I don't think so, unless he was fishing in the other corner of the map and had 40 or 50 ships. I had something like 20 out there.

#52

then he had a thousand farms, or a rampant deer population on his island.

#53

I would also like to get destroyed by Quin and Sloonei one day.

Both at once, or should we take turns?

A truly insane farming system. Once he quickly ran out of resources on the island, he had nearly all of his villagers farming.

#56

I was unsatisfied with the unfinished business of our game, so I stayed up til 3 AM kicking some AI butt last night.

Nice!

When would be a good time for folks to play the next game?

#58

I'm working too many nights this week, but Friday and Saturday should be open for me.

I wanted to do this, but I had no wood.

#61

Up until Wednesday I'm not expecting any work, but I'll take it day by day after that to let you know if I'm available.

Yeah, he ran out quickly; most of my tribute to him was wood.

I have a troublesome schedule this upcoming week, because BWT is coming to visit starting Thursday for the long weekend, so I will be pretty much unavailable Thursday-Monday. And I'm going to have a busy three days at work before that.

That said, I'm probably available to play late tonight if anyone wants to do an impromptu thing, otherwise I'm sure I can find an evening Monday-Wednesday if folks would prefer that. Unfortunately, we'll probably have to wait until the week of the 4th to get together all of us as a large group.

Don't let my absence later this week into this weekend let any of you from arranging something though.

I don't think I'll play tonight (today), sorry. Thinking I'll do other stuff today. Next time

I made a separate channel in our Discord chat for our AoE (and games in general) talk as well. I figured that it'd be better to talk there rather than filling the main chat with stuff that a lot of people wouldn't understand.

#65

I have a fantasy football draft tonight, so I'm out.

That's totally fine! We have played a lot recently, and admittedly I've goofed off too much over these past few hurricane days, but dammit it was worth it.

That sounds like a good plan to me. Thanks, Quin.

You all just let me know if you want to play any of the next three nights (Monday-Wednesday) and I'll see what I can do. Otherwise unfortunately I'll have to be out until the week of the 4th; hopefully we can find an evening that'll work for everyone.

#67

Does anyone have an idea of how I can get my wife out of the house for the night to join in?

My last week at work, so realistically... I just don't have time

and I'd get my butt handed to me anyway, I love AoE but was never very good at it.

#68

Do it! None of us are that good at it, or at least I'm not, and Daisy just played for the very first time the other day. It'd be a blast to have you if you can find the time.

I texted her my number. You should be good to go.

#70

Oh brother, lol

#71

Been extremely tempted to buy this. . . Having people to play with might just push me over the edge and cause me to purchase it.
AoE3 was such a let down in comparison. Cards were so gamebreaking.

That'd be awesome, would be great to have you in the group!

Agreed on AOE3, 2 is easily the best.

#73

I liked AoE3, but I saw its shortcomings.

#74

I might have some time for this on Friday morning (for me) if anybody is up for a game. We can work out a specific time if there's any interest.

nevermind haha lol

#76

Ohhhh. I love AoEII. I might join in at some point with ya'll.

#77

Sweet!

#78

I have some time over the weekend for this if anybody is keen. I've got some stuff to do but I wouldn't mind breaking it up between a game or two.

#79

I may be down for a game tonight or tomorrow if anyone else is.

#80

If it's late enough maybe.

#81

I'm trying to get the game. I lost my CD somewhere between my parents house and the big move.

I can get it on Steam right?

#82

Sure can. HD edition.

What time would work for yous guys? [mention]JaggedJimmyJay[/mention] [mention]Quin[/mention] @anyone else who's reading this

Today I'm going out Father's Day shopping *at some point* so that's too obscure to plan around I think. Tomorrow would be better since I'm not doing anything until we go out for dinner. So this makes sense, I'd say tomorrow night for you guys would work for me.

#86

Tomorrow may be the better night for me as well anyway.

#87

Very good chance I can finally play tonight, if y'all do it. I'll be cooped up in my lab anyway and likely in need of a break. That's still assuming a late start though.

Can do. Preferably only the one game in that case because I'm going out for a Father's Day thing later.

#91

10-11

#92

I can probably make that.

#93

Actually it looks like I can play earlier (now), so if anyone wants to then hello.

#94

I can play in an hour.

#95

I can play whenever. Just come into discord and let me know.

#96

Are you guys playing now?

#97

We're in the discord when you're ready, Epi.

Give me another five. Putting the kids to bed.

#100

I'm not finding the discord chat.
