Current Situation on Aoe4 and Aoe2

[[KoBHV]venivero]

Why is nile delta even a map on the pool? it is a custom scenario, it is always the same map and positions... CBA would be better you know.

CBA in the TG map pool would be awesome 11

I like how this thread evolved into a map discussion thread at last, when threat of AOE4 on AOE2 literally disappeared.

 

[lecracheursagacite]

Nile Delta is fun in skirmish vs. AI where you can have fun with the story of your game rather than tryharding.

aoe4 prize pools are still disproportionately higher than aoe2

aoe2:

S +A : 362k
S : 310k
A : 52k

aoe4:

S+A : 578k
S : 563k
A : 15k

Even if you look at S+A the huge disparity still remains

Yes, but this is a lag, like with fossil fuel usage and climate change. We need to wait a while for it to subside, but it will, eventually

Well both numbers are asymptotic to zero.... eventually

Meanwhile at Microsoft: I'm sure throwing another 100k for a new AOE4 tourney will make the game super popular.

I guess these numbers include the non-MS money too?

OH MY GUDNES, the first RB qualifier starts on 20th amazing settings, maps look wonderful, I cannot wait, best tournament is back baby

These are based on liquipedia list of S and A tier tournaments

 

[Progeusz]

Of course. Why would one separate non-Microsoft money when talking about Microsoft's support toward the game, right? Typical stuff 11

I take that as Yes then.

Seems there'll be some AoE4 related announcement at Gamescom (24-28th of August)

What would typically be announced at a Gamescom?
Balance changes or a tournament probably not. Should be something big which is also interesting for non-competitive players, right?

Judging by the hint (just ignore the whole actual puzzle part it's a red herring), Houseboat is going to be the standard start on all maps, both singleplayer and multiplayer

 

[SuperskinnyBLS]

Wow, I'm so excited, Aoe4 rocks!!!!!

they will announce AoE5 because AoE4 was a huge sucess

 

[Springoftheking]

Probably dlc-announcement and an attempt to revive the game.

customizable hotkeys at last!

that was always the plan
there's a contract that was agreed before the game even came out, most likely.

 

[felix.feroc]

When I heard the announcement, I kept thinking of Malibu Stacy's new hat.

Any idea what has caused this sudden surge since last Saturday? The player count very abruptly shot up.

Yeah, Taiwan got the biggest discount, but the price has been lowered in almost all countries.
