Not competetively, no. When I first got it, and long after that, I didn't have internet access at all so the only real action I ever got was at LAN parties with other noobs and the only pro action I saw was from the replays found on this very website (which I would vehemently download at school and bring home on 3,5'' floppy).
When I finally got internets at home, it was time for WC3 so I jumped at that and didn't really look back. Only played BW casually for fun with friends after that.
Generally I love AoE but one thing is very strange for me, I mean Fallen is just better in late games. Any air army and and ground army can stop fallen insects.
Ask there and you will probably be able to find a way to play online, one way or another. If you have the EA release of the game, you can only play online using VLAN software such as hamachi, I believe. Be warned, the AoX community is not really all that vibrant, so don't expect a multitude of opponents ready to play against you.
Man, I had my physical copy sent to me from Sweden and the package seems to have gotten lost in transit :'(
(Along with a Stiga table hockey game, god damnit T_T)
What's really funny tho is that while looking for somewhere to buy it digitally I found this Korean RTS streamer who had put out a ton of AoX videos just a week ago:
dunno if you got a cracked copy eventually FA but would you be willing to play a few games through hamachi some time? kinda itching to try it out again.

I'm probably going to order it through amazon or something..... I don't like messing wtih torrents these days
Still holding out faint hope that my package will un-lose itself and arrive.
So this has been bothering me the last seven years, and since this thread is bumped...
When I played this, most people (out of a very small pool of players) were playing the bug race and they'd fast expo, and I could never figure out how to punish it or even take my own expo safely. I didn't speak their language so I couldn't even ask for advise. The only thing I could find that 'worked' was a 1 base boomerang goblin timing (beast race). What all works against a bug fast expo? With human and beast.
