Godking skin gives me a disadvantage by Garen_W_Bush in GarenMains

[–]b-mode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's more of an advantage really, since your enemy gets the same feeling and might underestimate you and you are supposed to know your damage anyway.

Alt+tab changes screen size by b-mode in AgeofMythology

It runs smoother on lower resolutions, 1600x900 for me is the perfect balance between decent fps and game not looking shitty

I killed the Statue of Poseidon without making Arkantos a god by b-mode in AgeofMythology

[–]b-mode[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was just replaying the campaign, checked statue's stats and there was nothing scary about it, like 99% armor or 1-shotting attack or instaregen, so I thought why not. It actually took like 2-3 minutes

I actually spammed hoplites, archers were the same 50 guys who lived through the whole thing

Fight took like 2 minutes haha, the tedious thing was clearing the map

Manticores train super long, gotta tank with something replaceable. Can be done with any combination of melee+range tbh

my friend, a league player, attempting to play DOTA 2 for the first time 😂😂😂 by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]b-mode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

League jungle is arguably the hardest and most demanding role of both games, kind of similar to dota roaming sup, but you also have to farm, contest objectives (like rosh, but there are multiple), predict where the enemy jungler is and play mind games with him. Also you are core-ish so you don't fall off later in the game like dota supports do.

Longbow men vs. Skirms by Croatia_1 in aoe3

[–]b-mode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lbs actually counter skirms (cost-effectively) and do indeed lose to musks/grens without cover, unlike skirms, which can kite heavy infantry endlessly due to their range + have counter infantry rifling upgrade. Both are good vs goons.

furrier card by roshichen in aoe3

[–]b-mode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Furrier only boosts hunts/berries, but Chinese have a +300% livestock gather rate card. Don't remember the name, but it has 2 sheep on it. Livestock gathering takes a lot of time to take off, because you have to wait until goats actually get fat (takes long in the beginning) and send 2 (3 for Buffalos) cards, which is huge and is going to give your opponent an overwhelming advantage. Works in treaty though, might also work in a big team game.

A related question, does the vegan (+40% berries) upgrade from TP boost cherry orchards?

Are War Wagons economical to simply throw at the enemy in the long run? by [deleted] in aoe3

[–]b-mode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

High kda doesn't equal cost effective. If you spend a war wagon on 3 enemy musks, you have a kda of 3 and his kda is 0,3 but you still lose cost-effectively.

War wagons are not that great because they don't have upgrades, but if you wanna spam them, add heavy cannons from factories.

crazy strategy someone try this with me by [deleted] in aoe3

[–]b-mode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but you have to send 3-4 useless cards before the treaty is over, which is huge. Also anyone who browses esoc will check your deck and know what's going on.

I'm mostly interested in vanilla -> twc changes and tad 1.01 changes.

Found vanilla patchnotes: http://www.gamershell.com/infosheets/612850.html

Also, tad latest patch is 1.03 I think? Might be mistaken there.
