the most common civs i see, in AoE since i dont play RoR, for rms is- assyrian, yamato, minoan, and hittite. the rarely used civs are persia, choson, greek, and shang. seems to me by reading the posts on here shang is popular civ in ror, but they suck in AoE. now for dm, choson is still the most popular civ, followed by hittite, then greek, and ive seen some babylon and minoan players too. rarely seen civs are assyrian, yamato, phoenician, and shang, since they have not so stong irons as other civs, cept yammy, they have decent iron, just no siege or towers

Hey Darius, your obviously very closed minded. Half the zone plays DM, and in the AoE rooms, I would say theres more DM players than RM. DM takes just as much skill as RM. In fact it took me longer to get good at DM than RM. There's just as many strats out there for DMs as there are for RMs. I'm not going to go into them because I could be here for days or even weeks typing them up. As for rooks being good in DM? Hahaha, you make me laugh. That's like saying anyone who can get to bronze age is good at RM. You got to be one of the rooks that think they are good at DM, and I would beat you in 10 mins, 20 mins if you get lucky or run and hide. If your thinking, oh that's why DM is stupid, they are shorter, well first off you are definatly not good and, when you have experts playing, games can last just as long RM games, usually hours with evenly skilled players. Since your trash talking of DM saying it takes no skill, well, first off, you need to manage just as many villagers if not more. Also your army, so thats 200+ units the almost whole time. You also need speed to get the 200 in about 8 mins or less. How many RM games do you play that have 200+ units to manage for at least 30 mins straight? As for hotkeys, you need them as well in RM. If you don't know them, you waste seconds going back and forth clicking. As for RM being the game of masters? The best players I've seem play both DM and RM. Some favor one more than the other, but the skills of both can be combined for an awsome player. If I'm not mistaken, it is crucial what you do with your first 20 or whatever villagers you may use early in RMs, needs some pretty quick reaction and clicking, eh? Same goes for DMs, just gotta manage more faster. You are entitled to your opinion but, before you knock something, know what your talking about next time...

I disagree with what ^ said. DM is much easier than RM, it doesn't involve nearly as much skill.
