Aoe 3 nowadays enough skilled players?
Hi guys,
I used to play Aoe 3 at its prime, stopped shortly after TAD was released. Back in the days when ESO was at its prime with 4k+ players i used to be top 20, playing with iamgrunt, starsky, ruthless, daut, parfait, H20, Flooky ... good old times, probably there is someone who remembers them.
I found my old CD`s and wondered if it was worth to come back and play some games now and then. How many players are there in general and how many of you play the game regularly at top level?
I also remember back when ES stopped patching a fan patch came up wich everyone used - how is that nowadays? Do people use the official ES patch or is there a fan patch around?

Re: Aoe 3 nowadays enough skilled players?
There definitely are.
I stopped playing Aoe3 five years ago and now come back playing again... and amazed by the fact that new strategies and details are still being explored. So definitely recommend you to come back and play ^^

Re: Aoe 3 nowadays enough skilled players?
Well hi!
There's still a fairly large number of people still playing today: not as many as during the WCG era, of course, but it's still reasonably easy to find games at all levels of play during peak times. The ESO population ranges from about 200 on the low end to about 2,000 on the high end and. There's about 30 or so Colonel+ players active - I'm not sure about the exact number, since many top players come back to the game or go on extended leave at different points. Some of these people were around during the WCG and ASFP eras - _H2O being the most notable.
The Age Sanc FP is not used anymore but ESOC (this site) has put together a fan patch (download it from the side bar). It differs philosophically from the FP in that there are much fewer changes made in general.

Hi there!
Usually we have less than 2k people online during peak times (GMT evening), otherwise it's 1000—1500, but it can get down to a couple of hundred during unpopular activity periods.
So far we have come up with our own ESOC Patch that balances the game with little tweaks (unlike the old FP I think, which suggested more major changes) and provides players with better maps. All tournament games are played on it, as of right now we're in the RO8 of the ESOC Spring Championship 2017 with over 150 players participating and a prize pool of $1500.
Daut still plays AoC

Haha... I remember Daut joining MMC, after we lost a tournament serien of 3v3 he left to AoC and never returned back...
Anyway - 2k played - i would have never expected that. Thats not a lot less than what it was in 2007 when i last played. Well, i just ordered new copies of the game since i never owned a legal copy of TAD. See you on ESO in a few days

Re: Aoe 3 nowadays enough skilled players?
whats ur eso acc?
And I'm a player that bought aoe3 the first day it came out and played for years, then left when the game activity died, then returned around 2 years ago. I also played in one qualifier for wcg, and I would say that today's aoe3 community and overall experience is much better than it ever has been since the release of the game. There are regular streams now from skilled players and 3 season tournaments a year with current one having $1,500 USD prize pool.

GUA is an accurate representation of what it means to be a colonel in today's game.

SirCallen is an accurate representation of what it means to be a sergeant in today's game.

Welcome to the new meta, where new maps change the meta, so the super clever esoc techies respond by changing civs so that their favorite playstyles are more manageable.

Re: Aoe 3 nowadays enough skilled players?
ya @ pec, and also most new people are from steam and are very casual players that dont ever plan to play competitively. Also aoe3 actually takes quite a long time to get real good at since the game is mainly knowledge and a lot of that knowledge can only be obtained from putting yourself in those positions multiple times.

Re: Aoe 3 nowadays enough skilled players?
Additionally, it doesn't seem to be that attractive to people who look for competitive RTS games, I think the vast majority comes here for some nostalgia and childhood memories.

Re: Aoe 3 nowadays enough skilled players?
so wait, when you say that "we lost a 3v3 and then Daut left" you were in MMC?
Besides StarSky, Nightscream and Daut no one really was Top20 for a really long time and even I was German top 9 ELO for like 2 weeks in TWC, which doesnt mean anything
No I am really curious, who are you Nuki?
