Isn't it slightly unfair to only compare steam numbers? If you look at the side which aoeZone is interested in, the competitive ladder, the playerbases are roughly equal according to aoe2.net and aoeiv.net if you look at the 1v1 ladder. I don't play aoe4 myself, nor do I really enjoy to watch...

Been a while since I read one of these! Very enjoyable as always, thanks for the effort @Huehuecoyotl22. Also love your interview series @MaSmOrRa. Nice to see you on the receiving end for once! :D Interviews to get to know the people behind aoe2 is content that I really thoroughly enjoy.

While I don't have strong opinions on the ATP system used to seed the first edition of this league, which might of course sting for some people missin out on a chance for the RBW ticket, I think people should keep in mind that if this league does indeed go on for a longer period of time it...

I'm not sure how they determine things like these, but in Stronghold:Crusader, which was released in 2002 already, you do actually get a notification when your keep is enclosed in a game. You do have the advantage in this game, though, that you have a very clear base, which is your keep. In aoe2...

Hasn't this always been done like this, though? For Frank you have insane pala but lack bloodlines, for Britons you have very strong archers, that lack thumb ring. Teutons have very tanky cav but lack husbandry. Mongols have stronger hussar but miss the final armour upgrade, etc.

Depending on this gap, I would probably quit playing teamgames all together as I almost always play with a good friend who is quite a lot lower in elo than me. I think this is a horrible solution since it potentially locks out honest friends trying to play games together.

Thanks, was stupid enough to not bother to watch the video before I posted where they mention this exact detail!

Is this game from the former SC2 dev team?

FINAAAALLYYY!!!:D

Not much effort and requiring a team of at least 50 people to make new DLC feel contradictive to me. Of coures they work on a multitude of aoe entries, but still, it seems there's enough to do for a very large team to work on it. I'm curious how many of the team works fulltime, and/or if there...

Not an exact timestamp, but the interview for aM' at least was played right at the end of Membs today's stream. So if you play 5mins from the end you should easily catch it.

Yes, those maps have similarities as well. I'm not saying they play out the same or are copies, I said they were similar.

Fortified Clearing is a map quite similar to arena!

Thanks! It did seem odd to me that they didn't have that function. I guess that will make the viewing a little bit better.

I occasionally watch T90 or theviper on FB, and one thing that seems really annoying to me is the lack of a 'theater mode'. I like to play a game in a separate window on my laptop while I watch a stream. Since facebook doesn't allow the chat to hide, except for fullscreen mode (afaik at least)...
