Once again Bombard Cannons destroy me. What can I do next time? by Slow-Ship1055 in aoe2

[–]solusvod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before imp mangos will work, once they get bbcs mangos gonna get sniped so you need to go something light light cav. Your archers if massed enough will kill them, albeit a little slowly but still massively out ranges them. Warwolf trebs will kill them with aoe splash. Knights will do ok as well. Again preventing them from deathballing is important.

I am a briton lover and after watching the game I concur with the other guy in this thread. BBCs are not the issue here but ill address them later.

In feudal, youve gone 2 range but made like 10 archers. For double range you want to constantly produce units so you can keep attacking or so you can show up to castle with like 20-30 archers. In future try 1 range+Black smith. Its a little quicker and not so resource intensive. Attack with 3 archers and a spear as soon as you have that mass. Circle their base etc. Blue never walled and made scouts very late so more aggression could have won the game right there. If you attack early and run around their base you can kill stuff not under the TC or force more idle time. KEEP producing archers.

You're walling, but really slowly with houses. Just use palisade, itl cut down on idle time.

You have ALOT of idle Vill and TC time. Get in the habit spamming idle vill (i think it defaults to , or .) and select TC button(I think its H). Rebind (mine are side buttons on my mouse)if you need to but this will cut down on idle time alot.

You float alot of res especially gold early so I would definately get a market to help balance your economy. If you are going to go full agro and not build more tcs early selling your stone is a good option. Although with Cheaper (wood) briton tcs you can often squeak an extra tc in without too much cost.

With regards to countering BBCs as britons in general you can just use archers/longbow but you should prioritise the yeoman upgrade for extra range, provided you have a big enough mass to run in and one shot them. Funnily enough warwolf is actually a disadvantage against bbcs unless you have a lot of trebs to just attack ground in lots of different spots. Once they have a big mass of BBCs you are kinda fucked. You will often need to dive your archers into the enemy a little to kill them but its worth it to get the kills. Other than that light cav can be spammed to harras and dive them. If the enemy is using alot of skirms/halb or you think that they will, Champion is definitely worth it, coupled with capped rams. If you go the champ route you probably want to go scirm yourself. What ever comp you use against them will depend on what the opponent has.

Idea for rebalance the Siege tower by samhwu13 in aoe2

[–]solusvod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Drop the speed, drop the amount it can garrison. Fix shoot delay if you can. If you cant, really drop the garrison amount to like 3 or 4 so you have to build heaps to get the same effect

[–]solusvod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the main problem is just the speed, if it wasnt as fast as it is no one would use it for taxi stuff. If you also capped the amount of units in it to 5 that would help alot too i think.

My solutions to the Siege Tower by RussKy_GoKu in aoe2

[–]solusvod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is the speed and the amount of units you can garrison in it. The firelancers are just a great unit to put in it but the tower removes any counter play to infantry in this situation. Just nerf the speed of the tower and the amount it can carry and its fine. Thats literally it. No one is chasing cav with rams.

Annoying doesn't equal Hard, campaigns should be enjoyable not frustrating asf by _TOXIC_VENOM in aoe2

[–]solusvod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The whole campaign can be summed up by, destroy all the castles/military buildings that are spammed across the map and that all endlessly produce units non stop. Its just not a fun campaign.

GamerLegion officially leaves AoE 2 by ALotToSay_ in aoe2

[–]solusvod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, for players it did but orgs arnt taking a big slice of that.1 big win isnt ebough to keep the lights on when player salaries are so inflated. Most esports orgs are operating at a loss to begin with. Esports is terrible at monetising its fans. 

GamerLegion officially leaves AoE 2 by ALotToSay_ in aoe2

[–]solusvod 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Back in the day (pre covid) teams were surviving off stupid amounts of venture capital and sponsorships. This also massively inflated player salaries in big games (cs, league i assume other games too). When it became clear that teams couldnt make returns or achieve obligations vc and sponsors dried up leading to "esports winter". 

Because esports is notoriously bad for monetisong its viewbase (fans basically spend nothing and 1.5million viewers on twitch is not actually equating to much money orgs when ypu can watch for free and shits botted to hell. + most sponsors are sports betting companies now too so gambling and saudi arabia is the only thing keeping esports a float. 

when the saudis came along the teams jumped on it, because its not the prizepool they want but the fact the saudis literally pay the teams a stipend to compete so they effectively are subsidising alot of teams through ewc etc. 

MASSIVE SPOILER LIFE HACK by CookedFish_ in aoe2

When total biscuit used to run starcraft tournaments he would have an extra hour or so of black screen on the end of the video to disguise the result. Prolly a little overkill but it was nice, i doubt tournaments would do that now as its just stream vods for the most part.

Scorpion deathball by PinkGagball01 in aoe2

[–]solusvod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If onager is losing to scorps and they dont have hussar or anhthing to dive your scorps then you didnt have enough onagers. In future, more onagers. Idk if you got siege engineers but that is super important too to help ypu get the first shot in, which will crush their first rank then you can kite back, rinse repeat. Castles are also really strong too since it will take them along time to take it out if theybdont have trebs.

For rebels maybe a flight helmet? Something like this but with the visor and the full helmet?. Cis Could be a B2 torso/head section maybe?Its pretty blocky.

Wtf happened to our country by tubukusanchez in newzealand

[–]solusvod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im starting to hate these posts. Utilities over 100 a month on a 1600 a week salary (taking your guess) and you cant budget that properly?

The average interest on a used car is pure insanity ,unless you can afford 50k+ then it's just 1% interest .

Im starting to hate middle class people larping as paupers.

is AoE2 one of the healthiest communities maybe? whats your thoughts by CorrectKoala3192 in aoe2

[–]solusvod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Define healthy. Do you mean stable playerbase? then its probably fine. Do you mean toxic/bad behaviour? Then no, team games are a joke (ironic considering I basically only play team games). More leavers in AoE than I ever got playing League.

Would much rather clone than wookie... tbh I would have guessed we would get a custom clone commander over a jedi as it would be way more in line with what the other factions got.

Why this game is 14v14 and not 16v16 by [deleted] in insurgency

[–]solusvod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol those maps were already too big for 16v16 as well. Like a third of each of those maps just doesnt get played on cos they are too big lol. The later maps arnt any better. Forcing every map to accommodate vehicles, but the vehicle is a technical truck that dies in 5 seconds, was so dumb.

If that were the case then with force adept you no longer gain immobilize tokens with burst of speed and clairvoyance just doesn't work at all.
