Today I ran into FreeAge - an engine re-implementation for Age of empires 2 Definitive. This project made fast progress to bring multiplayer model working top notch though It lacks of a few features such as limited of hotkeys, villagers must re-assigned after building and a few more.
In the video above I explained how to create a lobby, join an existing lobby and ran a FreeAge demo using AoE2 DE assets. The performance seemed exceptional, smooth and low memory consumption..
This is probably where VOOBLY could make a comeback and compete with DE ranked queue as soon as FreeAge is done ofc.
