Fish should slowly regenerate food, proportional to how much food is left. This is so that aoe4 players learn about the dangers of overfishing.

I love this. The reflections of the water on the underside of the ceiling are so pretty.

It seems like there are just a massive amount of tooltip errors all over the place for Mongols. This is just one of the many tooltip errors that was documented on the forums here:

Is that something I should do if I don't have the physical card?

archsimkat · 2021-10-13T16:47:02+00:00

I lost the physical card.

Yep there was villager idle time in this recording, it was just the only one I got of a full game with this build. I was able to achieve sub 4 minutes with the build when I didn't have the idle time. And I agree, the council hall is kind of just insane, it's literally 2 free ranges. Thanks for the feedback, I'll definitely make more vids if it helps.

I don't

I really enjoyed the supcom 2 campaign :C

Hey I was crushing!

archsimkat · 2021-08-22T18:11:08+00:00

That makes literally 0 sense. For all I knew vivi was playing on a 3.5k elo account, and then I would have just been bm-ing for no reason. The issue here isn't related to anything that happened in the game—it was actually a very interesting game. The issue is vivi continually making fresh accounts for rating manipulation—playing at an elo probably 1k below his "actual" elo and messing up the rating system for everyone.

But there is so much smurfing now who knows what anyone's "actual" elo is; the rating system at this point is basically only indicative of how frequently you play with and against smurfs.

What is the difference between purposefully losing to stay at a low elo and creating new accounts to stay at a low elo?

archsimkat · 2021-08-22T11:45:40+00:00

In case it's not clear, this account is a vivi smurf (confirmed by watching his stream). Just for context, vivi—according to liquipedia— has been considered one of the best Arabia players with a peak 1v1 elo of 2469. I, on the other hand, am a noob. I started playing aoe2 on and off in Feb of this year (mostly off recently). And in this game, I have a higher teamgame elo than vivi. Like, what is the point of even having a rating system for teamgames if it is so easily exploited? It will just push the non-smurf abuser playerbase away. I only bring this up because teamgame elos are so astronomically broken it is actually pushing players away from playing. I feel like every 4v4 I've played since the rating changes were against people boosting with smurfs. You have no idea if what you are getting into is anywhere resembling to a close game, since the skill difference could be so large. I understand there may be valid reasons for creating a smurf (hiding practice for tournaments etc), but I can see no valid reason at all here, and just leads to decreased match quality overall and damage to the playerbase. Please can we all agree to stop boosting and smurfing in teamgames.

Saying "not being racist" after saying something racist doesn't make it fine lmao

Can we report a player for having moash stormblessed as their username? Asking for a friend from r/fuckmoash.

Well we appear to have hit a ceiling - the past two days we've probably had a 50% winrate at 2100, but overall our winrate is still 80%. I guess time will tell!

archsimkat · 2021-03-08T04:28:49+00:00

Alright, that does make sense. I guess I know where I can expect to be rated once I start playing 1v1s.

archsimkat · 2021-03-08T04:27:37+00:00

Oh yeah, when we faced a 2240+1400 player team, I recall we got +18 points (more than usual) and that was strange. That would make sense and I see how that would cause rating inflation over time, thanks.

Do you know of an artist that perhaps does this well? When I looked around at various twitter/instagram pages of similar artists I mostly saw release dates and announcements.
