I guess many of you heard about us and our platform nC Zone already. We are an active AoE II community with an integrated and elaborated match-making system, that has been working for more than 12 years already with constant improvements to its functionality.

I read and heard a lot of complaints about the DE teamgame experience recently (no good opponents/games, cheaters/desyncer, …).

That’s why nC would like to invite you to join our community!

We accept players of (nearly) all skill levels that are looking for a good DE TG experience. The only things we expect from you are:
  • good behavior
  • basic know-how about buildorders and strategies
  • the use of teamspeak.
So let me give you a short introduction how the nC Zone works and why you should join :smile:

1) you create an account on our website and make a short post with info about your DE/voobly/HD rate:

nC Zone Activation Board

We will try to give you an accurate starting rate. The rating is very granular on our site and spreads from 5500 (TaToh) to 1000 (newbies). The rating system is dynamic and automatically follows your performance. Slight manual changes to your rating are sometimes necessary to account for a wrong starting rate/steep learning curve/long-term inactivity.

nC Zone Player Table

2) Queue up to play

After your activation you can queue on our website:

nC Zone

All types of TGs (2v2/3v3/4v4) can be drawn. Every player has the possibility to draw, but usually the coordination takes place in the integrated mChat or in teamspeak. If there are bigger rating differences you can also just wait until more players queue up.

3) Draw a game

nC Zone got complex algorithms (thanks to @nC_eru) that account for a lot of parameters to create fair teams:

  • The teams are balanced by rating to get the fairest possible split.
  • A map will be drawn from a mappool, voted on a regular basis by the community, which includes around 20 maps. Every map has a certain probability according to its popularity. (nC Zone Maps)
  • Balanced Civs are automatically drawn by the algorithm. If the difference in ratings is high, every player gets a set civ. Therefore, all civs got accurate civ ratings for all maps. The sum of player rating*civ rating will be balanced for both teams. If the difference in ratings is low, there will be four civs to choose from for each team, again balanced by the civ ratings. There are also some extra gimmicks to increase the fairness of matches (always one SO-civ on closed maps, no Indians on Bedouins/Arabia, Spanish mirror on boom maps, Viking mirror on Watermaps, …)
You can also find an overview of all games that have been played to get a feeling for the mechanics:

nC Zone Matches Played

4) Play the game

We play all games in the official DE lobby and got our own Teamspeak-Server (www.new-chapter.eu). You can find the game via lobby ("nC Zone" in its name) or get invited by other players.


Here are your benefits:

  • Find new friends!
  • Get balanced teamgames nearly every game
  • Dropped games get restored every time
  • No idiots/desyncs anymore due to full moderation of players
  • Play different maps and civs all the time
  • Team with players that are way above your skill-level and learn from them
  • Discuss the games afterwards on our board (every game creates an auto-topic)

If you got any questions just leave us a message.
You can also find more information in our community rules: nC Zone Rules

We are looking forward to increase our player base to create an even better experience.

See you soon! :inlove:
nC

As an example, if I only want to play only one single map (BF/nomad/arena) 4v4 Team Games, is it possible to do so on nCzone?

No, we have a poll though where every few months you can
distribute points to the maps (evaluate) them, the top 20 maps will be picked. Also you will be able to use 3 vetos to reduce the probability of a map that you don't want to play!

I have a small idea for implementing a matchmaking bot for Discord (or in that direction for accessibility) for an alternative matchmaking system, probably nice to do it together with you guys? Do you have discord? @nC_eru


Regarding:

[POLL] Solution to the Alt-F4 Epidemic

@SouFire So it finds a match without taking map preferences into account and then assigns a map afterwards?

I always thought nC was for the German speaking community because of mainly seeing German and Austrian flags on nC nicknames.

As Zbyszek said, the nC Zone is hosted by a German speaking clan and most players are German, but you're not required to speak or understand German, English is absolutely fine. We currently have a few and in the past even had quite a lot of international players and I think it works pretty good.

If you are annoyed by bad communication, unfair matchups or people ALT F4ing the queue - this is the right place for you to play amazing TGs.

Its definiately a new level compared to what DE has!

The most fun I've had playing Aoe2 in the past many years is through ncZone.. Its completely community run so you know democracy works 11.. I've had the chance to meet and play with amazing players like Tatoh, Jordan, Ganji, Kamigawa and so many others (gotta mention Havoc, my favorite teammate in nC <3). Its a really well thought out platform that allows for good matchmaking, equal skilled games and map and civ varieties that you wouldnt see on ranked ladder.

My one suggestion would be for ncZone to move to discord. It opens a lot of possibilities.. You can possibly use it to verify a player, validate Elos, share videos, gifs, images, streaming, etc.
