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.

Teutons ftw!
Though you lost..
-
Hmm.
-
Btw, this was done from post imperial age, all techs.
-
marco polo is all Ill say
-
No cheats for meh. I think I'm going to do it again, cept from the start, no techs.
-
bananna pie?

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.

I have no idea what AoE is and I didn't read any of your posts.

EE > AoE
Oh snap, I went there.

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

I've decided to start a new campaign.
-
Why does it take you guys 4 hours to build 20 knights? For some reason now I think Id pwn you all.

I dunno what takes him so long, Then again, I haven't played EE2 in a LOOOOOOOOOO(ongcat is lo)OOOOONG time...
I play RON regularily and totally destroy the world though.
-
I go from Dark to Imperial, which took me this game an hour and ten minutes. There was several conflicts here, and you have to deal with them all. I went from Defense to offense and back several times.
-
It will be me(teutons), Ramathura(Aztecs), Darius(Persia), and Eric(franks) vs. General Jo-mien(Japanese), Wild Jack(Spanish), King Charles (Byzantines), and Saladin Saracens)
The map will be a custom scenario. All teams start in the dark ages with 500 gold, food, stone, and wood.

I suggest TANKS.
as soon as possible
Nothing made the game more enjoyable for me then a tank rush while they still had bows and arrows.
Didn't happen too often though...

Wrong game, lawl.
I run teutonic knights, trebuchets, paladins, and rams.
Teutonic Knights obliterate all other infantry + certain mounted units. Weak against Archers.
Paladins are for kicking the crap out of archers.
Rams/ Trebuchets for breaking down walls, towers, and castles
-
aka mongols would pwn you, E_W? that is the slowest army set I've ever seen, even with paladins.

Disreguard,
I forgot this was an AoE topic, not an EE2 topic -_-'
-
Cursed Mongols with their bonuses toward seige, arrows, and stuff. I'll run Camels in a pinch.
-
>.< if mongols couldn't deal with camels they'd be worthless...horse archers and regular archers and one decent melee group will go "OM NOM NOM NOM"
maybe add some splash catapults to this? Be a moving-fortress.
I would rather a light, fast army, because I am a fast gamer. So I can micromanage my archers. mongols
-
I'd prefer a huge army that cuts through everything.

Might I enquire as to how This happened:

which AoE is this? i might get it and join in
-
I need to find my key code.
O and war elaphents ftw.
-
I hate catapults. Whenever I carry them with my army they end up killing more of my soldiers than the enemy. And if I leave them behind for a second they get owned by a ramdom enemy villager.

K. This game was epic. I share two borders with Rama, One with Eric, and one with the General. I wall myself in. Eric is fighting off General, and pretty soon everyone and their grandma is punching Eric. There at least 20 seperate assualts on my walls throughout the whole game. Luckily, these people suck at Techs. I make a fighting force of 12 teutonic knight, and let them loose in The General's territory. They kill around 40 villagers before dying. I make another force of trebuchets and teutonic knights. I also run cannon galleons which break all resistance on the beachs.
Eric calls a jihad, and he,Rama, and Darius make huge ass navies and beat the shit outta Charles. While I'm hitting the General, These guys triple team him, and he surrenders. I make short work of the general, with my trebs,teutoniic knights, and cannon galleons. General surrenders
I make a huge army, (Trebs, Paladins, and T-Knights) This army marches into Wild Jack's territory, and Jack can't repulse for shit, and he is easily killed, with Eric helping me.
Now, There is only saladin left. With the remainder of my army, we march up to his gates. Its fucking normandy. Ships are getting cut down, left and right. We can't get through. I call in my cannon galleons, and they rape his gates, towers, castles. They also cut down a vital gate that allows Rama and Darius to get through. We get everyone inside, and soon we are all pillaging. Saladin falls like a house of calls.

Sounds like a lot was missing from this report.
-

-

Not really. I was on offensive nearly the entire time.

Empire Earth is so much better than Age of Empires. In my opinion.
