Past Strategies, Strategies Foolish and Funny

[Jake P.]

Hey guys. I think it would be fun to look through the old content on this forum and post some of the strategies and modes of thought that we wouldn't even consider to be a good idea today. This will help archive our train of thought throughout playing AoE III and provide some good natured humor. I'd like to start off with a quote from the Janisary Master himself, D.

40 fully researched janissaries will kill 10 fully researched rockets. Yep, but again there isn't much left.

Who needs cannons when you have janissaries? Sure wish their economy wasn't such a drag!

Ahh, the good ol' days when the Ottoman eco sucked and you just didn't need cannons. Haha. This idea is completely opposite from our current thought process. Their economy rocks and cannons are a battlefield terror.

I was going to ask you to cite your sources but, if you click on the date and time it will take you to the post.

Please describe why you chose a quote.

Hey Jake,

When was the last time you used your factories to build rockets?

... And strelets are amazing. 100 strelets on any one at 13 minutes will end the game!

100 strelets at 13 minutes have my pumas shaking in their boots!

Haha. Thats exactly the point of this board D. To trace our thought patterns, see how the game has evolved, and to see how we've adapted.

I don't build rockets any more...

Its too late right now so I will have to dig some up. I know there are plenty of good ones.

Remember the Ruyter Janny combo D and Tim used to use. I remember Tim saying, "This is the best Combo in the game. Looks like D and I have this game decided pretty quick."

This is in the funny category. The Daily Show last night was the best one I have ever watched. If you can catch a rerun, you MUST watch it. Absolutely hysterical!

It's on the front page today, but will probably still be on the site for a long time since they have entire episodes for free!

Are you guys talking about the John McCain/George Bush speech comparisons. That must have been the funniest moment on TV history

By the way, John Stewart just won Obama the campaign.
