I have a buddy who has been playing AOE for years. He invited me to start playing and now I'm hooked. Here is my issue...
while playing AOE 3 - Asian Dynasties, I will host a game and he joins, I don't enable cheats. But within 5 minutes of gameplay, he has built almost all trading posts available on the map. When I go over to his base and look, he is constructing tons of buildings and houses. He will also have massive armies within 15 minutes. At the end of the game, I will view the postgame. His resources will be somewhere around 285,000.
My question is this: Is there another way he could be cheating? I know I am far from being a professional at this game, but I can have a maxed out population and tons of villagers working on resource building. But I end the game with around 110,000 resources. I don't see how he has enough wood accumulated to start building that many buildings early on and at the same time? And how he can have the resources to build an army that fast, that early.
Maybe it's a stupid question, but I am just curious. I have tried everything to build resources quickly but I cannot figure it out. Thanks for any help you guys can give!
