Do you guys play Rise of Rome or original? I remember original, didn't even have queueing.

Also there's no Byzantine in Age of Empires, do you mean Babylonian?

Yes! I was never good at remembering those names lol

This game is all !out early rushes. Just practice proxy rax and rushing. Workers are super spread out so your apm should allow you to kill all his workers while they are gathering. As for a humilation strat, build walls around his town center and so his workers can't get out. Walls build fast so bring like 3 workers and get that shit done super fast lol.

LOL I feel like giving this one a try hahaha

how'd that thing go with the german girl lol? Did he fuck her or did they just stay friends?

+ Show Spoiler +
It was hilarious.
The girl started hanging out a lot with this other guy and my friend thought he was beginning to lose "his chance" and had to make a move asap; he asked her out in front of all of us just to have her and everybody else stare at him with an expression of awkward awe on her face (I tried not to burst into tears). This, apparently, made him immediately turn around and gallop out the building. Afterward, she publicly apologized to him for having "made him misunderstand her intentions." Then he started saying he'll promise to stay single forever, blah, blah, just to have another friend of mine find him on a dating website LOL

Random map was shit in AoE, it was about whoever rushed chariot archers first, and if you didn't pick a nation with the +30% villager speed, you basiaclly can't win.

I stuck to Archer Wars (yamato/hittite micro speed wars) and Choson (legions + towers) wars, and became extremely good at them about 5-7 years ago when MSGamingzone was running and populated heavily.

Nuke War (e-mc2 trooper, make 1, kill town center.) and Wonder Wars (4v4, rush wonder while other 3 teammate defended) were also fun.

I don't know if the rushing changed in Rise of Rome, we only played the original.

Actually no. I'm sorry. I forgot to multiply that number by 10; as I write this, there are 12,959 people playing AoE1 (1v1s) with 90% of them being Vietnamese and another thousand being Europeans.

Damn o_o that's more active players than ICCup has had.

Just tool rush lol.

AoE is all about tool rushing.

AoE2 is all about flushing.

Your opponent will probably do something like an AoE version of a 4/6 pool or worker rush and rely on his practiced micro to beat you.

I think it'd be fun to go mass-catapult and just crush him with that, even if it's extremely ineffective :p
Otherwise you could also fill the map with towers, deny him his resources and go AFK for an hour.

God the gaming Zone was great! I played rated RoR and AoK and AoC on there, as well as a lot of chess. It was a huge part of my childhood, and I was sad to see it go : (
