Age of Strategy Forums

$!^%!!! I was in the middle of a multiplayer game when this happened and was heavily depending upon my barrackses tovproduce templars when the time came for them as my second wave to heal my wounded troops.... great, time for a new strat lol

looking good!

How would a unit with a gun be a weak unit compared to spears and swords...

well unless one of the starter packs is a wagon and 3 catapults, there is honestly no reason for anyone with half a brain to choose anything other than 4 workers.... i would rather 2 workers over 4 spartans in early game

I did not realize that!! That is a great thing to know! Well I shall be changing up some of my strategies now.

WOOOAH WAIT WHAT!?!?

Thats there some nice stats

Hmm... alot of ideas to take in at once... I really do like many of these concepts, however it would take alot of time and effort to implement these things into the game (i am learning android development myself). And although most of these ideas make sense, the archers in the forest do not at all. ...

Let's make greek fire a technology upgrade for all ships. Cost 8 turns to develop. The fire acts like posion to sea units. The posion is only stopped when the ship is repaired by a worker, goes to town, or to port. The posion should be great. Maybe 1/6 of a units life. I approve. I have personally ...

Hey dude your skipping your turn, I make people AI if they skip 2 turns.

Yeah I just realized the tourneys are closed the other day, looking forwards to the next time though!

Hm, mameluks were basically a muslim knight. Would it have similar stats?

Ohhh, I am a complete idiot, I was thinking a new unit, not an upgrade tech. For an upgrade tech heavy catapult would make sense, since it is just an upgraded version. I like the idea

Still think monganel would make a cool new unit though

1. LOTS of workers. The only way to counter this strategy is workers of your own or rush. 2. Pikemen/halberdeirs. They prevent a cavalry rush in the above strategy, and they are dirt cheap. 3. A wagon with 3 catapults. This alone can defeat an entire army. Not much strategy to this one. 4. Horse arc...

hmm, sounds cool. Those stats seem pretty balanced for an upgrade.

although HEAVY catapult is kinda a cheesy name I feel like, especially if it is going to have 2 move. Maybe a mangonel? It's basically just a large, very powerful version of a catapult.

Oh, ok, awesome, thanks, I am an idiot for posting in the recruitment topic

Hey, can I join up with either league? are they still recruiting? I'll join Phoenix if you want

So this is double elimination with a loser's bracket. I really like this idea. How to I sign up for a tourney?

I see what your saying... but I see one issue What if I use a troop, than give him to my ally. My ally uses him then gives him back to me... Kinda cheap, because now that unit got an extra turn. So the only way to do this is have an option where it takes up the units ENTIRE TURN to donate. If you mo...

Dang I just made a 2v2v2, I would have joined.

And lol I just realized you joined my game as my teamate

Woukd this not xompletely overhaul the entire mechanics of the game though?

Oh awesome, I didn't know that, thanks!

Is there anynway I can find a full upgrade tree?

This is exactly why I never use waypoints. The AI can be kinda stupid moving any armies larger than 2 units.

Hey, I have often found it VERY frustrating when I cant find the stats of a unit without building it. A troop stats page for every unit would be nice. Also, the upgrade tree shouldnt be blacked out until you unlock the upgrade before it I don't think. If the upgrade tree made sense - archer stuff in...

Hmm... I could see an evasive ability getting VERY annoying after a while. just throw a few of these guys on the front lines, with some archers to back them up, and as the opponent keeps trying to kill these little evasive guys you just peck at their front lines with archers. Although I don't see ho...

Banner carriers were typically not meant for combat, they were used as a way to differentiate between different forces. Most average soldiers wore little more than leather or wool tunics, with the more elite soldiers wearing mail or plate. Because soldiers on the battlefield often looked so similar,...

Well if they somehow landed how would they take off again? you cannot simply jump back into the sky

I think they are good just how they are--suicidal air strike units for striking important strategic targets or units that would pose a serious threat to your main force.

I have never really had an issue with battering rams. Depending on what units are giving them support I would say either spartans, templars, or simple swordsmen. Or a combination of all three is always fun
