They’ve been a few small successful tournaments in AoE quite recently that have gone under the radar. I think it’s about time that we branch out to the wider community. I would like to ask if anyone was interested in participating in a $500 USD tournament for AoE1 that will also come with the accustomed Voobly badges and premium membership.
5 round single elimination tournament starting from the 21st of January with each round spanning over 1 week.
Each game will be played using these sets:
Map: Inland
Map Size: Large
Civilization: Free Pick
Population Limit: 200
Speed: 1.0
Reveal Map: Off
Full Tech. Tree: Off
Fixed Positions: On
Pathfinding: Medium - High
The requirements to entering the tournament are an installation of AoE & Voobly.
Time free to play to play a match every week for the next 5 weeks.
I would also like to mention that this is AoE without expansions so this does mean that there will none of the way of life features, units or civilizations present in RoR will be available in the tournament.
