The best games like Age of Empires in 2023

The Extended Edition has its own improvements on the original and even an expansion that introduces the Chinese pantheon. It’s already a pretty substantial update, and if it ever appears on sale for cheap, it’s a great pick for a strategy game like Age of Empires. That said, you may also wish to hold off on buying the Extended Edition, as next year, we expect to see more of Age of Mythology Retold. Much like the…

What would you think of this idea regarding the leaderboard ?

While I understand the idea and intentions it isn’t practical. Our leaderboard is a 1:1 reflection of the actual game leaderboard (which funnily enough can’t be browsed inside the game) that you can also see on ageofempires.com.

i thought i played with the real viper but it was someone spoofing his account and cheating 🙁

This happened to me last week. The devs are aware but not sure if that means it’s close to being fixed… Needless to say report it on ageofempires.com if you see it.

Curious speculation: Forgotten Empires has taken over the development of the game from Relic

Ornlu has a video with the roadmap here. (sorry at work and ageofempires.com is blocked, but Reddit & YT aren’t). You can see that Fall has “It’s somebody’s birthday isn’t it?” which could mean AoE2 (Age of Kings released 30 Sep 1999, DE released 14 Nov 2019) or AoM (released 30 Oct 2002, Titans released 30 Sep 2003). So a lot of “birthdays” that could be referenced (Most/All of AoE 3 and DLCs were also released…

The game doesn’t take my local mod. What did I do wrong?

I’m at my wit’s end here. I read the posts on both steam and ageofempires.com on how to make local mods. I made one, but the game doesn’t take. What went wrong? Is there any AOE3DE modder could spare some time to proofread my command lines?

New account doesnt appear on ageofempires.com or aoe4world stats?

I just made a new account to practice a new civ and I cant seem to find my ELO. When I search my username on ageofempires.com or aoe4world it doesn’t appear. If I search the name of someone I just played, I can view the match we just played, but it doesnt show who they played against, just a blank where elsewhere it would include the users name.

Ageofempires.com AoE4 leaderboard coded impractically?

Try searching for yourself on https://www.ageofempires.com/stats/ageiv/. I have honestly never seen this before – if anyone from the ageofempires.com team is reading this, can I please suggest that search parameters be expanded to match the logic use in Aoe2.net? In that, partial matches are returned in descending order of ELO and it’s pretty easy to find people.

No ladder when the game is released?

“When the game launches we will have multiplayer up and running. We have a quick match system… It will have an ELO rank generated for you and will match you up against people who share the same ranking. You will be able to check out that ranking at ageofempires.com so you can check where you fall in the leaderboard, keep track of your progress against other poeple… We already ran this system during closed beta…
