I gave up on sending fleets early, they cost too much to produce, when that money could be spent on investments that help you over time and are less volatble. Either that or eventually I end up going to war with one of them anyway, in which case I can just send a fleet to take it.
Usually because a war has broken out between two of the neutrals and they either withdraw their trade fleet or one destroys the other. What I normally do then is just camp the trade lane through the zone with an unimportant vessel (like a frigate or sloop) and use it to ninja a trade part as soon as one is left unoccupied.
What I normally do then is just camp the trade lane through the zone with an unimportant vessel (like a frigate or sloop) and use it to ninja a trade port as soon as one is left unoccupied. So, like you I find unless I time it perfectly I arrive at a trade zone with all of the trade ports already occupied by random neutral nations. I personally like to let the other nations deal with the pirates occupying the trade zones, as i rarely have either the naval technology or the money to create fleets capable of taking on the pirate galleon's early in the game. I always end up going to a trade node to late and some randomcountry like Georgie has everything for some reason. That way at least your allies and friends get to make some money, only your enemies starve to death. Since, if I understand you correctly, normal games crash to, I think buying another version of aoe will be a waste of money, because the problem is probably not going to be solved by it.Originally posted by Didz:This is such a powerful strategy that I hamper myself with a house rule that says I'm not allowed to occupy more than one trade zone in each trade theatre. Only when you introduce the enhanced/composite editor you might start experiencing crashes. As I said, normal games should work properly even with the collectors edition. Maybe the newest videocards dont support aoe anymore? But on the other hand, my laptop is less than a year old.ġ.0b should be available on some of the internet-selling sites, but I don't think your problem is really the version. Apart from the version my w7 or vista will be no different from any other vista or w7, so my conclusion remains that it's not the operating system, but the hardware/software. So if the problem is windows related at all, it must be the version ( I have w7 home premium). But why is why aoe running fine on both vista-64 and w7-64 windows versions.
