Game of the Year 2019 - Nominations

AoE3 Game of the Year 2019
With the end of the year in sight, it's good to review just what has happened in AoE3 history. The purpose of this thread is to highlight and commemorate some of the tense and exhilarating games we saw throughout the year. The top 5 or 6 nominations in this thread in terms of Likes will go head to head in a vote next week to crown this year's best game, and best AoE3 gamers!

To make a nomination:
1 post = 1 nomination. If you want to make several nominations, make several posts. When making a nomination, you are making it for 1 game. Your nomination should be of a game played this year (2019). If it was played late December 2018, that's fine too.

Not everyone might have seen each game, so put some effort into writing a description that explains why the nomination is so great!

Nomination Template:

Code: Select all

Games that were nominated for Strategy of the Year are also fine to be nominated for Game of the Year.

Damn, the VOD of me tower FIing sirmusket in a brit mirror is lost to Kaiser's channel.

What remains is only the final fight: https://clips.twitch.tv/TacitWealthyBorkResidentSleeper

I hope others can post their favorite sirmusket bashes though so we can give Gibson' game some competition.

Not sure if one unit combos qualify, collen.

Personally I think we also need awards for greatest comebacks or biggest throws, though it can be difficult for some to distinguish between the two.

Too bad that I don't record all my games. I once had a game in tibet with aizamk we both ended up having 0-5 vills. He won in the end but I'm not sure if it was even this year.

Outer wilds, a sci-fi story driven exploration game made by a small indie company. As unimpressive as it sounds, it was an experience that I will never forget. I went through its ~20 hour story in roughly 3 days, thats how good it was.

The game was fun for sure, however the level of play was very low for these two players.
It depends on your definition of game of the year but in Chess, a game with many mistakes, although enjoyable can't be nominated game of the year.

Exactly. For a good game you need two good opponents playing at their best, creative thinking and a close fight till the end. Games were a huge advantage is thrown away should not be nominated either.
ESOC : came for the game, stayed for the drama.
