N3O Age Of Empires and Starcraft 2 Clan

I know it's hard to imagine, but I have NEVER been accused of being a smurf.

Since there are rumors of another Fan Patch - I was thinking it would be great if walls were tweaked where wall-spamming didn't take over every game that goes more than 20 minutes. After playing with some cost ideas, and some total wall-count limit ideas, I think the best option is simply to increas...

3v3 team games are my favorite games. They seem like a great opportunity for an FF, but when I do that I'm never sure which units best contribute to the cause. Anyone have any thoughts on what the best contributions are to the team when you FF? E.g. I often FF with French, but cuirs aren't really as...

[quote=""Kaiser_von_Nuben""]To be fair, there is quite a large gap between the two platforms when there is no train in the station.[/quote]

So, perhaps an additional disclaimer with the "Mind the Gap" statement would be in order?

Adder, I stand in awe of your understated humor.

when you fail to Mind the Gap.

Proper arty - like Age II grens with the uber-grens card and advanced arsenal for the gren upgrade. Brit grens are to artillery what Fuller's brewery is to beer enjoyment. And LaZy has the same opinion of both.

Here's a weird thought I had - what is your favorite Age in the game and why? Maybe we've done this before, but oh well. I have to admit a Brit bias here - but Age II is my favorite. Spamming card-boosted units from 2-4 rax is just the sweet spot for the Brits and that age is a lot of fun. It seems ...

Hey Bash!! Good to "see" you.

A lot can go wrong. If you micro to a unit and it dies before it fires your cannon may move instead. Any time you click, you risk confusing it and delaying a shot. Any shot is a big event and a screwup or delay can be a problem.

Free uhlans trickled throughout has always been a big problem for me. One of two bad things happens - 1) they are used to raid me and therefore I'm quite a bit weaker when the FF hits, or 2) they are added to the FF troop mass making things very dicey at that early battle. There can be 7 or 10 free ...

I'm talking about the special situation of an FF/semi-FF. There is that cusp moment where the cards are hitting, and his Fortress age is going to either take off or be snuffed out. Very often during those times you have lightly guarded cannons coming out the back of the TC, and meleed units (pikes o...

kk - here's the lbow/hussar secret: keep the bows in a mass and never micro them in a way that makes them move. Then, take whichever longbows are being attacked in the front and run them willy nilly back and forth across your front line (or just run away can work, too). The hussars bump into each ot...

I'm going to beat a sergeant with virtually any Brit strat against a French semi-FF. They will simply make too many mistakes and even my poopy micro will take them out. I can't tell you how many times I've crushed someone in a battle where I was outnumbered and had inferior units, simply because I p...

Well, maybe balance isn't the right word for team games. There's usually much more opportunity to recover from mistakes and more general flexibility in the game. I've never had much luck with selected teams, it seems that you don't know how the matchup is going to work until it's played.
