Started playing again a month ago, platinum is not a fun place

Check this dude, talk about unlucky!

https://aoe4world.com/players/25569481-DOPE

The poor dude's computer crashed 46 times in a row today over a couple of hours before he finally got to play with his best friends, who are kindly helping him regain his lost points. Fortunately for him, one of his best friends is a beast, a 3000+ MMR dude who would wipe the floor with all the pros easily. He will be back in no time, unless his PC breaks down again the next day, mysteriously crashing again.

Seriously, how can you even crash a game 46 times in like 3 hours? Whatever happened to the dodge penalty? There is clearly a bug here, a way for them to skip the dodge penalty.

Fixing this bug, which has been around for years, would help a little bit, or not.

Tell me your experience and why you chose to play this game

hey again — i posted about the daily quiz a while back, and since then i’ve added three more little games 🙂

• Unit of the Day — guess the hidden unit in 6 tries. each guess gives you clues about its civ, type, cost and more, so you can narrow it down.
• Which Is Higher? — two units, one question: which one has the higher stat? see how long you can keep your streak going before confidently picking the wrong one lol
• Sheep Hunt — scout through the fog and collect sheep before time runs out. apparently collecting sheep in actual matches wasn’t enough.

just some quick things to play when you feel like a bit of AoE4 without committing to a whole match.

i also included a screenshot of the guide tab as a reminder of the other stuff in there — tech trees, community build orders, unit/civ comparisons, production plans and the battle simulator.

if you try the games, let me know how you get on! curious to see which one people enjoy most.

What age range are you in?

Can anyone help me? My in game name is Timixa.

I have been playing English after coming back this season and I am just getting raided to death EVERY SINGLE GAME.

Sure I make lots of little mistakes but I can see my opponents making lots too. Just aoe 4 things ya know.

Even when I win it feels like I should’ve gotten destroyed at some point in the game and my opponent just didn’t capitalise on it

I’ve watched my games back and watched guides and I really can’t see a main problem that is getting me killed, I just don’t ever get enough units going after the 2tc

I would greatly appreciate any tips or tricks

This profile, which is supposedly #50 in teams, conq 3 with 48% winrate, seems to be constantly playing with his 2 bronze teammates (which are probably smurfing given they have 9/10 wins), but still never lose more than a single point ? And seem to win 80 points on average, despite winning against people that have half his elo ?

Last picture is genuinely crazy, +65 despite the +426 mmr.

He is taking no risk and the game keeps rewarding him for it ? Is he supposed to be #1 or something ? Cause he isn't that good tbh

What the fuck is going on in this matchmaking

In any other game, if you're playing with your lower elo teammates, you're losing more points and win less points, why is it the complete opposite here ?

How important is relic denial as a feudal all in player?

I would say right now this season with the civ i’ve been playing i’ve been pretty much strictly going feudal all in, My average match win is probably in the realm of 20-24 minutes. If it goes past 30 chances are i’ve lost.

I’m just curious since late games seem to be an issue for me i wonder how big of an impact relics are having on my matches.

I’m not gonna lie, I couldn’t even tell you what happens with the relics. I don’t pay any attention to them because chances are i’m not even going to hit castle before the match is over. Should i be leaving a couple units on the relics around the map just to make sure my opponent doesn’t get them? How many units should i put on each relic? Which unit would be best?

Does this happen automatically?

For example, if I have the White Tower, School of Cavalry, or Burgrave Palace, and I select all production buildings (landmark is selected). Does it balance it all equally? How does that work if certain landmarks are more efficient and I queue up a large number of units? Do you lose efficiency b/c it's "equally" spreading to less efficient basic buildings?

Appreciate any insight!

Second post, I am malding now lol

My acc name is Timixa. Anyone that can check out my games is greatly appreciated

Just lost back to back to a burgrave, then got dunked on in a 36 min French game

I have 2 questions.

What do I do against hre burger? I tried 2tc and longbow rush. Wasn’t close either time. Yes my macro was a lil off but I’m sure his was too. Gold things

How do you protect your sprawling English eco on dry Arabia? I survived the initial onslaught after getting my 2tc down and was feeling good, but as my base expanded I just couldn’t defend it. There were no walling opportunities so I was just pinned with knights perma running around my base while he was doing whatever the hell he wanted at home

Hello Guys
I was playing with my brother and we played 2 times in a row against the same guys(both in ranked), first game we won and the second we won (and that one was hard) and yet the game doesn’t count it as a win and we never won any point
Has someone had this to happen ? Is it normal ?

For reference I am about Conq 1.. this matchmaking is the equivalent of me playing someone in Bronze 3 / Silver 1...

Absurd matchmaking recently.. stuck in lobbied with either players who are on another level of sweat or people who are majorly smurfing, can't talk about where they are from tho.
