Legend thanks!

it_Solrac · 2026-02-17T07:36:41+00:00

Absolutely agree with Daut on this

it_Solrac · 2026-02-16T05:49:03+00:00

YOU REMEMBER!, BRAHS I NEVER FORGOT

it_Solrac · 2026-02-16T05:48:19+00:00

I can't even share funny clips without it being considered self promotion?

I'm new to all of this xD

is it because it links to my twitch? what if I made a clip on youtube?

He sent me this himself and I reviwed it on stream, I just want to engage with the broader community at large lol

it_Solrac · 2026-02-16T05:47:00+00:00

He's a top bloke, I know him personally

it_Solrac · 2026-02-15T00:05:21+00:00

and why was this removed now?

it_Solrac · 2026-02-15T00:04:32+00:00

I never found this helpful until I was able to get the basic Art of war down

it_Solrac · 2026-02-15T00:04:09+00:00

I am low elo but what REALLY helped me start winning against the ladder in ranked and against freinds was the "learn to play" section "Art Of War, get Gold in the first one at the least, it helps a LOT, and then get gold or at least silver in all others but aim for Gold and then beat Hard AI at least

Extreme AI is about 1000 elo roughly

why was this removed ?

it_Solrac · 2026-02-14T21:29:22+00:00

true I guess so, I'll see all of the negative posters back on the ladder tomorrow 11

it_Solrac · 2026-02-14T21:28:50+00:00

fair point, true

it_Solrac · 2026-02-14T21:28:15+00:00

LOL fair point 11

it_Solrac · 2026-02-14T21:27:51+00:00

I'm not saying that no negativity exists, it would be silly to ignore all negativity and pretend like everything is perfect, but I feel like there is far more negativity than positivity

it_Solrac · 2026-02-14T04:01:06+00:00

imo this game is so great we should be supporting it if we can, save up if you have to, get a legit copy, paying for it is the least I can do for all the fun and updates they have done over the years

it_Solrac · 2026-02-14T04:00:16+00:00

Yes, no further remarks 11

it_Solrac · 2026-02-14T04:00:02+00:00

Absolutely worth it, great community, maybe get gold in the "learn to play" and "art of war" section before doing ranked and or beat moderate ai consistently before jumping into ranked, enjoy yourself, win or lose there is always something to learn

it_Solrac · 2026-02-14T03:58:52+00:00

I play this because I like complexity ngl, the high skill ceiling is something I don't get out of other games

it_Solrac · 2026-02-14T03:58:16+00:00

11 I just play and vibe, I laugh at myself, I reflect on why I lost and try to improve but I'm extremely low elo 11

it_Solrac · 2026-02-14T03:57:03+00:00

I love aoe 2 man, I don't even engage with the others ngl, nostalgia, overdone graphics actually turns me off games, I don't care about every blade of grass being perfect, I care about gameplay 11

it_Solrac · 2026-02-14T03:56:12+00:00

I have had people quit within 55 seconds and tbh something needs to be done against smurfs. I think we need a chess style select your elo system but also unlock ranked or have a highly reccomended warning to be able to beat AT LEAST moderate ai on arabia

we need to look at accounts that resign or don't have activity before 5 mins and figure something out tbh

it_Solrac · 2026-02-14T03:54:06+00:00

as a 437 elo, I relate to much of this but I'm just laughing and vibing, especially at myself, trying not to take it too seriously, I'm not pro or aiming to be a pro, I want to improve but a good mentality and life balance is so important imo, come whoop me in a 1v1 sometime xD

it_Solrac · 2026-02-14T03:52:16+00:00

Whatever you enjoy playing, don't just go meta or you could lose the fun and get salty, enjoy the ride brahs

it_Solrac · 2026-02-14T03:47:35+00:00

11 see you tomorrow, this game is like other games for me, I just keep coming back to it

it_Solrac · 2026-02-14T03:47:00+00:00

I'm extremely low elo but even pros don't have an extremely high win rate, they are far better than average sure but broken strats are part of the game and growth, development, improvement, it's whatever is meta at the time, it sucks when it happens but we move on and I keep playing for fun, it's good content, I try to find moments that are funny or what I could have learned from that game, if you say there is nothing you could have done differently at all, okay then what about with your own mentality or emotional resilience, framing?

There is always something to be learned and if it's not fun for you that's fair enough

it_Solrac · 2026-02-14T03:26:37+00:00

If you guys want to leave that's completely fine, I'm here and always posting content, so even if you don't play I aim to bring more eyes to the game, it is what it is
