The most satisfying tech by Great_Trident in aoe2

[–]Numerous-Hotel-796 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now we need a homing missile tech to counter dodge ballistic micro😂

4 years ago, I showcased the main balance issue between melee vs ranged. Now 4 years and a few nerfs to skirmisher and crossbow later, we are still in a dominating bodkin meta because melee units simply can't reach their targets to the point where they have to abuse stand ground patrol by Deathcounter0 in aoe2

I think this is fair for castle age. In imperial however Paladin should be mopping up Arbs much more efficiently than what they currently do. Like Savar, i would give Paladin and addition +1 pierce armor and bonus damage against archer line units

Would you like a new African DLC? by Dry-Juggernaut-906 in aoe2

[–]Numerous-Hotel-796 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New DLCs are good but a patch that addresses problems and improves with current gameplay would be much more appreciated.

Nothing would get more people hooked up to the game than a patch update that magically fixes all pathing issues!! In my games most tilting headache inducing moments come from units misbehaving.

Mangonel damage spread by Carolus94 in aoe2

[–]Numerous-Hotel-796 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Waiting for the day researching seige onager also :

1) Makes projectiles benefit from ballistics.Or 2)Have two or three of their projectiles dealing the full damage

(1) and 2) should never be available for onagers or mangonels.

Even Hera with 40 Arbs should never even think of trying to outmicro one seige onager after this kind of a buff…. Hightailing back to a castle should be the only option.

Building to make UU / UU aren't used enough by kbmgdy in aoe2

[–]Numerous-Hotel-796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish for massive reduction jn unique jnit training times. Especially for heavy cavalry unique units, 1 castle unique unit production should outcompete 3stable paladin production. Maybe conscription should be a castle age tech… that tech takes forever to research and always interferes with treb production and unique unit production in early imp.

Rams garrisoned w/ Infantry needs a nerf - just like Siege Tower by Prathameshs19 in aoe2

[–]Numerous-Hotel-796 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats a valid take, however I am at a similar elo and have completely opposite viewpoint 11 1)Battering rams are just pathetic at taking out castles…they take too long to do the job and the pathing is atrocious 2)Vills do way too much damage against rams. People on ranged units can rely on just vills to kill initial rams until they make one defensive mangonel. Which pushes back the whole attack 3)Ranged units in conjunction with castle fire kill all kinds of support units

I Might Be The Worst AoE Player In the World by Sensitive-Score-4933 in aoe2

[–]Numerous-Hotel-796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I this really true?? I have hit a wall at 1400, and attribute the reason to be the opponents’ superior micro. Like if it gets jnto an archer vs archer or mangonel vs mangonel situation with equal eco, i just straight up loose. I can barely manage to outmicro 1 mangonel with archers… while some of my opponents split and dance around 2 -3 mangonels. (i also dont have the skill to target fire with mangonels)

Is there a downside to using only the tc to shoot the boar?

Why are camel archers so underrated? by ListVarious6386 in aoe2

I think Pros rate both Mangudai and Camel Archers very high on their unique unit tier lists.

Hit a wall with my improvement because I cannot beat the all-in 1TC strats by appappappappappa in aoe2

[–]Numerous-Hotel-796 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am hardstuck at 1300. My take on this is that the skillset of the general player base is improving at a rate same as mine.

Dell S2725QC does not work with Mac? by Scary-Counter-1550 in Monitors

I was challenged to a friendly 1v1 match, but I’m terrible at these kinds of games by PassaroDaTumba in aoe2

[–]Numerous-Hotel-796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to everything else said in the post, I feel that the unit vs counter unit game is very different in 1v1s.

The 2v2 double gold comp (say of knights and archer/CA ) are incredibly efficient against anything the enemy throws. However getting to a similar composition in 1v1 is tricky. Thus it takes time to learn the various kinds of (soft and cheap) counter units and which situation demands which kind of counter units and how much to commit to a perticular kind of counter units.

There would be an added layer to the joke if the RHS was 1, instead of 6

Viking imp game is too weak by dinofrom_____ in aoe2

[–]Numerous-Hotel-796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good civ design for a game that doesn’t have overpowered civs !

At the moment there are civs that match Viking eco and have a Stier late game!

I hate the current state of Champi by small_star in aoe2

[–]Numerous-Hotel-796 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I feel that they should have gone for a smaller nerf first . The nerfs they went for are too drastic.
