Having been battered back to an ELO (the score what tells you how good you are) in the 800s, I'm now at a lower level than I was when I started playing, and I'm surrounded by people who haven't even heard of a build order. I'd try to "fast castle", focusing on rapid early economic growth so as to get to the game's third tech tier, only to have a squad of gits march into my base eleven minutes into the game, because my enemy had thrown everything into a feudal age military rush. As ever, my weakness was timidity about being aggressive early. The wins took me out of the world of newcomers, into the wide band of the leaderboard frequented by people who actually know how to play, and I got beaten into the ground with a bastard sword. After my first ranked win, I had a streak of confidence-fuelled victories, and started to feel like maybe I was the Big Man. I've been having a bit of a rough time in my quest to become good at Age Of Empires 2: Definitive Edition. This is part 3 of Nate gets good at AoE2, a series in which Nate attempts to get really good at Age Of Empires 2, via the monstrous crucible of ranked online multiplayer.
