Re: The OP Aztecs and how to lame them

^
That is because most people just rush with them because it is a superior strategy.

In the next patch, it will be even more prevalent.

Re: What is your favorite non-Ages activity?

Other than hanging out with the family, which is really a requirement and not an activity, I enjoy martial arts. Not that I'm very good, but its a great way to relieve stress. It's the one place I can go where yelling, kicking, punching, and getting hit is not only acceptable, it's encouraged. Belie...

Re: Hey, Native Rush anyone?

^ Patch will change that a lot. They will only be doing 20 damage now (opposed to 40). For ranged minor natives, this is not an issue. France, Iroquois, and Japan will have strong minor native rushes post patch. Japan can send in a TP in Age 1 and focus on wood / food (both unraidable). They also ha...

Re: ES will patch AOE3 until next age game is released

^^ Hmm, I've traveled to Mexico many times and know first hand that you can buy pirated movies anywhere. I have seen them at the pharmacy of all places! I have also heard from friends that have traveled to China that it is the same over there. With the American economy going to crap, who are these g...

Re: The OP Aztecs and how to lame them

Aztecs require a very limited play style to win. You rush or you boat boom. I suppose they can still boat boom, but protecting those fishing ships will be much more challenging. Why only the Aztecs water dance was picked on is unknown to me considering offshore support was nerfed and the BB tech mov...

Re: New Computer Time

Thanks for the specs, once I hear back from Comp USA (said it will take about a week to be contacted), I will start looking into this further. Where is the best place to go to buy Windows Vista? I know Fry's will offer a special price when you buy hardware there. That's going to be another $100 or s...

Overall, I like the patch, I think it will bring balance to the game in many aspects but a few of the changes have me scratching my head. Ranged Infantry So versus all cavalry units, skirmisher t...
