Men, listen to me.
I always have been playing at 1.0 speed. Everything that units are doing is like in real life only at 1.0 speed. But that's only why I liked it when start playing this game many years ago. Nowadays more and more people play 1.5 speed at rm and 2.0 at dm. I really hate this!
I've read the article by Celestial Dawnhttp://aoe.heavengames.com/academy/strategy/articles/the_pros_and_cons_of_1.0_speed.shtml and I agree with him compleetly!!! A HUGE RESPECT TO Celestial DawnN FROM BLESSED_SALMON!
I am not an expert, I think that I am even not a very good player, but I find playing at 1.0 speed more interesting, because at 1.0 it becomes a FAIR game.
At the Gamespy people play at 1.0 speed. Not very often, but still play. And on the igzones nearly everyone is mad about more fast game (esp in ror cuz that slow 1.0).
I want to use every second in my game making as many clicks as I can. That important micromanagement and of course the batllefield where I have to dodge missle weapons, attack with mixed armies...
For example, I always get frustrated when have too much losses of my cavalries from compies just because we were playing 1.5 speed and I couldn't manipulate them right, and my enemy was just sitting and watching while his men were shooting very fast.
OR
for expample in DM, it is hard to control small groups of HHA shootong at cats and dodging after that at 2.0 speed. But at 1.0 it is much easier.
I call 1.5 and 2.0 "NOOB speeds".
That men that like playing at these speeds lose too many interesting and important things from the game.
U see, I was writing all that text cuz I LOVE aoe and ror, but I believe that the best game with all tricks and interesting moments is possible only at 1.0 speed.
Plz, don't shout at me =) it is just my opinion and I want to hear the same voices like mine if there are any.
