Acronyms and Abbreviations Glossary

There are many newer players, or players new to the AoE: Castle Siege and AoE Forums, that do not understand all of abbreviations. The intent of this post is to be a glossary for all of the acronyms.  We'll start it off.  Some of these are very basic, but I didn't want to make any assumptions about the knowledge level of those visiting the forums.  There are many acronyms that are passed around, so contributions from the community will be useful.
