Everyone has their weaknesses in-game.

Post here what you think your biggest weakness in games is.

Do you overboom too much? Do you have trouble with vill distribution at any point?

Discuss.

I have problems identifying danger in AoE3. For example, sometimes I don't pay attention to when my vills are getting massacred by german sword-weilding hooligans on horseback. And usually it's somebody else who has to say "dude, get back you nub".

:D

Biggest problem is to watch my Vills i think. Sometimes i walk into stupid battles i can't win.

I never understand when is a good time to attack in a teamgame. When I usually say attack, we lose a lot of guys :(

Lategame macro and miscalculating strats when playing civs I'm not used to. My boom sucks unless I got vill cards or I play boom civs too.

I find that I tend to play aggressive almost all the time, and lose my army more then a few times in battles that should not have taken place where/when they should.

All I have to say is early game army. If I do not get attacked early on and I suspect that you are booming i stop making guys and try to boom and then I sometimes get nailed by the other guys massive army and lose

Pushing bad attacks too far, and then retreating with so few guys that they all get killed on the way out anyway.

Just an initial top 10:

1. Not having a map specific strategy
2. Running a one deck suits all plan
3. Inefficient food collection which slows time to age 2
4. Incorrect allocation of villagers
5. Bad building placement
6. Not pressing advantage when I win a battle
7. Not using explorer properly after early age 2
8. Not booming hard enough middle/late game
9. Bad troop choice/micro late game
10. Failure to remember late game upgrades - arsenal anybody?

Mainly though, rubbish scouting is my worst weakness!!

My mid-game boom with certain civs.

I find it "difficult" to get 3 TC's down in some situations to keep good vil production going.

My main problm is getting that early rush. For some reason I become nervous and misclick, ruining my micro. Ship wrong cards and generally suck. If u atack me after 9-10 mins then Ill manage better. This is where Sportings skills truly come into play. I simply cant be as agressive as he is so ealry, nor can I defend properley that early.
