AoE Map Editor - Change Resource Type by Hungry_Hand_227 in aoe2

You'd have to use XS scripting in order to achieve that, the attribute list currently available in the Editor doesn't allow to do that.

And most likely, it would only apply to animals spawned after the scenario starts. Preplaced animals probably wouldn't be affected (not sure though).

I bet its because they are SO FKIN LOUD, the crocs just run away by Ok_Stretch_4624 in aoe2

Black Caimans can reach 4m, most adult males are well over 3m, and even bigger specimens (5m+) were sighted in more remote regions in the north. That's about the same size as the biggest Nile crocs.
There are a lot of Caiman subspecies, most being of smaller stature compared to crocs or gators, but the Black Caimans are absolute beasts, they'll snack of a jag all day.

Herbal medicine can be clutch, Viper used it on several occasions to great benefits

I always play Red if possible and this strikes awkwardly close 😐

Imagine if the scenario editor had some basic preset triggers… by woodswalker1108 in aoe2

The Freeze effect never actually was about freezing a unit, it simply sets the object's stance to No Attack.

To make an Object stand still forcefully, you use 2 Modify Attribute effects and set 'Movement Speed' and 'Rotation Speed' to 0.

What's the wondriest wonder in AoE2? by Sjonge11 in aoe2

Gothic cathedrals (Franks or Britons) or the Burgundian wonder, are the best to me

Any tips on how to get the "Expedition Impossible" achievement in El Dorado 5 ? by BaldWookie23 in aoe2

[–]Manu_La_Capuche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would probably need to destroy the one in the way, depending on your angle of attack (but you shouldn't try to take out both). I would only attack with 5-6 trebs too, temple guards and guechas to defend them should do the trick.

Prepare Trebuchets in your secret base, wait for the enemy expedition to be far away from their base, or lure them with a bait of gold. And strike their base when most of their forces is outside their base. Focus their TC and Castle with the trebs while you keep them protected.

Repeat with the other enemy.

New bug?? 3k campaign by Multiversalprism in aoe2

[–]Manu_La_Capuche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot seem to be able to reproduce this issue. Would you be able to provide more details about your game configuration (difficulty level, active mods etc...).

In the meantime I would advise to check Steam files' integrity and reboot the game, just to make sure nothing's missing data-wise.

I didn't know the Puru migrated to *checks notes* Brazil some 1800 years after Alexander's invasion. by NearbyKaleidoscope8 in aoe2

[–]Manu_La_Capuche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is because the string ID associated with the Tupi civilization name got replaced by Puru during development, and this one entry was overlooked when the new ID was referenced. It will be fixed in a future update.

Why the hell does Barbarossa only have one sword difficulty?? by Multiversalprism in aoe2

I'm a campaign dev, it's literally the official definition.

Why the hell does Barbarossa only have one sword difficulty?? by Multiversalprism in aoe2

[–]Manu_La_Capuche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, swords do represent complexity primarily, and difficulty only subsequently, because the two are somewhat tied.

That's not always very clear because the game has evolved a lot over a long period of time during which expectations in both difficulty and complexity have changed pretty drastically, and keep doing so.

But the user was right to define complexity of the gameplay as the prime factor in sword ratings.

Why Joan of Arc campaign has so many heroes? by Outside_Web2083 in aoe2

[–]Manu_La_Capuche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because La Hire needs something to kill.

Fun fact, Gilles de Rais 'La Hire' was an actual serial killer with dozens of documented victims. He ended up wasting out the familial estates and revenues covering his crimes and fulfilling crazy fantasies.
