  • eo nâo gostei por que eu ga teio

  • whatever others say these techniques r surely helpful for noobs. for me also :)

  • If anything, this video made me worse.

    If you REALLY want to make an Advanced Techniques video, be sure to include a more diverse army VS another diverse army, and show us you can win easily.

    Take a Musk+Huss army and fight a Skirm+Pike army - being outnumbered - using micro and try to win.

    There's lot more to Micro than just that. I could rewrite Sun Tzu's 'Art of War' book involving AoE III elements.

  • EDIT * 48 K ;)

  • The problem with X command is that if you "X" toward the enemy, your skirmishers take a step forward after each shot, which you dont want because u want maximum distance between ur skrims and enemy muskets. If you "X" away from enemy, while in battle, half ur skirms leave battle while half fight. Any solutions?

  • Yall niggers posting in a troll video...

  • lol its a troll video i swear

  • how did you get the little dude holding the flag?

  • 3:52 it would be funny if you chopped down a tree and let it fall on the explorer

  • This vid is great.,, I had no clue.

  • the reason u shoot farther isnt due to the x button it is because u have skirmishers instead of musketeers or a more mid ranged attack unit skirmishers are meant to be able to due damage at long range

  • you just wasted 4min and 23 sec of my life

  • @PsychopathPT you just wasted 1 minute of mine

  • @PsychopathPT if u realised you didnt like the video, why would you continue to watch to the end and then complain about losing the time of you shitty life? are you fucking retarded or something?

  • guys how do u install aoe 3 on win 7 ?

  • @TheBlackVikingPro I guess you just install it... I have W7 and I didnt have to do anything special... at least this isnt Empire Earth, I loved that game but my new gaming comp has such good components it wont run such an old game like EE.... Ironic I know

  • lagger

    

  • does any one know howto become ally with computer on this game. i was able to on aoe 2, but cant figure it out.

  • @ovandocarter in skirmish before you start a game just make it with 4 players and put one on team 1 and go team 1 yourself

  • @naam123lol is there no way to change mid way in the game. because in aoe 2 there was.

  • i thought it was alt key and actually this does help against ranged units it makes your units disperse there shots so you dont have overkill '

    the units shoot at who ever is closest to them

  • thanks that was handy

  • umm... i dont have this "micro" key =(

    help?!

  • i have a problem, which units do you use because IGC but when i attack they dont move, what do you use?

  • lols, you used sample music from vista. also, great tips, teh advanced buttons are so useful because you can use infantry to take out artillery by switching to melee. Good job.

  • @Chibisenpai ha ha ha ha u make me laugh, "modern wankfare 2 is the new thing ha ha no way, Battlefield bad company 2 makes CoD look like shite, lol.....

  • Techniques.........are you kidding. Not in Age of Empires 3. Maybe in Age of Empires 2, but not this shit pile.

  • Micro is SO much more than attack move --> win... xD

  • what is it , i press z and tab and t , w, c at the same time

    ?some1 plz answer back

  • Nice, I already used microing before this vd but still, cool vid ^^. I don't use melee infantry much, that explorer owning tip was unexpected, I didn't know he could be pwned like that :P thanks a bunch.

  • how to rotate the screen?

  • control + arrow.

  • my real problem is u call it advance techniques, yet these are the most basic of basics and u are not microing. and ESO is steady and reaches 3k+ on weekdays in the morning (where i live). dont put up a vid call it advance techinques then say "oh i dont care about aoe3 anymore im onto codMW2" which i also play.

    i didnt say u have no life. what do u mean "aoe ranks are a thing of the past"?????? because UR not interested in it anymore??? but to claim to be advanced, that really bugs me.

  • bugs me too (i don't like reading paragraphs, just read the first and last sentence) don't over use ??? as well too if you do include it in everyday writing....

  • @ChibiSenpai And that is why you are a dumbass... "I don't read paragraphs, just first and last sentences."

    I think you should not be a dick and go play more COD MW2. Maybe now that Black Ops is out you think that is a thing of the past too.

  • @Zeppelinfancb I think its very smart. In a well constructed paragraph the beginning and end sentences have the main point the rest is just details.

  • @ChibiSenpai You didn't micro crap. You pressed the "attack move" button, which is worse than just telling your troops to attack. A true micro would only have killed 1 unit at a time...

  • i agree i think someone should step up and post actual videos also not of them playing freaking computers actually play online eso with commentary from someone good like leutenit

  • besides...its your guys views that matter to me, not your opinions....

  • and again since ur very very noob, cannons on their own are useless.

    "dodging ranged units" by running into them? that wont work when theres 20 dops verse 30 skirms, the skirms will slaughter, and lance corporal+ will hit and run... WHICH IRONICALLY U MORON IS MICROING

    these "tips" are stupid and useless, well meleeing the explorer is the only mildly decent point.

    BTW whats ur online rank.

  • Your comments make me laugh...because I'm illiterate, now let me cry because I have no life and apparently I am un-edu-ma-cated. (sarcasm)

  • Online AoE ranks are a thing of the past, the newest thing is MW2...btw if anyone can answer how is ESO...?

  • By the way: Hit and run isn't realy microing, its normal unit management. Doing hit and run while spreading fire (5 skirm on one musk, next 5 skirm on another musk..) is micro. Or when you are trying to spread your own units/surround the enemy at the same time you fire.

  • @Shimbaland huh? microing is unit management

  • Comment removed

  • WOW NOOB WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOw

    heres why.

    "microing" is not hitting x, or attack move, and standing there like a douche. its moving ur units so they dont die or verse units they beat... NOOOOOOBBBBBB

    ofcourse ur example of meleeing works, they wouldve won anyway. and since ur clearly very noob, DO NOT MELEE GENDARMESSSS instead put them onto spread mode, to reduce area damage.

    and every fukin moron knows that 1 skirm beats 1 great bombard BECAUSE CANNONS CANT SHOOT WHEN THEYRE IN MELEE

  • This video is beyond a joke. Pressing 'x' is attack move and is used for melee units to pick different targets so they don't all mob around the same thing and ave 'pathing issues'. Using it on range units DOES NOT WORK because of a slight lag, enabling the other units to take a first shot off.

    Attack move works on some ranged units though, like Abus guns, because you don't need micro in the first place to use them.

  • Jokes on you...I'm too illiterate to read your paragraph

  • haha GOTTEM!. nice vid

  • @ChibiSenpai Get past a 2lt first before teaching people how to play please

  • make me

  • @ChibiSenpai How about you beat PyramidForce 1v1 before attempting to give AOE3 advice?

  • What does pressing x do?

  • @alexfuhs It is the 'attack move' hotkey, which basiucally tells your units to move to the spot you click on, stopping to kill everything in the way. This works well with Melee Cavalry because of their fastspeed enabling htem to switch targets easily, and also to prevent pathing issues (rather than telling all ur cav to attack one unit, 'x' tells them to attack the unit most conveniently located near them)

    Ranged units do not work cos of an attack move lag, giving the opponent first shot

  • How did you get the tactics option for your men? Ive never seen that!

  • Cool vid!! I'm Spanish too but I keep playing my friend and he always beats me!! Idk how he beats me!! He's Dutch, what should I do?

  • what does he use???

  • well you have to know your basics... if its in age 3 if he makes skirmishers and ruyters which they normally do you should counter it with offensive or defensive units: either lancers and and rods or dragoons and skirmishers. it should work better

  • @alexfuhs 16 villie Semi-FF, make a stables + 5 hussars, send 3 villagers, 700 wood, 700 coin and go fortress for Rodelero+Lancers.

  • What does microing mean?

  • damn I want asian dynasties so bad that

    im prayin for it

  • go get the torrent from pirate bay

  • i downloaded it

    yayayayayyayayaya

  • i have AOE1 AOE rise of roame AOE2 AOE conquers and AOE3 i neeed the 2 expansions

  • i got all aoes

    of the aoe3 the asian dynasties is the best

  • and the last...

  • whats the last? is 3 asian dinastyes right

  • no its War Chiefs

  • the ensemble is closed. the new company the robot ent. have no plan continue the age series. thats why the age3 is the last.

  • @RobotBoyTheLegoBoy when you bought dynasties did you get a new online account?

  • @Shoelaceist sorry,dont remenber:(

  • nope

  • does this work on aoe3 without any xpacks?

  • Is Microing where you units attack one unit at a time? Therefore downing it very quickly?

  • its were the front line will shoot then the back whilst the front is reloding then the front will shoot as the back reloads and so on and so on

  • Ah, ty. And you just press that little button?

  • what is TAD and TWC

  • TAD = The Asian Dynasties

    TWC = The War Chiefs

    They're expansion packs for AoE3.

  • Say what rank were you online anyway? Never knew the crouch button did that and I was a lieutenant lol.

  • what is macrooing?

  • Macromanagement, stuff with your money

  • That was great thank you very much:)

  • Why would someone get upset if your explorer attacks their villager?

  • thats a good question but people do that to me online

  • as in I just forget about my explorer and they end up being pissed that their villagers are getting shot

  • i see u have age of empires 2 on ur computer

  • oh yeah

  • In gaming, micromanagement describes small, detailed gameplay elements that must be manually addressed by the player.

  • It appears in a wide range of games including strategy video games, construction and management simulations and pet-raising simulations. Micromanagement has been a controversial aspect of game design for many years: some gamers regard it as an unwelcomed distraction from higher levels of strategic thinking, and some games try to minimize it; some players and designers treat it as an important skill, and one that is necessary if the game is to support top-level competitions;

  • You guys should watch starcraft, the professional players on that game micro very well.

  • Although microing in Starcraft does have a different definition compared to what it said on this video

  • I haven't played starcraft much but i do hear its very well balanced.

  • lmfaoo the end is hilarious.

  • So what does microing actually do to your units? Sorry for the noob questions, new to strategy.

  • What exactly does "microing" do?

  • lol i knew about the cannon dodging thing used to use it alot. u can desroy an expensive heavy cannon with a settler lol.

  • Nice music choice

  • the music makes me want to kill myself.

  • the germans......and their classical music :P

  • sorry for misunderstanding that DC, but yeah u can use Micro online. (I wonder what i was thinking when i wrote that other comment)

  • Yeah. Sometimes classical music is hard to understand. I love it!

  • i configure my game. I put the check on the advanced formations option. But I cant "microing" What's wrong?

  • Can you using microing online?

  • no you have to use ventrilo :(

  • i'd like the idea voip

  • WHAT DOES TAD MEAN

  • The Asian Dynasties

  • lol i liked the music the best good work man help hem noobs

  • how do you melee with aoe3 just normal, not asians or warchief just normal/.????

  • should be the same as the others

  • unless u mean just show the advance actions on normal then i'm not too sure cause i believe if u turn one on for one of the games it goes on for the others....i'll have to check into this more

  • so THAT'S why i see cannons not hitting high against cavalry! neat!

  • whaoh i didn't know you could dodge cannons like that and i learned villies kill explorer faster with melee

  • I love this game.

  • Cool Stuff, but split/trim closer to the end of clips. it's annoying having to wait 30 seconds for the next clip.

  • no...just no

  • can all of the options you've activated in all three games Aoe 3, WarChiefs & TheAsianDynasties?

  • yeah

  • i only learned that viles melle th explorer is stronger

  • lol the tip where you face two armys, the red on have like 10 more ppl.

  • im pretty sure i wouldn't cheat you guys, i made them as even as possible. they both have the same number.

  • is that a different aoe, because i have the game aoe 3, but mine dosent look like that

  • its a scenario editor from AoE3, it looks different from AoE3 already made maps, because you can make your own map. hopefully this answers ur question...if not please post so

  • why in the description did u say to tell the player?

  • because in a battle u don't want to be rude, telling them will tell you whether its on purpose or not. But if you want to take it strategical then yeah kill the explorer so that way he can't explore.

  • All of these tips are great the only ones I knew were the explorer and the UI ones. I knew since my first game the explorer's weak point was melee.

  • TALK FOR GODS SAKE !!!!

  • i'm toooooooo self conscience *_* and the cough was from my parent, since he has loud coughs that can be heard anywhere from the house.

  • how the heck can u get tactics?

  • its in teh video but go to help and tools, options, and click Advance Formations, Game Time, show gathers per resources.

  • oh thank u every1 has been squaring me in the game

  • noobs.. lol

  • Do you have a rank online? and whats your user name?

  • yeah i'm Retro2, and rank is basically a 80-90% winnage Master Sgt or somewhere around there, while my vanilla is a sgt where i think i won half my games i need to make sure

  • Hats off man

  • now at 3:04 did u stagger them.

  • u mean if that stayed still? sometimes that happens for me...dunno why tho

  • Erm...the micro button is attack move...and you can't micro shooting units due to delay. Micro fast hand-infantry and cavalry

  • basically but it works with shooting units for me.

  • are the controls the same on mac? Im also interested on how to make a defenseive square around cannons anyone know?

  • i don't have this on the mac, but it should be the defend command to get the square around the cannons

  • NICE AND ORIGINAL MUSIC! 5/5

  • OMFG the song is too good XDXD

  • nice use of beethoven, that's not something you hear on help videos often lol!

  • =P =D

  • i dont see wat macroing helps with??

    cz i saw tht boton a long time ago..never u it

  • ** I don't see what Microing helps with?? Cause I saw that button a long time ago...never used ( i think thats the word..) it. **

    Well microing gives you the advantage, they all kill 1 skirm instead of killing different ones, which will end up killing you...Experts in AoE can see the genius of it since they do actually look at stats like how much damage a range unit can do and how much seige it does. So if your playing for fun it doesn't matter.

  • is retro2 your account name?

  • yeah, but i hardly go on now adays unless u ask me to then i'll play for the whole day

  • Also, with the cannon fire, you have to think about this. Are you firing on a pretty big formation lined up for the kill? I once manage to kill 8 longbows with one cannon at once because they all lined up along in a nice line. They do bounce...something you have to consider. Also, I dont think it works with a British Rocket...I think it does not work against rockets...as they..you know..."explode"..correct me if I'm wrong though. I just have never seen anything take one from a rocket w/out dmg.

  • hmm that seems possible and yeah the brit rocket explodes which i hate since it does a lot of damage. same thing with the flying crow...those 2 things are evil.

  • Oh Yeah, you know what you said about not attacking ranged units with melee? Well, I can tell you one which you must NOT attack with range...Grenadiers. An ally of mine once tried attacking 12 grens with about 20-25 muskets. Lost it, then lost the game. Reason being, theyve got 50% range resistance. But, theyve only got 5 melee dmg, iirc. So, just to let you guys know. Grens are blimin amazing sometimes

  • i know which is why i use hussars for them....i made this vid a while back so can u tell me about not attacking range units with melee....cause i believe the opposite. MELEE those damn RANGe units...unless there 50 of them microing.

  • lol smurfs.

  • it's good, but the micro you mention is a bit lacking. Starcraft players can split their units into two groups to kill faster and move back wounded soldiers and reuse them. You also tend to just shoot any unit rather than those with lower life. And you don't need to use the hotkey to click on a unit. Otherwise good job.

  • thnx i've done that before =D cept on age of empires though..and your right it does kill them faster when they micro from both sides..but wounded soldiers can't be healed though unless you get a monk and when you have an army of 100 skirm it kinda gets hard.

  • furthermore, play with minimized UI so u can see more of the screen, and set zoom to very far. You should hotkey attackmove so you don't have to press it with your mouse every time, and don't really want to use it unless raiding with hand cav, or moving your army towards a foward base without wanting to pay attention to them. Finally, if their explorer does manage to get ur villager to low health, garrison it in town center, that will kill their explorer quickly and won't idle 4 villagers atonce

  • yeah the hotkeys are Z and X, and tc's don't kill explorers unfortunately that fast, or i would have killed many unfortunate foreigners xD. But great constructive food back tho, that deserves a thumbs up =D

  • but i do use minized UI and i do zoom very far...

  • seriously? firstly: the only reason you won the skirmisher battle is cause you had more skirms; you didn't micro them you made them less effective even by only slightly weakening individual targets so all of them still shot you at once. The point of skirm micro is having 10ish per group and having all 10 shoot one skirm at once so it dies in one hit. In the dopps vs GB, you only won cause they didn't shoot u from far away, and you should never attack an enemy explorer with villagers ever

  • trust me i don't rig things >:O it's micro-ing if they focus on a unit, unfortunately they attack anything near them so its half microing..but it still works and doesn't weaken them at all,and you attack enemy xplorer with villagers if your pissed at them. it's effective and they can't explore half the map in a rush game :P unless they decided to head to you next. Great bombards and doppels i'm not too sure about,so i'll have to agree with you ther, and thats about it,man you had a lot to say :P

  • you shouldn't attack move with skirmishers that doesn't help because the first line of skirms will start shooting while the others move around the first line, wasting time not shooting. I still maintain that you should never use villagers to attack an explorer, it stops you gathering resources for the long amount of time it takes to kill the explorer, and i've never had an explorer kill my villagers in a rush game before by shooting at them (excluding explorers+ war dogs/minutmen) ;D

  • let's not argue about this cause unfortunately this is all worthless quarrelling and the that this is...well too big of a subject that anything could happen but we don't have proof to back us up that much....and attack move does help with skirmishers cause i won 3 games today with it ;D and it explorers attacking you does happen in some of my rush games ( stupid spanish players) but then that means their noob, but it is a good fact to know though.

  • what is your gamertag on ESO? i want to add u as a friend :P

  • by gamertag...as a username? tahts Retro2, and whats ur user name?

  • its lord_fischious; im a sargent like u on nilla but on tad im a master sargent :P (although really im smurf coz i beat a lvl 34 one time unrated)

  • k i'll add u tomorrow :P

  • Yay 3k views!

  • you said you were micro-ing, but you failed to say exactly what you were doing, or let alone really how to do it : /

  • i'll add annotations :P

  • thanks buddy, im pretty nub so yeah

  • thanxs man

  • the first ones are normal strategies but i didnt know that the villagers can kill the hero so fast in melee :)

  • Yeah, me too. But then again..it kinda makes sense now...apart from that cannon dodging...how in the world? is that what that formation does? I thought it was a useless formation, since it slows me down, and it didnt change the resistance vs ranged units.

  • hey chibiSenpai i love th original age of empires 3 without expansion and i play with my friends online in your opinion which country should i play as to own them all?

  • sorry dude my inbox not working right and i couldn't reply faster... okay you should play ports in no rush or an ffa. Ports will kill anyone if they aren't attacked first. Then i'd say german, than ottoman. But ports would be better
