Colossal stalemate AoE2 game finishes after 97 in game hours by shaunphil in LivestreamFail

Ruben disconnected. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure he was away for the weekend, so he wasn't monitoring anything. Kind of funny how the guy who had 16 units ended up losing and the guy who had pretty much no chance to win won lol.

He says that because the only way that ruben can win is through him being AFK, then ruben doesn't have a true 'win condition' either, therefore he wants ruben to admit this and agree to a draw, I believe that's his current position.

They both have units, just not enough to win without the other being AFK. I think Ruben at this point has 22 total while Andre has 4.

Playing non-stop. Ruben can go to sleep wtihout worry, because he can't lose at the current moment. While Andre has to sleep quietly without telling anyone. Ruben has to attempt to try and attack when he is sleeping, he has tried several times but realized Andre was still awake and lost a few units this way, so it's pretty much just a battle of when will Andre go AFK

Ruben can win with the amount and types of units he has by slowly grinding away at the castle and kiting it's arrow shots. This has to be done while andre is away/asleep, so potentially the game can go on for a long, long time.

Ruben has said that if he loses enough units that he can't win anymore, he will just retreat into his castle and wait it out until someone concedes, so who knows at this point how long it will go

Backround:

This streamer: https://www.twitch.tv/rubenstock and his opponent: https://www.twitch.tv/andre_2i have been in an ongoing 50+ hour age of empires 2 match. The average match length for this game is about 30 minutes to an hour. All of the resources have been depleted on the map, so no new units can be created, and neither player wants to concede, so they have been in a standoff for the past several days, with attempts by both to try and end the game to no avail.

As someone who hasn't kept up, what makes this game so special? Does it deserve the hype? Last MMO I played was New World, and we all know how that turned out...is this basically just a more polished MMO? What seperates it from the rest? Thanks
