Tournaments

Don't just have the winner, have both players for a post game interview. The level of play has been so insane that it would be very enlightening to have both players' perspectives about their mindgames and strategies.

How to see who we matched with in ranked lader before the game begins. I saw hera telling us he matched with a random 1620 don satur. How does he know the name and elo before the game even begins. I check my enemies elo after the game ends. Can we see our enemies elo before the game begins.

I’m looking for a biggest Map to host a 4v4 with friends, but before making one that has all the features we want, I wanted to see if anyone already make one with these,

Arena with Black Forest, and lots of cliffs. Relic behind a Gaia or trees or stone/gold. Because there will be 2+ ways to win, relic/wonder(3x) time. Since biggest map. And deathmatch. Around 300 pop. We are looking for a long long game.

today, to play NAC maps, I have installed a mod for playing nac maps. However, in all of them, the game starts with nine villagers. i want to start with 3 villagers in the standard way. How can I do that?

Opened wall+scouts, opp went lots of spears+skirms. Went knight+scorps & we both played defensively. Heavy scorp+lightcav+treb seems to be best comp. I teched into legionary which turned out to be a mistake.

Would you simply play scorps+LC to snipe onagers+trebs?

It was a disappointing DLC for me, what are your thoughts on it?

Just started playing Age of Empires II on xbox and I have a few questions, I've tried to look these up on google to limited results so any help would be greatly appreciated. Loving the game so far but a bit confused on some of the mechanics.

1. How do allies work? Do I need to send someone to the city in order to ally with them and change the diplomacy status? I'm thinking about the third mission in William Wallace. How do I trade with them and what does the diplomacy status actually do?

2. I've read that usually the population limit is 75, so should I focus mainly on having around 40 villagers/35 military? 35 people doesn't sound like a lot to take over a whole city lol Can the limit ever increase during normal gameplay?

3. How do I change a villagers role? I've noticed sometime I can d-pad up to select all unassigned villagers and other times that option isn't available, when i select an individual they will have a different title like farmer, miner, etc. is this just relevant to what job they've been assigned or is it actually a seperate villager I need to create? Also how useful are the preset villager focus roles? (can't remember the name of this exactly but it's like a menu where you select what you want them to auto focus on, defense, naval, military, etc.)

4. From what I understand there are 4 ages you can progress through, what is the difference between them? I've noticed there's different research upgrades you can do but that's about the only difference I can think of

I know this is a long post and I'll keep trying to find answers to this on my own just hoping this sub could help me out.

Just mildly curious as to why Vinchester flag is white in the current NAC tournament, , is it the organisers who banned it, or did vinch himself choose to not show it? The reason I ask is, I think it would harsh & unfair if organisers did that against his choice, but if it's his own choice that's cool of course. Because Vinchester is a great guy and the war in Ukraine is nothing to do with him, we're all plebs at the end of day who have no say in which countries our leaders decide to have wars with.

The Folwark incentivizes placing farms in the 9x9 area surrounding it so Poles can get their food bonus. That means 8 farms per mill, assuming perfect consistency.

The TC doesn't benefit from this, but if you don't put your farms around it (at least 8), you get a weird sort of negative space that's only useful for TC-walling.

Is the ideal play something like an 8-TC, 8-Folwark farm setup going into the castle age, skipping wheelbarrow and using shift-farming to put them on a second folwark in mid-castle?

I was so proud of myself when I played Sicillians lately as I made an OP strategy that consist of protecting my wood and gold with a dungeon and boom safely in my base or dungeon drop if opponent is not aggressive. I found out that Hera made a video about it a year ago and Viper use it frequently when he plays the civ.

How do I go about downloading maps like double arena or the Black Forest that is used in tournament mode? These maps look enjoyable and change the pace of things but I can’t seem to find them on the Xbox. Help please

I thought it was kinda funny but maybe I need to touch some actual grass and a bit less ingame grass one Age days

Massive shout-out to Liereyy. All 5 of his opponents in the group stage would end up in the playoffs. (TheViper, Hera, Hearttt, Yo, and Vinch) Super tough path and he played really well to make semis!

Hi, I have recently started playing rts games and aoe2 and aoe 4 instantly caught my attention. Problem is, i have to stay in a military dormitory and must use their wifi which is....utter trash.

So i had to drop aoe4 from my wishlist as thats mainly multi focused. But how is single player in aoe2. Can i see myself playing this game for a long time single player only and if so, what exactly does the single player offer?

Ty for your time. Have a great day!

This is the dumbest idea of DE. Why we have to play with 9-10 different maps in a month ? I am tired of trying to figure out new maps. I dont want to play nomad ( which is i know); banning nomad and had to play mega random nomad. I am banning arabia and had to play rune stone (which i have highist win rate in my stats but i dont want to play ). I am banning baltic and had to play marsh. If i dont want to play arabia then i dont want to play similar maps either but i cant ban both of them since if i ban arabia ; i have to play nomad or arena for 2832938 match because most of the community wants to play nomad or arena. Why we have this stupid map pool system. Vanilla SP has 130 maps: Why we dont have 130 map and 129 ban rights in ranked so players can play whatever they want? It can cause elo inflation with current elo,i agree but its pretty easy to fix: Just give less and less elo per victory in same map.

Hey all,

I am curious to learn what circumstances you consider before deciding what to open? As you re all familiar, the following are some common openings:

• Scout Opening

• 1 Range Archers

• 2 Range Archers

• Scouts into CA

• Scouts into Double Stable Knights

• MAA Into Archers

• Drush into Archers

As a 1100 player, I am realizing that one-tricking your way into climbing the ladder does not work. But my biggest gripe is deciding what to open when. I am familiar with most build orders but can't really decide under what circumstances I should open what.

My favorite opening is Scouts, but I find that even though -- with Georgians -- I can easily produce 4-5 scouts by minute 10-11, with 17 pop no loom, and this is possibly the fastest scout opening, I still get steamrolled by a Goth's player or a Meso civ who does MAA + Spear + Eagle, for example.

I also do not know when I should go for Scouts into double range CA vs scouts into double stable Knights.

Just curious, for any experienced players (1600+), what circumstances do you consider when deciding what to open and what to tech into?

Quiero adaptar la hotkeys de age of empires 2 definitive edition al age of empires 2 age of kings. Alguien tiene los hotkeys adaptados?

Played my first team games over the last few days, and twice I have encountered this combination. Given there are 45 civs, the mathematics on this happening twice seems pretty weird. Especially as they seem to do the same thing in both.

Also it was different people in each time.

how do you lure deer with scput under tc in the current version? it lools like it always resets to original location after a while

Is that Matt Berry's voice I hear doing the adverts in the NAC coverage?

If not, then whos voice is it?
