BO 1?! really- were they so short on time - looks like a poor format.

The download link is at the bottom of the post

 

[Sney]

can I look into the tech trees for the new civs somewhere?

Just found this information: http://www.forgottenempires.net/age-of- ... ions/khmer

 

[robo]

Partial copies of some of the tech trees

and if you click on the 4 civ names it gives you a look at their civ bonuses, and some information about who they are.

Is it becoming a norm now in AoE2 tournaments that in double elimination, everyone gets a second chance except the WB finalist?

The WB finalist had 1.5 extra home maps

Thanks for providing Recorded games of the Tournament. Can someone please give the AI files like BruteForce Custom AI 2.15, Logbot V2 AI & ResonanceBot 5-1c which plays Rise of the Rajas because I have non-steam version of the game & cant download the AI like BruteForce Custom AI 2.15, Logbot V2 AI & ResonanceBot 5-1c from steam. So if someone provide me the above mentioned AI, I will be grateful to him.

Thanks in Advance

I'm not sure but I don't think these AIs work with the non-HD version, but if you use userpatch there are better AIs anyway, like barbarian

Bro... I have Age of Empires II HD: Rise of the Rajas [non-Steam] which works offline & doesn't connect to steam. That is why I was requesting to get the AI available on steam for me. If you help out I will be thankful to you bro.

So this is HD: laggy record game watching, one game even in 8 parts (but in general in several..). Glad we have voobly otherwise I would quit.
