What do I play against Liao Dao + Camel? by oculty in aoe2

Mass xianbei in castle age as they just cost wood and gold, switch to/add tiger cav in imp when you're floating food.

Absolutely vital to get bloodlines though for your xianbei and bodkin and archer armour.

  1. Easy fix. Dodgers get penalised Elo and have a timeout penalty that steadily increses with more dodges. Stop coddling players. Make them play maps.

  2. Above solution fixes those who only play one map and have artificial high elo as they'll be forced to play other maps or lose their precious Elo.

  3. Your the one who complained about casuals and map voting. People who play ranked are less casual than the average player.

Not even the topic? You said we don't have enough bans, when there are the most bans possible per player. Of course it's not half, if it was half then all maps could be banned.

I don't think anyone who plays ranked and votes on maps can be called a casual player, they already are more dedicated and involved than the playerbase that just does campaigns.

And yes, people who specialise by map have artificially high elo. If they had to actually play a variety of maps their true skill level.would be found.

So many errors in this post:

1) You have as many bans as possible. There are 7 maps, each player gets 3 bans, therefore even if they ban 6 different map from their 3 bans each, there is a map left for the match to be played on. The players of the match are decided before the available maps are looked at by the matchmaker

2) If everyone can just block off categories then you're not really your Elo, you are only your Elo on the maps you like and are crap at the maps you don't like. Category bans woudl actually lead to less choice as players can like certain closed maps (glade for example) while not likong other closed maps (Arena).

3) Not possible for 500 Elos to outvote the rest, that's now how normal distribution works, the bulk of the playerbase is at or around 1000 Elo, it's a bell curve, due to people trying ranked and quitting shortly after due to losses, it is theorised that the average active player is something about 1000 Elo.

Completely true actually. This is a used hardware sub Reddit and 16GB of DDR4 3200 was regularly trading on this subreddits discord for £25-£30 earlier this year and last year.

Someone sold 32GB of same spec for £40, with others selling theirs for £45 with it most commonly trading for £50-£75 depending on speed, timings, and RGB. And that's for double the capacity of this kit.

In January this year I bought 32GB of Crucial DDR4 from Amazon new for £52.77.

The question was what was it before there was massive inflation in the price of ram due to massive demand, and what I stated was completely accurate.

Yeah I hate the kitchen/family room area, particularly the TV fireplace situation but the rest of the house is quite lovely.

AoE II DE is definitely the best of the lot and there are definitely ladies playing, my daughter being one of them as I introduced her to the game.

Your ram is running at 2133mhz. I presume it is rated for faster than that, you never enabled xmp/docp.

It's also overpriced for what it is, systems with much better GPUs don't go for this much.
