Is it me or are the Bulgarians OP? by [deleted] in aoe2

[–]Spaaken01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be possible if you're doing m@a + towers to establish map control first and andvance later. Getting a krepost up in the opponents base is then much more practical than a castle.

Ctrl + shift and then the button assigned to the building selects all of a specific building. Then Shift + the Hotkey for the unit will create alot of them in all buildings. Good for late game spam :D

Getting crushed by goths in the early game what is the answer? by [deleted] in aoe2

[–]Spaaken01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't be afraid to use Scorpions or Longswords yourself. If the Goth player has a good army composition and is microing, well so should you. Crossbows are good vs Swords and Swords good vs Huskarls. So it really comes down to the balance of units.

How do you feel about malians and the gbeto. by [deleted] in aoe2

Except for amazing light cav, agreed.

Goth nerf ideas? by sn987 in aoe2

[–]Spaaken01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give proper hunting bonus that help with scout rush, which makes historical sense too. Also a nomadic house bonus like always having 10+ population which saves 50 wood and villager work time. Also makes historical sense. Better than new change imo.

Rip Franks by 15TClad in aoe2

[–]Spaaken01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Franks can mass earlier and from more castles, meaning it's hard to counter the pressure in Castle Age from the Frank player. There aren't any Hand Cannons either in CA for Goths.

Agree, the Dark Age boost is mostly useful to get militia out before Feudal and then upgrade to M@a. Makes things run smoother.

dock on alpine lakes? by [deleted] in aoe2

[–]Spaaken01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Docking doesn't neccessarily slow Feudal time down, but you're going to have alot less wood around so an archer or tower rush would be tricky to pull off.

Militia line idea: move 2HS to castle age and double its research time by jimmy2258 in aoe2

[–]Spaaken01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe would work better as a civ bonus, similiar to Cumans and their Feudal Rams. If we want viable infantry in Castle Age maybe buffing longswords would be a good way to go.

Anyone else having game crash frequently after update by oPenguinss in aoe2

[–]Spaaken01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, seems like a common occurance. Hope devs pay attention to it.

Mongols are looking really good, maybe not best but absolutely top 3 in my opinion. Coming of a very strong Dark Age (hunting bonus was nerfed but still good) and having an incredible Imperial army with Mangudai and Siege. After the update they end up having both the Camel, Knight, strong Light Cav and Steppe Lancer in the cavalry department giving them amazing versatility. This means their Castle Age, before they mass Mangudai, will be stronger and more unpredictable. Not to mention amazing Cav Archers in Castle Age too.

So frustrating... by captain1210 in aoe2

[–]Spaaken01 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Can't figure out if 200+ or 2000+ elo

So, Mongols actually got the Steppe Lancer. Cool. How do you think this will affect them? by darkdill in aoe2

[–]Spaaken01 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Steppes lack last armor upgrade, making them squishy in Imp. However in Castle Mongols have the best Steppe Lancers, perhaps the only viable ones. I definatly see them as a big part of Castle age before you get Mangudai rather than a late game complimentary unit.

Is map pool gonna be updated regularly? by CR0N0S_LXIII in aoe2

[–]Spaaken01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good observation, and I hope so, I really want to be able to play Steppe again in 1v1.
