AOE-II DE How Would you Rate the Currant State of AoE2 DE?
This is just a general comment on this perception, not like specifically against you, but what limited resources? Thanks to practically mostly AoEII they have made a whole new gaming studio, a completely new game, Forgotten Empires have gone from a group of like 5 modders to a company with 70...

December LAN Announced! $100,000 Dreamhack Hannover
Regarding obvious visa issues (which has already kind of been talked about the announcement being late even before it came) kind of bold to call it "best players in the world" (unless they happen to be European) :) The prize pool... Well, it's already been mentioned, but again, I wonder why...- Black Adder

Predictions for Age of Empires 25th Anniversary event?
I wrote this before I knew about the Xbox announcement (practically it was announced already), which imo is big enough (especially for them) to be the major thing to the extent of not as much else added (and looking how they operate), but these were my random guesses: Heavy focus on AoEIV...- Black Adder

B-stream can't be at future events
Multi-hundred-thousand-dollar event, no compensation for being official streamer, and forced to be on a random other channel of someone else directly benefiting from all of that. What an offer! Great to see nothing is changing in the money ways in this community :d (Even if you consider it's...- Black Adder

Paid Skins/customization in AoE
Here we begin. As has been posted, they said there won't be microtransactions. They also said there won't be further civs. They also said all kinds of other things. With AoEIV, it looks like they might be aiming for paid campaigns looking at the free civs (unless that's still only a one-off...- Black Adder

AOE-II Is "stream-sniping" the apex of moral deviation?
The problem is this community for whatever obscure reason (well, the reason is certain interested parties promoting this point of view for personal, profitable reasons, because it's easier than to deal with reality) coasting on the waves of "nothing is wrong and never can be, everyone is cool...- Black Adder

Current Situation on Aoe4 and Aoe2
While everyone can enjoy what they want and some of the dogged efforts are unnecessary as the game simply exists and is not going anywhere and you just have to accept the consequences (not saying be happy with) of the way Microsoft is handling things which hurt everyone with both games having...- Black Adder

AOE-II DE wait what? Forgotten Empires acquired?
Hmm strange Microsoft would let them go away to different hands as supposedly franchise specialists, but they also acquired Wicked Witch and Tantalus Media, so I guess they're fine with it, and maybe interesting they don't then consider them "essential" to the franchise - that they're just...- Black Adder

Red Bull Wololo: Legacy - Official Announcement

Red Bull Wololo: Legacy - Official Announcement
Yeah the games are different enough for it to matter and mess up your muscle memory and "feel," and from the other side they are similar in some ways enough to make you make wrong decisions from the other game on automatism - it shouldn't be viable to be very top in both when you have...- Black Adder

Red Bull Wololo: Legacy - Official Announcement
Yeah it's a bit of a shame and miss on a great opportunity, not sure why MS wouldn't push for it (or well... on that note, very curious on Microsoft's involvement, could help understand), kind of sad to even just see all the games flaring on the Discord with news and III... Well, we know how it...- Black Adder

AOE-II DE New redbull Wololoo coming?
I think it was installed in like every internet café as a low-performance-needed game and since they were (maybe still are? not sure) popular, that's how it spread. And that's also how they're liking the original game.- Black Adder

Will Spring Update make AO4 finally great?
I'll wait for the results as mods could have an effect, but it feels it's too late already for a major revival, better chance will be the first DLC (and frankly I think they should've made it together, seeing the state of the game and reception after release, it would've been better to basically...- Black Adder

Why don't we have AoE2 e-sport organization?
Biggest hurdle you have to overcome is that you have to compensate the streamers/hosts you would want involved (because that is the basis of your views) at least equally as to when they would be doing these things solo - and that's a very tall order since they already are established and have...- Black Adder

NAC3 vs N4C in numbers
Interesting was how on Saturday the peak came already in the afternoon, some 10k+ on NilPferD's channel, which then fell to the 7-6k+ average for the evening (I don't believe it was spread amongst other channels casting that much, possibly a bit, but not to such a degree, Grubby possibly got...- Black Adder

That's the point, they don't - they want to just advertise, again, caring for and managing a healthy competitive, or just any community, environment looks completely differently. Or if they truly are trying, then they're doing it hilarously stupidly. -R-'s post then well exemplifies the...- Black Adder

Nili announces NC4 - $100K AoE4 LAN
Nice to see some slight shift in perception in the community over the years towards certain things, but apparently we still have ways to go. Some of the things have been said. Basic thing is to understand Microsoft sponsorship is not, and never has been, about supporting competitive play. It...- Black Adder

Animation cancelling
This has more of a story, it is a debated issue and many top players don't like it used, TheMista amongst them, but others also advocate for it, considering it skill part of the game - this was abused by MarineLorD against TheMista on Tuesday in Winter Series Semifinals, after Mista specifically...- Black Adder
