A good example of how to defend against double rush in a TG: I foiled all of the rusher's sneaky attacks until he rage quitted ! @AInur  thanks for the op save and carry! General tips to defend against cav rush: Position woodlines at the front of your base - you can see incoming cav and start damaging them.  Start mining early, with just a few infantry on stone and metal. They will protect your farms Always have houses near your women. Make sure there is enough garrison space for all nearby women.  Always mix melee inf and ranged inf. Take hunt between you and your enemy - food income while spying. Invest in outposts if the enemy is very aggressive. 

System says so when I do apt list --installed, but the build doesn't see it.  (I'm nub at Debian based distros)

Do you have llvm installed ?

I'm trying to compile A28 on Ubuntu 24.04 and I encounter this error while building the libraries. 0:04.37 DEBUG: llvm_objdump: Looking for llvm-objdump 0:04.37 ERROR: Cannot find llvm-objdump I searched through apt but couldn't find such a package. The same error occurs on Debian 12 My command was  ./build-source-libs.sh -j28   On a separate note, the wiki on BuildInstructions should include curl, git-lfs and wget to the list of dependencies This error does not occur on other Linux distributions. Only Debian based.

I looked at the code and there were some requirements for the Easy bot that it has to fulfill before reaching P3. But on Mainland Standard Settings 200 pop it doesn't really get there within reasonable time (I waited for 20 minutes) if at all. IIRC there are also hard limits on the troops it can field. But the incompetence of the AI is not related to train time but rather stupid strategy  

This is a great bit of info that should definitely be mentioned in the FAQ or some Wiki page. That was my reasoning also, having already experienced how vastly different Age of Empires 2 Easy/Standard and Moderate AIs are. I've tried playing Easy on Defensive expecting some huge losses, but it was still too easy. Guess I should try out Medium now that I'm more accustomed with the game. EDIT: Realized that I'm talking random nonsense, Easy does eventually go P3 because I saw it build Fortresses. You can't build a Fortress in P2. Although it doesn't build a lot of champions, if any. Maybe you never did allow it to build up? @Seleucids

Not really. They're interrelated but not the same. A slow paced game can still be a difficult game. And a fast paced game can still be an easy game.
