Let's share some good deals!

I haven't really found anything, hence why I'm curious to what everyone else is picking up.

Another AoE2 enjoyer I presume?

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Haha, yup.

I was a bit misleading though, because I also play a lot of the 2.5-year-old AoE4, and a tiny amount of AoM and AoE3 (and expect the amount of AoM to go way up later this year when Retold comes out).

It's crazy how well that game holds up even today. Also quite hilarious how completely different my playing style is today than when I was 12. I had no clue about how to counter specific units, build order or even luring the boars. I'd absolutely wipe floor with my past self even with the medicore skills I have at it now.

Yeah it's pretty incredible. I don't know if I ever played without at least resource cheats as a kid.

I do remember knowing the triangle infantry beats cavalry beats archers, but also thinking "more expensive units must be better". So I would build m@a-line to counter scouts or knights, rather than spear-line. I probably never built more than 20 vills, either.
