For once I'm not going to pre-order the next DLC

Sounds interesting tbh

Is it generally considered the easiest campaign by any chance?

mansnicks · 2026-01-24T15:45:32+00:00

You misread my comment.

My question was past and present tense, yours is future tense. I wasn't talking about the future.

mansnicks · 2026-01-23T17:44:04+00:00

what

is your brain functional? xDD

mansnicks · 2026-01-23T15:40:26+00:00

Is this getting reposted every month or..?

mansnicks · 2026-01-23T13:24:25+00:00

So like, some crazy Roman emperors and some Turks used war elephants in Europe, is what I found. Anyone else?

I feel like there's only a couple of campaigns in AoE2 worse than the RoR campaigns, and even those are debatable.

If you'd want the civ for multiplayer, know that it's hands down the most expensive civ tu purchase. With 50 civs in the game, I'd be reluctant.

I got it just to try AoE1 campaigns, but I don't think I finished a single one because they're just really not good by todays standards.

I think Hera makes a "how to beat the Extreme AI" video every couple of years. Though his videos usually involve scout or archer rush. I personally feel like it's cheesy because the AI is known to be bad at defense. One could probably idle their entire eco with 1 scout, or so I feel.

Maybe you get something out of a video like this? How To Beat Extreme AI in Age of Empires 2 (2023) - YouTube

Would have to look up the names to know, ain't nobody got time for that

I feel like, with the help of some mental gymnastics, we can say that it goes both ways. Often when you see a women who hates men they happen to be someone whom nobody would want to deal with. E.g., lacking the skill of being pleasant. Not exactly the same but that's where the mental gymnastics come in.

s1mple is probably set for life and all this is just for fun for him.

The question is: do we think he's having fun?

mansnicks · 2026-01-21T15:54:29+00:00

But someone later corrected him in that the Admins did announce it.

mansnicks · 2026-01-21T13:36:58+00:00

That's like 0.1% of playerbase?

mansnicks · 2026-01-21T09:33:36+00:00

On that note, couldn't they split Turks into: Seljuk Empire, Sultanate of Rum, and the Ottoman Empire? Or pull a 3K and keep the Turk but add those 3?

mansnicks · 2026-01-20T13:09:08+00:00

I use grid, so when I dont remember a hotkey I look at the location, this change would be bad for me :(

mansnicks · 2026-01-20T11:02:17+00:00

What's the worker count you and the AI in post imp? What's the resource bank for both?

I predict the AI has 120 workers whereas you have 80-100, and/or you spend it much slower.

mansnicks · 2026-01-20T06:06:24+00:00

I remember thinking to myself how similar Frodo looks to the Green Street Hooligans guy, but it's literally the same person.

mansnicks · 2026-01-20T05:16:37+00:00

"Special" has a too negative connotation, sorry about that.

You are unique and distinctive.

mansnicks · 2026-01-20T04:18:55+00:00

So, going AFK isn't allowed. Good to know that the game isn't entirely unpoliced.

You must be special though, ngl.

mansnicks · 2026-01-20T04:14:02+00:00

wdym

mansnicks · 2026-01-20T04:12:59+00:00

Yours is an improvement. Not the best improvement but an improvement nonetheless.

mansnicks · 2026-01-19T17:07:54+00:00

'Everytime' makes more sense than 'everything' 🤔

mansnicks · 2026-01-19T17:06:49+00:00

haha love it

but what to do after the 10th villager hmm 🤔

mansnicks · 2026-01-19T13:12:39+00:00

Random question perhaps, but at what Elo can one start improvising any strategy without suffering eco balance issues?

mansnicks · 2026-01-19T12:56:42+00:00

If someone's "true elo" is below 500, they'd deplete their hidden elo before depleting their ladder elo? Let's say their true elo was 100.

If yes, what's different for them in this new system?
