The first 2 invites for Golden League are on Liquipedia:
https://liquipedia.net/ageofempires/Golden_League
I think they are like the best AoE2 and AoE3 Players respectivly?
So that might draw in some more viewers from those two games at least.

i am definitely one of those people. amidst the numerous bugs, lack of ladder, weird balance direction and most importantly poor observing interface was enough for me to stop caring about the game.

it's unfortunate because like many others have said, this game has a lot of potential, but i don't think it'll ever get fulfilled.

edit: might also just be a personal thing that i'm at that age i don't feel like committing to competitive games anymore

There is also the personal getting old thing.

That said, would be nice to have another big RTS game to at least follow and watch.

I’ve checked a bit out, it does seem to have potential for sure, and thanks to those in the thread who have directed me to resources.

Was AoE4 just pushed out too early is the impression I’m getting? You get the AoE vets and other RTS fans almost by default, but balance aside if it’s missing certain features people’s enthusiasm wanes even if the base game is solid.

Halo Infinite seems to have similar problems, the core gameplay is really enjoyable, but it really needs more modes and maps.

It’s way harder to get those who aren’t hardcore committed fans back after the fact once they’ve drifted away than to keep them engaged early on, IMO anyway



Yeah it was released too early. No ranked mode, no editor, no map veto's, not fully customizable hotkeys and so on. There were basic features that should have been there at launch and has hurt the game. The no editor being one of the biggest mistakes as that is what keeps people playing. As we all know, most people don't play competitively or 1v1's, but all the casuals can do is play vs AI, campaign or play team games.


I actually liked that there was no ranked at release because balance changes in the first few weeks of a game release. But they should have treated this as a kind of pre season and have a fixed time for the first season and ladder start for poeple to look forward to

Eh, whats the harm of having a wonky unbalanced season 1? I think a ladder would have people put more scrutiny on balance. Not having it serves as more of a detriment to the game.

But the balance is still going to be bad on the next update. We've seen the patch notes, Delhi is still going to be insanely broken and balance will be wonky still. Doesn't make a difference in delaying the ranked mode when the problems will still remain (which is to be expected, balance is very hard to do and nearly impossible to achieve in a few short months).

In fact, balance is absolutely impossible with 8 civs. It could be more balanced though. Or at least each civ should have counter picks.

Are the current beta branch patch notes locked in? I thought they were subject to further change before ranked launches. Would basically just need a Delhi nerf and I'd be quite happy with balance overall.
It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.

To be fair, this feels more like a giant qualifier than the actual tournament.
Views probably going to be way higher in the groupstage

Yeah I personally find these huge bracket tournaments daunting to watch and often completely lose interest until the top ~16 is revealed.
It just dilutes the viewer experience overall. I care about the names that I know like AoE2 pros - Viper, Liereyy, Hera, Daut, Tatoh etc.
I can also watch the SC2 names like Beasty, Marinelord, Demuslim etc.

The other people just serve to dilute my viewing experience between the matches I want to see, personally.

The other thing is the runtime of the tournament... who has the time to follow 2 MONTHS worth of matches as a viewer? (From end of March, to end of May for the whole thing)
The tournaments I liked to watch the most were smaller, either 1 weekend things (FRI-SAT-SUN) like Hidden Cup organized by T90 in AoE2
or Redbull WOLOLOs that ran for ~6 days total I think.
Both had qualifiers and I didnt watch qualifiers for both, just the main event / main bracket.

Another tournament that had a horrible viewing experience because it was so long was King of the Desert with (again) MONTHS of qualifiers before the main event.

I'm just wondering if these organizers even take viewers into account while planning these tournaments out. I know you want to make them as grand, as fair and diverse and as bombastic as possible but as I viewer I am not going to plan a month or two of my life around watching your tournament play out. I can dedicate a weekend, sure. I'll buy beer and junk food and pig out for a weekend or even a whole week, but asking for any more of my attention is just plain misguided.

Depends of the tournament really, you were speaking of Hidden Cup, and I watched the entire qualifier for the remaining 8 (or 16?) spots. Some others not so much yeah. There is an over abundance of games and even if some big ones were played, they will be singled out on videos or something, so not much to miss really.
