Hi folks - I just got my AOE3, along with the War Chiefs expansion. Seems I cannot play a deathmatch game starting with no resources (my favorite way to play).
Is there any way possible for me to do that?
Also, hope I'm not posting this in the wrong forum, I didn't think it was actually a "tech" question... :-)
I do love AOE2 and this AOE3 is gorgeous looking - I just don't want to have my game end with this "four of a kind" thing OR have my game start loaded with resources.
Thanks in advance,

Isn't that the whole point of a Deathmatch to focus solely on military?
Anyway you could probably achieve what you're looking for by playing a regular Supremacy game and putting the starting age on Post-Imperial.
But then again, I've never played deathmatch so I'm not too sure what it's like.

So great to get good info. from you people - thanks!
Now I can't wait to play....
I guess I'll just start up the "vanilla" and play "supremacy", as you have suggested, because my War Chiefs expansion will not allow me to deselect the deathmatch mode that I originally chose, no matter what I try to do. Don't know why.
Thanks again, I'll stop back to this thread to follow up on how I make out.....

You could mod the death match start up files to start with no res. The ai wouldn't like it too much, but they'll handle.
