Idea for TG points - Last two years instead of last one year?

Also 90th on the all-time DE ladder. T90 is literally a top 90 player! Nili is 68th, but a bit rusty, so a streamer contest between them should actually be pretty close right now.

Good point, rename that (civ) to Rus. Also, we need Modri to team with Daut, so no qualifiers and West, South and East Slavic teams 11.

I always say it, but imagine teams split by language to compete against the top nations: Spanish, English, Slavic, German speakers vs. Brazil, Suomi, China, Vietnam Then add Scandinavia, France, Turkey, Benelux, Italy & Taiwan, plus 2 qualifying 'B' teams and you have a 'BOA-type NC' (i.e. a...

I noticed on the ATP rankings spreadsheet that the first 15 months (Jan 2020-Mar 2021) total $330k, while the next 12 months (May 2021-May 2022) also total $330k ($340k adding The Resurgence). Amount of tournaments: 20 vs 28 (or 18 and 10 in six month periods, showing the pre-AoE4 rush) By...

It's not exactly Nations, but imagine the 4v4 teams for English, Spanish, Chinese, Viet, Suomi, Slavic, Portuguese, German, Scandinavian, French, Dutch, Turkish, Italian speaking teams, etc. Slavic team sounds OP on 4v4 Arena 11

PiXL - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnTeFPK_QEdWPckohJ9JvgA - 7.42k subs - English Has a video with over 4 million views, only beaten by the original soundtrack with almost 5 million!

Interested to hear suggestions for an optimal switchover? Top 16 (>2175) or Top 32 (>2100) on aoe-elo? Top 16 would translate to coming back to highest ladder ratings at 2500~, top 32 at 2450~. I guess it's fair to say that 2450 highest is a rough boundary between pro and semi-pro levels? 2500...

Banning Dostoyevsky would be like banning the Slavs from a tournament or the whole game 11

Now I get it, the $2 per hour is not a salary but some sort of annuity or dividend etc.!

IIRC, Nili hinted/said that he made the decision soon after AoE4 was released and it had double the numbers of AoE2 at that time. His decision was pretty logical for when it was made.

Well, he did tell us that he is not allowed to publish a tournament calendar, as it would have to be on the official website and it is not a high priority for them to make a page for it and keep it updated.

I feel like N4C was the first barrel, this is the second barrel (wow, what an investment in this league!), and now we wait for the river. If these can't save AoE4, then I don't know what will (will they continue to improve the game and move on to adding civs in DLCs if it literally crumbles to...
