You can also hold shift and add more barracks/etc that did not fit on the screen, as the doubleclick only selects visible buildings/units. So lets say I have 5 barracks in the east, 2 in the north and 4 in the south, I can combine them all in one control group(ctr + number). Perfect for spamming etc. It also helps a lot with keeping up production while focusing elsewhere.
Hey resonance22. I just wanna say how much I appreciate you man, I’ve been playing ae2 as long as I can remember and despite that watching your videos has seriously helped me step up my game. So just thank you for being you man, your awesome
been watching your videos all morning after deciding to get back into aoe 2 again as i heavily played it during my childhood and can see i have a lot to learn so thx for making all these great tutorials they have been really helpful and im happy to see that the community is still around to day after all these years
for someone who has played age of empires 1 and 3 since childhood (against bots), I found this vide extremely helpful. Although I already kinda new a lot of it from playing pokemon on showdown, applying it to AoE is another beast. Great tutorial for us newbies. Cheers
I just suck at multi-tasking... always tend to hyper-focus on a single aspect of the game (military, wood gathering, scouting) rather than do it all at the same time
Think best game I had was 2v2 with my friends me and my teammate ruled keep enemy on their island with sheer numbers of boats and when they weren't paying attention landed about doze siege ongers and clear cut the other half the forest off the island and they didn't notice till after I finished. All the sudden hear across the house "Where the fu** did all our trees go!?".
You not only have an amazing voice but great insights into this game. Thank you for these videos. As someone trying to learn the game this is a fantastic set of resources for a player to take.
THANK YOU so much for this video, it was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Keep adding new tutorials, I want to see everything!! lol Could you focus on unit micro management next? That would be really helpful =]
Hy. Just a little help with the gate struggles: If there is a building right infront of the wanted gate location the game will not let you build it there :) Great vids, i love your videos because they are intelligent, fun and entertaining :D Cheers
in my opinion it depends on the map and the number of players. if the map is BF you can build a wall and make america great... no wait that was something different. i mean if you can scout, you look at your enemy first of all. try to adapt on his typ of play. if he rushes, build units early, if he goes full-on-booming, do the same thing, or try a rush yourself. scouting is key.
Borium you probably just have to build several military buildings. 1 bareks 1 stable 1 archery range and 1 siege workshop isn’t enough to get 100 military fast enough. Get at least 3 of each, which will be easy with 100 vils
24:00 if i use shift to build multiple farms with multiple villagers they wont spread evenly over the farms and start farming. Is there a way that they automaticly start working on open farm spots?
Congratulations on your video. Your voice is great and I couldn't have done a better job teaching new players. I couldn't help but notice some mistakes though (my opinion): 1) You should have built your third TC before stone walling (avoiding the use of the market to buy stone) and speeding up your vill production; 2) You could have done a better micro with your vills - especially the lumberjacks; 3) Researching ballistics was a huge mistake since it is expensive and does not affect onagers! It does affect castles and TC's, of course, but you were in a offensive position so it wouldn't make a big difference. Up chemistry instead! I'm just trying to help here btw. Keep the good job!
Ive got same problem i think in my lapttop i will not be able to play in this zoom .. still struggling to find how can i change settings to play like this..
for the beggining. if you live in a economy type game. and plan on building trade routes and protection, here is my recc. 4-5 lumberjacks. with saw stop. (for bonus trading) 3 gold miners with mine. (troop prod.) 2 stone miners with mine. (upgrades and etc.) and 8 square with middle mill farm strat.(inf food. plus good trading material. you should try to use wood though. for when you hit war its most of what you need.)
Can you give some good examples of reliable couplings that people can use? Like, would archers and halberds be a good idea to cover each others weaknesses, or would they be too vulnerable to siege?
But what if the enemy comes with bombard cannons and hand canoniers in this case? Isn't it safer to wait for 3 different army types, like add some horses, or is it better to attack earlier and add some other units later in the game
Hey Res, what do you think about the gamemode Nomad? and if you like it, would you consider uploading a commentary giving us your thoughts, decisions, tactics and whatsoever? thx & stay heavy ;)
I love to play Nomad, but I don't often play it on stream because the matches typically turn out to be extremely one-sided. It's pretty easy for a player to get picked off in Nomad really early on by building too close to an enemy or being surrounded, so they tend to devolve into a 3v4 or something rather quickly. That and not everyone knows how to play Nomad so it's harder to balance the teams. Lastly, resource distribution can be a tad unfair as well on occasion. Still though it's fun to play. :) The next version of my AI will feature a Land Nomad map. Here is a Nomad match that I played a while back: Aoe2 HD "The Forgotten": 4v4 Land Nomad (Franks, Forward Castle Drop) (11/25/13)
Really liked this video, but my favorite was probably the 1v1 Arabia SilentSpring vs. TheViper game 2... I discovered your channel a week ago and im really enjoying it. Can you make a Wall Rush video tutorial or a Galley Rush tutorial? I was wondering how to make those. Thanks and congratulations on this really nice chanel
Sorry, this is a really stupid question, but why don't my farms look like that? They look just like they did when I played this game in the 90s. Is there some patch I don't have?
While the Celts are undoubtedly quite powerful, they are most certainly beatable on Black Forest. The entire point of this video is to explain to you how to do it. :) My opponent simply had a much weaker economy, poor micro, and ill-advised unit choices. If he had a stronger economy, micro'd his Mamelukes properly and built Bombard Cannons he would have made short work of my army. More often than not, when a player feels as though they cannot defeat their opponent's army it is because they are neglecting the concepts that I cover in this tutorial. Every civilization has many strengths and weaknesses and it is up to the player to either take advantage of those or inevitably get steamrolled.
Resonance22Channel Cool, thanks for the response. Any chance of future videos covering the different strategies of different maps? I would love to see a strategy video for baltic or any other land/water map. I find them the most tactically challenging.
I know this is months old but on the contrary, Black Forest is a fairly simple map which allows a new player to focus on the important bits... the micro, the econ, the decisionmaking... rather than trying to do all that whilst playing a randomized map. I think once someone has the overall process down, it's easier to go to a new map or type of map and say "OK, how do I adjust what I've learned to work in *this* context?" But hey, different strokes for different folks.
I played with you last week and had the same problem you mentioned in the video. The other teams best player had longbowmen and his ally was backed up with some other infantry, and I couldn't think of a way to possibly defeat him with the Celts. I went with scorpions and got rocked. I never recovered. I should have gone Onagers, but I was worried that his ally would charge while his longbowmen picked them off. I've never felt so helpless.
The half pop as vills only really applies to 1v1s. In bigger team games, I think maybe 45% of you population should be vills, 15% be Trade Carts, and the rest be military. So in a 2v2 of 300 max pop, you should have around 135 vills (between building, farming, lumber jacks, and some miners until you transition into carts, then back into wood/farms), then about 45 trade carts, and the rest into units.
i have a problem i always play my brother and he always picks Persians but i have no idea how to counter his elephants they just demolish everything and are hard to kill
depends, on castle age, a straight formation infantry can be countered pretty well by onagers or scorpions, because of the splash damage, also cavalry archers work pretty well
I mean this in the nicest way possible: Your pronunciation of Halberdiers is wrong. It's not pronounced Hal-bird-ee-ers, it's pronounced Hal-bird-eers. Not sure if it's a subconscious thing, as I tend to do the same without realizing sometimes but hope that helps! Great tutorial, btw. It's helped me get back into this game and really think about different strategies to implement.
Why isn't the unexplored map black? Is this some standard online setting where you see everything? Why not put all the sheeps close to the town hall and kill them? Why take one at a time? Also why not kill all deers at once and then farm them? Can't they run away? I'm noob :c
Viktor Svensson Don´t worry :) Everyone was a beginner at the beginning. Now, to answer you questions: 1.)You can adjust the map view in the options, when you start a new game. Simply look for (I think it´s called) "Reveal Map" and set it to "Explored", to get the same result as Resonance22. But, because I assume that you are new at the game, I would select "All Visible", to see the other´s plans and learn from them. 2.) and 3.)If you make sure, that the villagers only collect food from only one sheep/deer/boar, you will get more food from them, because hunted animals loose food over time. Glad, I could help and good luck in you future games.
+Viktor Svensson You can think of decay as one extra villager working against you. So if you have 4 villagers on an animal, there's a 5th collecting for himself - you'll get roughly 80% of the food. If you have 9 villagers you'll get 90%. Usually, you use 6 on sheep (mostly because you use those right at the start and you need at least 6 to keep villager production going), up to 9 on boar and 4 on a deer (or 3 if they are close to a mill or TC) Also, it's good only to have two sheep under your TC, one being harvested and the next one to be killed, but it's not that bad if you have multiple under there. If you find it difficult to do many things at once and forget your sending your sheep in, feel free to send several sheep and focus on something else. The difference is not huge.
+aic561 Unless you start in the imperial age with a crapton of resources, I don't think there will be (or rather, there SHOULDN'T be) any boar left on the map by the time the bombard cannons start rolling around!
great, helped me a lot. can i download age of empires hd edition from torrent. how to update my aoe 2. i have older version. i dont even have the civilizations of huns, azetic etc. i cant connect to multiplayer. how to update my version of aoe 2. say soon
Not true about only having a army of scouts I've been slaughtered by wave after wave after wave of them things cause i could not build my spearman up in time so they do have a bit of a blitz going for them.
Mayans can't stop a fully boomed goth player. you have to all-in them early. However, this is the most lopsided late-game scenario in the entire game. Although there is some other problematic ones.
isn't very risky to wait to make your economy stable and not make any soldiers to fight? I mean at the start even 2 or 3 units could kill many of your villagers and destroy your economy
yeah it was my mistake to make a comment before the video is finished. I forgot that I wrote that comment. After I saw the whole video everything made sense
Was it spirit of law who did video about when should you upgrade wheel barrel . . . there was this magical number . . . I just can't remember what it was, my only guess is 47 but could be more or less. My experience playing AoE 2 knowing this is still losing to medium bots when I'm using the AI mod ^_^ I'm just too unexperienced so my villagers get to watch clouds :D
there is no such magical number i think. IMO you should do it when you have a decent eco allready or you get housed... some players dont even do that upgrade before Imp
hello liked this video my favorites are how to beat the AI on hardest and Knight rush. I use a tower rush to beat the computer on hardest in tiny Arabia. I still would like to know what your Hot key habits are. My meager one are 1 for scout and 2 for tc but after that I have no clear plan I do hot key the front usually a forward tower. I am sucking against human opponents if my tower rush doesn't work I am usually finished. What is a good way to practice. Should I just keep playing the computer on hardest and try to out boom the computer. I play 1 v 1 on tiny Arabia. I don't play on water maps. I want to make tiny Arabia my home map. I am currently working on my fast feudal got it under 8 minutes. But this is a low pop all or nothing strategy. on twitch I am travismcserge or travisslipf18. I am now using sheeps to scout. there is a fast feudal on you tube at 5;46 min that I am currently imitating. I have used your knight rush to beat the computer on hard. Fun.
ok i came up with a way to improve my speed and that is by playing the computer on easiest and playing playing against the time limit minimum 200 years I think. I already incresed my opening score from 1700 to 2400 plus. I am a timer geek
travismcserge once I plateau I will increase my time limit or change my difficulty level i am trying to habitualize things. So that when I am being attacked the eco is automatic and my small macro decisions will be better. Sorry to editorialize but i use this game as a Psychological management experiment .
thanks to your videos I whoop my friends ass easily with fast castle knight rush ! He always picks Goths but cant get to imperial :) Kill the vills . Thanks for your help keep up the great vids!
30:42 Double-click the barracks to select all barracks. Then start queuing units. It'll spread them out evenly over all barracks.
Myst you just saved my life god bless you
Also hold shift to que 5 units at a time
You can also hold shift and add more barracks/etc that did not fit on the screen, as the doubleclick only selects visible buildings/units. So lets say I have 5 barracks in the east, 2 in the north and 4 in the south, I can combine them all in one control group(ctr + number). Perfect for spamming etc. It also helps a lot with keeping up production while focusing elsewhere.
lol I have played this for god knows how long and I still didn't know this ridiculously useful thing.
troll option:
1. choose britons
2. wait until opponent builds skirms and magonels
3. rush knghts
4. secretly produce mass longbows + pikes and siege
5. profit
or the other guy makes huskarls and create few longbows and secretly mass champion and gg : D
Works against noobs but not pros :D
dont rush B
thats not even troll thats a nice mindgame lol

have you become better at it or have you abandoned this mastery?
you explained just so mutch things in that one video , thank you res , we can all se that you're doing something that you love
Think best game I had was 2v2 with my friends me and my teammate ruled keep enemy on their island with sheer numbers of boats and when they weren't paying attention landed about doze siege ongers and clear cut the other half the forest off the island and they didn't notice till after I finished.

Lol
17:00 Military part starts.
Thanks for the video. Liked and subscribed.
AOE is such a good game. And you do such a good job of representing it.
You not only have an amazing voice but great insights into this game. Thank you for these videos. As someone trying to learn the game this is a fantastic set of resources for a player to take.
Hi, I am able to build a strong economy, but still I loose a game. Can you make a video on Military micro? My micro is very bad..:-(
Akash Gadekar Yes, that's a great idea.
yes my control of army is bad too, I can even be in Imperial in 29 minutes
+cubenerf hy sir how i can download this game in my mobile
Waqar Ahmed you can’t
lol
THANK YOU so much for this video, it was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Keep adding new tutorials, I want to see everything!! lol
Could you focus on unit micro management next? That would be really helpful =]
Hy. Just a little help with the gate struggles:
If there is a building right infront of the wanted gate location the game will not let you build it there :)
Great vids, i love your videos because they are intelligent, fun and entertaining :D
Cheers
you can always build more barracks etc, and use the economy to constantly zerg the enemy. Love it great video.
I always try to get to 100 villagers fast as possible. But can't find time to make a military. Any tips?
+Austyn Marks (BoriumsWorld) stop doing the same mistake over and over again =D try to mix things up and see how it works out.
Around what time, or how many villagers is a good moment to start producing a military?
in my opinion it depends on the map and the number of players. if the map is BF you can build a wall and make america great... no wait that was something different. i mean if you can scout, you look at your enemy first of all. try to adapt on his typ of play. if he rushes, build units early, if he goes full-on-booming, do the same thing, or try a rush yourself. scouting is key.
"build a wall and make america great... no wait that was something different"..:))) Savage
Borium you probably just have to build several military buildings.
1 bareks 1 stable 1 archery range and 1 siege workshop isn’t enough to get 100 military fast enough.
Get at least 3 of each, which will be easy with 100 vils
24:00 if i use shift to build multiple farms with multiple villagers they wont spread evenly over the farms and start farming. Is there a way that they automaticly start working on open farm spots?
if you build the farms while the mill is being built, the villagers building the mill will automatically spread among the farms after it is completed
Thank you so much. Your videos seriously help me out. Your advice is GOLDEN.
I turned from super shit to decent after watching a few if his vids
2:31 Actually you would need tons of stone to sustain war elephant production through multiple castles. love ur vids (;
I'm always looking for like a chart for unit counters to use when I'm playing
Congratulations on your video. Your voice is great and I couldn't have done a better job teaching new players. I couldn't help but notice some mistakes though (my opinion):
1) You should have built your third TC before stone walling (avoiding the use of the market to buy stone) and speeding up your vill production;

I'm just trying to help here btw. Keep the good job!
Hi mate, best regards from Spain, very well explained and very useful!! Cheers and keep up the good work!!
i have a question : how did you get your "camera" zoomed out like this? i feel like mine is more zoomed in...
It's just based on your monitor resolution. If you set your resolution higher (or get a better monitor), you'll be more zoomed out.
Jérémie Campeau-Poirier in AoE HD you get zoomed out like that. In AoC, the zoom depends on your monitor resolution
Ive got same problem i think in my lapttop i will not be able to play in this zoom .. still struggling to find how can i change settings to play like this..
its the tree mod
for the beggining. if you live in a economy type game. and plan on building trade routes and protection, here is my recc. 4-5 lumberjacks. with saw stop. (for bonus trading) 3 gold miners with mine. (troop prod.) 2 stone miners with mine. (upgrades and etc.) and 8 square with middle mill farm strat.(inf food. plus good trading material. you should try to use wood though. for when you hit war its most of what you need.)
Can you give some good examples of reliable couplings that people can use? Like, would archers and halberds be a good idea to cover each others weaknesses, or would they be too vulnerable to siege?

Yeah... I'm that guy that just learned about his out of sync error thing... Makes so much more sense now.
How do you get other graphics? Your farms look different and your trees are smaller?
+MoLetalis workshop mods, the smaller woods are called pussywoods, i dont know the rest
Hey Res, what do you think about the gamemode Nomad? and if you like it, would you consider uploading a commentary giving us your thoughts, decisions, tactics and whatsoever? thx & stay heavy ;)

This type of video makes me realize how bad I am at the game
Really liked this video, but my favorite was probably the 1v1 Arabia SilentSpring vs. TheViper game 2...
I discovered your channel a week ago and im really enjoying it.
Can you make a Wall Rush video tutorial or a Galley Rush tutorial? I was wondering how to make those.
Thanks and congratulations on this really nice chanel
Super useful guide! Thx a lot! 😀
What about sending a few militia to that choke point before your opponent can wall it and then just controlling it that way?
amazing video ! thanks for all the advices, Res !
I have Age of Empires 2 HD Edition but I can't cut trees with Onager or Trebuchets.
Also my farms are not green, they are yellow. What's wrong?
Cutting Trees with Onager and Treb was added in the Expansions. For the farms he installed a visual Mod, theres plenty of those
Where can i get an HD version key for steam? Been playing since AOK and have like three copies of the gold edition.
Would you reccomended building houses as a second layer of wall
Sorry, this is a really stupid question, but why don't my farms look like that? They look just like they did when I played this game in the 90s. Is there some patch I don't have?
+Snakie mod from steam workshop
you picked celts on BF, is there any strategy really?
While the Celts are undoubtedly quite powerful, they are most certainly beatable on Black Forest. The entire point of this video is to explain to you how to do it. :) My opponent simply had a much weaker economy, poor micro, and ill-advised unit choices. If he had a stronger economy, micro'd his Mamelukes properly and built Bombard Cannons he would have made short work of my army.

+123monkey123 Right? how about you chose a different map then Black Forest too? this doesnt help new players at all.
+Jake Leipheimer at all? really?
I know this is months old but on the contrary, Black Forest is a fairly simple map which allows a new player to focus on the important bits... the micro, the econ, the decisionmaking... rather than trying to do all that whilst playing a randomized map.

Thanks a lot for your tutorials. I have learnt a lot with them :)
No surprise here, since Batman is known for disappearing all of a sudden :P
Very thankful for that video by the way, important content!
How does he add buildings without clicking off the building? Like with farms won't have to keep going through menus
He uses hotkeys.
I played with you last week and had the same problem you mentioned in the video. The other teams best player had longbowmen and his ally was backed up with some other infantry, and I couldn't think of a way to possibly defeat him with the Celts. I went with scorpions and got rocked. I never recovered. I should have gone Onagers, but I was worried that his ally would charge while his longbowmen picked them off. I've never felt so helpless.
My teammates resigned because it was laggy and it ended up as a 3v1 and it was my 3rd online game
The half pop as vills only really applies to 1v1s. In bigger team games, I think maybe 45% of you population should be vills, 15% be Trade Carts, and the rest be military. So in a 2v2 of 300 max pop, you should have around 135 vills (between building, farming, lumber jacks, and some miners until you transition into carts, then back into wood/farms), then about 45 trade carts, and the rest into units.
i have a problem i always play my brother and he always picks Persians but i have no idea how to counter his elephants they just demolish everything and are hard to kill
focus on fast army of pikemen
Converting them also works well. One of the shortest convert times
Teutonic Knights are great counters.
my favorite video was your FFA king of the hill match :)
really great video, really clear and informative
everytime i try to raid/rush i die from troops please make a tutorial on how to rush
haahaa I know
How do you counter a infantry unit while not using a unique unit for each race?
depends, on castle age, a straight formation infantry can be countered pretty well by onagers or scorpions, because of the splash damage, also cavalry archers work pretty well
Is there an easy way to track how many of each unit you have (like villagers)?
yes. Look where the map is, in the right bottom corner click the circle button that looks like a pile of gold.
Ren, can you do a tutorial on how to wall well in team games with black forest? If you already did can you post the link plz thx!
Hey Res! How do you do that your camera is so far
Very good tutorial acualli. first game in after this 16.30 castle age AND ive los 2 VILLIGERS in feudal age
I mean this in the nicest way possible:
Your pronunciation of Halberdiers is wrong. It's not pronounced Hal-bird-ee-ers, it's pronounced Hal-bird-eers. Not sure if it's a subconscious thing, as I tend to do the same without realizing sometimes but hope that helps!
Great tutorial, btw. It's helped me get back into this game and really think about different strategies to implement.
how does he get the camera so zoomed out?
It's the HD edition. all settings are set to native.
Gilbert Plays what does that mean?
each pixel matches the native resolution of your screen.
TheAgileFatman meaning the higher your screen resolution the farther out you will be zoomed
Love this! thank you for beïng there Don't forget to come out of your room once in a while ;)
Keep it up Res! I use your trash+siege combo all the time. The Struggle is Real
Why isn't the unexplored map black? Is this some standard online setting where you see everything?
Why not put all the sheeps close to the town hall and kill them? Why take one at a time?
Also why not kill all deers at once and then farm them? Can't they run away? I'm noob :c
Viktor Svensson Don´t worry :) Everyone was a beginner at the beginning. Now, to answer you questions:

If you find it difficult to do many things at once and forget your sending your sheep in, feel free to send several sheep and focus on something else. The difference is not huge.

Not true about only having a army of scouts I've been slaughtered by wave after wave after wave of them things cause i could not build my spearman up in time so they do have a bit of a blitz going for them.
Good video, Thanks for good tips!
Lol I played with the guy "Batman" he is getting better, haha.
Man that game was a slaughter...
I think something less onesided would be more instructive. Like actually seeing you face tough choices.
How did you play with that guy?
very good advice
awesome tips thanks!
where can you see your rating?

yeah i eventually found out about voobly and stuff. thanks though! :)
you need to watch spirit of the law about that wheelbarrow business ;)
whats a masswurlafin?
your really good mate, would love to play you some time.
anser me please how to counter goth hussaki
Champions eat Huskarls for breakfast.
Champions, or use an anti-infantry unit like Jaguar Warriors, Cataphracts, or Teutonic Knights. Or Samurai
Amaizing voice dude.
If you are Mayan playing against a Goth player... what can you do? Mayas dont have champions..
Mayans can't stop a fully boomed goth player. you have to all-in them early. However, this is the most lopsided late-game scenario in the entire game. Although there is some other problematic ones.
Nice vis res
the reason i lose is cause i am lazy if i ever get attack i jsut resign even if i have 10000 of all resources (this is 90% how i lose)
Great video
thanks very much :)
isn't very risky to wait to make your economy stable and not make any soldiers to fight? I mean at the start even 2 or 3 units could kill many of your villagers and destroy your economy
Trelaras Leontas there is a part in the video where he explains why he is doing that and when to do it
yeah it was my mistake to make a comment before the video is finished. I forgot that I wrote that comment. After I saw the whole video everything made sense
Wait wait, people do that? they purposely disconnect. I never thought about that D: I just thought my internet wasn't good but this explains it all
I will keep playing and learning AOE 2 until Detective Gumshoe gets a raise/comes back next Ace Attorney game.
Was it spirit of law who did video about when should you upgrade wheel barrel . . . there was this magical number . . . I just can't remember what it was, my only guess is 47 but could be more or less.
My experience playing AoE 2 knowing this is still losing to medium bots when I'm using the AI mod ^_^ I'm just too unexperienced so my villagers get to watch clouds :D
there is no such magical number i think. IMO you should do it when you have a decent eco allready or you get housed... some players dont even do that upgrade before Imp
hello liked this video my favorites are how to beat the AI on hardest and Knight rush.
I use a tower rush to beat the computer on hardest in tiny Arabia. I still would like to know what your Hot key habits are. My meager one are 1 for scout and 2 for tc but after that I have no clear plan I do hot key the front usually a forward tower. I am sucking against human opponents if my tower rush doesn't work I am usually finished. What is a good way to practice. Should I just keep playing the computer on hardest and try to out boom the computer. I play 1 v 1 on tiny Arabia. I don't play on water maps. I want to make tiny Arabia my home map. I am currently working on my fast feudal got it under 8 minutes. But this is a low pop all or nothing strategy. on twitch I am travismcserge or travisslipf18. I am now using sheeps to scout. there is a fast feudal on you tube at 5;46 min that I am currently imitating. I have used your knight rush to beat the computer on hard. Fun.
ok i came up with a way to improve my speed and that is by playing the computer on easiest and playing playing against the time limit minimum 200 years I think. I already incresed my opening score from 1700 to 2400 plus. I am a timer geek
travismcserge
it has already revealed bad habits (bunching, mill placement etc)
travismcserge
once I plateau I will increase my time limit or change my difficulty level i am trying to habitualize things. So that when I am being attacked the eco is automatic and my small macro decisions will be better. Sorry to editorialize but i use this game as a Psychological management experiment .
thanks to your videos I whoop my friends ass easily with fast castle knight rush ! He always picks Goths but cant get to imperial :) Kill the vills . Thanks for your help keep up the great vids!
You should check out SpiritOfTheLaw's video on Wheelbarrow. it may not be as effective as you think !
Doesn't work for me at all. The AI army still steamrollers me.
