Aoe3 nostalgia
This game is so old that we can already get nostalgia from it. Reading a topic at agesanc someone there said that the game wasn't even close to being designed for online gaming. And it's a big truth right there.
Does anyone want to share some good memories of vanilla 1.03? (first three patches were focused on online issues)
I'll start:
Skirmishers used to have 5 speed! That was fun. Losing 20 musks to 5 skirmishers.
Jans used to have 24! ranged attack and 18!! melee attack, Abus used to have 22 range and 40% ranged resistance.

the old french vill rush lol or even the british gettinng skirms from church sweet...(ppl never used to expect skirms from the brits back in the day)
Re: Aoe3 nostalgia
man reading some of the stuff u posted makes me realize I really did miss a lot of stuff in the early AOE3 days. I honestly can't remember any of those types of things. Probably the earliest issue I can remember is the uhlan bug where uhlans from shipments would count in ur population even after they were dead
Re: Aoe3 nostalgia
I came late, just before TAD was released but i remember my first online games. I won like 15 in a row and jumped to master sarge in the first week of haveing the game. I still remember the guy who taught me the basics in one or two unrateds but he doesnt even play anymore. BTW i dnot get nostalgic im only 18, some of you old folks on the other hand........
Re: Aoe3 nostalgia
I remember the blackwatch+2 falc british FF lol, way long ago. I hardly remember online since it was about 3.5 years ago but I do remember that strat, along with the 15 jan early rush by ottos.

Re: Aoe3 nostalgia
I remember when we would look at peoples win% inorder 2 get an idea of players skills. Wow he has 66%, that means he wins 2 out of every 3 games....im not playing him, he must b better than me. I need 2 keep my 55%
I remember when having a German civ on ur team was pretty much GG right there.
I remember playing my very 1st game on ESO and thinking 2 myself how much better/cooler/ exciting tha Zone was.
I remember when strategies were still being elaborated and experimented. Once the Jan rush discoevered and tweaked properly every1 was doing it. It was almost like a must do. Every1 had 2 try the popular strats as they were coming out.
What fun.

Re: Aoe3 nostalgia
I remember when I played my first game on ESO. Firstly I was like 'Dude how come I'm not in Imperial age?!?', because I used to play with the comps a lot on Post-Imperial...
I was playing Brits and he was playing French on Orinoco. I just walled up and had about 18 settlers and 9 longbows at 10:00 lmao. The good old days.
Before I joined N3O I was a Lance Corporal hehe, goes to show how much this clan changes people, with regards to both skill and maturity.

Re: Aoe3 nostalgia
oh they joy of having 33 strelets out before any other corporal was so much fun, got called a cheater a few times
my first rated games was a NR30, which sounded like a cool idea at first. After 30 minutes, i had maybe 20 veteran musketeers and a few longbows only to get anihilated by imperial cannons etc... thats where my NR career ended lol

Re: Aoe3 nostalgia
a yes, the pure joy of knowing nothing. I often played an otto turtle in those days and it was such a surprise I actually won a lot of games with it,lol
Yep going on win % and no realising that high wins are pretty beatable noob bashers.
The joy of going from corporal to sergeant.
and then master sergeant!
what an achievement
