The difference is that AOE4 has twice as many viewers. Not bad for game that was not even made for e-sports. | ||

Now they're permanently gone xD waga said on his stream that you can rebuild them on the spot they got sniped. What i dislike in spectator mode is that you can see if the game has ended when on delay due to the top right corner showing game length. | ||

Not bad for game that was not even made for e-sports. Sure about that? I would assume the viewer numbers for the tournament numbers are about equal. There are just more streamers streaming AoE 4 without any reference to the tournament. Which is to be expected because of how new the game is. | ||

I think that in general it is easier to make a comeback in AoE than it is in StarCraft so it's not entirely without merit. There are also fewer ways to determine your current position vs. your opponent's because of fewer scouting mechanics/units (and a bit less scouting done in the lategame overall from what I've seen, save for when in AoE2 people go mass cav harassment). | ||

It can happen in case the disparity in late game knowledge between the 2 players is huge, which is still the case like shown in + Show Spoiler + Hera vs Recon Springals, and artillery in general, should not get the bonus movespeed from mongols' towers. I also hope springals' efficiency against non artillery units is greatly reduced. Mongols already 4 0 today. | ||

I mean Reapers kill a queen slowly but they will do it eventually. But having 1000 archers and not even scratching a Ram seems ... just bad | ||

It is like 100 guys with knifes trying to take down a tank. Does not work. | ||

In AoE2 rams were very simular, in fact they had a staggering 180 ranged armor. What you needed to deal with them were melee units or mangonels. They were however also, very much slower than their AoE4 counterparts. Here they are a threat from Feudal (Age II) onwards and well into Castle Age (age III) | ||

I believe the largest stream was unrelated to the tournament. I didn't look at it closely but it was showing matches with multiple players, not 1v1, and it ended before the finals. E: It was a french streamer named "ZeratoR". | ||

Yeah he is the biggest "twitcher" in France and he had a showmatch going on at Grand Rex, Paris. Mlord was supposed to be there but couldn't because of DH in sc2 and Genesis in AoE4. There were SC2 french streamers Koka and Funka participating though. Also since the game is brand new, there is the novelty factor that brings viewers, I doubt it will be the same in a few months | ||

P.S: Is there not going to be a dedicated forum for AoE4 on tl? The game is booming. | ||
