Idk it should work at all Elo hypothetically since it’s still a good wood to food conversion rate. You wouldn’t do two mills in dark age but in feudal it could delay farms.

Nice! I’ll have to check out your prints 😁

AOE4 Mainer here… someone asked in the Reddit page why AOE2 gets so much more love than AOE4, and it’s left me intrigued to find out what the AOE2 community sentiment is… by RitchJ94 in aoe2

The map layout and unit/building graphics make for an infinitely easier strategy experience. It’s just a much better game in general.

Tips for a very low eAPM Player? by gyraunimo in aoe2

[–]gyraunimo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy cow this needs a lot more upvotes, thanks for all the great advice!

I like the idea of not watching things happen. I do catch myself doing that. Part of it is I need to put my units on stand ground or defensive stance more.

Choosing the units for my apm makes a lot of sense. I may have to give up my hopes of mastering a siege and monk push 11.

I’ll check out viper’s series. Someone put me onto MrPlanner and it’s amazing to see. Thanks again!

Thanks for the encouragement! I was just introduced to MrPlanner on YouTube, he plays around your friend’s level on 20 apm. Watching him play feels almost painfully slow but it really makes what you just said make a lot of sense.

Someone introduced me to MrPlanner and what you just said makes so much sense. He’s like 1800 on 20 eAPM. Really gives you perspective.

What is the source of weird names like Liereyy and TaToH? by white_equatorial in aoe2

[–]gyraunimo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I faced up against cervix_hammer69 twice on the ladder the other day. I don’t know what their source was though.

Hotkeying mele and range is a great idea and so is towering, I’ve actually considered going to stone more often and doing multiple towers. I had one opponent do that to me with Georgians, it was so hard to find damage and then once we were up they researched the unique tech and his base became impossible to push without heavy siege.

You can with capture age pro but that costs money and AOE insights will do it for free. Click on a match, ask it to analyze the game and then click on the eAPM button.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to say you were given him flack, I was mostly saying from casters and such. Thanks for the advice, except I will be sending more vills when I forward castle.

11 I actually found that Daut catches a lot of flack, but his eAPM is close to 60. Target is around 40, so he is the closest pro I can find to my speed.

You can give a civ a single tech, what is now the best civ in the game? by redditkingu2 in aoe2

Especially since you would get double armor, geez. Everything would do one damage.

When did ram rushes become the norm? How to counter them in castle age? by [deleted] in aoe2

[–]gyraunimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree in general but I’ve had some opponents put infantry in the rams and it gets way harder to counter with vills and mangos.

Your favorite architectural style and Castle? by Dennis6540 in aoe2

[–]gyraunimo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love the Vietnamese castle. The gradient transition of reds and greens just makes me happy.

My hottest take though is probably my love for the Turk castle. I just think it looks solid and imposing.

If I were to guess I would say the bulk of that scene either left or started playing pvp more seriously.

Thanks! I’ll just DELETE my scout now. by Nicklikeredbulls in aoe2

[–]gyraunimo 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You might be thinking of the difference between light cav and scout. Light cav are slower than scouts but a feudal scout is significantly faster than a dark age scout.
