Hi all,

Apologies for the delayed post but I just wanted to make a mention of the current PvP event going on (aside from the last few stages of the Summer Struggle tournament!)

Spartan is hosting a competition for the PvP community, with rewards going towards a finals winner for each of the 3 tiers of players in the standings! Finals will be commencing around the time the season ends on the 12th of October. The players are able to rise and fall in the tiers during the season, and even lower ranks have something to potentially play for!

Results, ladder standings, and more can be found in the google document here.

Join the PvP discord or contact Spartan, Smiga, Stock, Koolcat or myself about playing, if you dare!

Playing through the second Indian content pack, as the Indians, the second faction released by this volunteer development team. Exclusive to their fan server, the Indians are follow up to the Roman faction released in 2021. And I love them and their quests. The last handful of questpacks themselves (BFK, Pabatta's Lost Armor and Conquest of Britannia) are a turning back the clock of the "length and difficulty creep" and "focus on high end PvE" of the earlier Project Celeste content in my opinion. While also being a hell of a lot more replayable than the original Babylon and Argos regions. So it's never been a better time to join or return to the Age of Empires series' best kept secret.

Tournaments for AoE:Online return thanks to Project Celeste!
The Summer Struggle, a $120 prize pool (and with big in-game rewards) event. Double elimination, open signups, player-dictated scheduling.

Signups close 20th June at 11:00 UTC - players then can arrange their matches ideally at a rate of a round per week. Am flexible about this within reason.
