Prestige Rankings

Hey there, I made some images using the major god frame of AoM and the minor god pictures. Thus we can now speculate about what everyone of them as major god would grant to the players. Or just use the imagery as avatars, for modding or whatever. You might want to crop the images a bit, since there is some transparent space towards the borders. At the end there are just the frames with no content and cropped, if you want to put in something else.

In this guide will be explained how to setup your Extended Edition in the most optimal way to reduce lag. Step 1. Load up Age of Mythology Extended Edition. And click on the gear icon that has a red circle around it on the image below. Step 2. In the graphics options menu turn everything off. And turn Shadow quality to off as well. (Vsync does not work in EE, and it doesn't matter how good your pc is, it'll lag multiplayer games hardcore if you leave these options on.) Step 3. Turn Play in Window on(A must if you want to stream EE, and overall lags less as well.) Step 4. Make sure Unlock Camera is OFF. I know many new players like this feature but you'll be lagging the game because the game renders more units on your screen at once, and you wont be able to micro properly because its so far zoomed out.(Itll make you play worse in the long run.) And yes even if you have a good PC, do not use this feature. Edit 2020-27-4: KEEP vsync ON!! they fixed it in the latest patch, it greatly improves performance. For more ways how to reduce lag for voobly and extended edition(and any other game for PC.) go Here :

Hi, I'm bringing a way for even noob players to beat high level players. You just need to go up 4:30 and aq turma and murm. While the your army is demolishing any kind of resistance from the enemy, you should take some time to prepare mentally for all the flame you are going to get because you play oranos. Usually, when you demolish his expensive army a few times with your dirt cheap turmas, you can go on and take 3tc as there is no way they can counter it because you can just spam cheirobalista and kill everything from behind 2 barracks. Now that you have an even stronger economy than the already op oranos economy, you can go make some coffee while waiting a few minutes for enough resources to go mythic. Usually, if you're not that bad, you will still be mythic 2 or 3 minutes before your opponent reaches heroic. After that, you just need to aq units to his gold mine and build palaces everywhere on the map. With this strategy, you should be able to win a lot of players that would otherwise destroy you if you weren't playing oranos. I would say that the only downside to this strategy is the psychological factor. People will say "oranos no skill", "your god is retarded" and things like that but you can just counter them with easy comebacks like "no, oranos actually takes skill". Just don't admit that oranos actually takes 0 skill and you will make them ragequit. For me this strategy worked almost every time, i can now compete with top players even though im a mainstream noob, so everyone should try it too. Voobly needs more oranos players now than ever.

Welcome Halo Wars 2 Players, Hello fellow RTS players from both Xbox and PC! I am Hosticide, or Chris, and I welcome you to the Halo Wars 2 section of Meta Plays! Today is launch-day for a lot of exciting content, including a bunch of planned Halo Wars 2 Tournaments! I wanted to create a forum post to get things started and to get to know each other. So let's introduce ourselves! Some easy stuff to say in your posts: Your Gamertag. Your favorite/main leader(s). How long have you played the Halo Wars series? Your matchmaking experiences Something you want changed or added to Halo Wars 2 There are just a bit of topics you can add to your post if you want, or don't I'm not your parents. Here is my post below to get us started! I am Hosticide (GT: BtC Hosticide). I have played the Halo Wars series since launch day of the original Halo Wars. I entered the competitive scene on launch day of Halo Wars 2 by playing matches in Gamebattles and being a top finisher in Breaking the Clutch's first ever tournament in March 2017. Even since then I joined the staff of BtC and I have hosted countless tournaments in the community. I was one of the three main organizers and a caster for the Halo Wars Championship League for four seasons, A tournament organizer for Halo Wars Tournament Central, and now I am here as a caster and moderator for Meta Plays. My 4+ years in the Halo Wars competitive scene will give me the experience to cast here with Nakamura for these future events, and I cannot wait to see how they turn out! As for gameplay, my favorite leaders are Kinsano and Atriox. I have been a consistent Kinsano player since her release in Season 1, but recently picked up Atriox for his viability in online ladder. If I could some stuff to Halo Wars 2, I would add a forge mode and a custom games browser. These two additions would basically give the game unlimited replayability! Now that I have given you some info about me, what's up with everyone else?! ~Hosticide

I am Metalizer, gamertag: Metalizer4840 (Change your tag they said its like Discord now it doesnt show numbers .....) I played the Halo Wars campaign just before Halo Wars 2 was released. After finishing the campaign i continued with the Halo Wars 2 campaign. After that I got hooked playing deathmatch. I entered the competitive scene of Halo Wars 2 by playing a few tournaments but i usually dont compete in every tournament. I also joined the staff of EuropaHalo and I have helped hosting a few Halo Wars 2 tournaments organized by Europa Halo, mainly we focus on the FPS side though. Excited to see how Meta Plays will evolve. My favorite leaders are Cutter, Forge and Decimus. Cutter is my bread and butter If I could change some stuff to Halo Wars 2, I would remove cloacks and shields on banished bases. Recently i started playing Halo Wars 2 again after a long break. I also stream at www.twitch.tv/belgian_metalizer/ . Be warned though, expect hard hitting metal music when i play RTS games.

EE Patch 2.7 Most Complete and Correct Changelog Hi there, Unbeknownst to many people is the fact that the official changelogs are not always complete. Thus I have taken it upon myself to write my own notes which I hope are first of all more complete and also try to be clearer in some aspects. A little explanation of the format I use. The official name for Atlantean heroes would be written like this: "unit (Hero)". I do not write it like this because I prefer to not have so many () in my notes. Instead I write "Hero unit" (for example Hero Murmillo). If it says (Hero) Destroyer this means both the Hero Destroyer and the regular Destroyer. So (Shennong) Fire Lance means both the regular Fire Lance and the Shennong Fire Lance. If I say "Now provides" or "Now deals", this means that before this patch it didn't do what follows these lines. Meaning it is a brand new addition to the game. This changelog provides only the changes which are most relevant to competitive play. Things such as texture and game menu fixes that have no influence over a game are not included. If you spot any mistakes in this changelog please let me know so I can optimize this list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Balance Changes: Greek Balance Changes: Egyptian Balance Changes: Norse Balance Changes: Atlantean Balance Changes: Chinese Balance Changes: Deathmatch Balance Changes: Balance Related Bug Fixes: Most Relevant Bug Fixes: Map Changes:

Hey all, I am a 2000+ Extended Edition player by the name of clam_chowdah. I am sharing with you a good strategy for Oranos, this strategy is particularly good if you are just starting in your AoM career. This is a pretty simple guide to starting Oranos. This is solely for land maps and not for water, but it can be done on any land map. Build a granary with your starting villager then go to food (hunt>chickens>berries>goats/pigs) hunt is the best to start at Buy Hunting Dogs as soon as the granary goes up(this drastically improves how fast your villagers gather food) Next villager to food (got to bring in daaaa meat fam) Next villager to wood Next villager to gold + build a house when you get 25 gold Next villager to food (preferably a different food source for example chickens or berries or ideally another hunt patch) As soon as you get 100 wood and 100 gold build a temple with your wood villager Next villager to food Next villager to food Advance into Prometheus While upgrading to Prometheus make sure to have 3-2-2 (3 on food 2 on wood and 2 on gold) Buy Handaxe and Pickaxe at the granary As soon as you advance build a barracks and counter barracks with a gold or wood villager and then queue Prometheans, murmillo, and turma Make sure to queue villagers again and send the next one to food then gold then wood Attack with your army right away!! Keep building up an army and destroy your opponents! DON'T FORGET HOUSES!!!! Obviously there is a lot more to be said like what to do after the first 8 minutes of the match, but this is a good start if you are somewhat new and want to get exponentially better. I made a quick tutorial for all my fellow visual learners at this link if you want to watch it in action! If you want more advanced guides in the future or have any questions/comments, let me know! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/256391853

Hi Everyone, Just got into playing some Age of Mythology again as and found this site from @StrangeStrike 's YouTube videos (Great to see you playing my RMS maps - I should definitely bring you up to date on what I have!). Looks pretty cool! Will have to look into arranging some game sessions and maybe get back into some more map making (And any new utilities I think of). Bit behind on things community wise atm so if there is anything I should know or do let me know. Look forward to hearing from everyone!

Setup: Every game will be best of three elimination until the finals which will be best of five. The setup will be as follows: Team A bans a map, team B bans a map, team A picks a homemap and supremacy or conquest and if a choice is not made the default is supremacy(any map allowed excepted either banned map), team B picks a map (any map allowed that is not a banned map and supremacy/conquest), then if the score is one-one a final tie breaker will be on a random map with supremacy (if one of the two banned maps are chosen the game will be saved and re-started at random map) The maps banned are only for that series so if team A wins it can choose a new map to ban in the next round. Available Maps: Alfheim, Anatolia, Borderlands, Erebus, Ghost Lake, Highland (yes you read that correctly), Mediterranean, Megalopolis, Midgard, Oasis, Savannah, Tropical Mirage, Tundra, and Watering Hole. Rules: Each series each player is granted one veto before the two minute mark. No using cheats or cheating in any other way. No using someone else's account. No spamming pause or soundtracks (999, 11, etc.). No being rude or offensive. No twitch stream sniping (this is a huge integrity play). If anyone breaks one of these rules they will be eliminated and a replacement team will take their spot. If someone has yellow or red ping they need to fix it or will have to forfeit if the other team thinks its unplayable(mainly yellow, red is clearly unplayable). If a game disconnects it will be restored and if it can not be a new one will be played unless there was a clear lead. Partner 1 name: Partner 2 name: Partner 1 country: Partner 2 country: Do you agree to follow the rules and not cheat: Favorite Dog Name: Are you both 1600+(skill level): Team Name: If you are interested in casting, co-casting, helping set up or donating to the prize pool let me know here or msg me. Sign ups end early June and the tournament starts early/mid June and should last about a month and will not be a big time commitment (one series/about 3 games a week only, so like 2 hours a week). If you want to participate but don't have a partner say so here and I I'll find you one. Do you have what it takes to be the best tag team duo on EE!? (Steam group here: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/EESTTT/members) Thanks, clam_chowdah

Hey all, we'd like to collect a bit of feedback about Season 2 of our Age of Mythology Tournaments! This poll is intended for players only, whereas viewers will have a separate ones across other platforms.

Hi everyone, I thought it was appropriate to give you an update about our rulings and thinking around the topic of the war in Ukraine, and how this impacts players from Russia or Belarus. There recently has been a topic on RTS-Sanctuary criticising our policy, which has lead us to review our rulings, as well as to have some discussions with other tournament organizers to exchange ideas. Why This Is Even A Thing? To preface this, the simple undeniable fact is that since Russia and Belarus have invaded the Ukraine and that NATO countries have sanctioned both aggressor nations. Several corporations have pulled out of both, and all this impacts our ability to pay competitors from these countries, as they are now cut off from the SWIFT banking system, as well as PayPal, both of which we use to pay out prizes. Our Stance & Rulings Every single one of us at Meta Plays is against the war, and for what it's worth, we are calling for all aggression by Russia and Belarus to cease. We see Ukraine as the victim of unprovoked attacks. As a group, our staff has decided to go along with the sanctions. We are not looking for ways to go around the sanctions, or to hold winnings. We also don't believe that the sanctions will be lifted any time soon. We are not banning Russian or Belarusian competitors. In fact, players of these nationalities residing in other regions of the world, or having financial accounts elsewhere should have no problems collecting their prizes. I re-iterate: this is not about nationality, but residence and the physical location of financial accounts. However, winnings of players residing in Russia or Belarus that we are not able to pay out - such as in the event they and their payment methods reside in either country - will be re-purposed and paid to charities unrelated to the war. The choice of unrelated charities is so that we protect competitors residing in Russia or Belarus, as there is a slight chance that aiding a Ukraine-based charity could be seen as treason by their respective regimes. We mean no harm to innocent civilians who happen to be living in these regions. Lastly, we are introducing new rulings around player or viewer messaging that refers to supporting the war - meaning expression of approval of the atrocities committed, and encouraging further acts of violence in the conflict. Should we receive any report of one of our competitors or other members doing this on any platform whatsoever (including external ones), we will take action in the form of a permanent ban on all Meta Plays platforms for all types of activities (chatting, tournament participation, etc). Messaging targeting our staff with excessively derogatory language citing this policy is going to result in the same permanent bans. We will not tolerate abuse towards our staff, especially if it is done with the purpose of spreading pro-war messaging and propaganda. An example of this would be instances of our actions around this policy having been referred to as Nazism, racist, with comparisons to slavery (see the thread linked earlier). All involved parties already doing this are no longer welcome in our community. We do invite respectful discussion, however, even if it is critical of our stance. We can always tweak things. I can promise you this much: we will hear you out and discuss options - please do not hesitate to discuss your viewpoint in a civilized manner. What Has Changed Compared To Before? See the tweaks below: Players residing in Belarus will now be officially referred to in our rules along with those residing in Russia. We will clarify that payments are available to Russian and Belarusian citizens residing in foreign countries, or ones with access to foreign, non-sanctioned payment methods. Players sending us their payment information automatically confirm that they are the owner of the account. We will not pay out to known third parties. Meta Plays will not take responsibility for funds getting lost to third parties in the event of the account not belonging to the player. New rule: Messaging targeting our staff on any platform with excessively derogatory language, such as the recent citing of our sanction-compliant payment policy will result in a permanent ban on all Meta Plays platforms. Rule change: We will specify that the target charity of re-purposed winnings will not be related to the current conflict in Ukraine. We will clarify the language of the rulings further to avoid misunderstandings, particularly on the topic of residency mattering over nationality. Any Plans To Support Ukraine? To this end, we would like to encourage suggestions about what kind of actions we should take to actually help Ukraine. Everything so far in this post above doesn't help, but simply deals with the current realities of financial institutions. We DO want to make a contribution that will actually make a difference to war-struck Ukrainians. There are many options. We could: Host a charity tournament or event series. The "prize pool" would actually be a "charity pool" that we'd raise as a community, meaning that the money would go to charities rather than players. Have a donation goal open at all times. We'd deposit funds from this at regular intervals, such as every 200 USD for example. Have links on all our platforms to encourage visitors to donate to relevant charities. Please suggest more! We will take your feedback into account and make at least some of these happen. Thank you for reading all of this, and for understanding the complicated situation we are all in.

Hey everyone, please vote on where you would like us to run season 2 of our AoM tournaments. Ideally we'd like to see you sharing your reasoning, or your takes on pros and cons of each! We'll keep an eye on your feedback and make our announcement in January.

As the Halo Wars 2 season is coming to its conclusion in the 500$ Dawn of Decimus tournament, I thought it would be fun to see your predictions on the season's champion! Also can't go without giving @NeWYoRkLeGenD a massive shout-out for his 200$ contribution to the tournament! What a LeGenD. There's 2 different types of champion based on how you look at it. The Dawn of Decimus Tournament winner is one, and the #1 ladder finisher is the other - this may of course be the same person. Vote away! Note: the ladder champion doesn't get a prize, all prizes are tournament-based - it's all about prestige! The top 4 ladder players will be featured on the upcoming Hall of Fame page, however. Current S Ladder Sandings Are As Follows: Rockgeneration: 2225 Points Almirante: 1813 Points AAtrox: 1412 Points EoD: 736 Points Points to be won: 1366 1017 767 567 This immediately rules out EoD as the top finisher even if he wins the Dawn of Decimus event and Rockgeneration no shows. AAtrox can still take the top spot if he wins the event, and if Rock doesn't make it into the tournament's top 4. Almirante would need to win the event, with Rock needing to not make it to the finals. Win Rates in Meta Plays Tournament Series: Rock vs Almirante: 80% Rock vs AAtrox: 66.6% Almirante vs AAtrox: 83.3% Win Rates in Meta Plays Tournament Games: Rock vs Almirante: 66.6% Rock vs AAtrox: 71.4% Almirante vs AAtrox: 71.4%

Thank you for clarifying! I think a bit of consolidation would be great because it is at times hard to follow what happens where and when and who hosts it. I do hope that this site becomes sort of a "Hub" for all of the above mentioned activities/Tournaments etc. I understand. What I think would be neat is a sort of agglomerated "official" wisdom of the meta. Mainly to help mid-level players to advance their tactics. But I guess that would take many high-ranking players sitting together and debating stuff (Example: Civ X is mostly better against Civ Y on map Z if you use godpower A at time B or something like that) and even then a consensus on certain topics may not be reached. Since i don't consider myself an expert I don't see myself beeing part of a group that could do this (an expert panel of sorts), but the thought of it is interesting.

I'll be ready to listen to some heavy metal Good to see you back and playing my dude.

Most of the mods go onto the steam workshop these days. We're providing the option to upload mods here too of course. AoMH still enjoys moderate activity, too.

hello everyone i am a 900 ratee player on extend addition so as u can tel i am not very god at this gam and my favrite gam mode is tiney so i am wanted chalenge a someon to a tiny dual so idk who to chalenge but i am very chalenged as u can tel. i chalenge @Chessophilusto a tiny seris, bo5, mirror gods, gods random chosen by clam and no repeat gods

They do. If memory serves it's logarithmic: I worked this one out a loooong time ago but can't remember where I saved the numbers...

Yes, you get back the % value that wasn't completed Yeah, doesnt matter who destroys the foundation The resource cost is paid in advance, but the TC needs to be built to full HP to finish, meaning it will take longer Same as normal, but they take double damage. There's nothing that would make the scarab different. There used to be a bug that tagged the wrong buildings for the destroyer, which made it not do bonus vs god power buildings. Edit: Wrong about 4, check Loggy's post below.

Yeah i love age of umpries 4 hop u ad it

Hey folks, I did an interview with 7up where we discussed the strength of China on EE and the general direction Age of Mythology is going in. I thought I should post it here in case anyone had any thoughts on what we talked about. ?

So many units are on the map in RTS games and if you are using windows 10 you'll notice lategame FPS lag(on voobly in teamgames lategame) to the point where you can't move your screen properly. Here's how to fix that. Following this guide will greatly reduce lag for age of mythology the titans on voobly and age of mythology extended edition on steam. Step 1. In your windows search type this: "Windows Defender" Step 2. Navigate to the red circle with the number 1 on the image below.(Virus and threats protection) Step 3. Navigate to Number 2 on the image below(Settings for virus and threat protection) Step 4. Turn realtime protection OFF(Image below) What realtime protection does is checking files every second for viruses, and it likes to do it a lot when you're playing games hence the heavy fps lag in the lategame in teamgames. Important note: It turns itself back on after a few days. So before playing games make sure its turned off.
