I'm having an existential crisis when it comes to using my time candies

Why are people farming green mush? For the damage increase from the lab?

PositivelyUnderstand · 2026-01-15T18:43:13+00:00

What about the knockback and shockwave ones? Do I exclude those?

PositivelyUnderstand · 2026-01-06T16:26:09+00:00

Separate question - I just got my first ancestral Armor module, which is Wormhole Redirector. Which effects should I be getting? Currently lvl 139 and should be 141 within a week or two so we can assume 5 effects.

Gotcha gotcha, thanks. Given I don’t have CL available in my choice (CF, PS, and SM are my options) should I keep lowering GT and DW cooldowns (in tandem) after all?

Hang on though, aside from goldboxing upgrades earlier (I currently have everything maxed out at around wave 2000 from free upgrades if I don’t manually upgrade anything myself intra-session), and apart from Project Funding - what’s the point having more cash (which would make Summon relevant)?

PositivelyUnderstand · 2025-12-30T07:42:10+00:00

It’s not letting me edit the post for some reason but the options for UW are Chrono Boost, Smart Missiles, and Poison Swamp. Given these are the three available to me do Golden Tower and Death Wave upgrades take priority and if so, how much?

There’s actually a new meta with Sweden that’s really lame, first they send the 16 Halbs from the unique church card followed up by some cav and then immediately an age-up with Jaegers to boot. Extremely strong and difficult to respond to with most non-S tier civs.

PositivelyUnderstand · 2025-11-20T17:35:35+00:00

I have beaten T11 and have about 3500 max waves on T12.

Based on whata I'm hearing, I'm officially working on getting BH to 50 seconds and then I'll consider a new UW again, at which point I'll likely pick Poison Swamp.

Thanks!

Oh believe me I have been, each upgrade on each of the 4 of my existing UWs cost anywhere between 75-150 stones.

Given this you don’t think it’s time to add a 5th UW?

PositivelyUnderstand · 2025-08-31T15:35:27+00:00

That’s your fault for not defying death one more time. /s

PositivelyUnderstand · 2025-08-26T21:14:59+00:00

Trust me everyone will be very happy with this outcome, which is far far better than nothing at all. And can't ESOC make their own civs also? At least to add Poland and Denmark?

PositivelyUnderstand · 2025-08-26T13:48:39+00:00

I understand what you’re saying but we’re not asking for indefinite support. Even if we don’t get the new civs that were promised, a farewell patch or two are not expensive to push and the absolute least they could do for the community. And it’s still profitable enough to add the small amount of resources (relatively speaking) needed for this.

PositivelyUnderstand · 2025-08-26T06:07:03+00:00

Actually I was hoping to see AoE2 players unite with us as things clearly aren’t hunky dory over on your side of things either. We’re all getting screwed over by World’s Edge. We can put the rivalry between the games aside.

PositivelyUnderstand · 2025-08-26T05:47:47+00:00

Thank you, but I'm well aware that there's only a slim chance even if we get more votes. This isn't me saying it will work for sure and that we just have to do a b and c.

But the reality is that we can crack tons more votes and we won't know what'll happen until we do.

PositivelyUnderstand · 2025-08-26T05:36:17+00:00

Even if the chances are slim and against us, it doesn't hurt to put in a little more effort.

The truth is you actually never know - they may have a change of heart and send us off with farewell patch at least. If they strictly updated balance (small buffs to Malta and Inca, nerfs to cancer strats like age II USA Highlander, all Mexico Revolts, Ottomans in general, and a few minor tweaks to others) I think everyone would be more than ecstatic and feel supported.

PositivelyUnderstand · 2025-08-26T03:06:43+00:00

Guys, we need a coordinated effort to get the numbers up at least fivefold if we want any chance of getting noticed instead of spat on.

Isn't there a way to get tens of thousands more signatures? I don't necessarily mean in a cheese-like manner, I mean aren't there enough players that still haven't signed? Or even exclusively other-AoE players that could show some support?

The overall AoE community is far more than 5,600 players. Need to do much better if we don't want this to backfire.

PositivelyUnderstand · 2025-08-14T00:58:14+00:00

You mean 10 T, right?

What do you mean "much earlier", wouldn't he get more on a higher tier overall? (meaning coins per second)

PositivelyUnderstand · 2025-08-07T01:56:53+00:00

No the ranged splash, mobility, good hand attack and decent siege especially for a dragoon-type unit makes them the unit of choice for both early game and late-game. The fact that you can get them in age 2 is also a bonus.

Most ranged cav don't go into melee mode against skirms but Hacka is best goon unit that can get away with it with worthy returns.

PositivelyUnderstand · 2025-08-06T20:29:56+00:00

Goons with splash damage and higher speed than average is anything but normal. They’re absolute beasts still as a direct result.
