The NS Age of Empires thread: Teutons too fast pls nerf

[Outer Sparta]

Use archers. They literally MASSACRE Teutonic Knights.

I didn't know that, but I'm sure it works, because I'd make a horde of arrow-shooting cavaliers, and destroy enemies before they come near them and attack them.

Help! Mangudai too OP please nerf!

Use onagers and bombers, and they'll be eradicated.

To be honest, I found Mongols to be quite weak in AoE 2, for some reason. I personally prefer the Chinese, Korean, Britons, and the Mayans.

No, siege weapons will be annihilated because Mangudai have a siege bonus and can easily run away.

Siege weapons are horrible against archery. You're right. However, bombers have longer range, so if they are behind a wall and attacking the Mangudai, there is some chance the latter will not be able to counterattack.

Bombard cannons have sufficient range, but are inaccurate and have a long minimum range. Mangudai are still fast, so they'd penetrate that minimum range.

True, yes. I forgot about the fact they can move away.

Oh yeah, also, am I the one who finds villagers to be most effective against battering rams?

[New Tuva SSR]

Huns can be very OP, as they can divert more resources outside of building houses. Therefore, they can easily migrate. I still wonder why the Mongols did not get this feature.

It was hilarious, because, once, I sent about fifty villagers outside my base to fight off the rams. They all died within minutes.

Rams melt against melee units.

Who voted "Other", and what game are you thinking of?

However, come on, villagers are not melee units. They're just....villagers, if not builders.

I did, and I was referencing Forgotten Empires, which practically is a mod.

Note the "including expansions" in the poll question

And Forgotten Empires is an expansion. Based off a mod, though.

What's the difference? More nations and maps?

[Outer Sparta]

Aztec monks wave their skirts to convince soldiers to join their side
A civilisation that starts out with 3 male villagers can still reproduce
Walls break down after a few strikes of a ram, but the stomach of a villager can take a lot more of those
One line of trees will block any unit, no one was brave enough in the Middle Ages to go through a forest
When Huns build a wonder, they make a destroyed one
If an old man talks gibberish to you, you betray your friends, family and country and join the enemy side
Helpless villagers who see knights storming into their peaceful town can quickly pull out a few palisades out of their pockets to protect themselves
One single Longbowman can tear down a castle. He just needs to take 5000 arrows out of his magical backpack
Those Frankish Axemen never figured out how to cut down a tree
Fat kings run faster than trained cavalry
If you’re hurt in battle, ask a guy to swing his wand at you and you’re cured within seconds
Trading in the Middle Ages meant: load your cart with gold and give nothing in return
You need wood to build a farm, no seeds and water
You can ram crops and put them on fire

This folks, is what Age Of Empires 2 taught us about history. http://www.cysion.be/aocbox/?p=188 All credit given to Cysion.

So true, so true.

I... I'm not sure really. It has all the same nations, but maybe the mod lacked campaigns? Idk honestly.

Trading:
Trade cart: Wow, here's a market. Let's go and see what we get.
Marketer: Welcome. Here, take this gold.
Trade cart: Wow, just this?
Marketer: Yes, I'm serious. You don't need to exchange any food or wood to us. Just take this gold and leave!
Trade cart: Oh wow. That was quite strange. And they didn't even want my food in exchange. Oh well.

If the nations and maps are pretty much the same, I'd just stick to The Conquerors.
Perhaps, AI is different, but I can just get a new AI 2.0 for The Conquerors.

There's new civilizations: Italians, Indians, Incas, Magyars, and Slavs, plus new maps and AI that are though as hell.

Oh, no, I mean, the mod and expansion added the same factions

[Cuprum]

0 A.D is a nice Free source ancient warfare game. A nice successor of AOE II

Finally can play as mother Russia.
