I know two websites aoe4world and aoe4stats both give good information but the hours of gameplay is always the average. I know that I can maybe calculate and give estimation alone but I told myself since there are several websites related to aoe4 maybe there is one that I don't know.

Especially in 4vs4 you get raided by 2-3 civs and since you dont know your team they will ignore you or don't know how to react (poor communication)

2vs2 is nice but you're playing against a duo of two players who know each other.. very well..

Time to separate group teams and solo Q players maybe or let's keep it that way so that the waiting time is not too long.

Farwell team games, until I find someone to play with 🥴

I apologize about the question but I'm curious about the time it takes to reach high ranks, I don't have a lot of time to play and I think I'm bit to slow but maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks !

I sometimes play with a friend who only plays Otto what civ/var has a good synergy with Otto.

Thanks

Thanks

Take into consideration elo difference, balance, fun... I mean the overall experience.

Thanks

Hey everyone, I made a quick video showing off a tool I’ve been working on called AOE4Scanner.

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-7zcKbLx7o

TL;DR for people who don’t want to watch:

• AOE4Scanner helps you find high-level AoE4 games that are worth studying.
• You can search for “civ mains” (players who mostly play one civilization) so you can learn from specialists with hundred of games under their belt with specific civs.
• You can filter games by civilization, map, player, Elo, recent matches, strategy, and more.
• It highlights interesting games like big MMR upsets (example: low elo player beating a pro), crazy pro matches, rare wins with weird builds, different strategies, etc.
• There’s a spoiler-light mode if you want to inspect games without immediately seeing who won.
• The main goal is to make it easier to find useful replays while they’re still available in-game.

The reason I built it is because the normal way of studying AoE4 can be pretty slow. You either check aoe4world's leaderboard manually, hope a player recently played the civ you care about, dig through match histories, or rely on Twitch games that may or may not still be available.

With this, the idea is: pick a civ, find strong players or civ mains, look at their recent games, then study what they’re actually doing in real ladder matches.

I’ve already been using it myself to find games to learn from and cast for my videos. Hopefully it will help you guys too!

By the way, I'm FULLY open to feedback and i'll continue to improve upon it, so feel free to let me know what you would add to it, remove from it, improve about it, etc...

One caveat about the app is that it currently only looks for games involving 1600+ elo players. This is because below this elo there are way too many matches to look through that may or may not be interesting enough to highlight in the app, and by limiting the amount of searched games I guarantee that we dont overload aoe4world's backend and possibly block the app entirely from using their data.

I apologize for posting about this again but after verifying the polls I have to rectify some results.

The top 5 of most versatile civs and vars are:

First Place and Winner : China (without doubt)

Second place: Byzantine (without doubt)

Third place: Zhu (some doubt)

Fourth place: KT and Japan (results are bit similar)

Fifth place: Abbassid and Russia (The vote came late , I have to add them)

To sum up the results are logic , maybe the more difficult civs to use are those that are the most versatile.

Maybe players with higher level and elo than me could explain more these results. Please note that this is not about the most powerful civs but about versatility, a civ/var could be versatile but less powerful than another one. Having fun is also important as winning.

Skill is still the most important factor !

I had to separate the polls because I can only put 6 options per thread.

I sometimes win a game and it's not registered. Last season it happened to me 5 times in both team and solo ranked.

Can someone explain to me if this is due a server error, opponent cheating.. ?

Thanks

The polls (part 1, 2 and 3) are still active but these are the clear winners (comparing to others)

These polls are made to determine the most versatile Civ/Var (efficient in all situations if used well)

Please note that since I can only create 6 options I had to create 3 parts:

Me and many other people asked for a DLC that includes a Spanish civ with related varients. However, these civs exist since many year in the other aoe games.

Viking is an interesting know culture (movies, tv shows, video games..) but the scots is new and could be a good discovery. Im relying on them in regards to hystorical accuracy . Unfortunately the dlc doesn't include a compaign.

An agressive civ vs a defensive civ is also a good idea. However, playing defensively in this game is not recommended so I expect viking to be better than the scots.

There is a free software called WARP that connects to a server. It's not exactly like VPN. Your connection becomes private and the server that you are connected to may work well with some or many multiplayer video games.

There are a lot of people who don't know it. I think it doesn't matter where you live, the server is the same with this software.

I'm not an IT expert or even close, but you can try it and see if it helps you with the ping and stability during multiplayer games.

Hope that helps :)

Edit: Name is actually Cloudflare a known free website/software. Link :https://blog.cloudflare.com/warp-for-desktop

Im not promoting their product it's free anyway.

Say whatever you want delete the game, cry... but here's why these strategies are childish and not fair:

1. Your opponent may have lower level and is not aware of this strategy (also he may be new to the game).

2. If you're doing this using Lancester and your opponent has Japan he can counter you because he has Samurai since dark age, with another civ it will be more difficult

3. You're abusing civ's strengh to get an easy win without too much effort

4. You will probably lose if you play again with same opponent or with someone who knows this strategy that you probably copied from someone else

5. You think it's funny but you're just making someone upset because he was not aware of this strategy Just grew up

Edit : Also if the game let's you play against the same player, you'll be able to really test your skills and he won't be able to win with his cheese strat

Edit 2: All your comment are important and will be taken into consideration. Please note that in all video games many people use exploits to have easy wins. In aoe4 I'm aware that you can counter these some strats but take into consideration that the devs have made several changes to the game because they figure out that some players are using some weaknesses to get easy wins.

Were you able to reach that level if you are solo queueing or it was ups and downs (I mean better have friends to play with) ? Also were you playing 2v2 or 3v3 or 4v4 ? which one of these are the most fun and more "balanced" ?

Thanks !
