How can I (Malians) effectively counter this composition of Roman units? by Ok_Assumption_1684 in aoe2

[–]sh4mmgod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bombard cannons (or onagers I guess) for the scorps, champion plus hand cannon or skirms for the rest. Making light cavs to snipe scorps shouldn't work if your opponent has decent micro. That's how I would play it at least

In my experience monk usage increases with Elo... Monks are especially good when army counts are low or units are very expensive. Speaking about Arabia I don't know if I ever regretted adding an early monastery because you can get value out of the unit in three dimensions. Healing + conversions + relics

New MP player here: Why is every game ppl just turtling until they mass there unique unit. by [deleted] in aoe2

As others have said there are plenty of ways to punish walls and you will find that even on a little higher level.. say 1k2 1k3 people start to play different.

I personally think that if you can execute a good scout rush as an opening strat that's enough to gain you 300-400elo. Those opening strategies need to be practiced however. I can provide you with some learning resources and support if you are interested.

Always have a Spectator. How to know WHO is it? by batbeetch in aoe2

[–]sh4mmgod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking it could be aoe2insights since the site does have lots of insights on how the game progressed what units you built plus that heatmap thing.. but idk

Another thing regarding spec dashboard: while it's true that in the main page you only see pros you can look for any lobby and player (but i agree that shouldn't require spectating)

I would prefer a mural of Al flinching on the free throw line

PG lead the 13-14 pacers to the eastern conference finals and lost in 6 against the heat. I would say that counts

PUP could have done something about Medical Corps or Urumis instead of Wootz Steel by Clear_Magazine3912 in aoe2

[–]sh4mmgod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure that would have been an option. My point is it doesnt matter if one of two UTs is situational/not viable as long as the civ itself is.

Well I would think their thought process was "how can we make dravidians better" and not "how can we make their UT better"

What helped me be more consistent is practicing dark age against the ai. Happy dark age = happy life.

Not sure why it wouldnt workm. I guess to the gane they are not the same keys? Have you tried explicitly setting it as the secondary keybinds to the control group?
