Connection lost?

I haven't played in awhile, and I've tried playing a bit, and today it seems like 90% of my games end with a "connection lost" - sometimes me, although more often my opponents. I never had this problem playing DE before. Do the servers just suck now? Did the "free to play" versio...

Re: code

Note that the Definitive Edition now has a free-to-play version, and the full "Base Game" is also half-off on Steam (making it $9.99 in the US) right now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/933110/Age_of_Empires_III_Definitive_Edition/ However, Steam lists Windows 10 as the minimum OS, so ...

Re: ChatGPT build orders

It's interesting to consider it had so little data to train on for this specific thing, yet it was enough to learn and store concepts like "houses increase pop limit", "hussars are good at raiding" etc. Yeah, really the only things it's getting wrong are specific costs and numbe...

ChatGPT build orders

Has anyone tried asking ChatGPT for build orders? It's... a bit entertaining, and definitely not good. It makes several basic errors about the mechanics, but tbh I am still somewhat impressed considering that AoE3 is a such a niche topic. We must not have enough good builds written here for ChatGPT ...

It's something we're working on. We are pulling in data on the backend, and need to develop the user interface to display it.

Re: Chance of humanity being mostly extinct by 2070

I didn't intend any ill will - glad to see bugs getting reported and fixed. A broken edge case is something we didn't fully consider as devs, not something that isn't intended to work.

Re: Site templating bug

Looks like it's a bug in the nested quote handling - go easy on the quote nesting next time.

It should be fixed, though. I'll leave it to you to find more edge cases.

Re: Kings of the Old World - 6000$ AOE3 Tournament

Best way would be to go to the tournament tab and then the bracket and click on each match. It will show you the MU for each game and you can download from there. Those games use to go to the recorded game search section, but I don't know if it's been updated with the latest patch yet. There you wo...

Re: WCG 2008 Finals

The out of sync is what I'd expect on the latest Steam build. I think you could likely install an older patch on top of the Steam version if you have that already - I can dig up the patch installers a bit later, I think I have them all.

Indeed, it's available on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/105450/Age_of_Empires_III_2007/ Microsoft does keep it priced at a ridiculous $39.99 however, and to be honest I don't think the patch that is on Steam is the right patch to view these recorded games, so it would require additional ...

Yes, you'll need to watch this on the correct patch of the legacy game (not the Definitive Edition).

Re: help me pls i have problem with aoe3

It sounds like you must be running the "legacy" 2005 edition.

The Definitive Edition would probably have less trouble running on your PC given that you have modern hardware. Unfortunately you just missed the Steam sale.
