TL;DR: We’ve made a web app to (hopefully) help newer players get into competitive AoE2. Check it out here: aoecompanion.com
Hi!
I came back to AoE after something like 15 years thanks to the release of Definitive Edition. I've been playing the game a lot and I'm super excited about this active and growing community. The future looks bright so I decided to practice and get better at the game. I found some resources online for build orders but I quickly realized there's room for improvement.
My friend Nik had this great idea of making a “companion” app that you could easily keep open on your phone or tablet, next to your PC monitor, while playing. He invited me to contribute and I really like what we've created. The app offers a few tools that will help you improve:

- Unit counters: How to counter your opponent's army composition
- Build orders: Step by step guides to the early-game, in an easy to read and mobile-friendly format
- More info on unit counters: more detailed explanations on why each unit is good vs. the other, highlighting the “super hard counters” (like halbs against elephants), a side-by-side view for unit counters and strengths in larger screens
- More build guides (dark age rush into fast castle is missing, to give a notable example) including civ-specific ones
- Key information about every map in the ranked rotation, and which civs could be best for each (and why)
- More in-depth info for each civilization (good and bad matchups, a rating for their bonuses/techs/units, etc...)
