Help with AOE2

I need help with AOE2HD

1. Strats? I have none. Don't know what's good, any timings, nor any idea of what a typical game looks like (macro until castle age, I'm guessing?)

2. Resources? There's so many options for food but I have no idea of when to harvest, when to farm, or when to pick berries? When does stone become important, same with gold? I understand that resource management is highly dependent on the particular strat employed, but is there any general wisdom to this?

3. SO MANY CIVs (AOE2+TF). I read about all of them, but the consensus I got from that was "they're all equal and responsive to your playstyle." But I don't have a playstyle, nor do I honestly know how to play. Is there any civ that is approachable to start with, get a feel for, and still be competitive with?

Any advice or recommendations? toast

I'm so out of practice. I stopped playing once I realised that there was almost nobody online during the times I wanted to play.

Use google to find strats. Don't be lazy.

The only civ you should ever play - and ever need to play - is Huns.

I think unicorns have a higher chance of existing than gods do. I mean, if a mare fell into the ocean and a narwhal raped it, then the mare might just give birth to a unicorn.

Civ 4 sometime
In battle, in the forest, at the precipice in the mountains,
On the dark great sea, in the midst of javelins and arrows,
In sleep, in confusion, in the depths of shame,
The good deeds a man has done before defend him.

i think it's pretty normal. i'm sure everyone visits the website once or twice a day and if they don't see new posts they just go somewhere else. until someone has something to say, in which case people tab and respond
