AOE-II DE Auto economy is here. (xbox)

[Paint]

It's not good but xbox players have the option to more or less automate the early game and play like a 500 Elo player.

I honestly think we should have this on PC (as a option) as it lowers the difficulty for new players and is more or less useless at the 1100+ Elo level.

Spirit of the law did a good video showing how it work here.

All the worry about the AI-eco being OP were pretty overblown

Does it also give auto Eco-upgrades? This might be a buff for Nicov in tournaments then

It looks like auto reseeding and auto scouting: It's great for AI games, casual matches, and making the competitive late game less APM intensive, while keeping the competitive early game the same as before. I am looking forward to the PC version of auto economy.

There is 1550 players on ranked 1v1 ladder (consoles vs consoles, players with 10+ games). Not much, but I think this set up is more for single player. I don't know how many copies was downloaded on xbox devices.

@HappyLeaves had some pretty cool data on this

Getting into a ranked game is much faster recently. Must be all the new xbox players.
