Two days ago , i started playing Aom: TT online via Voobly and i frequently lose. It is extremely frustrating to me. It turns me into a very negative person. I have only won 3 of about 14 games, mostly against people who have played presumably hundreds of hours more than I. The vast majority of the time, i have played 1v1. I want to refine my skills as an individual before i become heavily involved in team games.
The fact that they have played more than me answers why i have so much difficulty, however the question is not that, but rather how to overcome it.
Most of the time, i have played as norse and my opponents as Atlanteans. They have superior economies to mine and rush me in the Classical Age...and i simply do not have the economy, and therefore not the military, to resist such that i often end matches with a midset of, 'f**k this game'.
How in the world can I possibly win? I need a better economy. I need to know about build orders...
How shall I divide my villagers between the three (four if I'm Greek) resources? My brother has suggested getting 2 of the hunters on gold and then half of the remaining ones on wood once i begin advancing to the Classical Age, but what shall i do from there? I have yet to consistently implement this tactic, though.
Shall I upload recordings of my online games onto this site so you people can point out to me the mistakes I make?
Oh, and also, did i once use on these forums, in reference to build orders and general military and economic management in AoM, the phrase, "Irreparable clusterf**k"? Or did I say it on Youtube? Either way, i hope (but doubt) that I did, because that is exactly how I'm feeling about it right now.
I should play as the Atlanteans because i've heard (and experienced) that they are easy for noobs to play as.
