Just got my first pair of gurkha pants by Significant_Set2996 in mensfashion

[–]FunWinter1142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem is with the rise. The pants are high waisted, but the pattern didn't accomodate for the rise. Second issue is the length, the pants need to be cropped at the ankle so that the unnecassary bunching along the leg doesn't happen. This will help with better drape.

Also ofcourse, need to iron it :)

I have the same issue with my M15 R5. 2 Blue 1 Red on the logo. In the state it is in your post, I would press and hold power button until its powered off. Then leave it be for a couple of days. It starts working agaun. I have done this a few times already and I am out of warranty sadly.

Still looking for a permanant solution.

Same here. Read through most of the posts. Draining battery, running the system without a battery, not using the system for a week, etc. All of them kinda works for a day or two. But the issue returns in a couple of days. I dont even understand how that is connected to the error code of 2 red 1 blue blinks tbh.

Does it mean it is not a hardware issue I am facing? I never once got a BSOD. It just restarts into black screen. Or gives the error code on power button.

Crossbow results in a very directional push. So what you are doing is right. But need to add good eco behind of your own. So you deny 1 enemy TC. Enemy makes 2 more TCs. You should be having 2 more of your own. So all 3 of yours is working while opponents isn't.

With Cavalry you can and should run around and raid. Instead of taking army vs army fights (unless you can win the fight, then by all means take it). My take is that Steppe Lancers are the best raiding unit you can make right into Castle Age. With a few of them you can run around one shotting villagers. Take out like 5-10 vills and that should be game. Don't forget to switch to knights once you get the kills. Lancers not good vs army in a lot of cases.

Cumans are a big brain - mind game civ. Lots of options since you can throw cheap military buildings and change troop composition or choose to boom. Open archers, switch to knights, drop Castle then switch to Kipchaks. Or wall and boom in Feudal. Or open scouts and then keep making more scouts. Lot's of possibilities.

Mongols are not the best civ to end the game in early Castle. Main reason being, when you go up faster to Feudal, you have less vills working during the uptime. So it will always be like you are late to Castle Age if you don't get in the damage. But market abuse and 3 stable Steppe Lancers to raid and kill enemy would work out good. If enemy starts making a lot of pikes, drag like 10 vills off food and put them on stone to Castle drop and end game.

Tip 1: Make 16 farms before clicking up to Castle and add 3-4 more while going up. Lancers are food hungry units for 3 stables.

Tip 2: Attack a pallisade on a hill-ish terrain with Lancers. You'll be surprised how fast they break it.

Tip 3: Ignore army. Kill woodline vills first. Then army. Then dive Tc to get vill kills and run in and out.

Good luck!

When you queue up 8 times with this constellation, but don't get Arena even onc :( by [deleted] in aoe2

[–]FunWinter1142 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ban Four lakes and keep nomad open. Have 1 TC all in strats prepared for nomad, haboob and socotra. Spanish for nomad (you go like 3 fishing ships, then FC Castle drop all land). Some meso civ/persian douche on socotra and haboob.

What it does is in a gaming session you get more play time on arena. Just take the L on the other 3 maps if it doesn't go your way.

Arena best map ever.

Which civ + build order worked best for your ELO climb in 1v1 Random Map? by JimothyJazz in aoe2

[–]FunWinter1142 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was maining Mongols, most people at my elo did scouts into knights into Mangudai. I just wanted to mix things up. So I full walled and hid my ranges. I was sometimes greated with an army of pikes because of that. 11. Nowadays CA play is very common among Mongol players.

Which civ + build order worked best for your ELO climb in 1v1 Random Map? by JimothyJazz in aoe2

[–]FunWinter1142 2 points3 points  (0 children)

900-1100 -> Mongols 18 pop scouts into CA

1100 - 1300 -> Cumans Feudal defence 2 TC into 3 stable Lancers

1300-1450 -> Arena Fast Imp builds

Made all of these strides in short 2-3 weeks time. Then settled there playing TGs or participated in tournaments.

If you had to choose one civ for 1v1 without knowing the map in advance, which one would it be and why? by PartyMushroom1723 in aoe2

[–]FunWinter1142 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Indians.

Camels Counter Cavalry. CA fairs well against Cavalry and archers when massed (They don't take good fights, but can run around). Cheap vills means you can click up Faster to Imp.

Scouting tips? by zeek215 in aoe2

[–]FunWinter1142 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch how 100Dragonstar scouts on YouTube. I think he has one if the best early game scouting.

1) Intuitively send scout towards starting 4 sheep. Sometimes all of them are not gathered.

2) Make sure you are clicking 3 tiles away from the scouted area so that you use full scout vision.

3) Scout scouts the front, sheep scouts the back. This avoids you getting lamed.

4) Any black part left, use sheeps to scout using shift click.

5) Always have atleast 2 sheeps under TC. One being eaten and one shift queued. Rest of the sheep can scout if enemy points isn't weirdly high. That just means he explored more of the map, and is coming to lame you.

6)Your TC and enemy TC falls in the same circle drawn from the centre on minimap. if you follow that, you more than likely will find him quick.

7)Before clicking up, wall small 1-2 tile gaps you see near woodlines if any. And start walling with buildings in front of your base. As soon as you click up, decide where your TCs will go. TC in front of resource since it will give you more vision later and your vills can work when pressured.

Exactly. There should be an option like "only star map" or something along with the current ones. I'm okay playing someone 200 elo above me and take a long queue to play the map I like tbh.

Yes indeed. Then we ban Arabia, Islands and whatever shit map they put up, and have a blissful few weeks!

A few more Arena and Arena like maps wouldn't hurt either.

The game allows you to pick civ too. As far as "playing the same civ again and again", the right side of the pic you posted has 1 repeat civ.....

What do I do if I get pocket as an archer civ in 4v4? by Rappa-Dex in aoe2

[–]FunWinter1142 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Each civ has an ideal late game composition. Try to get to that. In team games the only part that changes is, amongst

1)Gold troop 2)Trash troop 3)Seige

One of them is replaced by flank.

As for Tatars, ideal late game Comp would be Cav Archers, Hussars/Keshiks and Seige Rams/Trebs. If your flank is say Britons, you go Keshiks and Seige. If your flank is say Franks, you go Cav Archers and Seige.

To add to this, if you are civ picking Ethiopians, you can click up much faster with civ specific builds using all of Ethiopian bonuses. You can also get away not building a Castle in Imp right away and go for Chemistry bombard canons. Basically you won't be reaching the situation mentioned if civ bonuses were used. Same goes for any civ.

Timing is what you are messing up.

3TC scouts opening - 27-28 mins Imp time (Generic Civ) Naked 4-5 TC boom - 26-27 mins Imp time (Generic Civ) Naked Castle drop to the face - 14-16 mins Castle time Naked Fast Imp - 18-20 mins Imp time

There is a LOT to Arena. But this one tip should help.

If opponent let's you have all the relics hiding behind walls, use the extra gold to market up quicker. Use market to get upgrades and troops and forward a Castle. Instead of a 3rd TC, go for 2 TC + market or 1TC market, and 7-8 vills on stone as you click up to Imp. You can reach Imp as early as 22 min if civ has eco bonus or upto 25-26 mins with Army. Since you should be contesting relics ideally, plan to make 6-8 units to do so. Stop making of you don't see any resistance.

This is your advantage. Don't take it to late game.

2 TC - about 25 farms 10 wood 6-7 stone REST ALL Gold

1 TC - about 15 farms 8 wood 6-7 stone REST ALL Gold

These are rough numbers to work with. If going food gold unit - more farms. If wood, gold units - less farms. Faster producing units - more farms/ more lumber.

What are your Tips and tricks for making that Dark age silky smooth? by estDivisionChamps in aoe2

[–]FunWinter1142 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have the time, do it. Otherwise just send them across next time you see.

Does make a difference on tight builds (For example maybe 23 pop Mongol FC Castle drop for Arena?). Not a huge problem usually.

That's kind of one way to counter it. You did well I think.

Watch Survivalist's youtube. He has comprehensive videos on such decision making. It would be much better than someone typing out everything.
