News: February 10, 1998 Age of Empires GameCenter’s New-look AOE Heaven Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down News from the Zone Strategy Tips Very good points! I think there are too many wannabe condo developers out there. It just doesn’t cut it when there are Heavy Kitties in the game. Think of it as giving your villagers prime acreage lots! – Vidguy

News: February 09, 1998 Age of Empires GameCenter’s Zone Stats Spades????? People will actually play Spades over Age of Empires???? Get real! In reality I guess that AOE is the number one “non-free” game on the Zone! Stats were gathered from the “In the Zone” newsletter. – Vidguy News from the Zone Strategy Tips NOTE: This strategy is very difficult with a river with no shallows blocking you from your enemy. You will probably have to sacrifice your scout. – Pter Banwarth So….we have the Archer rush, the Cav rush, and now the Scout rush. Someone once used a similar tactic to this on me. I was walled in defending with my heavy cats. All they had to do was get close enough to “see” areas within my town … then place “walls” around things such as houses. This laid the foundation only, but I didn’t have my big kitties on “stand ground”…they immediately attacked the “foundation”..and the splatter ended up destroying a bunch of my houses. Annoying little “feature” but it teaches you to use “stand ground” in defensive situations. – Vidguy

News: February 08, 1998 Age of Empires GameCenter’s Lord Soth From ES Speaks! This is interesting news that Lord Soth has posted in the forums here at Heaven. I don’t think we thought there might be a 3D AOE2, but I can’t wait to see what enhancements will be in this version of the game. Feel free to post YOUR wishlist in our forums, because as you see, ES staff DO read our site! – Vidguy News from the Zone Strategy Tips My favorite type of attack group consists of about 20 (the more the better) fully upgraded war elephants (only defensive upgrades work), about 10 fully upgraded heavy cavalry (cataphracts if you can afford it), and finally 2-3 priests… yes I know this adds up towards your pop cap, but using tricks you can get up ! ! to 60 units. Use the war elephants as your main attack group. Their high hit points make them VERY hard to kill, and when grouped in large #’s their trample damage counts for a lot. Use cavalry as a quick attack group against cats and archers. Don’t bother with priests unless there is some extraordinary large # of ’em, then use cavalry against ’em. Only use the cavalry in this way, don’t bother attacking other units, even if they are attacked. The purpose of the cavalry is to get rid of units that elephants can’t take care of. OK, I know people like to use priests against war elephants, but even if they convert a few of your elephants, it will take a long time for 1 elephant to kill another, and by the time you take out your objective, your larger # of elephants will easilty take out the few that were converted (plus you can always use the few priests you kept in the rear to re-convert whatever was taken from you). Finally your priests are mainly for healing your units a! ! fter the main melee. For converting purposes, use them against infantry or cavarly while they are standing behind a bunch of your elephants (it’s practically impossible for most infantry or cavalry to get around 20 elephants in time to get to a priest). This strategy works best in games that tend to go long, and it helps if you build a stable or 2 near the city you attack in order to keep replenishing your supply of units. – Kevin I hate the sound of those little grey haired guys with canes! Just ask Omnivac how much I hate ’em. BTW…him and I had a 3 hour and 52 minute marathon the other night!!!!! So what’s your online multiplayer record? Drop me a line and tell me a story….just make sure your nose isn’t growing when you do tell it! (vidguy@heavengames.com)- Vidguy

News: February 07, 1998 Age of Empires GameCenter’s Age Strategy Tips Often you can live and die by your group hotkeys. Don’t forget them! Remember, it’s ctrl+(1-9) to assign a group number to units. (1-9) to select that group. alt+(1-9) to center the map on that group and shift+(1-9) to add that group to an already assigned number. – Vidguy
