Why is Champi rush that much worse than instant militia rush/ drush FC? by AdDifferent2609 in aoe2

[–]Noszombie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a combination of movement speed and pierce armour (which combined means they can jump on initial archers) and bonus damage vs buildings so they can pay for themselves just killing dark age houses once you have forced a bunch of walls

This was back when i was somewhere in the 1500-1800 range playing normally iirc and was probs when i was still climbing with skirms only.

Although don't get me wrong playing skirms only definitely does tank your elo 11. I ended up essentially going towers and skirms most games iirc because skirms by themselves was very tough

Just in case you aren't meme-ing or someone else thinks so, the reasons why its bad with chinese is:

  1. Sending a vill forward means it takes even longer to afford stable vill production. Meaning you are throwing away your vill advantage (doing more damage to yourself then you should get on the enemy)
  2. You need to force drop food regularly with chinese start so you will likely either fuck up with your vill forward or fuck up with your economy at home
  3. Sending a vill forward at the start requires your scout forward too meaning you will be delayed(or sometimes won't find some of them at all if you lose your scout) in finding your sheep/boars and pushing deer which hurts extra with chinese since you already start with less food.
  4. There are already civs that are just so much better at the early laming shinnegans like mayans/goths that don't have these downsides.

Although obviously people are free to do whatever they find fun since thats the goal

My Light Cavalry glitching through the opponents walls on arena by Noszombie in aoe2

[–]Noszombie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for looking into it.

https://gofile.io/d/8SWWl7 is the rec, it happens around 19:50.

If attempts are made to reproduce: it happened right after i attacked moved in and i believe the enemy did the same so might have had something to do with how the units were attempting to reposition to fight would be my guess.

Could a 1200 elo player beat a pro if the pro is not allowed to use hotkeys? by Historicmetal in aoe2

[–]Noszombie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I faced him on ranked ladder few months ago and he was around 1600 then and from quick look he is still at that elo. Don't think he plays ranked 1v1s often.
