AoE A Game or more

 Originally written in June 2009

AoE is one of the interesting part of our four year B. Tech more to those who played it more than like a battle than just a game. Unlike we got satisfied by just 3 or 4 nice game in a day rather than playing all day. Most interesting part of game is discussion, in the early stage especially, after the game that last more time than the game played.

How can one forget the best of games in best of maps like Arabia, Oasis, Arena…

How can one forget the heroics of individual players..

1.   Sriram Murlidharan- Out_of_form, _Anathema_, _Indus_Blitz, Ripoffartist__. and many more . He loves to change his nicks time to time. Most Dangerous player (Icon Player1). There is class act in his play he never panics. You see him play you can hardly tell is he playing or watching a saved one. He is Fedrer of our game. He is one man army. Favourite color blue[1].

2.   Saurabh Suppal- _zed_, Thunder. The name Zed send juniors hands shaking, he has created such a buzz among then by winning 1 on 4. He is the only challenge _Anathema_ has and the only hope for balanced game. I can say he is Nadal of our game. He is responsible for the distribution of this game. He is great team-man. Good strategies (20 minutes 20 knights). Our Icon Player2. Favourite color green[3].

3.   Manish Chopra- love. Well as usual in AoE also he was the center point.Everybody loved to watch his game.His style was most unique among us. and ofcourse only he had the powers of creating a full server.He just hated playing defensive (hates walling....).Great flank player....in team games i always feared to come in flank position with him.His speciality was that he played good in random situations......i remember when i lost to him 5 times simultaneously in a new map with hero and monk....  by Saurabh Suppal

4.   Ram Kumar R- Supersayian, Neo, Gengishkhan, RodrigoDiaz and some more rubbish names. Member of Elite Four.  This man has great economy every recourse above 2000 when others have none. Never able to defend his 3 yr. roomy our _Anathema_(or we can say never able to defend anybody). Eats every bodies gold. He understands the game better than other Elite Four members (knows each unit beautifully). A great pocket player. Unable to play when someone is sitting behind him. Favourite color light blue[6].

5.   Chandan Kumar- Mayan’s, Wolverine. Great strategy maker after the game at least. Murlidharan ka chela (big fan of him). Unable to hold the nerves in the pressure situations, still Member of Elite Four. I won against him in 4 out 5 when we came on flank against each other. Favourite color white[7].   

6.   Sanyam Singhal- samurai_frantic, Topssy kertts. Member of Elite Four. Nice attacking player have great co-ordination in raiding. Best civilization Franks. I lost to him almost every time he has franks. Plays best when he is in pocket. Unable to play when someone is sitting behind him. Favourite color red[2].

7.   Sharad Kumar Yadav- chandragupta. Game ends when comes to the party. Favourite combo Palladin + Handcannoneer. Favourite color yellow[4]. You got frustrated when you raid him. Goes to castle in 22 in Arena. Plays till the last blood. Never uses keyboard (not even hccc).

8.   Sandeep Kumar Singh- NICK. Great entertainer(enjoys everybit of the game). Always have lots of wood. I still wonder why again and he clicks on house(may be someone will come out). Great combo with zed they never save each other (mostly zed never saves him/unable to save him) in our Elite Four vs Icon Player matches.

9.  CTVK Reddy- Lucan. 18puli, lycan. Great researched army. I loved the way he used petard in the oasis fight. Confused in the initial phase of game.

10.Viplav Ashish- AvaTar. Arc Rival of chandragupta. They have 36 ka ankdra. Win:lose ratio almost 1:1. Has started with hidden castle formula. Great fascination with dock, monk and relics.

11.Amit Anand-War. If he has played regularly will surely be in Elite Four and probably above some of them. He hates Arabia. 

 

*One other great rivalry is Jain-Baba they played all night games. Their favouritre units archers and pikeman. It’s great how they placed their keyboard and mouse.

**One player that complained not given place in main server is angel i.e our born engineer.  

***The newest born group is of Bharat Chandra, Lokesh Sharma and Earshad, combined with jain-baba.

Ankit and Jamal have played also but other works kept them away from the game. I will always remember that late night games I played with Ankit and Viplav against computer during Durga Pooja Vacation.
