I just bought the age of empires bundle on steam, if i recall correctly, quite a few NW goons play aoe2hd and aoe3 right?

I'll play aoe2 with you ABC! There's also an AOE2HD thread where you can try to find other goons to play with too.

Also midterms are the worst. My playing time is going to be severely hampered until summer quarter hits :(.

British cav is still horribly poo poo, and they wasted time and effort on this instead of throwing up some Hussars? I disagree heavily.

I'm sorry for being happy over a dumb feature that they probably didn't spend more than 5 minutes implementing.

I can't believe that admin tried to justify balance by merely pointing at numbers. Equal numbers don't mean poo poo if one side is completely fragmented by many regiments and don't have an effective way to communicate and one side is controlled by a single regiment that can order a blob death charge to overwhelm us. Regiment sizes matter. The more fragmented a team is the less the numbers tend to matter.

It's a shame really. The EU siege event used to be consistently one of the more enjoyable events that I've played on. I understand the need to play around with numbers with large events like that but the utter ignorance that admin showed with the balance pisses me off more than anything.

I was wondering what happened in that siege event that upset you guys so much. So the admin split up the regiments between the two sides and tried to justify it by saying it made the teams have even numbers? That's pretty awful.

Lemme guess: the blob death-charging regiment was coincidentally the same regiment the admin belonged to?

Pretty much. One side was a single regiment of about 60 and our side was 5-7 regiments totalling 55 ish. They had communication superiority and could coordinate a gently caress you charge blob on the offensive while we could only trickle in a regiment at a time.

Seriously though, we should instantly pull out of any game where an admin ignores balance like that.

What brought about the must affix bayonets rule? Is that the standard N&S rule nowadays? I guess it's good to encourage the melee aspect of the game by making the guns less accurate but I don't see that as being enforceable since pubbies love a good drawn out sniper war.

You have no idea who you are talking to Gimnbo. He's an untamable beast. He will do whatever he wants to do. There's nothing we can do except call out, "ban balboa forever..." and even that will be in vain.

Officer Cecil_Featherbottom reporting in, chaps! You can find me any day filling as many holes as I'm allowed, or urging the men on to hold tight as possible as we're breached. Many a man's fluids have been sprayed upon me in the midst of battle-- it would turn any other man away, but there's still a ruckus in this old soldier. I've penetrated more men than can be counted; some times eye to eye, but I'm known to leave my dignity in the gun powder and put all of my strength into one big thrust from the rear when it is needed. And needed it is! This is war, after all! Why look at the blood upon my spear.

No man can be counted on more to rally at the ol' pole than Featherbottom, sir.

A leader, a hole patcher, a massager as well as messenger. The every man who loves every soldier: Cecil_Featherbottom

You can rally me into an open hole any day.

I must say, with the new tweaked rules, the KPR event is a lot less entertaining. It doesn't drag on forever now and both goon and pub burn out is quite rare with them going.

I thought it was a lot more entertaining?

Hello.

We are playing Total War games after line battles at some point this week, so install the only good Total War game; Shogun 2. (Because both everyone has that one and Napoleon is boring.) We did this a long time ago and everyone but Charlie, fun-hater, enjoyed it.

Charlie is playing.

I don't have shogun 2. Suck it, funhavers

We were riflemen and there wasn't any cav. The combination of guns that sort of shoot where you point them with the complete avoidance of melee worked out well for us.
