Age Of Realms 2

NEW AND IMPROVED GUIDE!(edited 17/12/10)

Age of Realms 2 is generally a hard map by all of you, so this is a strategy guide for Age of Realms 2. You all start with a castle, there are 6: Xi, Borun, Figye, Mua, Aoria and Ghyr(ya don't need to know how to pronounce).

There are different techniques at the start.

We need to get villages, which is +1 if you have a castle and a village. So you have 5 troops if you have 1 village and two castles, 4 if you have 1 village and 1 castle, you also need to get resource pairs, which are:
1.rabbit farm and butchery
2.berry field and basket weaver
3.Log camp and Timber mill
4.gold mine and coint mint
5.iron mine and blacksmith
6.fishery and market.

You get 3 troops for 1 castle and 1 resource pair, 3 troops for 1 village and that resource pair, and normally 3 troops for territ bonus, that's 14 troops for 1 village, 2 castles and 3 troops territ bonus. So aim for castles, villages and resource pairs, and you are genrally far apart from your enemy, so spend ALL your troops on expansion because ALL normal territs get -1 each turn.AND NEVER attack on the first turn except in some instances.

At the start, you should attack depending on your location:

[spoiler=Aoria strategies]Deploy 3 there(if you want to) and attack the butchery(9vs.6). Try not to use auto-assaulting so you can stop and save your troops if you're losing. Attack Aheo, then rabbit farm. But do NOT attack unless you are feeling lucky or have 7 troops or more. If you have spares, attack fick. This will give you 14 troops(10 troops with only 1 castle).[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Borun strategies]Possibility 1: Attack yrake, Gold mine. Fort back to borun. Then attack mor and Coin Mint and if you have enough take haet. This will give you 14 troops(10 if you have 1 castle)
Possibility 2: Save the troops until you get to 15. Attack yrake and gold mine but don't advance to gold mine. Then attack urt and coin mint.[/spoiler]

[spoiler= Ghyr strategies]This is my favourite spot; save your troops(you put 3 troops on ghyr and there's a further 3 cuz of autodeploy)until you reach 15 on round 2. Two possibilities:

1) Attack drog and gunn, if there's extra, attack dub and iron mine and hopefully blacksmith, you'll be super powerful by then, but if not, save you troops on gunn or iron mine, if not enough, try not to stop at dub. This will give you 14 troops(10 if you have only 1 castle)
2)If not, attack ayr, eon, ikalu, iron mine, yta and blacksmith. This will give you 19 troops.(14 if you have only one castle)[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Mua strategies]This is my 2nd favourite.
Possibility 1: Save till 15 and attack ubb, market and Fishery.(9 with 2 castles, 6 with 1)
Possibility 2: Save till 9 then attack duisch, aosa, and sler. Stay there for a turn or two. When you think you have enough head for Figye.[/spoiler]

[spoiler= Figye strategies]Attack lof and timber mill. Fort back. Attack ost, bef then log camp. Attacking bef is better then fylg cuz in a fog game, if your opponent has basket weaver and berry field bonus, you can attack them sooner. If you have spares, attack sler.[/spoiler]

[spoiler= Xi strategies]First turn, attack oi to mat to ju to basket weaver. Fort back then next turn attack oi, Mat, ju and basket weaver.[/spoiler]


Xi+Mua combo: From Mua, take duisch, aosa, sler, log camp, then basket weaver. From there, xi attack bisd then berry field. This will give you 19 troops.

Figye+Mua combo: From Mua, take duisch, aosa, sler, log camp. From Figye, take lof and timber mill.

The sanctuary is wasting time. Dont take it. However, if you're playing nuclear and by some 0.5% chance you get the sanctuary card, nuke and attack it.

Game log reading(for fog of war):

Look at the pattern in which your opponent(s) takes territories. And what he got for nxt turn bonus

-Takes 2 territs, then takes 4, nxt turn gets 14. Most likely, either, Gyhr,or Xi, or Figye
-Takes 2 territs, forts, nxt turn takes two territ. Nxt turn gets 9. Most likely Borun.
-Takes 2 territs, forts, nxt turn takes three territ. Nxt turn gets 14. Most likely Borun.
-takes 2 territs, forts, nxt turn takes three territ, nxt turn gets 9. Most likely Figye.
-Takes 4 territs, nxt turn gets 9, most likely aoria or mua.
-Takes 5 territs, nxt turn gets 14, most likely aoria.

However, the strategies for castles written above are based on the scenario that it is fog. In fog be as agressive as you like during the first few turns and watch the bonuses that your opponent is getting in the game log. It is highly improbable that your opponent will get your castle within 3-5 rounds. After that, be cautious.

If there is no fog, try to build up as much as you can. If your opponent slips a little or wastes a few troops and there is no way he can take the bonus next round, go for it. Best is to wait until your opponent attacks and gets the bonus, then you can attack and snatch it from him. And remember, big stack vs big stack, even if they are the same, the attacker usually wins. So don't build up too much.

NOTE: Always fort the 3 autodeploy troops you get every turn on the castle to wherever you need it. They can make a difference!




Hope this guide has helped

PS. Feel free to post additional info.

Not my fault if this guide doesn't work, your who asked you to take advice from that idiot jleonnn?

[Koganosi]

Borun: I hate this spot.cincentrate on other spots, but if you want to...
First attack Mor, then coint mint, then reinforce the extra troops back to borun(unless there's an enemy at aoria, then be more cautious)and next turn, or next turn of the next turn attack yrake and coint mint.

Totally wrong mate.

Borun is even one of the best in my opinion. You should take yrake then coint mint. In the second turn or atleast try. For back and then try to w8 another turn or run to heat. That is the best. Borun is the best becuase you almost never see people atacking who aint are coming from aoria. Mua goes to sler most of the time and ghyr to mua and xi and figye are always fighting. Even some people go from aoria to xi.

[iancanton]

Sanctaury is normally useless.

[jleonnn]

yeah, if you hold the sanctuary, you'll probaly be eliminated by you opponents.

[sailorseal]

You should join Strategy Ad-hoc, send a PM to [player]The Fuzzy Penqui[/player] if your interested, what the group does is create guides like this but then they become official

[jleonnn]

yeah, I know

[MrStealth]

hey thanks for the guide! i love it.

Its there to be taken.When all your opponents are beaten down to a 3 drop when you are deploying 200+.
You hit 2 territs and win rather then prolong the game for an extra 2 minutes.Eliminating all you opponents.
I'm shocked AoR 3 hasn't got it.It can be a bit of a bore once the game is over.Having to trot around taking out one spots.
Examples: Game 5238719,Game 5242701 and Game 5239663

This will only shorten the game in an unusually long multiple player game. Otherwise, it just makes the game longer.

You can have any drop you wish. Let me get Gyhr and I'm kicking your ass.

Not really. You got many players in a freestyle game, and want to end if fast, take sanctuary, and wait for one to start, and end it.

Longer? No. Faster, yes.


a player has 5 castles, and the other in the 1v1 has only 1 left, the player with the most takes sanctuary in the last second, ends, and starts again, bam. It's won.

[jleonnn]

This thread has been updated and lengthened. I have been playing aor2 for more than a year now and it has gotten me to major

[darth emperor]

Aoria: you get +3 autodeploy, so deploy 3 there(if you want to) and attack the butchery(9vs.6)
save your troops and depending on the odds, attack Aheo, then rabbit farm, if you have spares, attack fick. you get 14 troops if you have aoria, fick, your other castles and you 3 troops for territ bonus.

In this case i prefer to take first fick...so you get +1 to get rabit farm,and then haet...you can have always butchery 2 rounds later with the troops auto-deployed in aoria...

[PLAYER57832]

Borun: I hate this spot.cincentrate on other spots, but if you want to...
First attack Mor, then coint mint, then reinforce the extra troops back to borun(unless there's an enemy at aoria, then be more cautious)and next turn, or next turn of the next turn attack yrake and coint mint.

Even some people go from aoria to xi.

No, you get far more than 200 from having a couple of extra villages or castles, AND by attacking your opponent, you shorten them. By the time you have enough armies to conquer the 70 something on Sanctuary, you can just wipe out your opponents and win the game in one turn, instead of waiting.

[jleonnn]

exactly my point

You are joking right?
You are telling me you actually wait in front of the PC for 24 hours plus for other players to take each round in turn.
I don't.I take my 2 second turn and get on with my life in the RL.
If you do wait wide eye'd in front of the PC.Then of course you must finish that turn in the long drawn out manner in which you said.

No, read again. I am saying that I don't want to wait around for everyone else.. I play and win (or don't as it may be). Your method is slow. Period. Nothing cute or sneaky or quick about it.. and I would gaurantee I have a better record on that map than you. (check if you like).

[KoE_Sirius]

I have a 70% kill ratio on AOR2 and you have 55%..my way is better so there lol..J/k You do it your way and I'll do it mine ok.

[bazmac]

You've got to be joking! , "I'm currently 2nd on aor2, in between gcwca_4_life(3rd) and eddie666, who is 1st. Over half of al my games are on aor2" I'm far better at this map than any of you ROTFL!!!!!!! You should keep your delusions of grandure to yourself!

[jleonnn]

really? Cuz your map rank is 6000 less than mine and your win rate is 15% less at 41, while mine is at 56. You still don't believe? You wanna play a string of games? best of 15? I'll squash you like a bug. Like i did with ask me2 (i won 11 games out of 15) Ah just joking about the earlier part... just try an you'll improve. No one is better for any other person

[edwinissweet]

someone organize a round robin with all the aor2 masters.

[jleonnn]

It would be fun But it would b better with gcwca_4_life. Too bad the last time he came on was last month.

[jleonnn]

ok y'all I've just updated the guide based on my latest knowledge. Come check it out.
