Help Wanted: Loading Screen Tip Suggestions!

​

Hello there Celeste players! We are asking for your help today.

In order to make the experience for new players better, we are looking into adding more helpful loading screen tips to the game, such as the examples you see below.

We would love to hear your suggestions on what loading screen tips you would add to the game. It could be anything from gameplay tips to things about managing your inventory or anything else that you think could be useful.

There are no rules, except that make sure your suggestion is less than 180 characters long, so that it can fit into all screens.

The deadline for this contest is 2021/02/06.

Don't forget to include your in-game username in your post!

We look forward to your suggestions! Thank you and happy gaming.

Here's two that every new player ends up asking eventually:

• In order to link to an item in the chat, first click in the chatbox, then hold shift and click on the item you wish to link. This is very useful for selling items to other players!
  
  
• Want to split up a stack of items into smaller stacks? Simply hold shift and click on the stack.

And this one is maybe the most crucial lesson for macroing in both pvp and pve:

• Don't let your buildings go to waste! Their time is valuable. Your Town Centers should always be making villagers, and your military buildings should always be training units.

 

As many as you'd want! And here is fine, yes

allright, i have some.

Should i do regroup all in a single post or make a post per tip ?

PS No, I don't work for the Project Celeste Team.

 

• These are the existing ones.

i think this existing game tip doesn't fit with persia, no ?
"Spearmen are typically the only combat unit that can be built during Age I. Build a few right away to provide a needed defense"

And this one is no longer active:
"You can find many different stores in Age of Empires Online. Don't forget to shop in other player’s stores when you visit their Capital Cities."

 

If you want to know how many people are on the server, simply type who\ in the chat box and press Enter

Yes, it should be removed too

 

My tip:
If you want to get materials in capital city workshops more efficient，each capital city build the same type of workshops is the best choice.^_^

"Druid damage buff applies to all units in the healing area as long as the druid has a target to heal. The damage bonus applies to undamaged units and allied units as long as they are in the healing area of effect."

"Units added in production queue that are not on the field of battle still take up population space."

"By default, holding alt and right clicking a group of units to a valid garrison-able target, will allow you to garrison them in it. You can hold shift and issue the garrison command and units will try to fill up the available garrison space in order."

"Destroying a building that is doing a research will cancel the research in it. For example in pvp if you snipe the town centre doing the age up tech, you can forcefully delay your opponents up time."

"You can cancel any research at any time and you will get full resource refund."

"If a building is destroyed for any reason, you will get resources back proportionally to how much time was left to finish said structure. For example destroying a 50 wood house that has been 60% done will refund the owner ONLY 20 wood."

"All hero units regenerate health and are resistant to conversion but are not immune to it."

"Enemies in legendary quests have bonus damage above the normal rates against most targets with the exception of siege, which makes battering rams particularly useful at soaking up damage."

"Auras do not stack. Having more than one norse chief for example, will not increase the health of units exponentially."

"Visiting other players city is disabled for now. Please stay tune for further updates."

"Sacred deers are herdable and not huntable. They also automatically convert to the player that has a unit nearby which means you can 'steal' them from your enemies if left unguarded."

"Age of empires is a lifestyle game. - Andreas Petrus Maximus the VIII" (it took longer than you think to find the latin origin of the name )

"All norse military units have the same construction rate, however villagers will construct buildings faster."

I think it has been mentionned earlier in this thread by Honz, he said "Pressing shift+Z while placing a market"

 

Attacking walls spreads the damage to adjacent parts. Spread your units wide on long stretches of wall to share the effort. Attacking the joints with area damage units like balista will greatly increase the damage.

Be sure to optimize the market distance from your town center by holding SHIFT+Z while building it.

The maximum amount of gold a caravan can bring back is 150.

Lost your Norse Chief again? Press CTRL+K to find him anywhere on the map.

Be faster by bounding your buildings/units. Hold CTRL+(0-9) to create a group and SHIFT+(0-9) for adding to the group.

You can select idle villagers by pressing "V".

Sometimes the best defense strategy is not a wall: a little maze or a bottleneck can be more efficient.

Raiding military and production building can be the best strategy ; it will weaken durably the ennemy's economy before the final push.

Legendary items can have their stats rerolled when reforged in Sparta for Empire Point.

Priestress of Ra and Priests of Seth are not considered as converting priests.

You can press and hold the shift key to buy or sell x5 faster from the Market!

 

Pressing [CTRL + CLICK] on a unit or building will select all of the same types on the screen! instead of double-clicking.

 

Greek Civilization can build Academy and research Philosophy Tech to reduce tech research time on all buildings by 40%

 

Egypt Unit Priestess of Ra reduces Research Time/Train Time and Reduces build time and gives Conservation on empowered buildings and can heal in combat!

 

• The F10 key allows you to pause any game.

• While in the chat window, pressing the Up key will scroll through your sent messages history.

• Dealing with tough treasure guardians? Use fortresses, towers or some siege units to aid you.

• Need help or technical support? Visit our discord help section.

• Once you equip an item, it is no longer tradeable to players or your other civilizations.

try to find a route where you get the maximun value in gold/distance in a quest (127 trade gold as the best one). sometimes you can find the pattern next to suspicious objects (mines,terrain colour,etc).
