What if AOE3 became the new e-sport?

Post by horse_420 »

If some rich businessman who was passionate about aoe 3 decided to throw 500 000$ on a tournament and lets people prepare for a while, or just continuous big prize money tournaments and making the entire thing legit and careers be born off of aoe3.... do you think our current top players will fall off the radar and aoe3 will be taken over by koreans(in some years ofcourse)? or whatever else do you think would happen to the game ?
Question to the current pros : will you quit your current job and dedicate all your time to aoe3 and take it as a full-time job??

It would be really good and interesting if that happen, because a lot of player will come to play AOE 3 and the game won't die :D.

There already is fast mode. Would be interesting to have it in fast mode until the first age up is completed or something like that. Would cut the age 1 time to like 1-2 minutes.

Fast mode is almost too fast. If it was half way between standard and current fast mode it would be perfect

The first thing that would have to happen is you would be able to get a game in seconds within logging in. I find myself logging off a lot just because I don't want to waste time trying to actually get a game.

It would be the most awkward thing ever. I can already imagine someone losing an important match worth a few tens of thousands dollars because their units refused to attack.

Well Dave, it looks like H2o has the $50k grand prize under his belt.
That's right Bill, and he has such a superior army, there's no possible way he could screw this up.

Woah what's this, H2O just marched his entire army head in into a mass of cuirasier... Yep, totally annihilated. what's going on?
I don't know Dave, but H20 is smashing his keyboard now. He seems to be absolutely hysterical.
Hang on, ours sources In the pit are reporting his attack move hot key glitched.

That's a shame bill. Well it looks like the $50,000 grand prize will be awarded to Mr_Bramboy. Really didn't see that one coming.

No need for that. Just make it played on a server so it's like playing on lan and the game is much faster already

I think it would have to be quite a bit of money to draw any Koreans outside of grunt. Look at the RoN tourney from several years ago. Grunt was really the only Korean and the top prize there was pretty substantial.

a nice idea would be to close the forums to prevent Koreans from entering so that they don't knoe our OP strats and have to spend XXX hours figuring them out themselves! then we would stand somr chance... :hmm:

Would be nice if ES supports the E-sports and makes some changes to the general gameplay!

Lol you guys have no idea how much I've daydreamed about treaty becoming a legit e-sport, even though it's literally completely impossible (impossible for supremacy too but it's even harder to imagine for treaty).

If supremacy became an e-sport I don't think units bugging out would be an issue because all the tourney games would be played on LAN and I'm pretty sure an official patch would be released if that happened which would probably fix a lot of bugs. The problem is that with 14 civs it's impossible to achieve perfect balance, you'd only see like 4-5 civs played and even then I'm sure some people would feel cheated out of a cash tourney win because they picked into a matchup they couldn't win, and the map/treasure spawns put them at a disadvantage. It really would be the most awkward thing ever.
