You're in the Imperial Age and someone starts attacking your Wonder with heavy siege rams and onagers protected by heavy camel and cataphracts, what do?

Didn't I just fucking say you're in the Imperial age? There is no internet in the Imperial age.
>>322639789
stop playing AoE, start playing SupCom Forged Alliance
halberdiers+siege onagers.
>>322640908
This might work, although the Cataphracts have an attack bonus vs infantry.
>>322640908
die to cataphracts horribly
>>322639789
Same as every MP match, infinite waves of halbediers and skirmishers and he'll run out of gold long before he gets anything done.
>>322641110
>>322641076
well if you let someone build up that force you better have enough halberdiers to blot out the sun.
people complain about sc2 having hard counters yet like aoe2 at the same time
XDDD
Ask my Portuguese ally for assistance.

He killed off all his villagers to build feitorias and has jack shit.
>>322639789
Mass Magyar Huzsars alongside Hussars because they only cost food and I can shit them out without restraint and just run three or four of them to tear their shit down with full blacksmith melee upgrades
>>322640614
Do people still play? Or do I needfriendsto play with?
>>322639789
Mass longbowmen, blot out the sun from a safe distance and brute-force the rams as your enemy was foolish enough not to have trebs
>>322639789
Nothing because he's not getting anywhere with that army comp
Build castles. Lots of them.

How many rams and i tend to have a fuck ton of cannon towers place around my wonders and knights and the enemys always dead by the imperial.
Blame it on the ISP
Spam chandeliers like mad. They can deal with the horse/cammelmen and have a few archers focus the onagers.
>>322646106
I meant Halberdier not ceiling decorations. Although throwing enough of those from the walls might work too.

>every RTS I've ever played
Is there an RTS that favors turtling? I love to build walls and shit but it seems every game has shit like nukes, guardians or trebs that can outrange every kind of stationary defense to slap my shit.
>>322647143
Do you have any idea how fast teutonic knights die to cataphracts?
>>322647302
There is no game in existence that favors being slow and inefficient
>>322646928
isnt that from the campaign
>>322639789
Spam Elite Mangudai backed up by Halberdiers. Should get rid of them nicely.
Gunpowder and Halbs.
AoE is so comfy god damn
there's a game with the same aesthetics? and less focus on combat
>>322649127
>Gunpowder
Gunpowder sucks for anything other than Spanish Galleons.
Send 50 war elephants out.

What mods are recommended?

How do you expect a game to function if stationary defenses don't have a counter while being really strong? You'd end up with two unconquerable bases and nothing happening for eternity. Plus you can just counter-snipe trebuchets with your own trebs.

I just want to be able to build an impenetrable fortress and wear the enemy down by attrition.

Pure defense is a flawed strategy according to the mechanics of the universe.

Not true, You've gotta be the side with the bigger guns and the longer range.
>>322654064
I'll fuck off for 60 years and go conquer all of eurasia + africa while you huddle in fortress america, see how long your advantage lasts if you're too shit-scared to go on the offensive.

In Total Annihilation you can build a laser gun turret that has the range of the entire map, but is very inaccurate if used to target extremely far away targets, uses a shitton of resources to fire, and has a long cool down.
But if you're set up in an impenetrable base with tons of resources flowing in, you could easily sit back with five of those guns firing volleys at the enemy, eventually destroying them from the comfort of your own base.
>>322654372
>Not fortifying distant lands after making sure your own base is fortified.
There's nowhere for you to conquer if there are already defensive bases built there.
>>322654382
But how do you get those expensive artillery pieces while turtling? Your opponent should be harvesting the entire map instead of his little starting corner and should soon flood you with more killbots than you have defenses. Expansion, it's the name of the game small son.
>>322654570
How do you have fortifications in distant lands when you're not going on the offensive?
tfw still no way to make roads
