I play on two different location, in my domority Im a average vet player but when Im here at home with superfast internet everything dies so easily and i almost never get hit... sooooo my 2 cents superriflewhores just got lucky with their internet connection, discuss
i play alright when i play on the euroservers because I don't try to turn empires into CS with high ping. obv.
communism usually griefs everyone else - now hes changing tactics and griefing himself. ping does matter: but because of the state the server binaries are in + crappor server hardware = very unpredictable results
Empires isn't a twitch game so connection isn't as much as a problem. I can have 300+ ping and still do pretty well.
doesn't matter if i play on the euro server where i get 250+ping or on viper's where i get 70 ping, i still dominate the scoreboard. imo ping doesn't matter barely at all. it helps almost as much as it hurts to have a high ping.
