    Subject: What does FF mean?

    I've been wondering, what does it mean? What does it stand for?

     Thanks

    FF = fast fortress. You age as fast as you can mainly for better shipments and using age 3 units
    ES_DeathShrimp:
    There is no technical reason to limit teams to 2 or FFA. We just didn't want to spend valuable testing time on obscure cases like 3 vs 2 vs 1 vs 1, which account for far less than 1% of games played.

    FF is a value in hexadecimal representing 255. In terms of age of empires, it stands for the time on the clock "2:55". This moment is when an expert computer on 20% handicap reaches colonial age on the map Orinoco. This is relevant because it is a universally shared age time no matter which civ/personality is being played, thus an equilibrium and fair slate which we can build strategies on.

    Macro: Managing all aspects of your economy (proper gathering, herding, multitasking to resources)

    Micro: Managing all of your military, in-battle (hit-and-run with ranged units, encircling and evading with cavalry, raiding with cav units, bombarding targets, using just enough units to kill different units so you don't waste shots)



    Yes, please.
