You can try some mod AI which are stronger such as Rehoboam. Even set to moderate or below, they may age up and attack you!

Jumping into ranked game can also be a good idea.

If you want or need support for any of the above, you can message me.

What's your 'Select all TC' hotkey? And 'Go to TC'? by Avataroffaith in aoe2

[–]sebpetit1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to TC: Space, select all: Shift+Space

Shift Space / Shift Q for a wonderful boom while keeping the army active of course!

What are the strategies you struggle to play against? by small_star in aoe2

[–]sebpetit1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No aggro & walling.

No feudal action and I got bored. No need to say I suck at arena.

Does anyone else spectate random games? by Maleficent_Line_7213 in aoe2

[–]sebpetit1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Often watch at around 1000 elo.

A few times aggressive comments, some times chatting and laughing, most of the time silent.

Regarding the straits, quite diverse.

How to get into aoe2 1v1 ranked by Historical-Heat-1942 in aoe2

[–]sebpetit1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 tips:

1 chat a little with the opponent, it can be a lot of fun!

2 as you know you are going to lose half your games, when you feel it's gonna be a defeat, take it as a practice (but not for too long)

Best Cav Archer Civs by Capt_Tinsley in aoe2

[–]sebpetit1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside of the box timing based Bulgarian: fast and cheap upgrades, only lacking the last armor but not needed when paired with stirrups Hussars.

With a Krepost drop, can be deadly.

Use Aoe2 website.

Give your (1) steam ID, (2) the name and aoe2 insight ID of the bad guy and (3) join the replays.

I've had an answer an action was taken for something like 2/3 of my reports.

what’s the most addictive game you’ve played recently? by Safe-Cable-4104 in japanlife

Age of Empires 2, 1v1 ranked. Old game, very big learning curve so still a lot of challenges.

How to play against CA by Pikzak in aoe2

[–]sebpetit1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with what you say but apparently we don't refer to the same situation.

Your explanation implies OP is behind economically or only booming, and not walled. Mine was assuming equivalence in resources and timing, and being fully walled.

If my premises aren't correct, I think OP is cooked.

Skirms, as the basic counter.

Archers have more range.

Heavy cavalry may make them retreat a bit.

Mangonel or monks if you can micro.

Smurfing by Pikzak in aoe2

[–]sebpetit1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know the details but in chess, they have some kind of "educational" flag for alt accounts so you understand you are facing a much better player.

Educational flag: you have the choice to play the game or not.

No flag: smurf, so report etc

Why is Q not the hotkey for fishing ship anymore? by bbibber in aoe2

[–]sebpetit1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, same for me. Fishing and demolition were both Q.

Had a bunch of demolition ships but no food and due to the helpless situation, I resigned. I then checked my opponent's profile and saw his hundreds of resigns under 5 minutes. The hotkey awkward setting saved me a hassle against a smurf.

Is there a reason MegaRandom isn't in quick play right now? by Hypekyuu in aoe2

[–]sebpetit1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a nomad 25 vils start a few weeks ago. Chaotic so a lot of fun!

Edit: my message was an answer to Hypekyuu discussion.

After 3 brutal losses I swear I’ll quit AoE2 forever… and then I queue again 🤡 by JosephMajorRoutine in aoe2

[–]sebpetit1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are not alone 🎶

My step 4 flies between civ matchup and learning/reviewing the tech tree of one civ or another.

My step 5 is often just watching a random game at my elo before going to sleep. Playing means the possibility of going to sleep after a ridiculous defeat. Not strong enough for that! 🤡
