Restarting AoE3
Restarting AoE3
Hi guys!
I am about to restart playing AoE3 after 3 years; I'm very exited Could you please tell me
-What is the most commonly played package nowadays, vanilla, TWC or TAD?
-What kind of "extra" patch should I download? I remember that there was something like a "fan patch 1.2" back then to fix the lack of microsoft bringing out new balance fixes. But then I also noticed that there is another patch on this website. Which one should I get and isn't it still a problem that the community, small as it is, is by that divided up into nilla vs. TAD vs. TAD with extra patch users?
-Is it hard to still finde games?
Thank you and hello

Hi!
Welcome back.
1. Players mostly play TAd and nilla (nobody plays on TWC)
2.You should download EP Patch, definitely..
3. Depends on your timezone, tho you can easily find games on qs if you are ms+

Hi and welcome -PhoEniX-
1) TAD is by far the most popular. TWC is completely empty.
2) Here is the link for the ESOC patch.

If you have any issue regarding the patch, check this link http://eso-community.net/viewforum.php?f=110
3) It will be even easier now the Winter Tournament has started

Thank you guys!
"3. Depends on your timezone, tho you can easily find games on qs if you are ms+" => What is ms+ ?
And so the old fanpatch is dead, 50% play on that esoc patch and 50% play unpatched?

Re: Restarting AoE3
If you are from Europe, you will probably get games easily, but if you arent you could be free when all in Europe are busy (work, school, etc), and then the number of plays online drops and it is signically harder to find games.
ms is master sergeant (PR17+)
That means that if are PR17 and you quick search with the normal 7 PR difference, you can fight anyone up to PR24, because rarely anyone below ms plays qs and if you are lets say PR10, you can fight anyone who is qs searching and is below PR17.. If you need more answers, just ask me

people are splitted on TAD and nilla.
Players which play on TAD and are members of this forum have also EP installed. which means they are definitely atleast 300 members of this forum who play on EP, you will just need to find few friends with the same timezone as you, so you can play games on EP

Re: Restarting AoE3
how much time did it take for majority to switch to fp 1.2?

The majority never switched to ASFP1.2. This patch has far better conditions for adoption though.

To be honest the ESOC patch isn't as active as expected. Since you just started playing aoe3 again, I advise you to play on the normal patch. You can download the ESOC patch for sure, it has better maps and more balanced civs, but you honestly won't find any game at your level.
TAD is a bit more active than nilla (around 20-25% more players), TWC is empty, like 2 players online average xD
