AOE 2? heck yea man that game is sweet.

im down for it! lets do it..

GOOGLE HANGOUTS.. lets make a group

Still waiting to get one up and going. I'm always online, just tell me when. I'm free all weekend.

When will we be doing this AOE match?

With unfortunate news, AoE Online will be closing July 2014 since Games For Windows Live is no longer being developed, updated, etc. This also affects any other games that use GFWL, like Halo 2, Dark Souls (Steam is working on a fix for this game), etc. You currently cannot purchase anything in AoE Online because of this and the official servers will close in July. Need a new free RTS around here

Hamachi or similar product for a broadcasted simulated LAN game?

AoE 2-3, sure. I just need to find mine and practice a bit.

Also I think AoE Online doesn't work at all. Refused to connect me to Windows Live servers, but connects me with Dark Souls.

I'm down for Starcraft 1/AoE/Diablo 2 LANs too if anybody is interested.

Never could get into the theme of star craft, :/

AOE or diablo sounds fine to me.

Are you using AoE2? Also any expansions or patches you have? Think we'll need the same version for LAN. Diablo expansion too?

I have aoe2 with expansion, i can have it patoched nay way we see fit, with 1.0c or the 1k population patch, all fine by me.

Diablo i think i only have the first game, not any expansion packs for it.

Let me know which patch you want to play on. It's fine for me whichever one. I'm using the expansion.

Well the current patch i am running on AOE 2 is the 1000 population mod. We can always set it to 200 if needed too, it comes with 5 new civilizations as well, and some new improved AI and map generation.

um we are not sure the reason for this but the last 2 times me and mr.wiggles tried to play AOE after about 25mins into the game it would freeze and i would crash to desktop... so i dont know whats up with AOE but if we can do this then im up for it. As for the game everything everyone has listed in this tread is good with me. I play just about anything,lol.

It could be compatibility settings or something like that. Was it just you or both?

Wiggles can you link that patch?

well actually i was the only one who crashed to desktop, everyone else just froze, which i thought was kinda odd? I dont know, we will figure this out and have a game hopefully...

Patch link: http://www.forgottenempires.net/features

it could have been network configuration as well, i had routers stacked due to lack of ports, and short cables. Who knows lol

I should be ready now for whenever, although haven't practiced at all. We might need Hamachi?

Today had a lan party at a friends place with halo 2 doing ti old school :p

Yea we more than likely need hamachi for it :/ tomorrow some time i can be on, but i think we should scheduled farther in advance to everyone can plan for the event.

I'm always online, except for past midnight EST time, so I'll be around.

AOE2 threw hamachi on say wed? like around 3pm central?

links! please! i want in on this! next day off is thursday

Made a channel for Hamachi

Network Name: Gameface101

It shouldn't need a password, but just in case, it's 'game.face', no period in between (showed the emote without it)


Swoop, I'll PM you some links.

Yep no pass word needed, im in the group, thrusday after noon, i have some stuff to do at 12 central on thursday and wont be done prolly till 4 ish.

So Thursday 4 PM central is good or still Wednesday?

Sounds good to me.

I'm trying to get in hamachi having problems with the engine, working on it, then i'll be in the hamachi lobby.

Last night Wiggles, Zanzabar, and myself played AoE2. Here's the game from my perspective. (Twitch reduced video quality by a lot for some reason, where I had it on 1080p, but somehow it all got transferred down to 360p). I had some audio commentary near the end.

Nice man! For some reason when i pvp on these types of games i kinda just forget what to do. But i really dont know if anyone can beat wiggles other than maybe 3 bots on hard. I haven't been training at all,lol. We should play again sometime. Anyone else in? @34:31 in motions vid  lol
P.S- something weird happened when the game started that rather freaked me out. I had a PowerMan5000 Cd in the disk tray and when the game started for some reason the cd started to play

I feel the same with RTS's. I had a good early game, then mid game comes around and like... I forget what to do and what would be most effective.

We can set up other games as well.

Early game is where you can't make mistakes, all about resource management and balancing villager population and keeping every last one occupied with a job. Don't let a single one take a break. Yea im down for another time to get together.

Spoiler:

I watched the video after i made that response, saying this so that i dont 'read' to be an ass in some way. I was simply sharing how i play the game.

Watched that video, lol looks like you thought me Zanzibar where on a team there :p
I attacked with retaliation against that damn horse man you sent over in the beginning of the game. Then about the same time i was in your base moving up to those towers zanzabar sent an army over to me, that's when i flooded his base like i did yours.

Man you had the worse luck with those jaguars, lol..

What game?

RTS: ANY comand and conqure game, i've played em all from the first to red alert 3/tiburium wars. My favorite is Tiberium sun firestorm expansion. Smile Company of heros is a good game, i've seriosly nearly half assed played all of them, lest everyone that i found. i was on a hunt for the best one, wacthced reviews, doesnt mean im the best at em, but i simply love rts games. Im gonna try to learn star craft a lil more if you guys wanna play that. but let's go up on a computer. Smile
