Watch this game, thank me later, well no need.Yeah, I agree. I honestly not even sure what is wrong with it, but yesterday gave another try, watched 2 games hera played against GiveUAnxiety and people in chat were like "wow, what a game" and stuff and I was watching and it felt like nothing is happening, both games were like 50min+. in both games there were points like sitting with armies 20min doing basically nothing.
And I don't want to sound like that game is garbage and stuff, Idk, I still feel like it's way more fun to play it than watching. Also still can't predict anything how fight will go, those siege repairements change things by tons, can't see where mangonel is shooting except which direction they are rotated towards. Also maybe that in aoe2 game pace is just faster. Like there are games which go to 50min, but in aoe2 50min games actually are 30min of real time and there is significantly less standing with army at one spot doing nothing.
Celebrating the lack of symmetry in the game is not something I would be proud of.yea you are right. A new game with 8 assymetric civs with very varied gameplay per civ with their own unique units/techs and playstyle in 15+ different maps definitely is very easy to understand. Kappa .

People played Huns in a majority of the 1v1's in the last 20 years.
Do you think it was that way because Huns just happen to fit everyone's play style perfectly?
If you enjoy watching someone sitting in his base for 30 minutes while booming on 3/4 TCs then sure, he is very enjoyable to watch! Much fun, very wow.Either way Hera is quite fun to watch
Well for everyone is different, although in ladder he often do some random stuff. But what I think I like most from him, that he whole early game reading chat and answering questions and stuff, so is half his gameplay, more of a enternainment how he speaks for meIf you enjoy watching someone sitting in his base for 30 minutes while booming on 3/4 TCs then sure, he is very enjoyable to watch!

Watch this game, thank me later, well no need.
GL.TheViper HRE vs vladthegreat RUS (aka simtom) / Lipany
game starting at around 1h:06m
Bro, thats one of the best executions I’ve seen in 20 years. I’ve already watched it several times and it’s still impressing.I struggled to parse this video, but i'm fully aware it's likely because i have no idea what is going on.
Would you be able to spare 300 characters to summarise the key events? I gathered Vipers opponent made a well executed play, and it had something to do with relics?
This is still the greatest thing i've ever seen

Also, as a general comment on the theme of the thread, I was there when the zone was shut down, and let me tell you, that really did feel like the end. This is nothing.
I find it interesting that a lot of the pro players are becoming bored with the game or find it has run out of depth...
It's just so beautiful. Like a domino effect.Bro, thats one of the best executions I’ve seen in 20 years. I’ve already watched it several times and it’s still impressing.
MBL could probably actually be a successful FIFA streamer unless there is very serious competition in his style of mild troll/rage. I suppose considering the popularity of football in Europe there probably is that competition.
and yo lost to vinch, damn u are smartNo surprise AOE4 players struggled in KoTD4.
Viper almost lost if ACCM held his composure.
Hera actually lost to Vinch
Aoe4 champion TheViper stomping Villese. Smart boy 5Head indeedNo surprise AOE4 players struggled in KoTD4.

Exactly, he will play Age of Empires II and IV probably playing where the big tournaments are. And that's nice and ok.Everyone knows where Viper will go after KoTD4
No. Some big streamers (like Lirik) were streaming the game. Despite all that, aoe4 is doing better viewership wise than aoe2 by quite a bit.I'm looking at AOE4 viewer numbers now and can't stop thinking... could there have been bots in the early days?
It would be just terrible if AoE4 doesnt have better viewers numbers than AoE2, you have the biggest streamers of AoE2 playing AoE4, have all those small communities of the SC2 retired semi pros, have Grubby playing it against the AI with 5k viewers always, have Bonjwa with 4k either, but with all of that the number of players is declining faster than I thought, if it had at least in Steam 45k -50k players average you could say: well, we have a succesful game into our RTS niche, but it is struggling even to achieve 30k in the weekend peak, I think the future of the game is having good prize tournaments next year, having its own community driven more from the SC2 and WC3 retired players than Age2 top players, and after that who knows if MS will be interested in the game anymore.No. Some big streamers (like Lirik) were streaming the game. Despite all that, aoe4 is doing better viewership wise than aoe2 by quite a bit.
I think it was because of streamers who plays game to game, you know kind of people who gets free access to all games and plays as a promotion. One of the guys i watch on youtube, played AOE4 for a week and never looked back. He naturally got 300K vieweres since he has 1m subs but when hype is dead, he got 10Ks, and end of story.I'm looking at AOE4 viewer numbers now and can't stop thinking... could there have been bots in the early days?
Hate is because they are kinda abandoning aoe2. See mbl's recent tweet. It looks like they only want to come to aoe2 if there is a tournament. If no one is playing on ladder then viewership drops, no one will host/sponsor tournament. Also, a few top players commenting they will focus aoe4 completely after kotd4 doesn't sit well with many viewers since they are literally abandoning aoe2I don't see why full-time gamers can't play and stream 2 games at a high level when I can handle 2 jobs at one time.
I mean time shouldn't be an issue for them no?
So why the hate for those playing both.
give it time. and if indeed RIP then: everything has its end. even the sun and this planet.Hate is because they are kinda abandoning aoe2. See mbl's recent tweet.

PerfectEvery Sunday number of players are highest during the week (same for aoe2 as well).
What is interesting is that this peek is consistently going down every week
