Alex The Rambler: the Age of civilazitions 2 is a very simple game that is don't need tutorial Also alex the Rambler : *Forgot* *how* *to* *play* *the* *game*
I play this on my phone when I'm at work, was the Soviet union in ww2, loaded my boarders with around 1000 per region, Germany invaded Poland, then tried to invade me and I said nope... now all of Europe is now russian, besides the uk they're cool
I played unified japan in 1440 and colonized all of north america, carribean, australia, ming, france aragon and sicily also estonia and denmark for no reason
I played the United states in 1836 i turned communist I vassilized the new world turning every new world nations communist kick the Europeans out declared war on Russian Empire i took Alaska i click the more expensive vassalize button cause i was communist it turned Russia to the Soviet Union then i declare war on UK i allready took canada and there new world islands this time i took everything they had released communist Great Britain the released India and Oceania eventually turning them from the communist then i colonized all of Africa feeding it to liberia for no reason. Then i realised I could win the game if I just ultimatum everyone which i did and won the game the only thing i directly controled was texas Canada Alaska japan and mexico took 3hour cause i did not know ultimatum was op
In "more" you can build castles to gain more defence (like 10 or 20%) watch towers to watch the enemy's troops, farms to increase population, factories to increase economy etc...
It's actually pretty cool as a mobile game. I've probably spent days in total playing it, especially the modded versions. Too bad it's still so broken and buggy plus the dev quietly abandoned it after all the hype. P.S Just click the province for the second time to move an army to that tile 😉
@@achour.falestine like thats gonna matter ☠☠☠ Aoc2 is a bad game. And i do not trust the dev whatsoever. He never bothered to fix some of the most glaring bugs. (Relations stop working after couple hundred turns, after couple thousand turns saving dont work anymore or the whole save just straight up breaks. Just to name two) And not to mention the beyond annoying way how moving troops works. Granted if aoc3 comes out on mobile and wont be abandoned like the second installment he could make some fat bank, since no one really cares about bringing out actual quality games for the mobile market. I have reason to believe aoc2 never got much needed bug fixes or improvements is becauae of all the 12 year old fanboys defending aoc2 as the greatest thing ever. The least thing the dev couldve done is implement a simple mass division movement system so you dont have to do 50+ clicks per turn just to move your 25 divisions. Its tedious. Just to name one gameplay issue. For a free game its alright. For 5 bucks? No. I refunded it quickly. Then proceeded to crack it ☠ Its not worth 0.5 hours of minimum wage work.
The US does it exist, you'd just have to discover it either by sending troops across the ocean or putting money into research. Also, there is but more to the game that I think you might find interesting if you understood.
Nah you can just have 100 times more population and economy from the second country after like 1000 turns and just have enough money per turn to rebel every other country that has more provinces than you annexing everyone isn’t that funny
@@wife_puncher_bot8483 *You move when you click on the province you already chose. I just wantet to put a name on it. It's not something that we call.*
Another thing. You can download custom scenarios, create custom nations and flags, and edit nations. Wanna make a T H I C C Communist Cherokee Empire across the southeast US in the days of Rome? Go for it!
@@legoyoda3546 I think so too. But that's an effort for a day when I have nothing better to do period. Lol. Point is, it's got a ton of customization and endless possibilities.
You know you can just double click on a province you wish to attack to move units there instead of clicking on the province and then clicking the tick button.
Tip: if you want to get troops faster then go onto your province which you want to get your troops from go onto more on the province and scroll down to were it says Conscript and press on that and select how many troops you want and then they come immediately and you can get troops faster
As a Greek i can tell you that Ioannis Metaxas was leader of Greece from 1936-1941 and wasn't even alive in 1836. Apparently the game developers cannot be bothered to check wikipedia for the right information. As for declaring war on the Ottoman Empire - Greece tried it in 1897. It went about as well as it went for you in your playthrough.
Alex just a tip you can double click when move trops so you dont need to press the mark and also press space when done with turn. Ps when you are in the diplo option in any country you can change the name, just go to diplo options then click the name og civ and you can rename it. Click on the cities name in the botom corner you can change the name og the city. Thats it. Btw click options and click through the many options and have fun ;)
The best thing about this game is that you can just send ultimatums and demand provinces, or even annex your enemies. I literally just pump out soldiers, have like 200k men on field and just threaten everyone, they mostly chicken out and get annexed without a fight.
And also increase you stability by assimilateing your province so that you can get more troops from there and then it’s less likely for them to rebel against your country and become there country again or other country’s supporting them to rebel and if you assimilate then the rebelion Number’s go down a lot or get to 0
Well he succeeded in convincing me to pass on this game, where I was considering getting it before. Really, with Crusaders Kings 2 being free, I don't see why I would waste my time on a clearly inferior game...
Yea : Age of Civilizations 2 is so easy. You just need to calculate the moneyu and tech points in the start build a ton of factories. you need to use the ultimatum strategy to annex all of the world in 1000 turns and stabilize the nation and try to be a supepower and dominate the world without any focus to be more op or make any lore and did I told you that Albania can annex the soviet union in wwii
