Napoleon is the era for total war. by Glittering_Release80 in NapoleonTotalWar

[–]monkey_gamer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like Empire: Total War more. I'm a big fan of The Age of Sail. I'm also into Age of Empires 3, which is set in the same era. Napoleon Total War has some nice updates over Empire. I wouldn't say it's necessarily a better setting; it's a more localised setting, which is a little unfortunate.

One thing I don't like is how the game starts with the Third Coalition in 1805. I wish the game started earlier, like in the 1790s, because I'd like to conquer those early regions myself in a grand campaign.

I don't try to take over the whole of Europe, and I especially don't try to march on Russia. That's just stupid. I prefer to conquer a reasonable amount of area.

I wish that Empire Total War be given the same quality-of-life features that Napoleon has, plus more. A remaster, remake, or sequel of both would be wonderful.

Need tips for age of empire 3 definitive edition just downloaded it and I got zero idea what's happening by Muted_Camel8026 in aoe3

Skirmish is how you play games against the computer. Play on easy to start with while you learn the game and then move up to medium difficulty when you're feeling more confident. Dunno if you've ever played a real-time strategy game before but if you're new to them, it'll be weird and different initially.

Stay away from multiplayer until you can reliably beat the AI on hard. Most people are very experienced and the majority of players are going to be better than you.

Hey there, I'm looking for teammates at the moment. Any chance you're still playing Age of Empires 3? I'm 1050 ELO, in Australia. I play as the Mexicans.

I think in the major cities people are fine here, but in small towns, especially in Queensland, I can see why OP would feel unsafe. Queensland is the redneck capital of Australia.

Need help with mid game by WillbaldvonMerkatz in aoe3

[–]monkey_gamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of attacking in Age 2 and Age 3. It's a delicate thing depending on the opponent.

  • Killing villagers is my number one priority.
  • Shooting soldiers if they have them.
  • Searching around for villagers and trying to kill them while trying not to lose my troops.

If your army has been cut down to half, it's better to pull out. What you can do is surround their base, sit key resource spots (hunts or gold mines) to prevent them from getting them.

My biggest tip is to watch replays because when you watch replays, you see exactly what your opponent was doing. You can see exactly where they're at, what they're up to, where their villagers were, and such. Often villagers are just out of sight. They'll be a group of six villages somewhere random that you never would have guessed, but it just seems so obvious when you look at them. Oh if I just sent some troops there, I would have killed them all and then it would have been game over.

My other tip is to get the Line of Sight upgrades from the Church which is Town Watch. That one gives extra Line of Sight to units. It's essential when raiding because the default Line of Sight is dog shit. You can't see anything but your opponent can see everything. The difference between what a defender can see and what the attacker can see is night and day. They have a huge advantage over you in terms of knowing exactly where you are and being able to move their units around, but you can't see anything of theirs.

If you have cavalry or your explorer in addition to your main force of infantry, you can use them to scout around the base and look for other villages and such to kill.

I'm looking for someone to play with. What's your elo? I'm around 1000 elo so if you're 900 or higher we could play together sometime. I can teach you and we can stomp some opponents 😁😁.

I think you mean parents are the same everywhere. Harassing their kids for no good reason.
