Age Of Empires 2 (2 Viewers)

[kony]

in a Michi or DM game, one basically has too many resources to be able to spend it on cheap units like halberdiers. it takes at least 2v1 to take down an elephant, and so what if u got 60 elephants? (which is entirely plausible)

you'll need 120 halberdiers. which is somewhat stretching plausibility. then you got the elephant trample effect, meaning the halberdiers get one hitted.

as for calvary archers, they're weak against everything and you gotta hit and run, which means you gotta control the units personally, leaving everything else unattended to = quick loss.

maybe Aztec monk squad is a counter...

I love this game and I still have it installed.

join #hsc @ au.austirc.net through mIRC and we can arrange some MP games, guys.

30/40 Mamelukes > 60 Elephants.

Also, if you can't micro cav archers, you will lose.

Agreed on both counts. Mamelukes just generally pwn though as long as you don't let them die. They're like liquid gold.
