He''s right though. Discussing AoE3 is kinda moot considering there hasn''t been new patches or content in 6~ years.

Or maybe it's just moot to you guys because you don't actually play the game. It's not moot to us, the meta is still evolving in a big way the community is growing and we're in the semi-finals of a tournament...

I don't get that. How can the 'meta' (I hate that word) keep evolving if no new content has been added so far?
Sure people have different styles - but the concepts shouldn't change.
And tournaments always start and finish...
Eh, I guess the community isn't dead (most certainly it's not growing either), but I feel there's just not much left to be said about the game.

What it comes down to is an RTS with 14 unique civs will never be fully figured out. And while people are finding new ways to play that counter the current way to play (which they are), the meta will keep evolving.

The european civs aren't even that unique. It's the native and asian civs that mess up the balance.

But it would be easier to balance them with a patch when there are only a few other civs.

I'll go with the second option and just tell whatever I want, which is my AoE story.

I've been playing the series since AoE1 and I've been playing a lot. However, I only ever played against AI except a few LAN games and I will admit I'm a very bad AoE1/2 player despite how much I played.

Then AoE3 was released and finally in '08 I have joined ESO to begin playing competitively, yay! At first I played almost exclusively no-rush team games on vanilla, my favorite civs being French and Dutch. I got to Master Sergeant rank with that, but then began shifting my focus to all kinds of Scenarios. Aside from playing Scenarios a lot, I've also helped with creation of Zombies and Mercenary Kingdom by scripting a few custom triggers. Note this was all on vanilla.

Then.. I kind of had a break from AoE for like a year, only occasionally playing against my self-scripted AI. That was until a month ago when I checked out what's up with AoE3, only to find out a tournament in progress with this brand new community site. I also jumped on twitch and really enjoyed watching the tourny matches.

And that's what got me back into the game. But not just back to vanilla, I finally decided to move on towards TAD and rush games! Since then, I've been watching the streams very closely and trying to become a better player myself. I still have a lot to learn, I'm not sure if I even ever will be able to control units so damn quickly as the top players around.
I'm also still figuring out hotkeys, micro, new civs, basically everything.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next tourney now and hoping I can at least participate with my pr 21. Just being a part of it would already be a nice accomplishment for me.
