1.2 Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition.This is why it's preferable for a player to choose a game with a host closest to their location, if the player is not hosting a game. This is dependent on the internet connection of the host as well as other players present. Due to the games being hosted online, the experience can differ greatly than that of a singleplayer game, as delays, increased loading times and in-game lag can occur. The joining players must have the same expansions installed, otherwise they can't play those games. The host can choose which expansions will be loaded upon starting the game. The higher the rank of the opponent, the more points the player earns upon beating them. The rating increases or decreases depending on whether the player wins or loses. Depending on the settings chosen by the host, Town Centers belonging to the same team will be placed near each other.Īge of Empires II and Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition allow ranked games, where - by default - all players start off with a rating of 1600 in Steam, whereas players in Voobly (for those playing a CD version of the game) start with 1200. Once the game begins, players will be given their own Town Center (unless the map or game mode suggests otherwise) in a space on the map. Players can communicate by chatting, with the added option of customizing which players receive their messages. The maximum amount of players in the games are generally 8, except for Age of Mythology, which supports up to 12. Much like a singleplayer random map, settings such as population limit and the gametype can be chosen by the host. Most games allow filters as to allow players to find games that suit their needs. Simply viewing the game as a spectator is also an option, if the game allows it.
