N3O Age Of Empires and Starcraft 2 Clan

I'm pretty good at keeping my explorer active, but if he dies I never know when/if it's worth ransoming him.

^lol

I love how every thread on the N3O boards inevitably winds up spiralling off on some bizzare tangent. For my part, I think our speedometers should measure speed in furlongs per fortnight.

Recording is here.

Fascinating. It amazes me how little time expert players need to manage their economy & housing. After the initial minute or so, all you ever see of his TC are brief flashes for the rest of the game.

Well, if everyone wants to see the recording of him taking me out behind the woodshed, maybe I'll post it when I get home. But it's not pretty.

[quote=""Shizle""]Yeah, BIS is just working his way up to the 40's. He just used you as a stepping stone. He was one of the best of the best not long ago.[/quote]

Oh. Now I see why I got matched with him in QS. It wasn't that my PR was above 18. I took a look at ESO Stats , and found that he was ...

[quote=""HuggyPierre""]Dude, Black_ice_Spain was PR 45 in TWC. He would have crashed us all. lol.[/quote]

LOL, I don't feel so bad now. For what it's worth, he was friendly, too.

Yes, my rax location was my biggest problem, espeically since he beat me to colonial. Had we gone colonial at the same time, I think I would have been in better shape trading blows with him, since CDBs > Vills for TC defense. But, I made a handful of other mistakes as well . . .

- Since he beat me ...

Okay, long post . . . any feedback is very appreciated.

Well, as you can probably guess from my sig, I don't have a lot of experience playing against others on ESO. I think my basic skills are getting decent, but I'm woefully ignorant of how to approach a given civ matchup/map combination ...

Okay, I looked real hard in Cyclo's guide to see if I could find the answer to this question, but I couldn't find anything definitive. The question is, is the 25% bonus for all gathering built-in to the CDB base gathering rates, or is it more like an invisible technology that stacks just like any ...

So I think the consensus is . . . that falconets are completely useless when left to their own, and when microing they should take priority over other units?

[quote=""Sporting_Lisbon""]Now the card makes them build twice as fast instead of 100%/15%=6,67 times faster. That's quite a nerf.[/quote]

Yeah, it was basically nerfed by a factor of 3, which is incredible. It's still mildly better than Stonemasons, but I doubt if it will see much use anymore. It ...

Soccerman,
The problem is that the cards are not 100% clear about what they do. Every building has a number of build points. For example, a fort has 150. In a medium game, 1 villiager completes one build point in 1 second. This means 1 villager builds 1 fort in 150 seconds.

Now, my understanding is ...

[quote=""Blackadderthe4th""]I think falconets tend to target the most remote, insignificant target they can, you know some lone musketeer with 1HP just standing there pondering the workings of the universe trying to understand the mind of God whilst scratching his arse and not even participating in ...
