Editor Question - Triggers/other tools to let Villagers gather from fish traps? Editor Question - Triggers/other tools to let Villagers gather from fish traps?

I want to create a scenario in the far north in winter, basically using fish traps to simulate ice fishing. I can make Villagers build them easily enough, but they cannot gather from them. Any way around this?

I would prefer to use triggers or something that doesn't require modding because I am new to editing and have no idea how to make a mod, but I'll take what I can get. Thanks!


Hard win but connection lost/out of sync.. Therefore no rank gained. Hard win but connection lost/out of sync.. Therefore no rank gained.

At least 1/10 ranked games I experience this annoying connection lost issue. This particular time I sent a group of scouts to the back of my opponents base on aggressive stance. They basically killed almost all of his economy and when he realised he most definitely pulled his internet cable out of the pc. Now I'm not accredited the win which is quite annoying.

If you lose connection u should lose the game in my opinion. Too bad if your internet sucks. Having a laggy connection isn't fun the opponent either.

One of the longest if not my longest ranked game in aoe2 One of the longest if not my longest ranked game in aoe2
https://preview.redd.it/one-of-the-longest-if-not-my-longest-ranked-game-in-aoe2-v0-ceyqq4sjgyad1.png

As the title already says this is one of the longest game I think I ever had in a while, most games end up before the 25-30 minute mark and some just go up to 2 hours but god damn 4 hours in game time. I do remember than one video on yt about Andrei and some other guy having a 90h blast with each other. I definetely was brain burned after this one. Just gave up at this point because I needed a big bathroom break.

Map was Amazon Tunnel. Picture is a bit older tho since the map isnt in rota this week.

What were your longest games?






Playing archer rush vs a fully walled player. How should I change my strategy? Playing archer rush vs a fully walled player. How should I change my strategy?

Hey all,

I am a relatively new AoE2 player (for a bit more than 3 months). Few weeks ago I was able to beat Extreme AI with archer rush. My main civs are Mayans, Ethiopians, and Britons.

However, few days ago I played a couple of games online in which I found an opponent fully walled. He played completely defensive, who in the end was able to boom and win in Imperial age. I chose Mayans in both games.

How should I play that? I feel I still miss so many fundamentals. How would you convert your 2 range archer rush strategy?

Any hint appreciated. Cheers!



Suddenly unplayable Suddenly unplayable

Hey guys, I have a big problem with that game. I’ve been playing for a few years but had a big pause. Now I installed the game again and it’s unplayable. As soon as I hit 10 population my game starts lagging af and after a few moments it crashes. I’ve already tried nearly everything, lower the graphics, try to launch it with another windows version (main version is W10, the others I tried are 7 and 8). Of course I’ve deinstalled, and reinstalled it for like a thousand times. Does anybody has an idea how to fix it? In the past it ran perfectly on my laptop






New feature?: One player controlling multiple civs at once. New feature?: One player controlling multiple civs at once.

This feature is something you can find in another RTS game called Rise of Nations. It allows one player to control team A and then click any part of Team B and take over as if they controlled only that team. This feature allows for someone to dictate multiple civs and leads to a whole new way to play the game alone. It provides the player full control over battles, territory, trading, and can make an immersive world with its own lore and wars. I currently do this in aoe2, but alone as the only team, dividing my own soldiers into factions and “fighting”( deleting them to simulate a battle). Is anyone interested in this feature or aspect? How could we get this to the developers?


constant crashing after 15 minutes of the game constant crashing after 15 minutes of the game

Does anyone know how to fix this? I have tried everything I could think of, like verifying the files, clearing the download cache, and even deleting and reinstalling it. should I delete some games I have? I have had this problem for about 2 years, and I can't take it anymore since the game keeps kicking me out of ranked games.

Clearing the download cache and verifying the files, however, the game will crash if you update something.

(Have 2 mods active (50% minimap increase and better age-up reminder), checked and neither of them affects the game)

computer specs:

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor

16 GB (ram)

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Super

this game is on an SSD

devs please see this because this has been persisting me for about 2 years now like I said earlier in the post
