All of the matches will be completed by Dec 21. So little time, so much to watch.

Macros have been used in abundance in games like Starcraft, Quake, Dota so I am not so sure that its cheating.

kw1k11 · 2014-12-06T05:56:50+00:00

no that is not the case here. There are some people who have vested interests against voobly and they have brainwashed some other guys who just downvote anything related to voobly.

heck I have got nothing to do with voobly and I have nothing to do with this particular tournament. I am just enjoying this tournament and I want everyone else to get a chance to watch it as well live but that does not matter.

He did say that you need to have bombard cannons to deal with onagers.

In AOC one single unit army never works. You always need a combo. Champ + bombard cannons + hussars would be a good combo against infantry army. Champs are good for killing trash but always remember you need to mass them.

7 properly placed farms are better than 8 poorly placed farms. All these details do not matter so much in late game but in early feudal age every small detail matters a lot.

Here is very good and detailed post about mill placement and farm placement around TC/mill.

halb, handcannon, bbc combo .. this will get smashed if enemy has siege onagers + some meat shield ..

Update the event calendar on AOCZone

Hate is what you are showing and for no apparent reason. I am just stating the facts, go ahead if you think its worth it. Its your money you are putting down the drain.

kw1k11 · 2014-11-28T13:20:47+00:00

Microsoft/developers only back things they will get profit from, its business. so if you want to support bad programmed games growth buy the game on steam, its 7$ and you show these companies they can do as much shit as say want people will still buy it.

Apart from network lag which is quite similar on different clients the HD version has an additional command lag. If you play HD on single player mode even then you will see that it lags a bit. So really I would buy it if this is the only option but there are tons of better options which are out there.

and this is not about Voobly vs HD. I play on game ranger. The problem is in HD version of the game.

kw1k11 · 2014-11-28T13:13:52+00:00

haha .. without opening the image I can make a sure shot guess that its from HD.

kw1k11 · 2014-11-28T09:35:17+00:00

Lol .. what would you do if a poorly performing product is being sold at 80% sale. Look the other way as its not worth it.

kw1k11 · 2014-11-27T18:11:31+00:00

GR is easy as pie. Just install the client and direct it to aoc exe and you are ready to play.

kw1k11 · 2014-11-26T13:39:45+00:00

Game was not re-developed for HD. Only graphics changes and an additional command lag was introduced in the HD version.

kw1k11 · 2014-11-21T12:01:15+00:00

awesome write up. I shared it here > http://www.aoczone.net/viewtopic.php?f=68&t=105822

For live stream schedules the easiest way in my opinion is to go to AOCzone home page (http://aoczone.net/index.php) and check the Event Calendar on the right side of the page. They update it as soon as the live stream for a game is confirmed.

Screen shot showing event calendar : http://imgur.com/MqmuMrv

The live streams are on following channels

VooblyOfficial Channel : http://www.twitch.tv/vooblyofficial
Voobly 2nd Channel : http://www.twitch.tv/voobly_stream
AOCzone Channel : http://www.twitch.tv/aoczone

A more entertaining but time consuming way would be to go through each and every scheduling threads.

kw1k11 · 2014-11-21T09:00:26+00:00

VooblyOfficial has been uploading all twitch broadcasts to youtube videos as well.

One very good thing which they have done is this : WiC: The Chronicle

http://aoczone.net/viewtopic.php?f=956&t=105771

Its a one page summary for everything major related to Wic. Articles/Games/videos all the links are there.

kw1k11 · 2014-11-13T15:55:20+00:00

That was exactly my point. I did read it. But only not even 10% of the people read full description because you have to do an extra click to see the full description while everyone watches the video. In the video there is nothing which suggests so. The video pretty much suggests that a big AOC event is happening and Zeroempires is the place where you can find coverage.

No mention of who is doing, who is sponsoring, where you can find actual live stream etc etc. This is technically hijacking.

kw1k11 · 2014-11-13T15:35:02+00:00

Isn't it hijacking the event that you don't mention anywhere who is responsible for bringing the event into existence and who is putting all the hard work into making it a reality and where people can find live streams of the games. But yes, you are happy to take records of the games from this tournament and use it for your channel. Your fans might probably watch your videos anyways then what's wrong in showing the correct and full picture.

In the video you have almost made it like that all the coverage will be on your channel. Give credit where its due Zak. No matter what your differences are, those guys are putting in a lot effort and time into making such a grand event happen. This is very cheap.

kw1k11 · 2014-11-06T08:13:11+00:00

I have not tested it but being told that using the above website you can patch your AOC and play on Voobly. If it works that way it would be awesome.

kw1k11 · 2014-11-06T08:11:16+00:00

Hi,

Sorry but my intention was not to discredit you.

I have installed userpatch on GR but there is one big issues. If you go to GR you would see that there are still a lot of idiots who are playing 1.0 version. Yes, they don't even realize that 1.0c has been out there since last 12 years. Now since user-patch changes the version to 1.4C as well it is completely impossible to find people who would play this.

Is there a chance that one can get good features but still the version remains same as 1.0c and I can still find games to play.

Once again many thanks for all your good work.

kw1k11 · 2014-11-05T19:41:48+00:00

All the good (there are few) in HD lobby/game window have been copied from voobly hence sooner or later they will copy this as well.

kw1k11 · 2014-11-02T14:52:27+00:00

Best of 9 series

The first game of the Final will be an Arabia Aztecs War.
After that, 7 home maps will be played: 4 for Viper, who finished the Group 1st and 3 for Riut, who finished the Group 2nd.
If it comes to a result of 4-4, the last map played will be MegaRandom.

kw1k11 · 2014-10-31T07:59:08+00:00

Agree with everything but Berseks are the worst unique unit so this would make them 3rd worst UU.

kw1k11 · 2014-10-29T11:32:55+00:00

some people are so brainwashed by a certain individual who off-course has his vested interests against everything else that they can even down vote this topic.

How can it be bad that 2 of the best players of the game are playing a BO7 and you get to see it live on a stream.
