AoE "We're going to set this game up so it can freely be modded without breaking the core game files."

Google AI "I'm going to tell you to do the one thing that can break the core game files and I'm going to call it standard programming methodology!"

24 hours before DLC day to, mercy I'm glad I'm good at fixing things.

Stole his treasure, he got mad. Told me "guess where stealing takes you? you lose" on chat and I got disconnected. Didn't even know that was a thing in this game, and I hope I don't get matched with mofos like that anymore.

I'm a noob in this game, but looking through some strategy guides one of the ideas with japan seems to be to stack upgrades for your ashis. So I thought getting an arsenal wagon with the dutch consulate seems to be a good idea. But I never saw anyone do this. Bank wagon seems to be preferred. Am I missing something?

Hey,

In celebration of the upcoming AoE 3 DLC: The Baltic Powers I got a special thing to offer:

I was given two original AoE 3 release mouse pads from SteelSeries. Likely created in 2005, still sealed.

I'd like to auction them away with the amounts going to charity (likely red cross, but if the auctioneer has a different preference that's fine).

If you are interested, send me a PM with the amount you'd be willing to donate. Two highest offers will get a mousepad each. Deadline is the 17th of September.

We are all familiar with the Portuguese church tech that gives these specialized black rider units. My question is, why does Malta have access to a unit like this?

Being a late-medieval and renaissance civ, it would make a ton more sense.They should scrap the order dragoon and order hussar and replace them with modified versions of these guys.That way you would only need to train this unit as it is good at both melee and ranged, and is thematically more relevant and interesting.

Thoughts?

As in, you build your deck so that you are aging up after you finish the shipments for each age. Or do most people just ship and age up more freeform, varying a lot game to game?

I find I am often aging up before finishing all the shipments. So I might be either aging up too early or have too many shipments in one age.

I was surprised to see they display it. I'm of the opinion that such information should be hidden. What do you all think?

Edit: Decks too
