Alcohols for that feeling? Also general AoE2 thread.

I never feel like i've turned the corner in goths, but it sure is rewarding when the death ball gets going

The correct play would be to harass the opponent first, then boom.

Learn to wall off early if you don't already do.
To stay on topic, why does everyone I play forget about Spanish archers in feudal age and just panic when i get to their vills?

It was Hideout, I didn't expect them to suddenly appear from the other side, through my teammate's backyard and slice my palisade.

Did he do anything to alert you? At worst you could have made some pikes, but if didn't say anything he is just an ass. Hideout does have some funky tree lines if you spawn too close to your enemy.

host pls

I can host if you want to play

He did nothing, and my barracks was pumping m@a

friendly bump

shame I missed the game, any mongol bros here?

mongol bro reporting in, but i'm new to the game & genre and can't beat moderate AI. it's annoying because moderate is too big of a jump from the previous AI to play against & win, but the previous AI level is so fucking easy i feel like a baby. what should i be focusing on to get better? pls dont say keep town center active @ all times cause i am always trying to do that but i need more tips then that

That was... A fun game we've just played.

Seriously DE has so many quality of life improvements it's impossible to go back.

I only like that game because it looks lovely, reminds me of childhood and i always play single player and i cheat
Ai cheats too
I cant gookclick against gooks and gook wannabee trannies that watch degenerate shit like animetses
Not my thing
I like to build nice looking towns and shit, build a dock on a smaller lake and have a fishing ahip on it
Or save the trees and whatnot
It gets booring too fast now, im too old

>I cant gookclick against gooks and gook wannabee trannies
Most of the players don't do that

>Saw Zig Forums lobby up
>But also playing matchmaking with friends
You guys enjoy booming to imp 11

Daut comes here?

Ask him on stream

I should watch matches from his POV more often, the guy is too likeable and funny.

Any general advice for a player who started with DE and after 400 ranked games got from 700 to 1100 Elo?

I'd advise against playing like that, the Goths can do all rushes with above average performance, be it scouts, archers or even knights
do some harassing, then boom
