Quoted from Lorenzo:

Little Thing Yes I do say it like it is a bad thing now stop being one says:
checklist to expert

i have only 2 or 3 checked

I do think the mod pack is mandatory! The mod (specially the one that changes the information the game gives about units and upgrades to accurate numerical values) teaches you a lot!!

Knwing how to use GPs is very important too.. :S I added a box that says to play a lot of 1 vs 1 rated games. I might describe that it gives you a lot fo experience like the uses of GPs r somehting ... **thinking**

No, most of the info on Aom: Pages is for TT (as the guides and Bo's were not written by me but by TT expert players mostly)..

Spoeft's Thor guide for example is intended for vanilla; but there is also HellsRavage Thor guide (intended for TT)..

OMG I do not understand what he means...

Except for the last part, he has only 2 or 3 checked??

I dont think so, he has obviously read hes guide; he has obviously watched expert recs; he obviously knows the basics of the game and the counetr system; I know he can read scores and that he microes like hell; that he has played a lot of rated 1 vs 1 games and that he knows what to do vs other Gods with the one he is playing...

That gives me like 8 checks out of 11 for sure, plus Im almost sure he can do the other 3

Edit: Oh it was an MSN conversation with a weird nickname... Anyways the point is still there...

Is it really necessary to learn how to read the score?

It certainly helps you to see who is doing better in the game but that's about it.

You if your scores are equal, and after a battle you are 300 points behind, its obvious that you lost more units then he did.

In some post you said experts could know when a player switches to a new mine...
I do this by comparing to my mine, and also experience tells me when my mine is about to end.
(Generally norse are more dependent in gold so when my mine is about 1k, he has already gone to a new one.)

I think one advice is to not always play with the same god. Playing other gods and cultures will give you more an inside perspective and will allow you to see what there main weakness are.
If you keep playing with the same god you will just not notice.

The idea however, is good, yet, I don't follow the 'save your progress' button. Could you explain it better please?
Thank you.

tell them i don't watch expert recs, don't have specific strats vs specific gods and that i made the guide therefor it does not count
Little Thing Yes I do say it like it is a bad thing now stop being one says:
tell them i had checked:

1) basics of game
2) use hotkeys
3) read score
Little Thing Yes I do say it like it is a bad thing now stop being one says:
i don't play many 1v1 rateds, i don't micro in battles (i just get econ ups and aq units with 500x better econ), i don't have specific strats vs gods (i just get econ ups and aq units), i don't read expert guides (they are stupid and reading them would probably deflate my rate by 50 points), i made the guide myself so 11, and i ignore the counter system (i always mass 1 type of unit)

Sam_Ham, please check your e-mail,

and Ubermode, please don't by pass the swear filter.

AoMH, banning good players since DeaN

Mods really need to cool down. First Lorenzo who did not even break a rule ("stirring up the community" is not a rule), now Sam Ham for a reason I find irrelevant.

What are you guys going to do when we no longer take the nazifascism and go berserk on your little noob forums with full kiddy p0rn? Manually check and acknowledge the registered users? Block pictures? Really now, we are just trying to be reasonable and help the 165+s here without a 155+ scenario moderator going delirious or a moderator who's named after a fruit with a lot of vitamin C that doesn't understand the concept of humor.

There should really come a new, seperate topic for discussing the bannings and rules/CoC or whatever openly, including the bans towards Lorenzo, Sam Ham and probably some other persons as well... Sunrise shoots to mind. Sure, writing a 2k+ word rant as to how Papaya is gay is indeed against the rules and I don't think this needs any discussion, but what Sam Ham/Lorenzo did was basically nothing.

Now, I know you people will go "rules are rules" "we won't be told what to do by some random person who doesn't agree with our things on our own damn forums blahblah" etc, but take GloryOfSparta who deleted Lorenzo's topic when he beat her 2 out of 2 in DM (where she claimed he would beat him and where Lorenzo claimed DM was for noobs and that he could rape any DMer). She used "ram lamer" as an excuse. Haha, pathetic.

I know moderators, angels and whatnot here at HG have big problems with being beta and prefer to out-alpha every single situation they get, but I suggest you either let this account unbanned (swallow your pride, it is not poison, you will not die) and perhaps create a topic discussing the rules OR start disabling [ img ] codes and manually approving each new account registered at heavengames. And hire a better webmaster because I'm quite the scriptkiddy.]
