Age of Empires Online
I am about to start the Golden Punchbowl, familiarize myself with it and see if I can beat it. If I figure it out I will let you know how to do it solo, or help you in co-op now that I know how to cut off the virus protection programs firewall. Mictlantecuhtli (talk) 19:57, July 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * That's freaking tough. The big thing is to secure and mine the three gold veins north of your starting position, so start off with 3 on food, 2 on wood then train 2-4 for stone (and then everything on food). You need at least 4-5 towers and around 8 spearmen (divided into two groups of 4). Place the small spear groups where they will be targeted before the villagers. Around the 8-9 minute mark switch all villagers (should have around 25+) to gold. You'll need one of the economy priests on the storehouse and town center, I don't think it is possible to gather 5k and take out the enemy (even if you had epics and rare gear) and I didn't bother grabbing the treasures since you can just farm treasures somewhere else (grab treasures, restart to farm chests). The whole Nubian expedition looks to be nothing but time trials with very limited resources at your disposal. It might be easier if we co-op the whole damn thing, because it took me three tries to get the golden punchbowl completed and I was only able to focus on the gold mining, I couldn't do anything else because of the enemy starting off with such a better eco and there being two of them on the map. If we each get a town center, etc you could focus on the gold I could focus on attacking the enemy. Mictlantecuhtli (talk) 20:48, July 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sounds good. One quick point though: if we're going to do this, I'd prefer it if we gamed a bit earlier in the day. When I write this, it's 5 PM in North Carolina... and 11 PM in Norway, where I am. Bit late to start a game of Age Online. I don't know when you get off work/school/whatever it is you do, or if you're on vacation (I am), but if that's a problem, we could perhaps play weekends? I can play at night, if that's what's needed, but I'd rather not sleep away the summer days (we're not spoiled for sunshine up here).Narve (talk) 20:56, July 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm a high functioning schizophrenic, I don't work but draw disability and sell crops at the farmer's market. Just let me know what time est I need to be around and I will alter my sleep cycle. The challenge to destroy a fortress in diminishing bits of time (15, 13, etc minutes) is pretty easy since it starts you with 100k of each resource but stone in case you beat the punchbowl without me. That same map can complete the ivory tusk quest and get you 7/10 crocs for the hunter quest so leave it running after the fortress drops to work on those quests. I am not going to complete the next step (13 minutes), because I intend to use it to farm elephants for ivory since that is repeatable and the challenge isn't. Anyway, my Egyptians bugged out and I can't go to Mycenae for crafting material recipes I have to buy them as Greeks and mail them to myself and pick them up when online as Egypt to build stuff. Can you check and see if it's the same for your Egyptian civ before I report it as a bug? Maybe it is a feature of Egypt and not a bug if you can't visit Mycenae either. Also Egypt isn't good for pvp from what I have been reading, because elephants take up so much pop and can be converted easily by the enemy forcing you to use their underwhelming infantry and cavalry. Mictlantecuhtli (talk) 22:35, July 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * From what I can tell, Mycenae is the Greek-only city, with the Nubian expansion being the place for Egyptians to buy recipes. Try it.
 * I've considering switching to Greek or Celt, a bit bored by the Egyptians, but the problem there is that I'll be back at lower levels. But the PVP isn't really much of an issue at this point, since we're playing WITH each other, rather than against. But yes, apart from their elephants, their units are pretty bad.
 * I don't know when you work for the crop selling thing. Are you terribly busy between, say, noon and three o'clock (PM)? That'll be six o'clock to 9 PM here. What do you think?Narve (talk) 06:10, July 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Nope not busy at all if you're still around. It'll be another day or so before the plants will be ready again. I am up to a lvl 8 or 9 Greek city, they actually seem easier to use than the Egyptians due to better infantry and cavalry. Don't need elephants to bust through turtle shells, can just use Hoplites and they have really strong buildings. Their fortresses also have a higher fire rate than Egyptian forts. Also, here is the link to my full Nubian Expanse repeatable quest observations. Mictlantecuhtli (talk) 15:49, July 30, 2012 (UTC)

Camels
If you know why the Mongols have access to camels, then explain why in the trivia of the Camel's article.


 * The reason the Mongols have camels, is the same reason that the Chinese do: there are Bactrian camels living in the Gobi desert. But there's no reason to put that in the article, because it's not very relevant. And sign your comments.Narve (talk) 13:33, August 4, 2012 (UTC)

General Info
Just adding in stuff, improving the wiki. Sorry to disagree with you about the Bombard Cannons but A) Hand Cannoneers and Bombard Cannons each appear in the same civs as each other and B) They WERE in Kyoto, a level where you control Japanese. Any, feel free to add in which civs things are unavaliable to for other buildings and units if you'd kindly. 122.109.39.217 07:58, August 15, 2012 (UTC)

"improving the wiki" False information doesn't improve the wiki, it devalues it.

"Hand Cannoneers and Bombard Cannons each appear in the same civs as each other", No, they don't. Not all the time. They're seperate units, and sometimes they don't appear in the same civ.

"They WERE in Kyoto, a level where you control Japanese" Yes, but that still doesn't meant that the Japanese can train them - and they didn't train them, they FOUND them. The Mongols have access to Bombard Cannons in "Into China", but they can't train them. The Aztecs find both Bombard Cannons and Tarkans in "The Boiling Lake", but can't train either of them.

This is easy to check, either through the in-game Tech Tree, or by trial and error - and if you play as Japanese, build an Archery Range and a Siege Workshop, and research Chemistry, you'll see that they can train Hand Cannoneers, but not Bombard Cannons.Narve (talk) 09:04, August 15, 2012 (UTC)

I should add: Your idea of adding civs for other units, buildings and techs is good. I'll do that.Narve (talk) 09:26, August 15, 2012 (UTC)

Well, they were Gaia units in that Genghis Khan Scenario belonging to Chinese and in that Montezuma Scenario, they were owned by Spanish originally. Also, they appear with the Chinese in the Noryang Point Scenario.

OK, Sorry if I'm being to witty. I'm aware of the tech tree. I don't ever want this wiki to try and prevent me from being here. Anyway, since I am aware of the tech tree, I know that Hand Cannoneers are available to either 9/18 Civs or 10/18 Civs.

Uploading Maps
How do you do that for the Battle of the Conquerors Scenarios? Yet you forgot to do it for the Vinlandsaga Scenario. 122.109.44.221 09:39, August 22, 2012 (UTC)

Just open the map, use the "Marco" and "Polo" cheat codes, and take a screenshot. Then you open the screenshot in paint or another program, and remove everything but the mini-map. I prefer doing this at the start of the game (as in, first few seconds), since there's no telling how the map looks at the end - most enemy buildings in ruins, etc. If you're going to do this, make sure your mouse isn't over the mini-map, and try to aim your screen somewhere out of the way - in the Noryang point screenshot, for example, I'm looking at the middle of the water, so that the square that shows where I'm looking, isn't blocking anything interesting.Narve (talk) 11:06, August 22, 2012 (UTC)

You're Welcome to Upload maps for scenarios if you wish to. Intend to Construct tables for certain articles. 122.109.51.84 12:46, August 26, 2012 (UTC)

Villager amount in AoM
Greetings.

Excuse me to put this up but I'm at the very moment playing Age of Mythology and adding information right on live, and I know it is quite unbelievable that you can only field 25 Villagers, but trust me, it's true (discovered it today myself). The Villager training icon at Town Center turns red and, thus anavailable, after you trained 25 of them, despite having a lot of houses to support a lot more population.

If you doubt my word, try it out yourself or ask a friend. Excuse me one more time.Erokuso (talk) 08:25, October 26, 2012 (UTC)Erokuso

That's only true about Citizens. For Gatherers, Laborers and Villagers, the limit is 80. Try it yourself.Narve (talk) 09:13, October 26, 2012 (UTC)

You're right. It really is 80. Reason why I had it 25 was becouse I was playing in Lightning mode. Took me awhile before I switched to Conquest mode. xD. Sorry for bother. Erokuso (talk) 10:15, October 26, 2012 (UTC)

I wasn't aware that the limit was different in Lightning. That's fascinating. That should be noted in the relevant pages.

It's 80 in standard, conquest, and the campaigns.Narve (talk) 10:19, October 26, 2012 (UTC)

LOS
First option to find it: MNBob's Unit and Card List

Second: go to scenario editor, choose object, go to object info, select the building or unit, and in the above-right corner the line of sight stands.

Didn't know how to find it myself until a few months ago. BoazMoerman (talk) 12:13, March 10, 2013 (UTC)

History section
Where do you get the History section information from? As far as i remember there is no history description ingame when you hover over the upgrade icons. 37.143.223.21 12:49, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

The history is copied and pasted from the manual, included as a PDF on the game CD. Narve (talk) 13:16, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, i just wanted to know. Informative stuff. 37.143.223.21 15:17, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

 * Looks good, keep it like that.Narve (talk) 19:55, November 13, 2013 (UTC)

AOF History
I have request to make. Can you please add the history section to the AOF units, if there any. ThanksRSV 123 (talk) 07:20, November 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * Good idea, but there isn't any. The history either comes from in-game (in AoM and AoEIII) or the manual (in AoE and AoEII). AoF has neither.Narve (talk) 07:38, November 17, 2013 (UTC)

Reversion
Hi, just a point, if you in some way disagree with someone's edition, perhaps you could just edit it like X~Calibur does with Papermaniac edits, and not use the "revert" function as if it was a vandalism. Thanks --†_JuαиPα™_† a message? 18:27, January 21, 2014 (UTC)


 * I generally try to do that, but may have made mistakes. I'll be more mindful of it. Thanks.Narve (talk) 19:03, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

Bahadur Shah healer?
If you to to the healer's section of the history option there is Bahadur Shah in the list if I remember correctly do you know why is that, he can't even heal.RSV 123 (talk) 15:36, February 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * In my game, he isn't listed there. I think you're rembering incorrectly. If not, can you screenshot it?Narve (talk) 16:24, February 23, 2014 (UTC)

Possible Promotion
For your consistent edits and anti vandalism edits, I believe your are a good candidate for a sysop. We would use this site for such events but since the community is small, you can just contact me if you feel you are ready to attain this position.

Campaigns
Don't you think that their must be walkthrough videos for the campaign in their respective pages? And I don't think Knights of Saint John should be in the civ navbox.RSV 123 (talk) 08:04, March 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * No, I don't quite see the point of walkthrough videos. But if you want to make some, go ahead. I've removed the Knights from the civ box.Narve (talk) 08:48, March 24, 2014 (UTC)

Tech Tree mistakes
Hi Narve. Just passing by to ask your thoughts regarding all the tech tree (and math) mistakes I listed in Papermaniac's discussione page. What should we do with all those pages that ATM are giving wrong informations? Edit: And what about minor changes from AOK to TC like hoardings, fervor or attack bonus changes? should we list both before and after The Conquerors or leave only info regarding TC? --Caledor92 (talk) 16:33, August 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Just go ahead and reinsert the data. The wiki should contain correct information, and clearing up how Conscription, for example, actually functions, makes the wiki better. Also note that the tech trees are wrong, so people don't wonder about why the numbers don't match.


 * I'm not sure the differences from AoK to Conquerors are important, but it can't hurt to include them. Do what you want, you've shown good judgement so far.Narve (talk) 17:14, August 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Regarding to AOK to Conquerors changes... In hindsight I think it's better to just keep TC info. We already have The Forgotten changes to list and adding AOK is gonna make everything a mess. See how Hand Cannoneers and Janissaries changed from AOK to TC for example (my discussion post here). If we are to list every single minutia like that on top of TF changes... we're really not going to see an end to it. I'll list TC changes in the page, and keep the attack bonuses popup texts only with TC info. Deleting everything regarding TC changes now is way worse than actually adding those info to the pages that miss them.


 * I also noticed a strange difference between units and buildings in the upgrades section those pages share. While in unit pages there are the actual upgrades for that unit (Ring Archer Armor, Parthian Tactics etc), in the building pages you find the techs you can research at that building (Thumb Ring for the Archery Range for example). Shouldn't instead be listed the techs that improve that building like Town Watch and Masonry? That's what "upgrades" means after all... --Caledor92 (talk) 23:08, August 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * The Upgrades info on the building pages shows what upgrades can be researched at that building, and definitely deserves to be there. But yeah, having the same name can be confusing. If you can think of anything better to call one of them (either renaming the info on the unit pages, or on the building pages), feel free.Narve (talk) 05:51, August 2, 2014 (UTC)

AoE II Technology Pages

About vandalism
Dear Narve,

There was some vandalisms in our wiki pages. Mostly they are a "wikia contributor" users.

Hi Narve,

Wasn't sure whether I should reply here or on my page, so I've done both. I'm sorry and I hope I didn't upset you. I can be a bit grouchy sometimes, normally when I've had a couple of ales. No offence meant. Anyway, the Hitstory/Mythology files are here:

Most of the ones needed are in the 'techs' and 'units' folders within the 'history2' folder.

Hi Narve,

Atlantean heroes are not represented in the wiki, so I want to put them in. I wasn't sure whether they should be added to the existing entries, like this:

Arcus               [Infobox]

The Arcus is a standard Atlantean archer unit...

Arcus Hero      [Infobox]

(blah)

or with each hero having a separate entry. What do you reckon?

Advice
Hey there, I was looking at the strategic section on the Teutons and I wondered if you could give me a small advice;

Would you think it is reasonable to upgrade the basic infantry to the Champion stage when playing as the Teutons? I've seen some people suggest that some inf-civilisations like the Vikings or the Aztecs shouldn't, but what about the teutons?

I'm not sure you're the right person for this kind of tips but we've talked before and have nobody else I could ask. Feel free to link me a guide or somebody who gives strategic suggestions if you want. Thanks in advance.

Stubs and Need Images
Sorry about the categories,

Can you specify what types of pages do not need images? Also, isn't stubs is just a Wikimedia term for pages less than full page length? Can you add a template for pages that are not stubs in this wiki but are by Wikimedia standards, or a least create a Stub Policy page for this wiki.

Thanks,

Links to real history on wikipedia
Hi Narve. I was thinking that it could be a good idea to include links in the articles to wikipedia in order to avoid editions in the history sections on the articles that doesn't correspond with the history described on the game. Also the readers and the editors can learn something about the real history of the empires depicted in the game if they are interested. Papermaniac (talk) 07:34, October 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. You mean something like what we already do on the Battles of the Forgotten and Battles of the Conquerors pages, where each battle links to the wikipedia page in the introduction? I think there's a few pages where we do that already, but we could make it a standard. I was thinking of also adding a source to each history section, where we put "Age of Empires II manual" or "In-game description" or something similar.Narve (talk) 10:07, October 21, 2015 (UTC)

New infobox format
Hi Narve,

I've been doing some experimentations with the Techbox template to improve its looks and data organization while keeping it simple to use. Could you take a look at some of the Unique Tech pages and tell me if it'll do? Since I was thinking maybe I could do the same to the Unit and Building infoboxes as well.

On that note, I have taken the liberty to create and experiment with a new infobox design for units, as you can check out here. So far it has only been used for testing purposes and may need additional changes in the future if it were to be used widely.

I've tweaked every possible fields of the template so that they won't show up if there's nothing filled into them, so as to avoid using "N/A" in places where it's not needed.

As always, I'd love to hear your feedback and thank you for your time.

Hey Narve, thanks for editing 'The Battle of Guadelete' page and correcting my mistakes :-) Will make sure not to repeat my mistakes.

Read you loud and clear on the 'nitpicks' bit. A lot of scenarios still don't have walkthroughs, so I'm using these additions as rough drafts that real members can edit and fix up later. I'll see what I can do on future guides though, thanks for the constructive criticism.

Userboxes
I put userbox templates on this wiki. If that's not okay, you can delete them here. B®¥@N (talk) 09:25, December 11, 2015 (UTC)

hi, may I ask why you think the enemy doesn't attack on sight during the last campaign of the egyptians, age of empires 1?

hi, TheMinorEditor94 (talk) 19:25, December 20, 2015 (UTC)

Hello.

Just one question: Do you happen to know at what point a unit is considered "slow", "medium" and "fast"?

Because I see units with 0.96 speed declared slow and units with 0.8 and medium speed, so I'm a little confused.

I'm talking of AoE II and hope you know the answer.

Greets!
 * Hi. Sorry, I don't know anything about that.Narve (talk) 22:57, December 30, 2015 (UTC)

I read in the article of the Migdol that it was cheaper than the Hilll Fort and I read in the article of the Hill Fort that is was cheaper than the Migdol. I think these two contradict each other. It seems the Hill Fort costs more wood and less gold, though I don't know which resource is the most valuable. Lord VIpertooth
 * You're right, that's a contradiction. I clarified on the Hill Fort page - overall, it's more expensive.Narve (talk) 12:47, January 6, 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I would like to spend some words about speed in AE II, and what is called very slow, slow, medium, fast and very fast.

According to what is on the wiki, the magyar hussar is very fast with speed 1.55. However the scout cavalry is called fast with speed 1.2/1.55 instead of fast/very fast. A similar thing is done at the condottiero page with '/.

Many units(several unique archers/ skirmischer line/handcannoneer) with speed 0.96 are called slow, but for the archer line it is called medium speed.

The very slow title is given to the Teutonic Knight and War Elephant. Siege workshop units have often similar speed as these ones, however they are called slow instead of very slow.


 * As far as I know, that was just one user's personal opinion of their speed, and the rest of us haven't really cared enough to do anything about it. Feel free to change it.Narve (talk) 08:25, January 24, 2016 (UTC)

New background image
Hi Narve. Since you're the only active admin, I wanted to see what you think about using a new background image. The current one that's been used for a year and a half is OK, but because it's small and tiled (repeating), it doesn't look that good. Plus it's a AoE 3 background, and as we all know, AoE 2 is widely considered the best game in the series. I'm a big fan of AoE 2, even though I'm not very good at it. :) I also watch a lot AoE 2 being played on Twitch.

Anyway, I've been wanting to use a better background image for a long time, and today I found a good AoE 2 wallpaper that I think would look good as a background for the wiki. You can see a preview of the new background here. If you agree, let me know, and I'll be happy to upload the new image.

Eagle Warrior

Hello!

Since you understandibly don't want pages to be moved with copy + paste, I ask this time. :)

Could you please move the 'Eagle Warrior (Age of Empires II)' page to 'Eagle Warrior'?

Since there is no Eagle Warrior in other games, the title does not need the game to be included.

The 'for' hint on top of the page should clear any confusion.

 * I've moved the page now.Narve (talk) 17:44, March 8, 2016 (UTC)

Thank you! :) Another quick question: I accidentally disabled the sidebar in the source editor somehow (where I can add media, categories, templates, and so on). How can I enable it again?

Help for Redirects
So I tried to create a redirect and found out that the Help:Editing page is actually misleading on this topic. It says to put the site name in brackets, but it's actually double square brackets.

(Is there a better way to address those issues than directly contacting an admin?)

AoF and AoA page titles
Hello again!

I've noticed that AoK and AoC are written in italics (like they always are) on their respective pages (page title), whilst AoF and AoA are not. Since I don't know how to do that, could you please put them in italics, too?

MasterBroccoli (talk) 18:43, March 20, 2016 (UTC)


 * It's fixed now.Narve (talk) 09:43, March 21, 2016 (UTC)

Wrong title will change it.

Modify Building Infobox for XP
How can I modify the Building Infobox to add the create and kill XP for AoE 3 buildings (i.e. : Mill provides 80 XP when built and 160 XP when destroyed). I added it and it doesn't appear. DA WarM (talk) 17:17, April 1, 2016 (UTC)


 * I was about to answer, but I see you figured it out on your own.Narve (talk) 06:38, April 2, 2016 (UTC)

Question concerning taken (inactive) username
Hello Nerve, I'm a long time AoE2 player and really like this wiki. However, I found quite many mistakes/inaccuracies so far. I would like to help you guys out, but my all-game-username is taken already (0 Edits so far, created years ago). Is there a chance to unblock any taken name? In case you can't help me, where could I address my request?

Edit: I don't want to create an account yet, hoping you could help... :-)


 * I don't think it's possible to take another person's username, but you can try looking around at wikia's community central. Maybe someone there can help you.Narve (talk) 16:29, April 12, 2016 (UTC)

Hi,

When I was watching the Conquors page, I saw that in the conquors the scorpion gained base range, but I can't find it on the scorpion page. Since you might be able to easily test (since I know you are the one who often comes up with those thing) wether the statement is right and find out what the range is in AoK, I would like to ask you to change te page if you have time to do so. Lord Vipertooth (talk) 08:59, April 30, 2016 (UTC)


 * The Scorpion had a range of 5 in Age of Kings, and a range of 7 in the Conquerors. But in Age of Kings, it was affected by Fletching, Bodkin Arrow, and Bracer, giving it +3 range and damage when fully upgraded (not including the bonuses for Chemistry and Siege Engineers).Narve (talk) 18:50, April 30, 2016 (UTC)

Hello
Hello,

I just discovered this Wikia. I'l just be gnoming int he background. I'l just fix minor stuff that people will not notice nor will be obvious. I mean for stuff like punctuation and spelling. Also, the occassional grammar. That sort of stuff i'll work on. Thanks and Peace! DwellCamp (talk) 00:19, May 9, 2016 (UTC)
