The Legend of "iSit" (Low Elo Legends)

[@eoin8274]

A lot of people might be less experienced at this game so allow me to explain exactly how Red's strategy works. First, he embraces pacifism saving money that would be spent on military infrastructure. Next, he invests in the education and welfare of his people by funding universities and scientific research. At a certain point he becomes a technological superpower, however his people believe they have risen above the need for conflict with lesser nations. As a result they would rather share their economic success, and build a grand fleet of trade ships to bring wealth from across the seas. This is where the Machiavellian brilliance of iSit is revealed in full. He engages in a "false flag" operation, sinking his own civilian ships and rousing his people to patriotism and war. At this point he diverts funding towards a navy of unparalleled strength, and the rest is history.

Hi Xylor here, around 600 ELO... I played isit, same map, last Friday / Saturday. I took him out completely on all three islands, playing reasonably normally (for me)... He eventually had no docks or villies, BUT he used this strat and had the water... about 20 cannon galleons / few fire ships left by the time I ran out of safe resources... I had no relics, with no bombard cannon tech available. I had to go through an ridiculously slow process of massing a group of villies, (lots of periods where nothing happens so not entertaining to watch), then they all go at once to cut wood near the shores (whilst getting bombed down!), to go back to middle (where i had a safe spot out of range), to remake farms, to make more villies! I even had spies! He had every coast covered and patrolled... ! I tried reasoning, since he couldn't win, but he reasoned neither could I with no safe resources! So I literally went to bed and had a good nights sleep! (This would be most boring game ever to watch for the duration 5 hours!!) Unbelievably, He stayed up keeping watch all night!!! I won't reveal what happened next, but the game ended up being at least 17 hours game time!), iSit said, he has never lost a game like this! He is indeed, a true legend!! :D

[@nessesaryschoolthing]

I used to do this on AoE3 against the AI. Just destroy the AI's docks and patrol the shore lines so they can never make navy to fight you. It takes forever, but it's not so scary because you basically never have any chance of losing. As a child, it made sense to do, lol

@@RTB3550 Thing is, lots of the newer players love camping anyway. It would teach many people to be more aggressive, and it would lend legitimacy to a defensive playstyle

[@BirdMoose]

When I was much newer I played a ton of games where my strategy was go full defense and conserve gold then just wait until the other player ran out of gold attacking me so I could finally do an attack and they'd have minimal units to defend. Maybe just go for a wonder if it was enabled. It very rarely worked lol, but those games remind me of this a ton.

[@MrThomasCWest]

6:20 - To answer your question about winning defensively on this map, you blockade each side of the center island, build Towers around the coastline of the center island with overlapping defense zones, then set up a blockade of their island. The only attacking you will have to do is clearing out the shipyards. Eventually, all the opponent can do is produce food to trade for other resources.

I know why he made trade cogs. It's because in AOE2 the button to build elite cannon galleon is right on top of the button to build trade cogs on the second page. When you select multiple docks it can sometimes take you back to the first page after you hit the button once, causing any spam clicking to build one of the correct ship and a bunch of others accidentally.

I am 35 yrs old and have been playing AOE since the beginning. This is the gameplan I use!! I always thought of it as the economic route to win on a water map. Build defense heavy until the first large attack comes, after you hold it off youve researched the ships you need. The amount of wood you were getting was all for the ships. Take out anything you see with the bombards while you research heavy cavalry and gunpowder. The economy pays for everything easy after that first attack is held off!

As someone who has exploited a lot of AIs in various RTS games, the way you beat your opponent without attacking (directly) is denying the enemy his resources, typically by claiming all of the land with defensive structures (or cheesy walls if the AI is dumb).

[@rattler9246]

My only experience with migration was playing against AI (I only ever play AI). I decided to play against extreme and got obliterated, but held on with a transport and a group of villagers that I kept moving around and gathering resources where I could until I got attacked. Eventually made enough navy to take water control and ended up basing on the AI's island, while keeping it trapped in the middle. It took over 3 hours, but I eventually regrew from absolutely nothing and whittled down the AI. It helps that the AI ran out of resources and I kept bombing down the monastery, eventually stealing the relics for myself.
