I played my first game last night without lag.

It's been two weeks so I was super slow in my APM but it was fun. I also need to get used to having a new UI and graphics since the reinstall and I forget all my old settings.
Watch up, i'm coming for your PR. :twisted:

I only played one game with them and they seem to be more 'balanced'. Not as strong on sea/TP maps, but at least have some hope on maps like Bayou. Of the 12 civs I would place them at about 7th overall.

Well, I think Drew means that the 12 civ which he can play. I wonder which other two he doesn't like to play.

[quote=""StrokeyBlofeld""]Here you go Lazy, I've been using the Ekanta UI's since I got AOE3.
Ekanta UI
It's transparent and provides all sorts of details and features. I find it much better than the stock UI.
(UI = User Interface).[/quote]
Ty Sir.

That UI is awesome. I feel like such a noob never knowing about stuff like that.
And I was going to correct drew that there are 13 civs. Glad I didn't. Doh!
:-P

Ekanta's UI is the best, I'm using it for quite some time. It takes some time to get used to it but you have a larger view.

Ja, just used it now. I am still coming to terms with it, but it is more helpful than normal UI. Are there any other useful mods that we noobs should know?

One other. If you press ctrl + alt + delete twice really fast as soon as a game hits the 2:00min mark, your graphic card gets a boost.

Due to lag problems I also use the low lag homecity mod that removes hcs animation, in case anyone's interested. That's all, I think.
