You build palisade walls?

Hey can you give any advice on which types of units to use.
Which units are better against what units?

Nope, Stone Walls. You can build them in the Feudal age. You will need a lot of stone though. In AOE2, every unit can be countered with some other units. For example, Knights are more effective against Infantry, Camels are more effective against other mounted units, Speamen/Pikemen are more effective against Siege weapons and mounted units, Militia/Men-At-Arms/Long Swordsmen, etc are more effective at buildings, etc. Read more about them in their description.

When I go to attack enemies, I usually prepare a raiding party first. Consisting of Swordsmen mainly and a few archers. I then attack the outer buildings of the enemy to check their strength I attack with the swordsmen and use the Archers to cover them.

Also, while organizing your army, always group the same units together so that they all move at their independent speeds, otherwise a group of mixed units will move as fast as the slowest unit among them. I usually make one battalion of Swordsmen, one of Archers/Hand Cannoneers (Imperial age) and one party of Cavalry (Knights). I also make a battalion of Unique units depending upon the civilization, like Persian War Elephants are pretty tanky units (but more expensive on food). Also, if you are in the castle age, don't forget to make Trebuchets, they have long range and can demolish most buildings in under a minute.

Why cant we have a warcraft 3 RTS match ?? its more noob friendly than AOE and honestly has more variety in the races

ITs like DOTA + RTS, considering you level up a hero and build items etc

I don't have a fixed time when I return from office these days, so I might not be available most of the time. But ping me when you see me on Steam and I can get back to you then.

Warcraft 3 RTS is more complicated than AOE since you have to manage each hero's skills and items as well. AOE is more straightforward, gather resources, build and army and attack.

IP got changed because they are re-allocating IPs and moving to new hardware and servers.
