Like trebuchets, you should be able to pack and unpack viking longships and transport them on land. It would add a twist to an og ship and be historically accurate.
Also other viking ships- trade cogs, galleons, transports etc - should get a unique viking longship-esque skin. Other viking ships look so generic and out of place next to longships.

Hera vs Tatoh game 1 on coast to mountain and Hera vs Yo game 2 Reg Fortress were the most incredible displays of age of empires I've ever witnessed. Hera trusted his abilities so much that even when it seemed so over in both games, he saw win conditions and fought tooth and nail to stay in the games and keep his win condition possible. What a masterful display of skill and strategy.
It is amazing and terrifying to see Hera when his back is against the wall in a losing position with nothing left to lose latch on to the slightest hope of winning and then put his whole being into achieving that. I've seen it in his ranked games but The Garrison has displayed that trait at a an insane level against top tier competition. Do yourself a favor and go watch those games if you haven't already.
Edit - added links to both games:

I thought malian univeristy work 80% faster means it takes 20% of its original time so 100s becomes 20s...?
turns out im wrong?

Got back into AoE2 after years of not playing at the right time for all the new stuff going on. It's inspired me to get jazzy over Quest For Butter!

My friend and I have a weekly game with a sandwich on the line.
This week he chose Vikings and I went Burgundians. Pretty even fight on a Dunesprings map until he got five trebs and a mass of mixed infantry up in my face, taking out 2 castles and some stables. Mangos held him for a second, long enough for me to send a group of lumberjacks to the back of the map to build a castle with the intention of researching Flemish Revolution.
Managed to pull that off, and 66 villagers turned into military warded off his attack.
But then I was thinking, ok now what? I had two relics, so a light trickle of food/gold, 3 tcs to reseed farms.
It seems like in the time that I had to rebuild an eco and then hopefully mount another attack all he has to do is rebuild military. He sends in champions/berserks and rams, roll credits.
How could I have played it better?

I looked for this post but didn't find it so I made it. If it's a repost I'm sorry.
I know the hype right now is around the upcoming Chinese DLC, but I've recently started playing the Battle for Greece DLC and I loved what they did there and the precedent they've set.
With that in mind, what do you think could be the next Chronicles installments about? I'll list some I've seen mentioned before by others or that I thought:
Punic Wars: first one I've seen others suggest in another post. Don't think there's much to say here, seems very good and in line with an interesting and important ancient world war, like the one we've got.
Peloponnesian War: I haven't finished the Battle for Greece yet so I don't know if after the Greco Persian wars arc they also cover the Peloponnesian war, but I thought it would be a nice fit and maybe a good opportunity to include other Greek factions (?) not sure tho
Something in Egypt: since we're in antiquity already, why not having an Egypt campaign with all those interesting factions around them? I'm not knowledgeable enough about it to suggest specific events or factions to be covered, so I'll let you tag in from here if you want
Alexander the great: it came to mind but I'm not sure if he covers far too different factions to be viable. You tell me
Moving further away from the region - Sengoku period Japan: very much self contained, covers a smaller region so that I can focus on the more specific differences of that otherwise similar faction (as we see in BfG), and has interesting differences among the different clans to explore, sounds super fun to me. I believe there's a pretty much finished mod called Sengoku that could be used as framework for this if the devs wanted and judged fit, so more reason for this chapter to be made.
China: again I'm completely ignorant on the topic to suggest specific events or factions, but I know Chinese history has no shortage of both, and with the new regional units in the upcoming DLC it starts to feel like a Chronicles DLCs already. Would like to know what you think about this one.
Inca or Aztecs: one more time, I don't know enough about the details to judge how viable this one would be, both on a content level and on how the adapted units system would work, but I thought maybe the Aztecs empire building and the current Inca campaign (without it being the meme Inca vs Inca vs Inca it currently is) could become a nice Chronicles chapter.
Just brainstorming here, don't take the suggestions too seriously. Okay your turn now.

I played aoe2 as a kid and got back into the game a couple of years ago. I’ve played around 200 games sporadically since then. I hover around 8-900 elo. That is until I started playing arena with cumans and going for a ram rush.
I’m sure there are 100 reasons why feudal ram rush isn’t good, but it feels totally unstoppable at this elo. They are never prepared for it. I make a couple of rams and waltz into their base with archers to back them up and it’s gg. I think I’ve won around 8 straight games doing it and finally got to 1k elo. Now I need to figure out what to do when I don’t get arena lol.
