It's so damn boring. I mean, who doesnt put all villagers on food in discovery to age up? Every game you play there's 5 mins where you play exactly the same time after time. It's always best to put all villagers food. Creeping maybe makes it a little bit more entertaining, but not after 300+ games. I remember in aom you had to adapt your build order in the first age to your strategy. In Aoe3 you have absolutely no choices to make in age1.
there is more to do in first minutes aoe3 then aom. (or you liked exploring with egyptian priest). You can be quite busy getting treasures, especially with civs that have scout besides explorer.
and @ aom i also went all on food first minutes
you can also play DM

I agree somewhat, but it's also early game that can make or break a match v.s. equally skilled players, i.e. if someone has 5 idles for 20 seconds, that will slow them down and give the other player an advantage.

You could always play with the Dutch, they don't have all their villagers on food

Plus your only in discovery for what 3-5 minutes?? I dont find it boring at all. Gettign treasures..microing your huntables (shooting em toward TC)..scouting the other guy..how is this boring?
Also there is a choice in age1..u can choose to get an early TP up or not^^.

i agree. just about any strategy is getting the hell out of discovery first.
