Whimsy's AoE topic

[Emperor Whimsical]

I played a game just now, called rivers, a custom made map, with four islands and rivers crisscrossing them. There was 4 teams. Me(Teutons) Eric the Red(Franks) Ramathura(Mayans) and Darius, (Persia) The Setup was every man for himself.

We each had our own islands, and I put gates, walls and towers around mine, preventing invasion. It was set up like this:
ME      Darius
Eric the Red Ramathura
 
I shared a border with Eric the Red, and two with Darius.

I started out with villagers, mining, lumbering, etc. Darius started killing mah farms and fishing boats, so I'm like, aw hell naw,so I bust out a small fleet (less than half a dozen ships) who annihilate him, and his dock near me.  Meanwhile, Eric the Red starts sending out a dozen troops to level my gates. I set up two towers, which quickly crush the attackers. I start building an army at this point. I build one of out teutonic knights (arguably best in the game) Paladins (mounted units), catapults, and bombard cannons. My total army is around 30 people. I march into eric the red's territory...

and get my ass whooped. My catapualts are collapsed, so they can't break Eric's buildings. My knights and paladins are quickly defeated. Now, while this is going on, Ramathurtha sends around 20 ships for an attack on one of my docks. They are utterly defeated by my kamikaze ships. I have a huge problem now. I'm landlocked, with nowhere to run. I can produce no more gold, so I can't build an army or anything to defend myself.  Eric's guerilla warfare is destroying all my outposts and towers in the surrrounding area, so I can't see anything. He launchs an offensive manuever on an unprotected dock. My other docks are too covered to help. Eric breaks through my gates (No gold for towers), and using his navy as support, quickly destroys my city.

End.

bananna pie?

[Emperor Whimsical]

Same map and people.


K. We're in the imperial age now. Me and Eric Vs. Darius and Rama. It starts out mellow. No one attacks me. Pretty soon, though Rama gets to imperial age first, and builds a huge navy. This navy starts going around Eric's Island, killing anything on the coast. This hurts us both, as I am using trade ships at his docks. After a repeated cycle of breaking his docks, Rama goes after me. He destroys one. On route to another, I make a navy and stop his. At this point, Eric, whom I still share a border with, builds an army. I build one too. Darius sends various soldiers in, through eric's border. This becomes important later.

Meanwhile, My army marchs in to Darius's territory,and is decisively defeated. My knights, paladins, and rams all collapse. Eric launchs his own offensive manuever, hitting Rama hard, and nearly reaching his base. Meanwhile those soldiers, have been hitting my villagers. By the time I realize this, They have killed 30 of my 88 villagers. I quickly kill them, and the damage is done. Eric, went from being everyone's bitch to a major player quickly. I'm out of gold now. I begin trading with Eric again, through my trade ships. I'm hoarding my resources to make another army.

Part two. With all the gold, I've acculated, I launch an offensive maneuver at Darius, hitting him, and knocking him back. I research cannon galleons, nifty little boats that are a terror to anyone with buildings near the coast.  I make a castle, and several towers. A make a wall around my little colony. I begin launching catapualt attacks, and destroying nearby building from within my base. My cannon galleons are instrumental on stopping Darius from sending more troopsI send out a small group of teutonic knights and catapualts, who destroy Darius. Darius is defeated!

while this is going on, Rama continues to launch naval attacks at my docks. I kill his boats, and establish a patrol unit of 12 fireships at two different rivers. Eric is engaging Rama with guerrilla  warfare. I form another colony on top of Darius, who shares a border with Rama. I put towers on the coast, and another naval patrol. I also put more gates on the border, so Rama is forced back. I make another cannon galleon battalion. This one attacks rama on his borders. I start to make another army.

At this point, Rama and Eric are in a slugging match. Eric keeps going in, and keeps getting forced back, But he's gaining ground every match. Soon, He at the city's town center. My army (6 catapults and 20 knights) move into Rama's territory. My cannon galleons cover Eric as he marchs toward the base. I launch my attack from the east, destroying several key buildings, and with Eric in the south, punching through a wall my cannon galleons opene, Rama  is completely unprepared for this assualt. Rama surrenders! We are victorious!

0/ catapults!

God this topic is awesome. AoE 2 + Expansion is easily the second best RTS made.

I wish I played these games, whenever I play with someone they ALWAYS turtle and I always have to fight for 8 hours while they just keep building walls and towers and amassing an army... of course I win when I own the map but it always takes hours upon hours as they make multiple levels of walls and build artillery to take out mine.


Great battle reports.

[Emperor Whimsical]

lol. I cramed 4 hours of gameplay into 7 paragraphs. Should I still make these?

I've decided to start a new campaign.

[Dontasemebro]

Why does it take you guys 4 hours to build 20 knights? For some reason now I think Id pwn you all.
