Is this a bug or what happened? I'm at under 500 points

I was watching Valdy's video on Micro & Unit Comps. In it he talked about a micro trainer:
https://aimtrainer.io/challenge

Valdy mentioned that you should at least be able to hit 30 targets.

I’ve now done the challenge several times in a row. I typically hit around 8 targets, and my record is 12 so far.

Or why I lose every single fight if I don’t have an army advantage.

Hi

Recently I've played a game against zhuxi. We both went for early deer, we both went FC. The difference is that my opponent was able to get out 2 horsemans, and still age up faster than my naked FC (no tower, no spears, 2 on wood for houses. I got 650 gold before units came for dark age spear upgrade).

I aged up with Burger to match tempo but I got 2 relics anyway (one bonus prelete from tc). Don't get me wrong, my opponent was definitely better but that was one of the few times I thought "that civ sucks".

What are your tactics or builds to make hre works? Is it under tuned and needs buffs or you get some tactics that work in the current meta?

Mangudai in action. 😎

I'm not playing team games but I think that in the previous season we had 5 placement battles in team ranked games.

Why is it only one? Like if you win you go to gold and if you lose you go to bronze ? Placement doesn't really matter but still

I have been playing this game for almost an year, single player. Loved campaigns and ai skirmishes. Initially i found skirmishes difficult to win but i kept learning and playing. I noticed most of the talks in this sub have been regarding multiplayer, so i gave it a try few times. Played some 1v1 matches many months back, lost every match badly in first few minutes, then stopped, because I thought i need to learn more, then recently played some matches again, and finally realized that multiplayer is not for me.

I realized it's not just about learning and being better, it's also about the attitude and goal of playing. The focus in multiplayer matches is completely on finishing the game as quickly as possible. Everytime the opponent rushed in with a proper army within 7-8 mins maximum. It is completely against the reason and style of play i like. I would need to completely change my style and attitude of play to have a chance in surviving those matches, let alone winning. I decided i won't try those matches again anytime soon.

Serious question

Hiya gamers of all ranks! Are you twitching to get your ranked games going again? To get that sweat on your forehead going while your opponent rushes your gold mine? Look no further, I've got a fix for you.

See, I've been working on A Funky Grudge League for the last little while, and am looking for players to get this truly going.
What is this league, you may ask? This is a fun, low key 1v1 grudge league where Bronze and Conq players alike are welcomed.

The way it works, people sign up to the league and can just challenge other players in it. Each challenge is a Bo3 series. There is also going to be a weekly matchmaking system with rotating maps. Results are added to the league system (Spreadsheet I created) which impact an independent elo score (see the League Discord for detailed rules).

As the league is in its infancy, I'm looking for players to kick it off the ground! There is no money involved, just pride, banter and bragging rights. There will be Streamers casting these games too; we're working on that part (if you'd like to participate in that, feel free to reach out to me).

If you're interested, join the Funky Discord, and head to the league section to sign up (subject to review and approval). Looking forward to seeing you crush your opponents!

This is not to say they're OP or not, that gold heavily controls them, and knights can focus them down in isolation.

But 1800 res worth of condo, vs 2400 of knight, and includes the charge, and both sides with full upgrades. Condos also have the damage bonus from antioch.

So while they cost more gold (800 more gold) they win cost effectively vs FU generic knights.

On a similar point I really hope at some point devs include the heavy tag on their unit interaction so xbows at least do full damage to them(currently the label is only in name, but not in effect). Or we get a few units with "anti medium" added to their stats(maybe even MAA gain bonus vs medium?), and things like Freeborn can gain the medium tag.

In aoe2, they eventually added a unit class called "shock infantry" and MAA types gained a bonus vs them. Which allows devs more control over the balance of all units involved

Hi

Is ranked back, if not then when exactly

When i play games randomly some games never show to the game history so i can never see the replays. iv tried every trick nothing works i think its a server issue, really annoying because im curious about some games and than cant see the opponents pov. Man i wish they had the aoe 3 record game where it was internal not relying on game servers.

I haven't been playing Mongols much since the nerfs but decided to give them a shot in team games.

What is the current best opening in 2v2/3v3/4v4? Is it tower rush? Dark age horsemen rush? Fast Keshiks? Are Mangudai still relevant in team games?

Any Mongols main care to share your build?

Myriad was great casting for EGCTV yesterday, a nice pair with Socerton. Myriad's casting is great given his insight as a high level player but I think his interviews are even better.

He asks thoughtful questions, gives the players a chance to speak without interrupting, it almost feels like we are watching a conversation they're having the two of them after a training match

Very cool. Keep it up!

yes i have no patience!

Hey all!

How'd your season go? Did you earn a new higher rank? Pick up a new civ? Learn anything in general about the game?

What's the funniest thing that happened this season while playing?

Do you have goals for your next season?

Comment down below with your story!

as a French knight main (and lowly gold player) , I never know what the heck I am charging into lol
