Whats the objectively best civ at Aoe2? I like the Breton archers, but they suck hard at anything that aren't those archers, so i like playing with Byzantines defensively.

this game sucks :D:D:D

>Breton archers
You're so stupid and you don't even know it

Mechanically speaking, the pace is pretty casual.

>Briton Longbowman
*Fixed, you salty cunt.

Aztecs, Mayans, Huns, Mongols, Goths

motherfucking army of elephants

...

>play ffa
>pick portuguese
>turtle until the sun burns out
>sweep the map with hundreds of expensive gold units

works 10% of the time

any HA unit is pretty broken

Hello there

>horrible damage
>gets ravaged by any cheap infantary
>but muh bonus against bows

Cavs
Cav Archers
Trebs

These 3 units are literally all you need to steamroll fucking everyone you moronic fucks

>gold
>gold
>more gold
Enjoy getting fucked in the late game.

>not securing every pile of gold you find with walls (and castles if it is a lot of gold and stone)
Guess what, even trash units require wood and you need to conquer wood. I rather melt through my gold but control large forests and piles of gold, than have like 2000 gold, but are on the verge of extermination.

>tfw you opponent is a retard and leads every unit he has against you
>tfw had just enough of these ISIS rejects stashed away near his bases to blow up his town centers
>scream TAKBIR into discord chat as I blow up his base

INSHALLAH

really though those absolute madmen have given me the edge on more than one occasion. watching those retards actually saunter up to their target and shit all over its health bar is fantastic

*blocks your path*

For me it's the Huns. Intelligent, nihilistic, and with a wicked scout rush.

>using them to fight
You send groups of 5 under each enemy TC and camp and watch the fireworks.

Byzantine, this isn't even a question.

>I can't choose which tech I want so I just play Byzantines
Fuck off.

>I have to go.

I think you've made it when you can just let go of an easy win to do other things.

Black Forest is literally retard mode.

But they are objectivelly the best at defense, playing Byzantine is going turtle mode, everything else is secondary to then, and should just come as a answer.

>I love fish boom
>always get raped by knights

You're mostly dealing with people who will with 2 layers of walls when they see your drush, mate. What do you expect.

How do you even use walls to defend against a Drush? it doesn't make sense.

It's a joke, user.

Thats not what he was taking exception with. Britons fucking blow. Byzantines too.

And longbows are dumb when you can just rush crossbowmen and kill your opponent without ever having to build a castle.

You fail to do that and you die.

Black forest should be removed from the game tbqh

It's like you hate free ELO boost, user.

not aoe but are any of the aom gods considered a naval god or do some have paths that focus on water forces?
