My friends brought my attention to the fact that HD/Voobly pathing was very different and vills rarely ever got stuck. I first doubted that but after buying AoE2 HD and testing the pathing myself, I am convinced pathing was significantly better in the past. Can someone explain how that came to be? I have so little faith in the devs right now, at this point I feel like only a very capable AI Bugfixing algorithm will eventually be able to untangle the 20+ year old spaghetti code. Let me...

Hello everyone! I have just spent around 150 hours making a Spirit of the Law video on the megarandom map. The megarandom map is (for those that don't know) often featured in ranked rotation and is a pretty fun & interesting map to play. This video is about 15 minutes long and is concisely packed with tons of useful information! Since I spent lots of time on this, I would appreciate your feedback! If you liked it, please like and share so that other people can see it ..read more

In times where mixed map tournaments, civ drafts and perfect maps are the standard of Age of Empires II, we are going back to something which hasn't been done recently: A tournament only on Arabia (more random than the current ladder Arabia, but still a lot fairer than it used to be in AoC), and only featuring Hun Wars. YoungPanda, Sir Hellequin, sieste and Huehuecoyotl22 invite you to Master of the Huns 2024!​ Join the tournament's Discord server and register... Read more ..read more

I can offer somewhere in range of 1K euro per month, in exchange for daily streams (1 to 5 hours) . You will also need to do videos outside the stream, to talk about specific events. Most of the time will be low effort work, but you will just have to show up everyday, no matter what. And get your tasks done, no delays. If you can't stream, you can make around 500 by just making videos and sending them to me. No need to speak english well or to have a webcam, but the more languages you know... Read more ..read more

Sponsors can set the settings, but ...why continue with Empire Wars? It was offered up by the tournament organizer at the time and aoe2 elites who had the ears of Red Bull who also thought the "fast gameplay," and "reduced downtime of dark age (HAH)," could benefit from sprucing up. Empire Wars was supposed to be "the way the game was intended to be played," lots of "egresif," play. RBW states that Empire Wars is a "thrilling game mode." Who is it thrilling exactly? EW was not a panacea... Read more ..read more

A new player facing 45 civilisations to learn (and play against on ladder!) will easily freak out. Hell, i'm an old player and also freak out about the amount of stuff i'd need to learn to improve my civ knowledge. i still haven't learned properly the last DLCs... I was thinking about a rolling civilisation system, for example we could have like 32 civs in the current competitive mode (ladder, tourneys?); and those roll from time to time. When new civs come in the pool, olders come out... Read more ..read more
