Extreme lag in games with chinese players

anytime i play in ranked games with more than 2-3 chinese players there are moments of extreme lag, the game will freeze 20-30 secs and then fast forward like a recorded game, if you were luring a boar ### ### #### out of luck and you lose your villager, this is completely unacceptable for a competitive game.

i have a 500mbps connection and 2.5k euro gaming pc
it never happens when there are no chinese players

after 4 years of this game you cant figure out how to optimize your servers?

I think we should introduce Tibetan civ in this game so that the AoE can be banned in China. We can not only get a new civ to play but also have better experience in ranked games.

China is an isolated third world country on internet because every data go through their borderline need to be checked by their specific department. They can’t even use google and facebook. Every online game there can only be hosted by their companies.

That’s a great way to ruin the competitive scene. MrYo is one of the current top players, and there are other prominent Chinese pros.
