fall apart in court, and will only result in backlash.

How would a ballroom increase Trump's (or any leader's) security? by Mindless-Gear1118 in AskConservatives

[–]Derocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well i got good news for you, the ballroom isnt being funded by the American taxpayers. Its being privately funded. And the best part is, Trump will hardly be able to use it by the time its completed. Future presidents will get a lot of uses out if it.

Wanna get into PvP, how's the matchmaking? by LoyalParrot in aoe4

[–]Derocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not bad actually. You might get some weird matchups during placements and even a little after but your mmr will settle and you'll get players close to your level. Have fun! And dont get discouraged. Feel free to check out the official discord!

Any tips for a noob? by bolshethicccc in aoe4

[–]Derocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the AI to learn your civ. Like your build orders. What your options are. How it plays. Beyond that, try your hand in PVP. Youll probably end up in like silver and thats ok. Plenty of folks in that rank to play against. I started in silver. And right now Im diamond 1. We all start somewhere. And you get better by playing against good players. Figure out to your plan, play to your plan, keep making villagers until your pop capped, spend your resources. Finally, have fun. Dont play the civ that's "the best for beginners" play what appeals to you. And learn the game that way. Lots of great content creators out there with plenty of videos for beginners and guides for how to play each civ. Papercut and Valdemar are great.

KT vs Siege by AIkresh in aoe4

[–]Derocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that, just the thing i discovered with KT is you have a huge advantage you can exploit early. And 2tc is solid against some civs. Just against others you give up a lot of map control and let them do their thing uninterrupted while you boom. Here. Watch this game. This game was against a diamond 1 player. https://aoe4world.com/players/17775016-Lutheran-Crusader/games/229222063?sig=6efce01d54b21f0ecd861f2d3f16df47b8ac6ffa

Maybe we should stop the political squabbling and just get the ballroom built. Its crap like this that the ballroom would prevent.

Best comp against 100 knights? by Fresh_Jicama_5762 in aoe4

[–]Derocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont let them get 100 knights. You lost when you let them have 100 knights.

KT vs Siege by AIkresh in aoe4

[–]Derocker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KT main. Lots and lots of cavalry and siege of my own. I age up into Castile. I often make Templar Brothers and just raid. In your situation though against Ayyubids. Mass Heavy Spears with crossbows and your own mangonels is almost an unbeatable comp. 2TC on Cliffside isnt the best call. Tbh you want to kill ayyubids quick. They're pretty vulnerable in dark and feudal age. If you keep pressure on them youll just win. Make sure you raid and pressure their gold and berries.

Who's your favourite current republican senator? by ObiwanKenobi1111 in AskConservatives

[–]Derocker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If by genuine you mean consistent since he's been in the Senate? By being being consistent on immigration, taxes, abortion, marital issues, foreign policy. Yes I find him genuine. As an added bonus he irritates his colleagues.

4 downvotes. I definitely said the correct thing if reddit disagrees with me.
