hi im new to the game and i am really enjoying using ballista's. i was wondering what the best civilization for using ballista's is. if there is not a direct civ bonus to them, what civs synergizes well with them?

thx for the help - void

I remember playing age of empires 1 when i was kid with a specific campaign, cant remember if it is an official campaign or a custom one, but you start the game with an already sizeable town and immediately to the north your ships are being attacked by the enemy ships, if you go north east you will find hidden ally units which you can bring back - there are i think atleast 2 enemy npc teams, anyone know this one ?

I found out on Liquidpedia that they have a ton of content over there. With past and future tournaments coming up. Except none of the videos seem viewable.

For me it would be that Palmy gets Metallurgy. That way their camels are fully upgraded and possibly worth using against Cataphracts.

Trying to get back into the game and been having fun. However finding content on Age of Empires that's not 2, 3 or 4 is difficult.

Hello:

I'm the developer of Age Lan Server (formely known as AoE2 DE Lan Server) and I've just released v1.6.0 which adds support for Age of Empires: Definitive Edition.

The provided server reimplements the official aoe-api.worldsedgelink.com master server (with the provided launcher which modifies temporarily the PC configuration - not game files - to connect to it) for LAN-only purposes).

The goals for the project are:

• LAN play without internet at all.
• Game can still be played in LAN mode even if official servers shutdown.

With this software there is hopefully one less barrier for OG version players to transition to DE :)

Enjoy and report any bugs you find ;)

Disclaimer: This server/launcher combo in no way bypasses any license check as that is done in the game (client) side.

as title said, im using upatch hd and i applied unlimited farm food mod and started a game, tried ctrl 1 S hotkey like classic ror but didnt work, anyone know how to fix

I was wondering, games after 1997 had units walk closer to each other to form groups when you tell them where to go. but here in age of empires 1 DE units stay the same format they were. so I pick 5 soldiers and tell them to go somewhere and they will keep the same distance from each other, they won't group together closer while moving to the location.

is there a way to fix this?

Hello there,

Okay to start, I have no tech-y experience whatsoever so I'm desperate for help on how to fix the definitive edition, I just want to play AoE but I just can't wrap my head around what's wrong with it and how to fix it. I can start the game through Steam and it pops up and it plays through the intro vids and opens to the main menu, the problems start then, when I open the drop down menus some of the background images disappear and they blend over each other and sometimes i'm left with complete black screens, and then when I try and run a skirmish the game crashes. What does that mean?!

I'm playing on a Dell Laptop, 64bit Windows 11, using an Intel R Pentium silver N5030 CPU processor, using a DirectX12 driver(?), and that's about it really?

Any help would be amazing, cheers folks

Yesterday I asked what the best beginner Civ is, due to the many great answers I got, I now want you to rank ALL Civilizations by your own preferences. And if you want you can explain in a sentence or two why you think about that Civ the way you do. Have fun I’m looking forward to your rankings 🥳

What are the best Civs to begin with ?

ego and gplay have many players

gplay has a special tournament for non-professional gamers

My fiancee and I tried to play together but within 20 minutes we get out of sync errors.

We tried 6 different games and always we got that out of sync error.

Anyone got a solution?

I've AoE II D.E., and AoE II Conquerors. Both in PC, but the last one by Voobly. I don't really play ranked, and I'm pretty chill. If someone want to play, I speak Spanish, French and a little bit of English. Send me a message ! :)
