[lukwerty]

well our strategy topic is closed for all users but you can check leader's movies- http://forum.ee2.eu/leadersyoutubemovies perhaps it will help you in something.
btw if this link doesn't work just go on leader section near to ew's members list

Hello welcome to the our great forum
Lukwert's link should be: http://forum.ee2.eu/t466-leader-s-youtube-movies
Watch last films to see 5-5 strategy.

What about settings?
I don't think it's same setts which you played in 2006, because our 5-5 setts are popular since... hmm... 2008
Anyway I show you what we are playing
Here are setting from my file:

Code: Select all

GameSettings favorite_UserGameSettings {
   startEpoch = 5
   endEpoch = 5
   revealMap = Explored
   lockTeams = 1
   lockSpeed = 1
   teamPlacement = 1
   gameSpeed = Fast
   initialCeaseFire = min5
   eTerrPopCap = p60
   eTournamentMode = Fast
   eMaxPopulation = p2000
   staringForcesBasic_CitCount = n10
   mapSize = Small
   forestation = Medium
   geography = Plains
   climate = Temperate
   minutesPerSeason = 10
   startingSeason = Summer
   timeOfDay = Afternoon
   pTournamentMode = 
      {
         fBuildTimeProduceMod = 0.8000
         fBuildTimeConstructMod = 0.6000
         fHitPointMod = 0.5000
         fResGatherRateMod = 1.5000
         fBuildCostMod = 0.5000
         fEpochUpCostMod = 0.5000
         fTechPtGatherRateMod = 1.5000
         fCaptureResMod = 0.5000
         fConversionResMod = 0.5000
         fTechResTimeMod = 1.5000
         fMovementSpdMod = 1.3500
         fDamageMod = 1.2000
         fStaticDefense = 1.2000
      }

   bUnbreakableTreaties = 1
   bLockedHandicaps = 1
   eMPDestroyPlayerAIDifficulty = Normal
   Players = [
      {
         name = "~eW`~>JeT'adore"
         difficulty = Normal
         civ = Roman
         color = Green
         handicap = Good
         active = 1
      }
 
      {
         nameIndex = tx_fe_playername_computer_2
         difficulty = Normal
         civ = Roman
         color = Red
         handicap = Good
         active = 1
      }
 
      {
         nameIndex = tx_fe_playername_computer_3
         difficulty = Normal
         civ = Random
         handicap = Good
      }
 
      {
         nameIndex = tx_fe_playername_computer_4
         difficulty = Normal
         civ = Random
         color = Orange
         handicap = Good
      }
 
      {
         nameIndex = tx_fe_playername_computer_5
         difficulty = Normal
         civ = Random
         color = Magenta
         handicap = Good
      }
 
      {
         nameIndex = tx_fe_playername_computer_6
         difficulty = Normal
         civ = Random
         color = Cyan
         handicap = Good
      }
 
      {
         nameIndex = tx_fe_playername_computer_7
         difficulty = Normal
         civ = Random
         color = Yellow
         handicap = Good
      }
 
      {
         nameIndex = tx_fe_playername_computer_8
         difficulty = Normal
         civ = Random
         color = Lavender
         handicap = Good
      }
 
      {
         nameIndex = tx_fe_playername_computer_9
         difficulty = Normal
         civ = Random
         color = Purple
         handicap = Good
      }
 
      {
         nameIndex = tx_fe_playername_computer_10
         difficulty = Normal
         civ = Random
         color = Gold
         handicap = Good
      }
   ]
}

So... the most important:
startEpoch = 5
endEpoch = 5
revealMap = Explored
LockTeams = LOCKED
lockSpeed = LOCKED
teamPlacement = YES
gameSpeed = Fast
initialCeaseFire = 5 minutes
eTerrPopCap = (max pop per terr) 60
eTournamentMode = Fast
eMaxPopulation = 2000
staringForcesBasic_CitCount = n10 (10 cits on start)
mapSize = Small
forestation = Medium
geography = Plains
climate = Temperate
minutesPerSeason = 10
Game Speed = fast
tartingSeason = Summer
timeOfDay = Afternoon
When player leaves game = Remove


I think that's all, but we will show you when you be on
Please remember to install patch 1.3: http://forum.ee2.eu/t1070-empire-earth-ii-unofficial-patch-13
Because we are playing now only on this patch. For more info, just visit link which I sent

As I said on beginning - watch my youtube films, I'm sure it help you to remind strategy:
here is my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/LeaderEE2
Select playlist: Leader's Empire Earth II Gameplay - and watch

[MistressBlack]

yep same settings :p

though i kinda miss the guy who taught me how to play(sadly he started having a life when i started playing D: )

Hope to see you in game...or something.


How do you install the 1.3 patch?( do i need it?)

my Game files :

C:\Program Files (x86)\Rebellion\Empire Earth II - Gold Edition

do i install there?


Also...do people still play?(i saw like 1 person on)

[Dr.MonaLisa]

People are playing, but most of us is from Europe, so we are playing in "normal" for us hours

Of course it's not that much players as before, but still people playing it

Yes, you need patch 1.3 to play online with us. Be sure that you have installed already patch 1.2, then install 1.3 from link.
In 1.3 is added some new things (like widescreen 1600x900 etc). Patch 1.3 connected all players from different versions of game. For example there were people which had DVD, CD and cracked version. They couldn't play together. EE2 was dying, so we decided to create new patch.
Instalator of patch 1.3 should automatic detect your EE2 folder.

I'm trying to have active BOT on ee2 which inform all people about patch 1.3
Please remember that all players are playing in Europe room. I checked and actually there are 3 players on

at the beginning they played 5-5 too but they called it different dont remmeber
just on the times were pedro peppar asnd so on played babs became popular and they called 5-5 as noobsets^^

[Dr.MonaLisa]

Maybe they knew 5-5 setts, but strategy was much different than now. For example they did only balistas, and we are making only catapults
5-5 was always more advenced setts. In 5-5 you need to be more fast to win.
They are calling "5-5 noobs setts", because they are bad at this.
Every sett is normal. Every sett with "small res" at start is normal. Even death match setts are special, because you need to be fast. But fortunately none playing it now.

What language do most of the people speak?
