I genuinly havnt played this game in 20 years. When i was a really little kid like 4 or 5 i played 1v7 on max difficulty and games would take me 5hrs to sometimes several days. After coming back ive been struggling with just hardened difficulty. After watchimg this series i finally beat the hardened. Soi went into my first 3 online matches and won 2 out of 3. I am a very experienced RTS player but i only had 1 disc so i could only use 5 diff civs. Itll take me a long time to learn all the civs but youve given me such a solid foundation to build on. Thank you very much

@baradin_aoe99913 жыл бұрын
I wanna offer an additional idea for the monk micro here: if you have a monk group of let's say 10 and you manually select groups of 3-4 monks and then shiftclick the conversions with the theocracy tech then you could actually come even better as the disadvantage of the shift-queueing is obviously that you have to go with 10 monks through 10 conversion-cycles. Like that you would get it down to 3 conversion cycles with manageable micro-management. Maybe worth trying that hybrid-idea.
@SurvivalistAoE3 жыл бұрын
Yes, this would be even better in an actual game. The more actions you put in to microing your monks, the more you'll get out of it. It comes down to if you can afford the additional actions.

Not 100 % sure but is the delete-"micro" on mangos still a thing? I'm pretty sure, I heard T90 saying in one of his videos (I don't know from when, maybe an older LEL video or a more recent one from the titans league), that the devs fixed this. Or maybe I just misunderstood him and he talked about some other things (the topic was these "it's not a bug, it's a feature" things in aoe2 like housewalls, deleting mangos, de-aggroing boars with buildings etc.)

@@d2scamsta If you like other strategy games it shouldn't be that hard and even then, it depends on how high on the ladder you want to get. Microing for example isn't nearly as important as producing vils constantly and get a good eco up and running, which is fairly easy, especially with some RTS-background. So you don't have to learn it all and even then, DauT for example, who is arguably a top 10 (or top 20 at the very least) player at the game is pretty bad at microing (compared to other pro-players). You can get to a pretty decent level with just good (not even great) macro and strategic knowledge of the game without ever microing a single unit.
