a little tip for your scout in the beginning : if you want to save time, select the scout, hold shift and press right click on a location you want to go to. if you do it like that a tiny flag appears that marks a point were you're scout will go to if you release shift and press right click again. you can place multiple flags and your scout will ride from flag to flag. so you can tell him to scout around your base in a circle for example. this way you don't have to control your scout the whole time while he's scouting

If theres one tip i could give to a new player looking to improve their game- its learn the hot keys for TC, CREATE VILLAGER and IDLE VILLAGER. And just pretty much spam them constantly throughout the game. Once you get into this habit it will become second nature, allowing you to think more about your strategy

I am so glad to hear that this video helped you! You can expect some videos from me in the near future that explain how I defeat the Hardest difficulty computer. :)

I am impressed with your ability to explain things to newer people! Great job! I would say you are the best at explaining this game to newer players that I have seen.

***** Paul told the Phillipean Jailer that to be saved he must believe on the Lord Jesus. That is not out of context. As a matter of fact if you look through the whole Bible you will see again and again the call to repent and believe on Jesus Christ and be saved. This is then for you to do omalginu. You must do this because without Christ you are headed for a place called Hell because you have broken God's Law the 10 Commandments. But God offers you salvation today, for only today right now is guaranteed. Because Jesus died on the cross 2,000 years ago being both God and man and when He died He took the wrath of God upon Himself and died so that all who would believe in Him would be saved. He rose 3 days later from the dead and ascended into Heaven where He sits down at the right hand of the Father. Right now He commands you to repent and believe alone in Jesus Christ and your sins shall be forgiven.

The hot key for "idle villager" is the ".", period. Use it. Lumberjacks are lazy and they do wander away! Keep those serfs busy as hell, never stand idle!! The comma key "," is used to find an idle military unit. The "home key" will bring you to the last trumpet location

The Home Key is usually on the top of the keyboard, to the right of the F1-F12, PrtSc, Pause, Ins, and Del keys. You may need to double check though because I've seen a few keyboards that have it on the very bottom of the keyboard, some in a 3x2 section on the keyboard (common business type keyboards), and some just don't have em at all.

Another thing worth mentioning is that if you're using a mouse with more than 3 buttons, one of those extra buttons will cycle you through idle villages and another will cycle you through all the TCs. It's very useful if you have a mouse with 5 buttons or more.

@abstractdaddy1384

Also important to mention that all hotkeys can be reassigned. The last notification (trumpet) key is pretty important and I don't think it should stay on a strange button like "home". Being more of a starcraft player I prefer the space bar.

One thing I did understand the relevance or importance of from this video is trade carts. Why are they so important and what benefits do they give you? Surely if you trade resources with your ally you have to give other resources back in return?

Great video, thanks for uploading! I've been playing AoE 2 HD and I have a question for any experienced player: When playing AoE 3 I'm able to give consecutive commands to units by holding down Shift and then issuing the commands. In AoE 2 HD that same technique doesn't work. I noticed it does work to place the foundation for consecutive buildings however. Is there a way to give consecutive commands to units? Thanks!

This is such a multitasking game. I get anxiety whenever I get attcked from 2 different sides while having my villagers do work/build houses/get food/get wood/make army x_x

Question. Should I group up all of my units then attack or set the gather point to the enemy base.

21:15 Literally the plot every 2v2 game ever played.

My sisters always completely massacres me. I’m watching this to help myself lol

How come when I macro my military buildings to 1,2,3 for example, and try to build a unit in them, it doesn't build units to all of the buildings selected. Just the first one I selected creates the uni and say if i have 3 the other two don't respond unless I click them separately?

I don't understand how Resonance and other good players are using groups and hotkeys and moving their military. I have watched Viper and Resonance videos and tried to figure it out watching the mouse movements, but I still couldn't figure it out. Anyone know? BUILDING PRODUCTION: In the video he mentioned that he was adding castles to group 2. Is that so he can quickly move the gather point for all of his castles? When he wants to create move military units, does he type control+b, then the hotkey for the unit he wants to produce, then control+b then unit hotkey, etc for each building? Or does he press control+b then click on each building with his mouse and press the hotkey for the unit he wants to produce? Or does he press 2 twice to jump to where his castles are (but then he cannot use hotkeys to que units, so he must then manually click on each castle then press the unit hotkey to build?) UNIT CONTROL: how do the pros make their armies move so orderly? My armies just run off in all different directions instantly unless I manually put them into stand ground (is there a way to set army stance to defensive as the default stance instead of aggressive?) Is he constantly spam clicking the attack move hotkey behind the units he wants to attack? I cant figure out how to actually control my units the way the good players do. I'm looking for as detailed help about specifics as possible, anyone know?

Is there an update for the newer version?

In a standard build, what villager composition would you reccomend through the ages for wood/food/gold ? Also, can you explain when to collect stone and how much?

@ChessdumyTV

10 жыл бұрын

If doing like an ideal castle rush, i usually just recruit 2-3 villagers to build feudal age buildings, then i transition them to stone. After that, i advance to castle and play on. In the dark age, i make around 28-35 villagers for fast castle. I have like 12 on boar and sheep, then i transition them to farms when done (like 3, but the rest on wood), 5 on forage, 5 on deer, and sometimes a couple fishing ships if on a water map. I also have 2 gold miners at the end of the dark age. For feudal rushing (same order i do except down to 22-24 villagers before feudal), i usually play mayans or sometimes even byzantines, for a cheap trash rush. Just put most on food at first for dark age, transition some to wood, then at feudal, make stone and builders (But really it depends on your strategy, your civilization, and your map). Since i usually feudal rush, i will create an army of ~ 5 skirmishers, 5 archers, and 5 spearmen; meanwhile ill just keep improving my economy, mostly for stone and gold but some for food and wood. Meanwhile again, ill rush that trash army to my enemy and harass their economy or at least try to, then ill build up another 5 skirm - 5 archer - 5 spearmen setup. I can also upgrade to castle age at some point. Ultimately, to conclude your questions, it really depends on your civilization, your strategy, and your map. What civ do you play a lot? And what is your most used strategy? Im assuming fast castle? If thats the case, like i said, i would just build up a couple villagers to build feudal buildings, then when they're done, transition them to stone and go up to castle age as soon as your done. When at castle, just keep improving your economy and whatnot, and its also ideal to set up a cheap army for a rush or for protection.

I really like the look of the sea and the farms, my game is not like that... can I get it somehow?

I must be super slow because I only use the mouse when it comes to doing anything in aoe2. Like, the hotkeys are a bit confusing which is why I don't use it, it's much different than other RTS games regarding hotkeys I feel. I know I can change them but I feel like if I re-hotkey I will lose a hotkey for something else, which will be way too confusing for me to look through. The scouting in this game is much too intimidating for new players, you could spend the first thirty seconds looking for sheep and I have no clue what I'm supposed to do haha. I even had some guides to help me, and when it comes to things like luring boars or wolves they kill villagers very quickly. I'm glad I found this video in time since I was about to quit. I was actually so bad at the game people started kicking me from lobbies lol.
