Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your contributions to this wikia. However, as long as article titles are incorrect (e.g. Dark Rider should be Black Rider), please don't shorten titles from Age of Empires: xxxx to xxxx (AoE)? This nomenclature is used for purposes of clarity.

Thanks, !mmortal talk 04:46, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Are you back at the wiki?

Not really back I just go back and forth and make some edits. I'm right now on the Age of Empires Online Wiki. But if you need anything I'm here to help. BTW you should check your signature it has the link incorrect. - KazMx (Message me! E-Mail me! 1,292 Edits! ) 22:59, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Piano, I reconsidered coming back, I will be editing at least ten times a day. But I do have other wikis, especially the AoE Online Wiki, which I'm considering merging into this one. But I not 100% sure. - KazMx ( Message me! | E-Mail me! | 1,292 Edits! ) - ( ) 15:43, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

Admin rights

Hey, would you like admin tools to move pages and stuff without the rate limit? I can give you them for a week, or you could request them permanently here. Thanks, Ajraddatz Talk Contribs 02:04, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

You never got back to me - would you like temporary sysop tools so you can move as many pages as you'd like, rather than need to wait for rate limits? Ajraddatz Talk Contribs 20:48, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

I've given them to you for a week - you can request them permanently at Project:Administrators/Requests. Ajraddatz Talk Contribs 14:11, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

Revamp

I think this wiki needs a major revamp (especially the Main Page).

We need a different Featured Article and for that new nominations which we currently lack.

We also need a new HBFS. Btw, what purpose does it serve?

We need more/new Trivia under the DYK heading.

We also need to eliminate those red links and just unlink the ones to impossible pages.

We need more pictures (Google Images is a good source e.g. Morgan Black AoE III).

We need a standard format for articles and users should cease referring to themselves on pages (such as "i think this is the right spelling".

We also need more active users and a page to link all User Accounts and Admin Accounts (We currently have a page called Users but only 1 link. The trouble is, nobody knows how to add a User page to a Category).

Thanks

Hello there

Ah, Piano! I've seen you on Sporewiki for quite a bit recently, and I just want to say welcome! I'm also an avid Age of Empires player, and I occasionally come here to do some clean-up work (grammar, spelling, etc.). But, I just came here to say hi. Nice to see you here! The Jovar 15:13, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

I came up with an idea for some navboxes that may or may not be of great use for the wiki, which is why I am proposing it to you before I go ahead and make it. I have the idea of making an navbox that provides easy links to the individual types of units within each game (for example, an AoE II Infantry navbox would contain a list of all infantry units found within the game (it would be sure to point out unique units, and order of lineage as well)). If you don't think that I should implement it, that is absolutely fine with me, but personally I find it a bit difficult to navigate through the various pages for units found in the different games. In addition, since I am only familiar with AoE II, I will only be able to make an accurate navbox for AoE II units (though provided with an accurate list of units for the other games, this may not be a problem). Again, if you do not like this idea, then just go right ahead and tell me, though I do look forward to going ahead with it! The Jovar 04:38, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

Greetings From Hoodedwarbler12

Hi there! I'm new here. I know a lot about wikis, Age of Mythology, and AoE II and III. Especially AoM though, because it's the only one on my computer at this time. I really like wikis, and this one looks great! I'm looking forward to helping out a lot in the future! --Hoodedwarbler12 14:10, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

Double Redirect

Hey i was bored and came across your wiki, noticed the massive amount of double redirects that needed fixing, so i ran my bot through. Hope you don't mind, lol made 6th on the wiki. If you need any other bot related task completed, let me know. Gracey91 ✉ 18:13, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

Hello

Hiya Dan! i'd say Aoe is one of the first modern video games I can remember playing...

Anyhoo, I have suggested some improvements on my userpage on unifiying and cleaning the wiki. I think myself and the ideas can be a great addition to the aoe wiki. So, drop on by and give it a think, won't you? Thanks, Big McLargeHuge 22:03, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, that is quite obvious. However, it ha been a very long time since I have played any of these games, nor can I now, so I really can only help on the wikia side of things. You may want to check the candidates for deletion, becuse that category is getting bigger. Big McLargeHuge 14:43, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Heads up

Why didn't you deal with this twit who thought he could mimic multiple personality syndrome and spammed the entire wiki activity feed with utter nonsense? C'mon Piano you've got the POWER! XD !mmortal talk 03:30, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

Image deletion

Hello, seeing as your an admin, could you please delete files: Image:Trireme.jpg and File:StoneThrower.jpg ‎as they are not being used at all, and the images have been replaced with a higher quality one. Thanks. emosworld 06:15, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, and Image:Stable_1.jpg - thanks. emosworld 06:46, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm focusing on Age of Empires 1, and Rise of Rome at the moment, seeing as I'm getting back into those games. Unfortunately, I don't have Age of Mythology, so I guess I'll just focus on AoE and RoR. emosworld 20:56, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

Suggestion

Great work Piano! I've got a suggestion to make, and don't really have the time to see it through. How about changing the background to a (larger) image that encompasses the entire (or most of the) series? Any response is welcome! !mmortal talk 10:07, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

Message from Oprichnik

Hi, I'm from Peru, wanted t know if you have a Egyptian capital of the Age of empires online, also found a perfect balance in these four units, wich together, in a large armycan be unstoppable:

-Chariot Archer

-Catapult

Re:Promotion for LeeUnit92

Hey Piano, I haven't been active for the past week, apologies for the late message and Happy Black Friday and Thanksgiving! We don't actually celebrate them in Down Under, but anyways :). I promoted Lee a couple of months ago, see here.

Cheers, !mmortal talk 05:10, November 27, 2011 (UTC)

Pictures

Well, it's kind of an effort - I also get the same issue with print screen (in which the screen turns black when I paste the image). What I do is use the video capture software called FRAPS. I capture a video, then open the video using Windows Media Player. Somehow, when you video the game, it does not turn black. I then print screen the video - voila - you have a perfect image (with exception of the yellow/red numbers on the top left hand corner). Hope this helps!! emosworld 06:22, November 28, 2011 (UTC)

Also, on a side note, there's been an idiot destroying and creating new pages. Could you please delete all the bogus pages, and block this idiot here. emosworld 06:24, November 28, 2011 (UTC)

RE: 1850 Pages?

Possibly, but then again, a jump of 50 pages doesn't exactly happen within the span of a week. The Wiki servers might not have cached information correctly, so that may explain the increase.

I might make a few edits here and there if I can get my gaming comp up and running again, at the moment though I am mostly doing console gaming.

I don't know why there is a gap between the Main section and News section, which has pushed it partially out of the text background, any ideas? Also, I suggest we should have gaps between articles' titles and opening texts, thoughts? Cheers! !mmortal talk 10:17, February 6, 2012 (UTC)

Assistance

Hi mate, I've disabled the article comment feature for the time being, after excessive spamming. <gone for the time being> Cheers !mmortal talk 05:27, February 7, 2012 (UTC)

Can you edit here:http://thesupergaming.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WikiActivity. I have been trying my hardest to make this wiki grow and the wiki itself is kinda a video game encyclopedia. I would really apprecaite it if you edited there because we need fans from different game series to fully expand. As of that i will edit on a wiki you have that needs help or any other wikis that you want me to edit on. Overall thank you for reading!Reviewportal77 18:49, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Should've asked sometime ago, but for your exemplary edits here, would you want to attain the position of Bureaucrat? !mmortal talk 02:53, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

Absence.

I think I'm going to take a break from continual editing and focus on my education. In my general absence over the year, I'm sure you'll fulfill the role of main bureaucrat here that all will seek advice and guidance from :) Thanks !mmortal talk 00:29, April 22, 2012 (UTC)

Age of Empires 2 name change

Could you please help me change the name of the Berserker to Berserk? Everytime I try renaming the article, it won't move.

Jadeempire 20:49, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Some articles here are "move protected" in case of vandalism or attacks made by sock puppets. The title of the Berserker article cannot be changed since it is actually referred to as that name in the game. If you need additional assistance, feel free to send me back a message.

AoEIII Unit Icons

Am I allowed to replace images like this, with images like this?

Because, you know that the article is about Settler Wagons, and the hitpoint bar is also quite useless, so I think only the icon would make it look nicer. BoazMoerman 19:08, May 23, 2012 (UTC)BoazMoerman

Of course! Feel free to make any changes if necessary. However, try to retain the original name of the picture if possible. This can be done by saving the new picture into the name or title of an existing picture, overwriting the original file. Even if the new picture is "duplicated," don't fret. Just ask an admin around here to remove any defect or duplicated images. If you need additional assistance, feel free to contact me whenever possible.

LOS

Do you know how you can calculate/see the LOS of units and buildings in Age of Empires III? I can't find it. BoazMoerman 13:49, May 27, 2012 (UTC)BoazMoerman

Buildings and other units can reveal range and other important information by simply clicking on it or its icon. However, only a certain amount of buildings actually possess range. Buildings that have their range shown can attack other units. Buildings with no range shown cannot attack other units, but have economic/technological purposes. No matter what type of building it is, it does have line of sight. Line of sight is slightly different from range. Line of sight can be greater than the firing range and all units have this ability. Unlike range, line of sight is usually not revealed in game. Cheers!
