Hi,
I decided to improve the AOE2 HD multiplayer experience by building a new web based lobby browser that shows lobbies in real time without having to refresh the list manually. Additionally it displays the ping for each lobby. Currently ping servers are located in EU West (Ireland) and US West (Oregon).
I also implemented advanced filtering capabilities so you now can do complex filtering that cannot be done in in-game lobby.
Table layout can be modified too, you can sort columns, reorder columns and show or hide additional columns.
You can check lobby players and their stats by clicking on the row.
All that state is persisted in the browser cache, so next time you visit the site your filters and table layout will be the same.
You can join the lobby directly from the browser by clicking on the join button. Prior to joining a lobby the game has to be launched, otherwise the game will be launched but no lobby will be joined.
You can also calculated balanced teams. Read more about it here.
Please let me know if there are some additional features that could improve the experience.
