Who are the big guys in the scene now? L_Clan_Chris still owning things up?
Daut went to SC2 for a short period of time, but he really never left Age of Empires, because he still thinks that it's the best game.
Best players are probably Daut, Chris, Jordan_23, TheViper, Dogao, Alive, Tim and Feage perhaps.

BlinG was one of the top players in Age of Empires 2:The Conquerors. He played it A LOT. I also used to teach him a bit and then he become better than me. We old mans get stomped by the new generation ^^

So you play Age of Kings not conquerers?

That's so great news. That's exactly why I am streaming and really branching out to other websites. Don't hesitate to ask for help here or www.aoczone.net.

What is the standard metagame nowadays?
when I played it was all about either going Huns 1v1 Arabia / GA, or any combination of proxy buildings that usually killed me straight out. Anything changed in this regard?
Thanks ^_^

1v1 Huns, Aztecs or Mayans is the standard now. Usually huns go either drush (dark age rush with 3-5 militia) or scrush (scout rush). Forwarding is rare these days, because there are only few good forwardes and people know how to defend it. In Aztecs wars it's drush and then fast castle age to Xbows. Mayans drush and then fast castle age to xbows or castle and plumed archers.
People play a lot of water maps or full random. There it's 1v1 Huns or Vikings usually.

It was really a shame that daut stopped playing SC2, i had so much expectation from him to do good being such a AoC legend.
But i guess he doesnt want to play such a competitive game anymore.
I miss the days of Daut vs Grunt... does he still play too?
|
Grunt was playing still very actively few months back, but he said he would take a break after the WCL ended. WCL was a clan/team tournament with around $10000 prize pool. Now we are eagerly waiting $15000 Land Nomad tournament.
|
O.o
Didn't know AOC was pulling such prizemoney.
When i quit following the scene, back at 2003 (perhaps, too long ago), there was only arbalet cup and nothing else i can remember. Teamleagues for pride.

How do you have AOE in Widescreen O_O
|
Fans have made patches to use AoE in widescreen. It's a must for players with modern big monitors. Although some don't need it, I do.

Its beautiful. Will tune in and so will my friends. We always have LAN parties, but it would be nice if we actually got good.

I played AOE casually all the time for years, it´s cool to see it played by a professional player =)
I really like the stream, good work!
|
Really good stream. Great visuals and even a webcam. Also top-notch commentary.
Really makes me want to play AoE2 once again. Too bad I only own Empire earths. That'll have to do. 
|
Very nice stream, thanks for the memories.
|
I think most of the prople played AOE just casually and for fun without a gameplan or build orders like we "grew up" with at sc2 so it would be awesome if you could teach us the basics of the game on your level. Do u produce workers nonstop until a certain amount? How many workers for which ressources and when do you need what. Are there certain BO´s like in SC2 that everyone knows at a certain level? I would love to see something about that!
