Another annoying thing Mongol players do.

Okay so for the neck beards, YES i know it is, a tactic that does not exploit anything or take advantage of a bug, but losing Mongol players have adopted a new tactic, when they are close to defeat, they pack their TC's up and send them here there and everywhere... on a gigantic map.... We was just in a 2 v 2 v 2 v 2 game, good fun, technically me and my team mate won... until the last player, a Mongol player, who hid like a child with his mobile settlements and when we destroyed one, another three appears and he sends them to hide.

This is an absurdity because most people have lives, it's a video game, it's not reasonable to spend 14 hours chasing a tent on wheels around a gigantic map.

Hiding the landmarks in stealth forests and forcing the game to go on for 1 hour plus and make them build wonder and capture sacred sites while you hide and watch timer go down with no villagers or TC.

This is the Mongol way.

WOLOLOLOLOOO!

I think there should be a timer, it doesn't have to be short, I like long games, but when you are in 2 v 2 v 2 v 2 and the war is clearly over, no resources left, or little anyway, and it is two entire age IV armies, and you got three tents on wheels hidden, there is no point in it.

Now, if it was an Esports type competitive match, sure I get it, but with this situation we experienced, I can only conclude that the guy was trying to get us to quit in frustration, which is exactly what happened.

So, sure he got the win with just a hidden tent on wheels, but if that is what the Mongol faction is reduced to, fine, but there is no strategy in it, and if on a non-competitive custom team game with randoms, if you need the win that desperately that you will spend three hours (that's how long it must have went on) just rushing around with a tent on wheels, then just let me know before hand and i'll surrender then open a new game, you'll save us both time.

Age of Empires 2 had the spies tech in the castle for a reason

[justastupidman]

For cases like that, Relic should add an Imperial Age technology like Spies in AoE 2 and 3 which in those games reveals all enemy units and buildings instantaneously. Its cost is dependent on how many enemy units there are, so it's usually ridiculously expensive until the enemy is nearly finished anyway.

Since in AoE 4 you don't need to chase down every single unit, it would suffice if it revealed just the locations of all remaining enemy landmarks. But I do think something like that should definitely be in the game.

[MisterSmellies]

yeah I agree

[Elriadon]

Yeah, they should add the Spies technology to the game.

This is also a real problem. I don't consider it a tactic unless it's just to re-position and gain strength. People use it to troll for 20 mins while you're just trying to end the damn game... I block everyone that does it.

[TheWhiteFlame]

lol, this is such a noob topic and doesnt at all affect competitive play, which aside from campaogn should be ne ONE AND ONLY metric. see sc2, aoe2.
apart from whining, what u want? if u KNOW you won, just quit, who gives? ppl have done this in noob league and bm league for over 20 years in starcraft, but who cares?

[MisterSmellies]

I've done it twice and it made me AND my opponent feel bad. Left me with low self worth and regret. Please fix Microsoft, save me from myself.

I've only made this topic once, I'm not "***" at RTS games or any other type (except sports games, I hate sports games), I am just pointing out the absurdity of chasing a tent on wheels around an entire gigantic (8 player) map, made all the more ridiculous by the fact that this tent on wheels is as fast as a rocket, if it wasn't so annoying it'd be funny.

However, the devs are patching these things out as we speak, so what will you do then? Because I don't play as Mongol, but you only play as Mongol, so what will do you once the patch arrives?
