  • Age of Empires 3 is often regarded as the less successful followup to the legendary powerhouse that is Age of Empires 2. Many regard it as the weakest entry into the age of empires series and yet it still has a decent following and a rather unique charm to it. Admittedly the janky rts strategy combat leaves a lot to be desired but when paired with exploits like the cavalry only challenge, you can create some rather unique situations. So today ladies and gentleman we dive into Age of empires 3 and see if it is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits. Or perhaps the game is relatively broken considering it has a rather effective invincibility exploit which creates the games most overpowered units yet. With a fair amount of micromanagement you can have an army with over 200% more health and damage than any enemy unit. Prepare yourself to watch the most broken and overpowered AOE3 army yet as it one shots almost every other unit in the game. Who would have guessed the most defensive army in the game was the one that cant build any defensive walls or towers. I cant wait to see what kind of overpowered exploits and glitches we will find in age of empires 4 once some gameplay gets revealed!!
    What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.
    So sit back relax and enjoy this AOE3 Funny challenge!

Wait for them to come out at a save distance, and repeat.

I love it, I used to play it all the time. I don't know whether this franchise is older than HoMM, but it's about as old as HoMM2 or so. It ran on MSDOS, and later on Windows 3.1 maybe.

      "Sioux" is a term coming from the French, the absence of pronunciation rules in English randomised its pronounciation but in French it is and was always fixed from its spelling.
      SI - OU - X : "si" is pronounced as "see", "ou" as the "oo" of "loose", and the "X" is silent.
      Seminole comes from the Spanish "Seminola". The non subjective pronounciation would therefore be :
      "sé" ( s sound + "é" as in café or pokémon) - "me" - "no" - "la". I guess the "la" became a simple "l" sound in english.
      The English pronounciation is really messed up. It confused it's rules between Germanic and Latin roots, leading to this kind of modern nonsense.

      Thats easy. Just load up on SRM's.
      I got 3 cats with SRM's, 1 with LRM's. I just annihilate anyone who gets anywhere close. Only weakness is ammo but, i just stock a ton of ammo.
      Half the time a SRM alpha with a catapult will strip all armor off a heavy and will get really close to knock down. It kills anything lighter and 2 catapults will kill pretty much anything. Even if it somehow lives it will knock them down and cost them yet another turn as well as give me free called shots.
      Downside is there is very little salvage. Generally rips the mechs apart.

  • @DillonMeyer
    @DillonMeyer 4 года назад +5

    Found myself a lovely exploit usable in the current version of Stellaris to have invincible ships. Albeit it's a bit mid-game, but it's literal invincibility.
    First, you're going to need all the major expansions, and the Lithoids race pack.
    Secondly, make a Terravore civilization. (Devouring Swarm Lithoids) By base, they regenerate 0.25% of their hulls and armors of all their ships (and starbases/defensive structures) every day. That's not a lot, but it gets better, trust me.
    Next, you'll want to personally create versions of all your ship and defensive structures that have no shields, but massive amounts of armor.
    Focus on upgrading your armor technologies, getting them to level 5 armor, and armor +5% bonuses whenever possible, as well as hull upgrades for ships.
    The last two steps have to do with psionics.
    You'll have to learn Psionics and make your entire civilization be psionics via the Transcendence ascension perk.
    Learn to make and create at least one Titan or larger ship, and of course, give it only armor.
    Finally, the part you've been waiting for; the nigh-invincibility.
    This one takes a bit of luck with communing with The Shroud.
    Commune with The Shroud until you run into an option that says "Ship Repair".
    For the next 60 months after every time you activate the "Ship Repair" Shroud event successfully, you will increase your daily hull and armor regen by another 0.5%.
    This means all of your ships will be healing for 0.75% of their maximum armor and hulls every single day.
    How does this make you invincible though? It's just simple health regeneration, right?
    Titan ships have a 10,000 base hull. That's 100 health regenerated a day, which means 100 damage is negated, by base. This is of course, an unupgraded Titan ship with no armor, no bonuses from admirals and technologies.
    Lastly, the final piece of the puzzle, a Juggernaut.
    After you build a Juggernaut, units it's in the same space as will never die, ever.
    Juggernauts are unique in that you can only build one, it counts as a space station with the ability to directly repair ships and create new ones, and come with a special aura effect of your choice. We're of course going to choose the one that mimics our Terravore bonus of 0.25% hull and armor regeneration per day.
    In total, all of your ships near the Juggernaut are going to regenerating 2% of their total health bar per day, which means any damage an enemy can deal under that number is effectively zero.
    To make it even better, the Juggernaut by itself has a 100,000 health hull by base, meaning the enemy would need to do over 1,000 damage a day to it to even begin to scratch it.
    It is possible to do more than 1,000 damage daily with a ship, but when you're not regenerating 2% of your lifebar, you're going to lose to the enemy who is.
