AoE2 Tournament Points
Something I've been playing around with for ATR 2023 is to actually lower the base points by an order of magnitude. For example, a WIP of base points and modifiers: The main benefit of it is that you end up with a much bigger landscape for both negative and positive modifiers. Basically, It...

Your thoughts on Frost Giant's Stormgate?
For those interested, this is what I've seen/heard from devs regarding the esports side of the game: Known: Players will be able to jump into tournaments from in-game menus. There will be some sort of official tournaments from Frost Giant. Unknown if that is from them as a company or by...- Adico

AoE2 Tournament Points
If you want to implement decay, especially non-linear decay), here is the formula I use for the ATR: points-(points*((TODAY()-Tournament end date)/365)^decay) Points: is the flat amount of points that would be given out. Tournament end date: is when the tournament is supposed to end, decay...- Adico

Current Situation on Aoe4 and Aoe2
1) Kind of the same as today, maybe a few more LANs, but I think overall if the strategy was still the same (long-term care for AoE titles) then it would keep going until a new exec at MS thought of making a new entry on a franchise with a lot of goodwill. Basically, a matter of time before an...- Adico

Is ketchup salty?
You might be mistaking the generally tart flavor of vinegar? lots of ketchup use vinegar as part of their recipe and I have seen people confuse tart flavors with salty when paired up with starchy foods, like fries, rice, etc.- Adico

Tournament Madness
From my experience, its likely 2 factors: 1. Any project that has money involved (even from direct donators) hardly props up in 2-3 months. usually, 4, can easily be 6 months from idea to day 1 of the event. Some events might have started last year and got around to now, others might have been...- Adico

Building a New Legacy - A Closer Look at DeMusliM's Goals and Presence in AoE IV Esports | Team Liquid
I made it thinking of 1v1, by my understanding that would make WCG 2001 the last major LAN with a Korean player in the top 8. Fair enough tho, I'll send over the correction to my editor to clarify the 1v1 part. It's mostly in the context of AoE4 since he had to learn the new meta rather...- Adico

Hello everyone, I had the pleasure to write again for Team Liquid. This time it's an interview with the team's first-ever Age of Empires signing, former SC2 pro and caster; DeMusliM. It's mainly about his time before coming to AoE IV, his rapid ascent to the top of the ranks in that scene, his...- Adico

Mentioning of players not playing AoE4 beta
Why all this cloak and dagger nonsense of "who wrote this?" and "what were their intentions?" it's not the inside of the Pyramid of Giza mates.

Hera to stop streaming AoE2/4, decides to focus on League of Legends

Current Situation on Aoe4 and Aoe2
Let's split this into two issues. 1. Paying someone to admin an event. 2. Global economics. For point 1, point 2 is irrelevant. Pay what the work is worth, discuss how much you get paid for it with your peers, and hold people/groups/companies accountable when they try to undercut people. If I...- Adico

Current Situation on Aoe4 and Aoe2
Yes, but that is on the consumer side, streamers get paid the % of each sub based on the viewer country, not the streamer. Like, if I streamed, and all my subs were from the US, I would be getting cut from the full US sub cost, not an adjusted number based on where I live.- Adico

By that same logic, streamers should have a capped/adjusted income depending on where they live. You know, since they don't need to be paid what their work is actually worth, just paid an adjusted sum based on where they live. Think about the service being offered, would my work be any...- Adico

You were already on my ignore list, so this one flew past me, but I just have to jump in at this.
