Stupid question, fairly new to AoE here, but how do you save the game and exit without taking an automatic loss for the person/team who quits first? I was once so tired from playing a game into the night that I saved it, then exited, heard the loud screeching in my headset signifying I had "lost" the game versus the AI. I loaded the game the next day and won but not credited with a win since the system already recorded a loss for the game. I've only been playing for about 3 months so far.

I think Andre heard that Reubenstock would be out for a few days so he found out where he lived, drove there, broke into the basement and flipped the main breaker, then went back to his car to make sure Reubenstock was really DC'd. You'd have to admit, that would be a big brain move. All's fair in warfare.

Glad to have witnessed that game live, sad it's over. It'll leave a hole in my life.

Or maybe a timeout, if there is any on the server system, if there is maybe a random line in the code saying that the game cannot last more than X hours :D Thanks T90 for sharing that, and more globally take the time to get videos extract from both players's stream, cuz getting the content, on such a long video, might take a lot of time.

Someone needs to put this save data in a record book.

That Hussar dodging the castle arrows is true dedication.

- If this was EVE Online, someone would have had their power lines cut by now. 🤣 AOE2 players are far more chivalrous.

It's easy to miss because it's not what draws your attention at the time, but Rubenstock's monk goes down to a stray arrow from the castle at 8:47 as it's shooting at the hussar. Even Rubenstock himself doesn't catch it as it happens, but a few people in his chat do.

This is like the heat death of the universe.

At the start, everyone was well feed, and having plentiful resources. Later on, the black plague hits, and even a horse is good enough stew.

What a historical game. The longest one is the history of multiplayer RTS. It needs to go to Guinness Book of Records, it doesn't happen twice in a lifetime. I watched first 5 hours from Rubenstock POV and it was so tense, even watching the replay and knowing the result. It's a massive coincidence that Rubenstock saved a woodline until Andre was out of wood and pushed back with the extra wood from a tough spot.

Always build a trebuchet and keep it garrisoned in your castle.

This is the clearest sign I can think of that AoEII needs stalemate-rules :D

Fun fact: Finland is in the same time zone as Romania

You know, I would be interested in what it would look like if a game was actually developed around the idea of a single match lasting multiple days. Of course, players would need to be able to exit the game without resigning the match, but it would be interesting. It would be especially interesting to see what kind of gameplay mechanics such a game would have. The obvious problem would be players obsessively checking the game and going full gamer mode, so of course the mechanics would have to address that. Would be cool to see either way.

Andre fell asleep 3 times during a ranked match against Ruben and still won. What a legend!

THIS is Gaming History, you can't denie this fact. This should've been in the newspaper around the world.

This game is a modern art piece on the subjectivity of value, entitled "11 ranked points"

So it on Instagram and was waiting for that video!

can't even imagine. Last night when I was winning but didn't have enough gold to make siege, my opponent wouldn't resign, I went on tilt, lost some units to a mangonel, and ran out of gold. At that point instead of fighting a trash war I built towers and garrisoned them with all 85 villagers, went afk and made the opponent spend 35 minutes cleaning it up just to prove that my time was worth more than his. He apparently didn't know about spies either. I was surprised how long it took.

In german Warcraft 3, in the EPS no less (like german championship that offered a lot of money for the time), a player named Eric just build lots of towers, wrote "have fun" to his opponent and went afk. To this day that is one of the weirdest Esports-things that ever happened...

The fact that you can even get a match THIS close just goes to show that the AoE2 DE team do have something right... and a crapload of people to make it work ofc.

lol. You gave away intel info for both players :-D. Not that they need it. GREAT CONTENT. Thx for breathing life into AOE2 mate.

For me, it should have been a draw. I know Ruben has a different sight on this, but both cannot defeat the other one, as long as they are not afk. I think Andre was saying, that he offered Ruben a draw, but he didn't want to. IF this is true (I did NOT have confirmation), I am happy with Andre winning it.
