They Should Buff Le Handcannoniers

>>714622261
i agree. handcannoneers need a buff. maybe just a slight cost reduction or decreased training time.

I want to SUCK memb's DICK

This game is so fucking ass and a perfect example of why new games in a franchise NEED to have their gameplay changed drastically.
>boar was 4 pixels too far from town center before killing it
>has a snowball effect that leads to an inevitable loss 20 minutes later

>>714624146
no he's being egregious, but the compound effect of even slightly optimizing 1000 different actions really does add up quickly.

/vst/ was a mistake

>>714624146
>0.5 seconds increased walking distance for 4 hunters and 2 trips each
>you're now 4 seconds behind on food gathering
>4 seconds behind on making more villagers
>for every villager that is spawned after this point, you lose 4 seconds of resources they collect multiplied by the amount of number of the villager in the queue
Face it, 300 ELO player, the community has hyperoptimized the gameplay so much so that ever single misclick leads to hundreds of resources lost.

>>714624515
why? i like it.

All games that get the fun optimized out of them by autistic people get ruined, therefore we should cull all autistic people so games are allowed to be fun again

Stop talking from your ass and actually play the game

>>714625346
In games like this, and Starcraft, and every other game that's completely ruled by gay build order pro-meta dogshit, he's not wrong.

>>714625394
my build order is i go poles and the make a billion fulwarks and rush to imp then spam a jillion winged hussars

>>714625523
>NOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T DOOO THAAAAAAAAAT IT'S NOT IN THE BUILD ORDEEEERRR

sry didnt know you guys play online exclusively against hera, vipur and mbl

>>714625394
In majority of games it is one guy knows how to micro his units and the other doesn't or one guy is really bad macroing, players below 1300 have more important things to improve on than economy optimization. Up to 1500 they have things to work on that is unrelated to eco optimization

>>714627008
when hera himself gives you a step by step guide on where to click the first 15 minutes of the game you pretty much are

>>714626154
you cannot stop da hussar rush

>>714621427 (OP)
is there any patch or mod to make you run the original in 4k? i tried the remaster and apart from taking up tens of gigabytes it ran like ass

>>714628141
try out the free graphics dlc for DE, it makes the game prettier and allows you to really zoom in, which can be pretty comfy in campaigns

>>714625174
Adding random elements to the gameplay would fix the problem.

for me it's joan <3
fuck the fucking britons and their faggy longbows

>>714628401
thanks

Reminder that joan is the prime example of the toastie roastie

Oh yeah? I'd like to see you walk to the front page then

>it's a Hera wins every tournament year

>>714631234
This is the beginning of the Hera century, you can't get his fat ass off of the throne

>>714631234
wait Viper isn't the best anymore?

>>714634632
When was the last time he won an s-tier?

>>714630727
Just got to the front page.
Now say what you wanted to say to my face, heathen.

>>714634738

>>714623815
one fucky pathing or one lucky mangonel shot will have more impact than that.

>>714623483
Anon I dont gonna scream at you to play Italians but wondering to ask, why you don't play hindustanian handcannoneers? The +1 range truly makes shune the unit making them in the top 1 yet since

>>714628868
It's a pain to fight against them because AI kites every unit with perfection

>>714629825
t. britcuck or b*rgundian

>>714635545
im autistic and don't want to play non-european civs. i do try italians every once in awhile, but having to rush to imperial age and missing halberdier (along with other bohemian bonuses im used to), makes it tough to adapt to it. i also like being able to use handcannoneers earlier rather than needing to wait forever to get to use my favorite unit.

another W for the Poles, the best civ in the game, yu can try to pivot 100% halbs that's the only way to stop the epic hussar rush, but I will just go into sneacky obuchs and mop you up while your mind is spinning.

>>714637540
the best civ in the game is actually khitans

>>714625394
i simply fight the ai

>>714624442
Yeah, if you are 2500+
Most players are not 2500+, this is why mid and low elo matches can be so exciting to watch - its not immediately over just because someone fucked up bad like it is at pro level

>>714638815
>1000 elo

>>714625523
My build order is spanish men at arms
I send a few 4 man hit squads during feudal to cut down houses and fuck up wood lines which prompts counter play, then I switch into skirms, spears and conqs (for raiding) for castle age to make it look like I'm on the defence and then once they commit to the transition out of anti infantry I bumrush them with trebs and champs in imp
20 upgraded champions will eat a TC in seconds, they never see it coming

>>714639273
noice, my hussars are so fucking based people always thing about needing seige to take down castles but you rush that shit with 50 hussars and it will be down before you can say mojojojo most of the time people dont even get murder holes until ive taken out a castle or two.

>>714623815
Your problem playing sweaty ranked 1v1s. AoE2 doesn't shine unless you're playing a FFA diplomacy game with eight players.

>>714639505
Won't work against me, as a long term campaign enjoyed I get murder holes (the strongest campaign tech) every game out of pure muscle memory

>>714639505
Just make pikemen
