Same here...i always pick the Goths because of the nice buildings lol...:D

You poor sod. No walls and all infantry = killed.

Actually, the Goths almost never lose against Siege Weapon/Archery civilizations, like the Maya, or Britons. Yeah, put them against the Huns, and you are just plain screwed. The Goths are like the Zerg. Tech their Uniques, and pump them out as fast as you can. A nice Castle Age rush puts many players to sleep.

I'll admit, it's been awhile since I played, but I don't use walls at all.

I meant more like civs with infantry-busting units. Japanese, Byzantines and Aztecs are all good. If you come up against those guys as the Goths, say goodbye. 30 phracts will crush the massed Huskarls and let your rams level the town. EASY.

I really liked Age Of Empires II, the third didn't impress me either. I also like Age Of Mythology a lot.

I only use civilisations with Seige Onagers for the sole reason that I can bust through forestry and perform sneak attacks.

My brother loved to perform sneak attacks with the huns. He would Micro his Trebs until he had cleaved a way all the way around the map if neccesary. And he could do this while fighting with his horsies on the front. Though he was never as aggressive while doing that as he usually was(thus if he seemed to be wanning and there was still plenty of gold left it is time to start trying to predict where he would come out).

He tried that on me once in a multiplayer game. Too bad for him I predicted him and hid a sh*t-load of bombard towers and and walls around them(so his guys could attack the towers directly) just outside the viewing range of his trebs from edge of the forest. He walked right into a trap. Still did considerable damage though.

Huns

Kik

Arse

'nuff said

but theres more!

As great as AOE is, i have to admit the craft games and C&C are beter (was weaned on AOE, #3 doesnt deserve any recognition.)

I agree with the general consensus here in the AoK:TC was the best in the series. I like to play as the Britons, mainly because I love having Cavaliers backed by 80+ fully teched Elite Longbowmen and some Trebuchets. My second favorite civ is the Byzantines.

My favorite part about AoE:III is using cannons to make units fly ever direction. I again like the British because I have the card that allows you to upgrade your Longbowmen to Imperial level, and by then they rock. Also, the music in this game beats the others by far, in my opinion. I absolutely love it.

I used to love that game, but i was really bad at it :(

Huns are good for ONE things, rushing. If they dont rush by castle age or sooner, most people will stand a fair to good chance of beating them. And the seige onager is only really good on Black Forest maps, because i've had that trick pulled often enough to know that you never allow forest to serve as a wall when playing a seige onager civilisation.

Yeah, me too. I don't bother with the PC versions because Civilization IV is really all I need.

yeah AoK is the best one. 3 was alright, but it was easy and got boring.
i never used the seige workshop. if i came against walls, i wuld just get my huge army to attack it quickly (cos im clever :D )

Age of Kings rules. I did not like the fisrt or 3rd one but man, AoK is really good. I always choose the Brits for the long bows. I love making a long wall and having a force of cavalry to ambush any one foolish enough to bring seige equipment to MY wall! :evilking:

Trebuchets and Paladins to guard them would take down the wall easily enough.

I find that in a lot of cases walls weren't really necessary for me. I used to play Teutons (hax~) and I'd just use strategically placed Bombard Towers and Castles to defend my base. Free Murder Holes!

Teutons == auto-win.

I used to play ad the Mongols and the Huns. Faster Siege Weaponry was fun, since Mongols get the movement bonus, and Huns have the Trebuchet fire rate increase. Calvary is almost unstoppable when used correctly.

Well, except aginst the Asia Minor civs.
