So I was playing 8 players Nomad on Megarandom and like 25 minutes into the game, I suddenly get sniped out, I lose the game straight away without losing my king nor my landmarks. I want to check the replay to elaborate what really happened because I also saw 2 sacred sites captured but the timer wasn't nowhere near over, turns out the game doesn't give me the replay of the match? It is simply not there but on AoE4 world it is listed but my name is not red as in "match lost", my player name is still white. Do I have another opportunity to rewatch or download the match files? Did something happen with AoE servers? I didn't lose connection at any time. It kind of smells like some weird hack maybe? Can someone relate with similar experiences? Anybody got a clue what that possibly was? I never witnessed that in any AoE4 game I had and I played a crap ton of hours in it.

Every map rotation the same thing happens: a water map comes into the pool, I lose my first two or three games on it badly, get frustrated, and then just ban it for the rest of the season. Which means I never actually learn water, which means next rotation is identical. So I'm curious what everyone else does: - Do you ban water outright, or do you force yourself to play it? - If you play it, did you pick up a second civ specifically for water maps, or do you just play your main even if its not great on water? - If you did learn a water civ, which one, and how long before it stopped feeling miserable? My mains are Ottomans and Rus and neither feels great to me on water right now, so I'm considering learning a third civ just for those maps. Not sure if that's the right call at my level or if I'd be better off spending that time on my mains and just banning.

The polls (part 1, 2 and 3) are still active but these are the clear winners (comparing to others) These polls are made to determine the most versatile Civ/Var (efficient in all situations if used well) Please note that since I can only create 6 options I had to create 3 parts: Link part 1: https://www.reddit.com/r/aoe4/s/WIvkRa8xsj Link part 2 : https://www.reddit.com/r/aoe4/s/Ut3QYuKKxJ Link part 3: https://www.reddit.com/r/aoe4/s/v5q9tAwXVp Thanks View Poll

I've been enjoying the game playing 2v3v3 with absurd bots with a friend. We play nomad only and we like a lot on being in a totally random map. We found one in workshop called ultrarandom and it is indeed ultra random. You might find 60 sheeps or 40 boars or on side of gigantic map have all the gold and the other side have all the stone (rare, but happened) or having 2 sacred sites in one corner and 1 at the exact opposite. Anyway you get the drill. The problem is when water exists. Don't get me wrong, i love naval fights, and dock eco but the AI might find a pond and create in 30 pixels 80 demoships and literally destroy our fps even if we have high end gaming pcs. The question is, have you found and similar that much random map in workshop that has no water at all? Any suggestion is welcome and appreciated!

The assumption was you needed more food than just your sheep and you would evacuate back to your main TC and start gathering from your sheep once your opponent attacked you in Feudal. The longer it takes to walk to the deer and back, the worse deer becomes, relatively speaking. In the calculation I used real gathering rates, not ideal theoretical gathering rates. The assumption in this scenario is no upgrades and no civ bonus. The gathering rates used: Berries: 32.93 food per minute. Deer: 41.70 food per minute. The table shows Minutes = The number of minutes you spend gathering. Walk Time = The total number of seconds you spend walking to and from the deer pack instead of collecting resources. Berries = How much food you gathered from berries. Deer = How much food you gathered from deer. Deer Advantage = How much more food in % you get by going for deer compared to berries. Conclusion Walk time 30 seconds = Deer beat berries after 3 minutes. Walk time 40 seconds = Deer beat berries after 4 minutes. Walk time 50 seconds = Deer beat berries after 5 minutes.

If villagers get 3 seconds less of production time. From 40 to 37 sec. Why Traders production time are exactly 1 min, shouldn’t it be 55 seconds give or take?

Until when we can wait to get the “reconnect” button in case you had network issues or electricity issue and u lose the game and can’t reconnect and waste 20-30 minutes without any reward?
