Hello,
First I would like to say that this game is the best RTS game I have ever played and I can assure you than I have been playing video games for so long. I have played AOE since 1999 and I am still enjoying RTS games.
The game-play is fun and simple.
Yet, after few games versus IA, I got bored and started playing versus real players in multiplayer. And everything went downhill, no matchmaking system, people leave the game when they want, someone must host the game and if he leaves the game will be lost, if anyone has lag everybody will suffer... So many factors made the multiplayer mode viable only versus trusted opponent which isn't easy to have.
I am guessing that it is hard to solve these problems since the game is free to play and having a game server would probably be costly, but I really wanted to share this feedback.
Anyways, thank you for this game, I know this is a free game and players shouldn't be asking for stuff like if they were ungrateful.
I really wish to see 0AD with weekly updates and a viable ranked system.
Thanks anyways
