So, console related question.

Is there a way to jump to the last notified event, an example, units being attacked?

What civs do well vs Hindustanis?

Particularly on open maps like Arabia what would be a favourable civ match up against them?

I got this on console release and have put in a solid 6 hours min a day, and now I’m hearing there
Is possibly dlc, is this coming to console?

I played this back in the day like crack, and now here
I so again, playing the game as if it was just yesterday, wild.

I’m afraid to get online I don’t wanna get smoked just yet.

With all balancing and such, who is everyone’s current favorite Civ?

Been having a blast with khmer and Britons.

I don’t know what is happening but I feel like I’m actually getting dramatically worse at this game.

I started playing ranked about 2 weeks ago, the first 10 matches were alle really nice, most of them were very close and exciting.

I won about 40-50% of the matches and my ELO was about 900.

However, the past few days I’m losing literally every game.

I currently have a losing streak of 8 and have only won 2 of my last 15 matches.

And the matches I lost were mostly complete stomps and not at all close.

Is the matchmaking somehow getting worse?

I keep playing the game the same way as before but somehow every opponent seems so much better.

Im new.

I’m on console.

Doing the Wallace campaign.

My monks are dead and I need to get relics.

When I try to train monks it says unavailable.

It says I need 9 archers, 100 gold, 30 hearts

What are the hearts?

If my monks die in this campaign am I just screwed?

For a while now I’ve thought of making a short video series (maybe 10 videos) for people who are either coming back to the game or are new and want to learn meta.

From what I have seen, T90 and SOTL have similar videos, “beginner’s guide to the first 15 villagers” and “10 tips to get better at aoe2” come to mind.

But both of those vids are fairly brief.

I’m thinking something like Hera’s “road to 2k” but instead aimed at people who are used to playing the game like we did as kids (sim city style) and are stuck on the hard AI or can’t get past 700 elo or whatever.

A road to 1k if you will.

Potential topics could be: how to make a plan for common maps like Arabia, arena, etc., a couple basic build orders like scout rush or FC, making an army composition, how to utilize control groups and hotkeys.

With the current influx of new / returning players, could this be a good resource?

Or are there already enough vids that cover this stuff?

[ha-bet-you-read-this]

Can someone please explain all skirmish modes.

I’m talking about Conquest, Last man standing, etc….

This game is way too fun but I’d much rather I win after completely annihilating the entire enemy empire

[Trolllllllls]

Is there anyway to get this game on the new m1 and m2 macs?

I love this game and got it when it came out on xbox immediately, but I want to be able to play it on the go without xcloud.

[Bkelly23]

Ok so just getting into this game as it came out on Xbox Game Pass.

So why does my Mill keep auto using all my wood to create farm land in the early game.

I have no clue how to stop it from doing this

[manlom]

Hey!

I am moving on from AoE4 to AoE2, what are some stuff I should be careful about annd pay attention to!

​

Also, I like civs who pressure and try to end on the early to mid game rather than trying to amass a huge late game, what are some non-cheese civilisations who are good at that?

[TheRealFlinger]

I know this is about the noobiest damn noob question, but how do you drive a boar or deer to your TC with your scout without attacking it?

I can’t click close enough inbetween my scout and the deer without it giving an attack icon.

[r13z]

Where to report problems after the latest patch?

Frequent crashes, players who can’t join a lobby when there is AI in the lobby, players who crash out when adding AI to the lobby, the same old quirks as other updates.

It always seem to somehow mess up compstomp / vs.

AI games.

Has anyone noticed Italians and Byz suddenly getting more popular?

I wonder why, I guess they’re really good hybrid civs and lots of the TTL games I’ve been binging are hybrid, they’re also very flexible picks who can stop basically everyone.

Makes me think that Byz are one of the best designed civs in the game: doesn’t matter how many new civs you add, Byz is a safe pick to counter.

They don’t have the power units until late game to dominate either, they’re just a lovely well rounded choice.

I’ve also been getting very into Italians, they’re good counters against lots of annoying picks on closed and nomad maps: good monks, good fast uptime, Genoese are a hard counter against a lot of annoying stuff, they get cheap BBC.

And even on open maps you can still have a much cleaner Feudal because you save food which amounts to getting Horse Collar as well as bit-axe with a standard archer build.

Im new, did a co-op mission with a friend and it said we unlocked some Franks armour I think after destroying a building, is this something we can actually use in co-op?

I couldn’t find anything so just assumed it’s more so in Multiplayer or single player
