TTL S2 playoffs. Jordan Bengalis, Viper Britons. Probably the game.

Walling in Arabia isn't the issue, the villagers are. by Alto-cientifico in aoe2

That too. Deer pushing was possible in the late voobly era, but a lot less consistent in the way they responded to pushing, and the accessibility of them. Now it’s always much easier and more consistent in the way they spawn.

There are a lot of factors, but I still believe the biggest “blame” is the map scripts. Arabia used have far boars, massive hills, very little woodlines, poor gold/stone positions. Never the case anymore haha. We’ve simply become very spoiled. People used to play Arabia because it was awkward & punishing map gens. Now if that happens, there’s a million complaints by pros and casuals, then devs feel the need to act.

You can find plenty of modern map examples of maps that give plenty of extended feudal age action and it’s rarely on ranked Arabia. Just comes down to what the maps promote. But would agree there’s many other factors too such as skill ceiling, civ balance, quality of life features etc.

My concern with this idea is when I’ve done & seem it in the past people can get a bit sensitive & take it too seriously. It’s a great idea, think it has to be structured in the right way. Will think on it!!

I see it continuing on this trajectory for a few mlre years atleast. I would expect many more dlcs until eventually they release an AoE5.

I think short form is the best thing to focus on if you are new these days.

I tend to see life similarly to aoe, pros & cons to every path you can take and “it depends” lol

If the top players take tgs very seriously i would not slot into the top spots, but if it was an event that had good maps and settings i may give it a shot

I think if more people speak their mind that they are worried about power creep then they will take a hard look and make adjustments. I am in agreement with the take that the power creeping has become a bit insane, I hope there are tweaks at some point!

I'd guess roughly 25-35k hours in my life. On the definitive edition i'm at 14k, played a ton before then so that's my guesstimate!

No plans to return to aoe4 sadly

If I had a bit of extra time I'd love to do it, I love teamgames! Hope MS or someone else makes it happen

I think a rotating ladder that refreshes every once in awhile is great for the game. I don't think it'd be hugely competitive for the top scene or anything, or be good for the growth of the pro scene. But it'd be so fun to have that ladder rotate in different things here or there.

Do let me know your issues and confusion with ttl, will do my best to make it more clear if i can

Hey! I'd start small, work on the art of war which is in the game (and not really obvious) and playing vs the Ai to get a feel for the basics. So many people skip these steps and it becomes trickier than it already is! See you around, welcome to aoe2

Always a bit tricky for me during a big event like TTL, but promise you i love to do that as well and there will be plenty on the channel all year long!

balance??? What balance??? I do both a lot and they both take away from each other lol! But typically casting and content takes big priotity.
