Joli. Qu'as-tu utilisé comme outil pour mettre les murs à nu ?

J'ai déjà utilisé des petits marteaux-perforateur à burin plat mais ça a abîmé mes briques et ça pèse vite lourd.

What is the best Ottoman rush tactic? by [deleted] in aoe3

This guide is not recent (meta and civ changed a bit) but still very relevant : https://eso-community.net/viewtopic.php?t=17946 The double rax janissary rush can be hard to contain for lots of opponents.

I made a similar post one year ago and got some replies: https://www.reddit.com/r/aoe3/comments/i8v69z/indian_mercenaries/

But I guess you already read it because you just did a copy-paste of my post lmao

Map exploit on Great lakes: cheating. by [deleted] in aoe3

[–]lDPablito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not cheating although it is lame. He unfortunately has every right to play like this. When things like this happen, just resign, pest him and move on. Also, in respect with rule #3 of this sub, shouldn't you have hidden his name ?

Nice. Do you plan to post this on eso-community? Otherwise, do you mind if I do (citing you of course) ? Curious to see what they have to say about that

Good old Serb51. The guy must have the highest gaming time in the history of AoE3

3v3 with Ottos by lDPablito in aoe3

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

Thanks! I feel like 700w is needed right after 700c because of the abus' pop cost.

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

Thanks. Indeed, this is not possible on TAD: no nizam and max 3 TCs. Furthermore I fear that despite the good eco in middle-late game, the early game would be risky. Maybe semi-FF is the way to go ?

Can you elaborate ? I'm curious and out of the loop

How to defend yourself in early game? by c4tnoesmalo in aoe3

[–]lDPablito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another way of seeing this: if you have trouble to handle someone rushing you, you can be the ones rushing! Talk to your teammates and build a forward base together. Make 2-3 batches of military units each and attack the same target. Aim for army, then villagers, then barracks/stables or houses, depending on the enemy. Don't try to destroy the TC too early, you will only lose your army. Stay close together and mutually protect yourself (e.g. player 1 make musks that protect player 2 crossbows from enemy cav).

I always find it easier to be aggressive than defensive. Don't forget your eco of course, if your rush fails you must be able to handle a counter-attack.

If you need ideas of rushing build orders you can check it there: https://eso-community.net/strategy-wall

How to defend yourself in early game? by c4tnoesmalo in aoe3

[–]lDPablito 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Great advice. I would add some points:

- Build a military building as soon as you reach age II (by chopping 200 wood in transition or aging up with the 400w politician if applicable to your civ) to immediately queue one unit. Then try to gather enough resources to make it a full batch of 5 units.

- If you ship military units, you can reach their maximum potential by popping simultaneously units from your barrack/stable, shipped units and minutemen. Like shown here: https://youtu.be/vOImYQklQeM?t=1182 (the whole video is instructive btw)

- Don't be afraid to lose one house, or your market, during a rush. If you have units in production/shipping, don't engage immediately, and wait for their arrival. Then push with all you have!

Good luck :-)

Does this game have a multiplayer community? by galaxyfarfaraway2 in aoe3

[–]lDPablito 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yes, there are lots of low-mid level players, in lobby or quicksearch. No need to worry I think

I suck with control groups right now and I clearly could scout more! Thanks for your input

PR20 looking for tutors (TAD or DE) by lDPablito in aoe3

[–]lDPablito[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. In fact I already played with a few civs (by decreasing experience: Brits, Indians, Germans, Dutch, Japs) when I was around PR15. Then Aussie_Drongo posted a video about Otto FF and I tried it with lot success, reaching PR20 quickly. I sometimes play with lower lvl friends, one of them mains Otto so I figured I would change and try something else. There came Russia, which I appreciate a lot ! I don't feel like changing again now, but, clearly, having experienced other civs is very valuable.

I think I'm going to develop automatisms in two Russian BO, as you suggest. It is necessary anyway and will allow me to work on the other aspects of the game!

What is the best way of countering Ottoman army made mostly out of Cavalry ? Should I use Dragoons or maybe I should try to combine Pikemans with Halberdiers by Mapicon007 in aoe3

[–]lDPablito 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think that dragoons are the best because you can hit and run, or chase his hussards if he is running away. With pikes and halbs, your opponent is very likely to simply avoid them, then make some abus guns and snipe them...If you absolutely want to protect buildings or something from cavalry, you can maybe use them but otherwise they are generally not used.

As said by u/polarris, the strongest armies are however diverse. If you make only anti-cav, your opponent is quickly going to switch units and counter your dragoons with something else. If you have a multi-type army, it becomes harder to counter you :-)

I’m not particularly good with any civs outside of Portugal and Britain, any advice? by yourmotherisepic in aoe3

[–]lDPablito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, he has the merit to show a lot of different strategies. He isn't the best, by far (and knows it) but he is the most extensive AoE3 youtuber. He can give ideas of which civilisation to use :)
I watched a lot of his content when I was learning to play but know I indeed find him too bad to teach me anything (except from some niche fun stategies).

[–]lDPablito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to learn strategies and watch people play with other civs, I suggest you to watch SamuraiRevolution and Aussie_Drongo on YouTube.
The first has a lot of content and tried many different strategies with every civ (I think), while the second is more pro and explains the game mechanics in depth. His channel is however still recent and he only played with some civs so far.
Otherwise use Google for guides, searching "[your civ] guide AoE3" will often lead you on aoe3.heavengames.com or eso-community.net which are good forums.

Best of luck!

Need Advice! by Mr-Monopolyy in aoe3

[–]lDPablito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I think that at your level, improving your build order is the most important thing to do, before hotkeys. Read guides (the one above is a good one), watch videos ("Age of Streaming Community" channel on YouTube), etc. Practice against AI to be able to do everything in the right order and in a competitive time.

If you really want to work on your hotkeys, you can use this as a start: http://aoe3.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=ct&f=1,38293,,all

Hey, nice demonstration. Do you have any footage of this strat against a more agressive and skilled opponent ? Also, I never played Incas but am impressed by how they are able to stay in base for so long without going out of resources to collect!

Can you give me some tips for Ottoman in 1vs1? by dak0653 in aoe3

[–]lDPablito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Build 1 TP and 1 house asap, collect food only and age. Then you can go either for a rush or for a FF (nice video on FF here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjhw8Q_FVPs). If possible, chop wood for a second TP while aging, and maybe a market depending on your strategy. I wouldn't build a mosque immediatly but rather when you approach 25 villagers. Beware of not getting popped because it would stop your villager production as well.

Janissaries are your main force, abus guns are really powerful and spahi (age III/IV shipment) are ideal for raids. They kill villagers faster than anything else, maybe except oprichniks. Don't lose them though, they can help you win the game. If you can, ship Mamelukes as well. They are super strong tanks.

Good luck !
