If you're interested in this game at all at a pro level check out T90 on twitch. He streams pretty much all tournaments and is just genuinely a good dude.

Check him out on twitch starting November 4th. He just left Facebook and will be moving back to twitch then for the foreseeable future.

New DLC dropped for an old game?

Like they said the DE version is alive and well!

Then ten years ago we had HD edition.

We even have a pretty good competitive scene with full time pros and tournaments.

Aoe2 since the release of definitive edition in 2019 has consistently been releasing new expansions. Because it has dedicated and fairly sizable fan base.

It also got its xbox console release earlier this year.

Wild to me. Like seeing Wing Commander or Commander Keen again.

It was a pretty big remaster of the game, makes sense that it has some staying power

[–] PochoHipster@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

A lot of folks still play this avidly.

[–] username_unavailable@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

OMG, I haven't played this game regularly since highschool-ish. I tried to play online 15 years later with folks that had never quit and just got my ass handed to me.
