ahahahahahahaha!!!!
I remember when I have been playing for 3 months! I was kicking butt in non-rated rooms and thought I was an expert since I was beeting the *****out of most players! My dear little Ghost2000, can I suggest you something? If you really want to see if you're an expert, play a few games with some "Wannabe_experts" or experts, if you win at least 50% of those games, you're either a Wannabe_expert or an expert... You do not know any guys like that? Oh! Ok, let me help you! Add these buddies to your list and have fun!

I played with most of these guys and I know they're good... Else, you can also go to rated rooms and find a high rated player to find out if you're really good(1750+ at RoR and 1850+ at AoE)...
Bye bye!!

I am sorry if I forgot any good player on the list I gave. It's just I have not played all of you and I do not know who's bad or good.
I think everybody agrees that after 3 months nobody can be an expert...

Yes, nothing like the adrenalin surge of victory to give you a ridiculously inflated sense of your own prowess! Luckily, my winning streaks usually max out at about ONE game, so I'm always put in my place! (And now I figure to get considerably rustier, since I've been spending most of my gaming hours on HOMM III!)

Well, do not worry, I have been put up in my place a lot since a couple of weeks. I am rustier than I used to be since I play less AoE/RoR and I have not explored all the new possibilities of RoR. Would you believe it if I tell you I never produced a single slinger in my life?! Yep, that's the truth. So, do not worry, I am an average player at RoR because, deeply, I'm still AoE formatted
BTW, how much do they cost those poor slingers?! I guess I will have to check it out! Phil

For about a hour, I think I felt like you, because for the last week, I had won 5 2v1's where my partner would drop in early tool or stone, but I had been playing in Viminal. One of my friends got me to go to a rated room, which I had never been in, and allied with my friend and a person in his clan. I had played with these 2 multiple times, and every single time whether in Quirinal, Esquiline, Viminal, we would win by a landslide with few problems. Sure I would be rushed, if I had one camel defending, they would come and save me with 6. Well, anyways, we started a rated game. That opened my eyes tremendously. I got my whole economy bashed in at about 13 mins by 3 chariots which expanded to 20 within a few minutes. I still had a few vils, so I moved them to my allies tcs. To end this quickly, we got beat down to a bloody pulp and now my rating is below someone who hasnt played a game yet. Moral: try rated games.
