Hi I'm Podawe

Hello ESOC! I am brand new to the community and just wanted to introduce myself :)

The first time I was introduce to AOE3 was in 2006, but I never owned the game and didn't really start playing it until about 2017 when I stumbled upon one of Interjection's terrific tournament casting videos on YouTube one day when I was procrastinating studying for my finals in college. I'm generally not a big gamer but it made me nostalgic so I found the game on Steam and have been playing it casually here and there ever since; mostly on Skirmish mode.

It never even occurred to me that there would even be any multiplayer community left until I convinced a couple of my college buddies to install the game and play online with me. I was shocked that there were still so many people who play this game! I subscribed to Interjection's channel and quickly discovered ESOC! I have been blown away by how much work you have all put in to keep this game from my childhood alive!

Now with the quarantine going on, I've been more active on the game lately (it's pretty much the only video game I play), so it's great to see that there are others like me to play and talk about this old game with. I also like it because it seems that most of us are in our 20s or 30s and I don't have to put up with getting pwned by some 12 year-old like when I play Call of Duty...

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and say thank you guys for everything you've done to build and maintain this community :)

Hey Podawe, welcome to the community! These are good times for AoE3. There are a lot of people online and 'soon' Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition will be released.

More stuff for you to check out isour YouTube channel, our Twitch channel and our Discord server. We should have streams very regulary these weeks because we are running a tournament, so there should be plenty of content out there. Don't be afraid to ask strategy questions or upload your recorded games as well, we have plenty of people here who are ready to help you improve.

All of this and more information is in the New Player's Guide to AoE3, ESO, and ESOCommunity

I wonder if there's a certain someone who usually trains new players...I could have sworn it was even someone like a Prince of something, don't remember too well :geek:

Also, welcome Podawe!

First of all, hello and welcome Podaw!

Secondly, I've seen this weird Prince of Kabul thing a few times and I don't get it. Is he really offering lessons or is that a giant inside joke that I don't understand?

It's a joke. The running joke used to be that Prince's ESO is broken so you have to message him dozens of times or he won't receive your training requests.

Oh and Prince has actually done some coaching mind you. He might not be available to do it right now because of EPL.

edit: oh lol

I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.
