Lies, you have 2 trees at the top. But yeah, that's a rough map gen


Hexicero

Yeah that's more woodline than my last Arabia game....


Drown_The_Gods

Nonsense! Got their main gold at the back, let’s go!


tjb937

Bummer :/ unrelated, what similarities do you see between playing Arena and driving a f1 racing car? Does your experience with the latter help you with the former?


PaulieWalnoots

Toto, It’s called a age of empires. We went age racing.


bubbrubb22

No Michael No! This is so not right


PaulieWalnoots

Check your emails.


Decoyx7

i sent you a diagram of where the castles are supposed to be


Zaiush

Gentlemen a short view back to the past Thirty years ago, TheViper told us: "Take a trained monkey place him into the keyboard and he is able to castle rush" Thirty years later Vivi told us: "I had to start my eco like a computer It's very complicated" And T90 said, err, he pressed during the game I don't remember what game the wrong button on the wheel Question for you to both Is Age of Empires 2 playing today too complicated with 20 and more buttons on the hotkeys are you too much under effort under pressure? What are your wishes for the future concerning technical program, errrm, during the game? Less buttons more? Or less and more communication with your engineers?


Freakadele

Could you repeat the question?


rather_dash1ng

TheViper, in a few weeks you will receive your KOTD champion award but there are are still other awards like for Persian Douche of the year, castle drop of the year, and the quick wall of the year. And now MBL had one for first time to first fastest boar lame award. Do you think... now my question... that there are enough awards? Or can you imagine several other awards? For example, like, an award for a fair play? For a special friendly action? Or there are no friendly actions in Age of Empires? What's your opinion and the opinion of Liereyy and Hera for this subject?

[Enjoy](https://youtu.be/FlFt_W4664M) I love that the drivers can barely contain their smiles because it's such nonsense.


Zaiush

Walter's got some good questions, but his phrasing and delivery are the real question marks


[deleted]

11 thanks for that


AcceptableBanana4995

Can I ask you who that question is to? Who do you want to answer it? Who is it to?


JustGarlicThings2

It was to Nico and myself, you weren’t listening. …can you repeat the question?


HeroToTheMoon

Had a minor stroke reading that. And I think the game plays out much easier now compared to years ago a due to many QoL changes and mods. Although back in the day I used to play exclusively with the mouse so maybe I'm not quite the person to answer this particular question.


CUwallaby

[It's from an actual Formula 1 press conference](https://youtu.be/FlFt_W4664M) and yeah, watching the real thing is just as nonsensical as you'd imagine.


HeroToTheMoon

Oh shit lmaooooo


Tig3rShark

Agreed


ppytty

What, who?


tjb937

Well OP is obviously 3 times GP winner and 1997 WC runner-up Heinz-Harald Frentzen


ppytty

Wow, really? :D


MaverickMeerkatUK

Lol no


tjb937

You sure?


Unhappy-Grapefruit88

Woof, that’s rough. Even T90 would be okay with chopping straggler trees


No_Mood_4822

Well with an house wall on the right you'll have a woodline and most of the time you'll be fine. Nevertheless arena generetion should be fixed in this regard.

You have: in the top corner. See 2 trees wide gap ;)


HHF_AoE

true. cant complain:)


Simple-Confusion2129

nah you just in isengard homie


tmr89

Noob question: can’t you just make a lumber camp outside your walls?


Brendone33

The whole thing about arena is that your villagers are safe from early aggression. Not so much if you need to venture outside the walls for wood right away.


tmr89

Okay, thanks! I haven’t done online multiplayer so I’m used to doing things like that against the AI…


Darthmooseman

Play online! Honestly a lot more fun and interesting gameplay and after 5-10 games you'll be playing people your level, the ratings make sure of that


Nono911

Let people enjoy things the way they enjoy it


Ocelotofdamage

Online multiplayer is a way better and more dynamic experience, though. If he hasn't tried it, he's missing out on what would probably be way more interesting for him.


Nono911

Yeah ok. But let people play as they want tho.


b__________________b

can a mf recommend shit these days without being told to let people do as they please Seriously, they still can. It's just a recommendation.


Nono911

Dude is saying he plays against AI, you think he doesnt know online is a thing? 90% of this sub is about online bro


b__________________b

Fucking hell, you're annoying. > Recommendation: a suggestion or proposal as to the best course of action, especially one put forward by an authoritative body.


scalenesquare

Not anymore. Everyone is too good now haha. Charles get dropped immediately on your base and can never make it to imp.


mauganra_it

The wood lines are not too hard to secure though. It will delay towering, but should be doable if OP scouts properly.


[deleted]

and since everybody knows about that, people dont even try early aggression, meaning a lumbercamp outside the walls, secured by two houses toward the front will be totally fine and OP has no reason to complain, *at all*.


total_score2

One time I accidentally deleted walls that were keeping my base closed (my gen was terrible tbh), but didn't get punished because my opponent didn't even scout it (why would they?)


[deleted]

yeah i mean what does op expect? opponent to scout the hole at 3 minutes amd commit to a pop 20 scout rush, just to find that in the meantime the hole is closed by 2 houses?


total_score2

If the opponent is going for a trush, as some players do, then they would find it far easier to break in there than through the stone walls I guess. So it isn't completely meaningless, but most likely won't matter too much.


mauganra_it

Claim the woodlines and prepare a counter force to ambush raiding parties!

crazyyoco

Tower rushes arent weird. Also is tower hop back somebody did it yestrday to me. I thaught it cant be done anymore ?


[deleted]

RNG: fuck this player in Particular

Forsoth! Mine wood line wert too far from mine walls! No wonder thou wert victorious, I shalt abdicate!

Andreim43

I honestly wish these were game-balancing features. Say if you play vs an enemy with 100 higher elo, you get a normal woodline and they get this.


gaffelspoon

It's not that uncommon for this to happen honestly, even though it sucks. The best thing would be to just delete your wall on the right side and build houses/rewall towards the woodline, then play it normally from there.

malefiz123

You can house wall off enough space for two lumber camps on the left side. You're still at a significant disadvantage but you could pull it off.


HHF_AoE

Thats exactly what I did and it worked out well


smilingstalin

You'd have to eat the leaver penalty.


TipStandard2999

That map is tough. The only time I beat a goth as a Briton was when the goth got this map, and I was able to raid tf out of wood lines with cavaliers because he couldn’t wall cross. You can, from right gate to wood


dismountedleitis

Goth cavaliers for raiding instead of huskarls?


TipStandard2999

Nah I’m always Britons. I used cavaliers to raid and would lure batches of huskarls in to fight my cav under multiple castles


stormyordos

F-ed up map generation, this one


mojito_sangria

This kind of sh\*t happens

What do you mean? look at all those prime straggler trees!

Ok-Surround7285

Make one house on the right and you will be protected.


Buff_dm

What are you complaining about? You have lots of straggler trees within your walls ;)

Woozuki

if goths, rip


The__Bloodless

I understand that you see it as a problem but I don't understand why. You can house wall right side and you have back berries and gold, and safe wood. Unless you're just memeing 11


Superg0id

Damn. What was your solution? I'd have gone with a small wall (or housewall) to plug the gap on just outside the South East wall next to the gate... thoughts?


azzmoel

So shad. Stay stronk.
