>I'm too trash for the hard difficulty
>Medium difficulty is too easy
I know some people will hit me with "git gud" I know I'll git gud eventually, but this is pain bros... anyone else here had this same problem? I already tried 1v2 and 1v3 on medium difficulty and it's still way easier than hard difficulty.

git gud

only problem i ever have is in 4v4 teamgames with and against ai. enemy AI will coordinate, boom, and make a lot of military while friendly ai just fucking sucks. i think buffing handcannoneers a little more would go a long way to help me carry my shitty AI teammates.

i struggle with the campaign on easy. i've been playing gookclick games regularly since 1997 and have yet to acquire even a shred of proficiency beyond understanding how a tech tree works and a vague, nebulous understanding of how some unit types are better than others

I don't think they changed how that works because Starwars Galactic Battle Grounds has the same thing. When playing against AI it gives them a random personality and one of them is always a more passive AI.

AOE 3 had great single player skirmish. I could only beat medium AI at first, but I built my way up to tougher difficulties once I had better shipment cards.

Play the real best AoE.

If you want to fine-tune the difficulty start the game with a stopwatch and give the computer opponent a head start while you do nothing.

Protip
Build castles they're completely OP

They massively overhauled the ai in each 'new' version (aka just a a new scam version) to avoid 'le cheese' of the constrained AI

They've worked with speed runners to eliminate most options

Either get a proper trainer that lets you have infinite population and use a mod that gives you infinite resources from gold/stone mines or else just accept you need to save scum more than RTS games from the 90s

A whole lot of tough campaign missions can be made easy with a well-place castle full of archers and heated shot.

>>715316627 (OP)
Hard AI is very to win if you can resist until late castle/imperial because they stop making villagers at around 75 and you heavily outmacro it due to that

>>715316627 (OP)
that was me, I then went and played ranked and by the time I tried ai again extreme was too easy
