I doubt they will even age up at 1 hour...

Lol in a recent "2v2" (each team was 1 human and 1 Sandbox AI) my ally aged up at 16.30mins :D 

thats much faster than i had expected

sandbox AI barely train military. i doubt they even call the minutemen...

but sometimes its fun to play 7 AI's on easy just for fun

I am a sergeant (????not sure...maybe corporal)  and I can beat expert on supremacy and annialate expert on treaty.

I suggest you start on easy/moderate and then work your way up until you can beat expert in both modes (supremacy and treaty) before you start online.  If you are interested in DeathMatch, I suggest the same for that.

expert comp is (i think) just a hard computer with a 100% handicap, so they get alot of reasources. the fact that even after the massive bounus they are still not a hard game.....

I feel Expert AI is a challange, but it depends on the opponent, and the game type.

In Supremacy, I find Expert AI fairly hard (although I haven't played vs an expert comp in a long time so I'm not really that sure anymore), but hard is too easy.

In 40 minute treaty, expert is much easier than you would expect, you can easily double their score by the 40 min mark - and they don't build any walls..

The expert comp is ridiculously predictable and stupid, it often marches armies right past stuff like your hunting or mining operations, it lacks the ability to perform micro which leads to crushing victories in your favor, and does not defend its base properly at all. Being a comp, it can't even respond to its base being attacked very well at all; it is possible to raid its mills and plantations with light cavalry and run off before it can react. No challenge in a 1 vs 1, though the hardest time is at the start of the game where it can rush much better then you due to handicaps. Beat that, and you're set.

Yeah. The only advantage an expert comp has is a faster gathering rate and (i think) a faster training rate. That's why their early game score and their age up time are ridiculously good. But alas they are easily owned in the late game (assuming you can survive their initial rush) due to their lack of military strategy, which ultimately determines the late game winner.

I just joined and I just wanna know what level do other players play? To see if I really suck at this game or I am somewhat good.

Please Post :)

In Multi-Player against a comp I'm mastering beating hard, moderate is like easy 4 me... But in single-player hard is like easy 4 me.

Single Player is easy

Sandbox= Babies could play this

Easy=My brother who is 5 can play this

Moderate=NEWBS

Hard=A bad day

Expert=hard/easy

 On expert if u get past their rushes u win easy. in treaty games u win once the treaty's over PERIOD

True. The computer is usually easy to beat. It's still a lot of fun to play against, though.

In treaty 1v2ing expert comps is possible. Least i do so and i'm only a MS in treaty.

In supremacy there are many ways to beat an expert comp (and i don't play sup tbh), either you turtle up and "hope" you will survive the initial rushes. Or you send your explorer to the comp's base and start shooting the villagers so they retreat into the TC. That way you can slow down expert growth so much they actually have a score that's lower than a hard pc and you might actually be able to rush the expect comp like you'd rush a hard comp.
