Age of Empires 2 - The Conquerors

Age of Empires 2 - The Conquerors

Defeating your enemies with Arbalest:
-------------------------------------

You can easily defeat any infantry from i.e.(Elite Teutonic Knight to Militia)
using your Arbalests. To accomplish this you must build an archery camp research
the archer to crossbowman and then to arbalest. These Arbalests when fully
researched e.g. (Carthaginian Tactics) are extremely powerful in range attack
and somewhat weak in combat. Just create 15 arbalests, Double-Click any one to
select all of them and just Right-Click to attack any enemy infantry or cavalry.
When our men they will come nearer to attack the enemy infantry attack the
arbalests. Since the arbalests are more in number the enemy infantry will die
on their way when trying to reach our men. The arbalests have very long range
so that they can easily kill the infantry and siege units. If they (enemies)
follow this technique it will be a problem to you so please be quicker.
If more doubts persists, Mail me.

Hint:
-----
On the mill you will find an icon saying "reseed farm".now
select the mill then press F3(game is paused)then see if you have
enough wood then start clicking on the icon.after sometime stop
clicking.then press F3 again.you will have lots of reseeds in the
list.this will help you concentrate on the game than giving your
villagers farms again and again.

Hint:
-----
You should always study the tech tree and see the
specialites of your civilization and always scout
the enemy base and study their base.If you lose a
game then you should think how did my enemy win,
how did I lose? Think over it and don't make the
same mistake next time.

Hint:
-----
You should always build walls and towers to protect
yourself and always place walls from one forest to
another, never build walls from one mine to forest
or mine to mine or forage bush to mine otherwise when
you have collected all the resources in the mine that
part of the wall will become open and the enemy will
enter as soon as the wall has become open.

Hint:
-----
Bigger doesn't always better...they said. If you wanted to
win a war (in multiplayer game) you should plan your tactical
and political skills. You could 'use' your ally as your
defensif structure and then after you almost defeat your
enemy, change your diplomatic stances to your ally as enemy
after your troops get in their town center and the attack and
demolish your ally and then you could be the single leader

Hints:
------

Take time to study the new civilizations and their
technologies through the tech tree in the game.

You can garrison units inside siege rams, which helps
protect them against missile weapons. This is very
handy when you're trying to storm enemy walls.

Definitely use the farm queue; it'll cut down on your
micromanagement of farmers. Just be careful; 75 pieces
of wood get used every time you queue a farm.

this is more of a proggramming thingy:
--------------------------------------


-go into the msdos-type C:
-press enter-type dir\p *or* dir/p
-push enter
-look for the dir of aoe2 game file
-type it in
-push enter
-now type in the following:

/(edit)(.exe)aoecon)/runtime/error/bypss-prot/longrunedit/(exe.)
file/gheus/con//:(*>allunit

Hint:
-----


IN ur mill there is a reseed farm button normally u can have a
list of only 15 farms.now here is the best part.When u click on
the mill press F3 button of ur keyboard.The game is paused.
now press "F" button on ur keyboard to enlist farms.
keep on pressing to ur hearts content,
if u had kept on pressing fer someime u will find that u hv no list.
the point is that u set up such a big list of farms that the computer
is unable to show it. IMPORTANT-u better hv lots of wood.


Hint:
-----


While creating units or reseeding farms we have to click a lot of
times.So while creating units or reseeding farms press shift and
then click to creat an unit or reseeding farms.It will create or
reseed 5 units or farms.

Hint:
-----

Now,to easily destroy all enemy buildings,create a large number of patards
(saboteur unit),group them and sneak them into enemy's base.take them to
important buildings but make sure you don't go to near military units.
Guide them and attack the building.8-10 patards can destroy a castle,town
center &other strong buildings.Create many,Destroy all!Good luck!

Hint:
-----


At the start of a game to get a goos start just build as many villagers as u
can and get them to build a mill and work on the forrage bush once that is
all done put some villagers on Farms and Woodcutting now u should have a head
start of the other civalisations.

Hint:
-----


In hardest mode if some player(computer) makes neutral with you then afterwards
he asks for resourses from you failing which he attacks you. well you can avoid
being enemy with him by saying 'no' (no 2 in chat menu) to him just after he asks
you for resourses.

Hint:
-----


always attack the enemy base and break their gate while you are fighting send some
villagers and build your on gate there you shuold complete it for your entrance
purpose and they will not attack it and after completing all gates around them which
should be your they will be locked so do not destroy the walls but only gates and all
the enemy when locked like this all the resources outside are yours and they will
become weak by having no resources.

Hint:
-----

If you want to take control of many resources in age of empires 2 and the map always
try to attack the enemy base first by destroying their gates first the n you should
retreat although they will attack but when they are cooled send some villagers and
try to build a gate from where you broke theirs one.If there are enemies towers or
others things dont worry take as 10 villagers and 1% construction will also be able
to block them but you should try to complete it for your entrance purposes.This formula
is only applied to the small gates for the bigger gates you should complete it 100% for
enemystoppage Then after succeding in locking them clear their outter buildings and
soldiers and when they are locked the rest of the map will be yours and they will become
weak by having no more resources.

Hint:
-----

if you want to gain more resouces you need to create more vilagers.


Hint:
-----
The Spanish are one of the best civilisations. Take the spanish,
concentrate on gathering wood and gold, build up ur navy (especially
Elite Cannon Galleons) and then try to destroy ur enemy.

Hint:
-----
If You have a villager 1st build a town centre upgrade till the imperial
age and well consolidate it and if your completely on land,then send a
full fledged army(cavalry,infantry,archers,siege weapons,petards,2 villager
and three monks) and after clearing a considerably large patch of land near
or in the enemy boundary quickly build 2 castles,town centre,stable,barracks,
archery range,consolidate it with towers and strong cavalry attack the enemy
for sure victory if water is also present send 1st a village to build and
then attack from there.

Hint:
-----
You can easily defeat any infantry from i.e.(archers to wood raiders)
using your Arbalests. To accomplish this you must build an archery range.
Then research the archer to crossbowman and then to arbalest.Then reasearchall
archery reasearchs in blacksmith and archery range.These Arbalests, when fully
researched are extremely powerful in range attack and somewhat weak in combat.
Just create 20 arbalests, Double-Click any one to select all of them and just
Right-Click to attack any enemy infantry or cavalry.It will take time to kill
battering,capped and siege rams;cavarly.When they will come nearer to attack
the enemy infantry attack the arbalests.
Since the arbalests are more in number the enemy infantry will die
on their way when trying to reach our men. The arbalests have very long range
so that they can easily kill the infantry and siege units. If they (enemies)
follow this technique it will be a problem to you so you haveto be quicker.
If more doubts persists, Mail me.
tip:you will atlaest 36 to destroy a castle.this doesn't work on longbowmen
(english unique unit).

Hint:
-----
if you are playing regicide first attack their castle and emedatly
when the king want to flee just kill and him you will win.
