I've been a member of GameRanger for a while, and I am familiar with RM - Random Map, and CBA - Castle Blood Auto, but I have noticed other game types such as Path Blood and Michi.
Can you give me a quick overview of each type of game that there is?
The community isn't great with new players, like myself!
I'm not familiar with Age of Empires 2 scenarios, but I found a list of scenarios with explanations which includes Path Blood at a blog called Gaming Lan.
It doesn't include Michi, but there's an explanation up at Urban Dictionary.
... a type of game map that uses impassable terrain (usually forest) to prevent players from rushing or coming into contact until the intervening terrain is cleared.
Path blood is a custom scenario, completely different from RM/Dm.
You have no villagers, or a town center, and instead you just fight with units out of a "spawn" They keep coming untill you lose your tower.
In a "Blood"
the basics are the more kills you get= the better units razings= rewards
and to win you have to kill everyone else's main tower
