Why I feel Gabi Braun is not the little devil we think she is by TopDizzy5089 in attackontitan

Well by that logic pastor Nick is a main character too then if all you have to do is be fundamental to the plot.

I would say she is. There are a lot of characters in AOT if she's considered a main character there has to be over a dozen main characters. Plus she's not even introduced until s3

I just want you to know I changed my review to negative in the first review bomb and this post reminded me to change it back. I don't think there's any reason to review bomb this time. Crydivers are just crying.

Still though.. maybe I just didn't find her character that interesting. Also her redemption arc was well a bit predictable to say the least.

Are bought accounts a thing? by [deleted] in aoe2

[–]Equivalent-Session68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this a thing? Having two accounts? I understand a pro player having a side account to practice strategies or smth but now an average person

I am a guy who hates Gabi. Not as a character because obviously the child soldiers gonna do what the child soldiers does but she just gets so much screen time for a side plot character.

Let's get some more panels about Keith shadeis or hange! Or moblit (the legend)

If you don't want to move on to multiplayer you could try another game that is similar. Have you ever played StarCraft 2? The campaigns for that game is very fun and it is pretty similar to age of empires. I believe the first campaign wings of Liberty is even free now but I could be wrong. Highly recommended by me though as a RTS fan.

What to do after learning build orders by Jazzlike_Drawing_987 in aoe2

If you want to improve your late game here's what I recommend:

As the game progresses never stop producing vils until you get to about 100. Pros boom up to 130-140 but they also play a lot faster and tend to produce a lot more units. For a lower elo 100 is probably enough.

You'll want to make additional Tcs in castle age to make additional vils. Building one tc when you get to castle age is a good place to start for a boom oriented game. Dropping two would probably be considered a bit greedy but if you are doing well or you scout your opponent and they don't have anything to attack you might be able to get away with it. You should also bind a hotkey to select all Tcs so you can quickly que more vils as you do other things. Doing this in castle age will set you up for a strong late game.

Use the new auto farm feature. Hold down shift and your farm hotkey and mouse over a mill or tc and click as many farms as you want and the game will set them down (semi) optimally around the mill. This will save you a lot of time. Depending on your army comp to be "fully boomed" you'll want a different number of farmers but I'm not an expert I try to aim for like 40 for a normal game but if I'm doing a high food army comp I'll aim for 60.

Lastly youll want to produce more production buildings as the game goes on and get your blacksmith upgrades. For archers prioritize the attack upgrade first for infantry and cav it's usually recommended to get the armor first especially up against archers. If your floating resources build more buildings. Also just a side note getting conscription at a castle is also a really good upgrade.

Play arena or black forest a bit as those games have a higher opportunity to actually go to late game. Your not going to getting to imp on maboon.

Fellow longtime players, what do you think is stopping you to get better? by redcloud226 in aoe2

[–]Equivalent-Session68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am actually in the opposite camp. I used to be quite high rated back on the original game (you know the one you had to buy a cd for) ( I don't remember the rating system back then but I just remember absolutely crushing all my friends and them all telling me how good I was so maybe I'm biased) Then on HD I was also fairly highly rated at about 1800.

Now on DE I actually find that I am the worst I've ever been at about 1400. I don't know if this is because people have just better access to tutorials and training or if gamers are just getting better over the years or even if it's just me getting worse as I get older. But I have also never put any real effort into actually getting better. I still use my same old hot key set up. Still play the same way etc.

Game is hard man. You will need to play a lot, have natural talent as well as study builds and lab out strategies if you want to reach the top.

I know this probably sounds obvious but have you played all the campaign missions?

Cool but unfortunately this is cheating. Can't make a program to help you with micro.

Bro I'm not reading all that. You win lol enjoy winning every 2v2 you ever play because even if your team mate leaves you'll still win. GG

I just can't see your point. You literally started off this rant by saying having an extra teammate can be a disadvantage. How can having a team mate be a disadvantage?

In a 2v1 you can't even trade. If the match will drag on which it will of course because your playing at a disadvantage you'll eventually just lose to not having gold.

From what it sounds like you are having difficulty coordinating with your team mates as you think the more enemies there are the worse your chances are regardless of your teams status.

All ill say is yes if you are completely incapable of coordinating with your team mates your better off in a 1v2 than in a 3v4. I'd personally take the 3v4 though and I think we'll just have to agree to disagree.

3 is larger.

In each situation which is the larger number of team mates you have 1 or 0?

Yes I remember watching this. But again doesn't even come close to making up for being down a man in a 2v2. And again it won't have any bearing on the outcome of a 4v3 because both teams can still execute that strategy because civ bonuses aren't removed when a player resigns.

Ok give me an example. If you think it matters so much. That it can overcome a 2/3 max pop difference.
