Hello everybody,
I used to play a bit AoE2 TC back in the later 90's, until 2001.
I've very recently discovered AoE2HD and I decided to install it and play a bit again! :twisted:
I have a couple of (probably naive for you) questions that, after a quick search over the internet I couldn't answer myself.
Thank you very much in advance for any answer.
Question 1: AoE2HD has it's own internal lobbies and ranking system. Is there a website where I can see the full ranking?
(A please where I could see who are the top 10 in the words in the ranking of AoEHD2). In the old days the ZONE had such a website where Koven was clearly listed number 1. But scrolling (for a few houndres of pages haha) you could also find your own nickname.
PS: I know that there is also Voobly but I'm not interested in that (mainly because I use a MacBook and I managed to install on it AoE2HD but not voobly).
Question 2: I tried to download an old game (final of WCG 2001, I game I remember well) from here:
viewtopic.php?f=177&t=30407
I then tried to put this MGX file in the Saved Games directory of AoEHD2 (in Steam). But when I tried to open the game, AoE2HD gives me an error "Player 1 Read Marker failed". Note that this game was TC (1.0c).
The question the is: how can I see these old amazing games in AoEHD2 today?
Question 3: Regarding the community. I found this nice website. I wonder if this is the main centre of the AoE2 community today or there are other relevant websites to follow (for example for saved games, or for news regarding turnaments, or this type of stuff).
Question 4: This is a rather technical question. I'm using AoE2HD on the MacBoom using "PlayOnMac".
Has anybody managed to also install Voobly, the HD patch of Voobly and all the related stuff, on PlayOnMac?
Question 5: Lastly, if any italian is reading this: do you know if there is an active italian community? A website? Who is currently the N1 italian player?
Thanks!
