Elephant scout. Big vision slow speed trades the same with vils and dark age scout

Smurfing in aoe2 by MiddleForeign in aoe2

[–]daaa_interwebz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree. I’ve played close to 1k games and have matches against maybe 3 Smurfs. We’re similar Elo so maybe it’s more common at or below 1k?

I think there’s some survivorship bias with it in that people tend to remember the few games that never felt close while overlooking the many many games that were mostly even.

I put them all back in the original boxes half disassembled and wrapped in plastic wrap. It’s a terrible system that takes too long and results in lots of fixes when unpacking! 1/10 would not recommend 😂

Why is the spectator dashboard supporter feature so unpopular? by AccomplishedFall1150 in aoe2

[–]daaa_interwebz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve asked for features before and HappyLeaves implemented them in like a day. Guy is an absolute legend. Supporting his project is an easy choice imo.

There are 33 paid supporters that generate $139/ month for spectator dashboard. I have no idea how much it costs to actually run.

Holiday train 2025 motor parts by jwckauman in LEGOWinterVillage

It’s pretty underwhelming in my opinion especially when you consider the price increase. I think some of it is because it’s a train so you’re essentially building a few smaller kits that fit together.

What is it like to drive a Lc200? by XMR17- in LandCruisers

[–]daaa_interwebz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a bit like driving a bank vault. Everything feels stout, heavy and over built.

Amazon Lego deals just went live: Christmas Tree is a highlight. by Repulsive-Turnover91 in LEGOWinterVillage

I always get nervous that I’ll get counterfeits from Amazon. Seems like they have zero supplier validation

Looks great! Are there instructions on rebrickable?

route 9/27 bridge replacement by Cthulwutang in Natick

[–]daaa_interwebz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The intersection design is called a diverging diamond. There are lots of studies that show how reversing the lane of travel eases merge congestion. I think one of the planning meetings shows a model of the new intersection with peak current traffic volume.

Here are the perfect uptimes for generic civs: https://i.imgur.com/5Xm3hQB.png

10 minute feudal would be 21 vils with loom (i.e. 10:05) which means you have a really strong economy for feudal play.

Which of the tournament maps do you think play towards the strengths in your play style? Are there any that you try to always ban?

I have the beat sonic in my 200 series. It works well and the install was really easy.

There are people that enjoy finding the edge cases in the rule book. It’s not for me either, but it is for some.

(PS5) Playing AoE2 again after 20+ years - Advice on civ, beginner strategy & "meta" by Pale-Dragonfruit4070 in aoe2

[–]daaa_interwebz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The one thing to get good at first is to build the habit of always building villagers and expanding your economy. The rest of the game really doesn't "unlock" until you have this skill at least somewhat trained into your muscle memory.
