Hi again... check my re-presentation topic: viewtopic.php?f=240&t=65867
Few days ago, decided to phone some old DarkL buddies asking if someone still playing this amazing game (almost 10 years?). At 2002-2005 i was very active on forums, zone ladder and so on cause DarkL participated at RTS League tourneys (DarkL_Phoenix, DarkL_DKing and DarkL_bvirus first team... good at water maps) and i was leading clan at that time.
So, i ask an old friend if there is still a place to play AoC cause i experienced when zone died and move on to Age of Mythology for some months... then i thought my online time should end and start to do pay attention to other things (got married, started master degree and work always required my effort). But, after all this period (5 years?), AoC still lives in our memories: we cannot forgot those times, so i decided to search for it.
Again... my friend told me about Voobly (what? :lol: ) and i start to recognize some old experts (Daut, Chris, etc) still playing (unbeliveable) and, in certain way, community still here. Amazing. Hope to start playing soon.
But... the best is coming. Don't know why and how, just entered AoCZone Community and i must say you all doing a great, great job here: congrats for all admins, moderators and people who maintain AoC live. Forums are cool (remember me those BsK days), upload game engine is fantastic with all info (players and nice image maps), tourneys running (WCL7), experts of that period playing... really, seemed like i made a rewind to 2004 or 2005 and that is very cool. Good sensation.
So, as you can imagine, after this long inactive period, can someone nice tell me, in few lines, about most big differences in playing style? I downloaded few recs but my time is precious and just waiting friday/saturday to start playing/watching recs... so people still flushing like mad? 90% of arab games still huns vs huns? I remember drushes with aztecs, some early feudal mongol flushes, and all that stuff... what about micro/macro management nowadays? Playing style less/more agressive?
Sry for this bla bla bla... just trying to figure about new community things :P
Cheers!
