was so much fun.. I love that the map is always random created within certain boundaries, so you have to a) Scout properly b) adjust strategy to the given map Imho it's adds diversity and skill | ||

I ve a very cool banner with bling winning a tournament, I ll upload it in a sec. To the guy above^ just forward and tower rush... for almost every of those maps exists a certain strategy  Beside he can never have "all" the gold, learn to scout  you have 100% a 8 field and a 6 field i think gold spot within close range. If you have really bad luck and it's completly in wood ask for save and exit, but happens soo rarly Best Player Ever: L_Clan_Bender ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/uxVwq.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/JLKoH.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/2aoNl.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/wognC.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/jty7A.jpg) | ||

I loved playing DM, especially Huns Wars on Arabia. Zone.com was a really cozy place and having a 2k rating really gave you the prestige I miss nowadays with SC2.. oh and you could drop trick by just pressing ctrl + alt + dell and using windows 98, hehe  | ||

The Legion clan tournament in Almaty, Kazahkstan, hosted by a suspicious character who loved the game, going out to Korean bars when we were only 16 at the WCG, a lot of great memories. Koven/Grunt were by far the best AoE players, and would do well in SC2. I think guys like GeeK, Chris, Elfanor, (myself?) would all do well in SC2 if we committed to it. Edit: I remember you too GX_Iron; I remember hating that you got to go to that big Microsoft tournament because it was 18+ and I was still 17. Missing me/chris because we were too young was such a bummer. | ||

I remember i saw you on a replay i downloaded xD, i wanted to learn a propoer build order so i dled lot of stuff but never knew how to begin properly. This is like 100 times more difficult than in sc2 to apply the build order. | ||

I think I still remember the build order for Huns (the only 1v1 civ to play in AoC really), it was something like first 7 food, using sheep/getting the boar, then chop the local trees, then make a lumber mill and chop at the forest, then go for a few farms before 24 supply and going to feudal... something like that . | ||

But it added a lot of diversity to games compared to SC2, where maps are all organized and mostly the same. Arch_Koven_ vs L_Clan_Chris Anyone else here remembers scouting with 4 sheep + scout all in different directions and bringing the sheep so you constantly have one alive in your base ready to kill? That actually needed some scouting skillz | ||

Kaoen (sp?) from Tiawan I believe was the first guy doing that. Huns were touchable by Aztecs At least daut made them so. A little drush followed by mass expanding on castle age proceding to get mass pike eagle with +8 and archer. And that was mostly on arabia and some land maps. Huns were not that good in water maps or for instance blackforest. | ||

I was in SWE_ back then.. Zhaz was really good.. also I think Hunter was good but he quit early due to military service I think.. I still get nerdchills when I think of some epic games, SCBW or SC2 doesnt even come close lol Best games was actually on LN 4v4 even tough I think LN destroyed AOC in a way.. it was a fun map but kinda lame at the same time.. BF and Arabia 4ever :D I guess its the random maps and resource management that really got me into AOC, I always thought SCBW was so "easy" because of fixed maps and only 2 resources and just a "few" workers. I am a big macro player.. never had any micro to speak of :D I played SC2 beta.. highest league ofc I think it was diamond? Got back a few months ago with an old friend for 2v2.. did pretty well despite not even playing the game and not reading up on any strats.. | ||
