Age of AOE part - II
The golden days
"oye Rod, jaldi kuchh bhej de yaar."
"Arey bachao, mera castle tod diya."
"heman ke ghode aa gaye re."
"yaar, yeh ghode ke ghode, ghar todke chale jate hain, dimmag kharab."
"Yeh kya chindi leke attack kar raha hain, chal gayab ho ja."
"yahase attack kar raha hain woh, jaldi wall bandh de."
I started playing AOE in first sem of IIT, in the Old Software Lab. From some site, I got the full vesrion of Age of Kings, and I saved it in my chandra account. I finished all the scenarios except the Changez Khan scenario.
Our seniors used to play the game in their own labs. Because of this the people in our batch were already heard of this game. Somewhere at the start of second semester, I palyed a game with Shyam and Nitin. That was the first multiplayer game I played. Before that I played only with computer. I amazed by the skills of those two in the game. Shyam was known as the champion of the game in the branch. In this game, I was playing against him. He attacked me at the early age, but fortunately I have gained enough resources to defend myself. He lost most of his resources attacking me, but could not conquer me. And again he had to give up as Nitin defended both his partners, and attacked him.
Somehwer near this period our classmates took interests in the multiplayer game. I exactly don't remember the order, but it was like Rodney, Harsha, Kattu, Sattu, Shivak, Suresh, Santhosh, Arun, Satwik, Vishal. After the dinner we used to gather in NSL. If there were not enough players, Rodney used to call them from their labs. Once, four or more than four members gathered, we started playing in two teams.
Initially my strategy was diffensive. I used to collect the resources till the imperial age and then attack the opponents, with full researched paladdins. But one day I played with some Btech guys. There were two btech guys vs. me and Balaji. The two guys attacked me too early when I was in just fudal age. Somehow I managed to defend, by building wall and tower, but soon my resources were out. I asked Balaji to give me some resources. He said, "main to pehlehi resign kar diya, yeh dusra single player game khel raha hoon". No need to say who won that game.
But that game gave me new strategy, and I started attacking in the early age. Send three villagers in the enemy's camp just when fudal age research is started. By the time, they reach their, my fudal age research would have been completed, and then I used to build towers and archery range. Build this where the enemy is mining gold. Then attack enemy with archers. Even if enemy has army, the towers will protect them.
I used this strategy in all multiplayer game, and destroy one or more enemy before he reaches to fudal age.
Each one of us was having his favorite civilization. I prefer Persians as they have high research for paladdins. Turk was favorite of Harsha, Rodney used Brtish. Sattu likes the koreans because of bombard towers. Others I think more or less were using persians.
My Best victories -
1) It was the time when Rodney also used to play the game. Later he left playing game and used to only watch the game. We played one game 3 vs 4. In my team there were Rodney, me and one more person, while in other they were Harsha, Sattu, Sivak and one more. We won that game, on better strategy. The combining resources of our team were less than that of other team. But me and Rodney found out the holes in the attack of opponents, attacking them from different sides, at the same time. One by one we took the enemies and won the game. In this game that incidence has happened between Harsha and Sattu. Sattu send some help for Harsha and Harsha said,"yeh kya chinbdi bhej raha hain". Sattu gets disappointed and returned back. Harsha did not stand that attack.
2) On one occasion I was alone playing against Sattu and Arun. At that time I was using the defensive strategy. I won that game. But the next game, we played, I loose. I loose it because of the bombard towers in Sattu's town.
My worst defeat - Me ans Satwik vs. Harsha and Sawa. Sawa was a good player in water attack. In this game, I destroyed Sawa's original base. But he made other base, and grow while I was concetrating attacking on Harsha. It was a very long game, and finally they won becuase I was out of resource. It was the matter of just 200 gold here and there. I say this worst defeat because one of the enemy was already displaced from the base, still we lost.
Most irritating game - Me and Vishal vs. Kattu and Harsha. It was interesting game except Kattu was snooping over his shoulder and watching our screens. This was his definition of spying. Finally me and mama got frustrated and resigned.
Cheated game - me and kattu vs. Rodney and someone. We were about to loose when we started building wonder and protect it with all of our strenght. Finally wonder was completed and we won.
Some more scenarios -
1) It was when satwik used to play the game. We start playing at night and continue it, When we finish and got out of lab, the climate was alreay lighted with sun light, and Satwik said, "yeh kya hain, subah ho gayi". After that incidence he left playing AOE.
2) Kattu as usual would get irritsted as the game was taking his lot time, and he could not resist not playing. So he used to delete the games from all PC's. But he was not knowing that I have saved the game in my chandra account. So I used to install the game again. Each night he was wondering how the game was installed again.
Some day some stupid guy from BTech compained that NSL was used to play games. After that window was banned from NSL. In the next sems the members got shifted to different labs, and so our days of AOE finsihes. I remember a line from a famous english song, "Those are the best days of my life."
