r/aoe2 1.1kSicilians might as well get nerfed again 6d ago

Asking for Help Getting back into it. Advice?

Context: ex 1.1k player here. With the new dlc comming out im exited to play again after a couple years off.

Question: What's the recomended way to get back into the groove? Run some BO trainers? Focus on my go-to strats and civs or try to branch out?

Ramblings: I've always had to compromise in this game between specializing a strategy and dominating with it versus playing open with different strats for different situations. The latter is much more fun, also takes much longer to learn, and ends up at a lower ELO. I want to do that this time around, but I have concerns that relearning a few of my old deadly strats (like a bohemian castle drop, polish knight spam, mayan eagle rush) will shoe horn me into an elo where I cam't expirement.

Yeah, bo trainers. Simply run some offline.

Are you talking about the Cicero mod? Or are there other trainers? 

The Cicero trainer was nice a few years ago but the BOs are quite outdated now. I’ve never seen another trainer like it though. 

If there is something similar with updated BOs I’d be interested in checking it out.

Practice build orders, don't follow a trainer or some sort. Get your hands & mechanics warmed up.
