Age of Empires 2 tools and companion apps, compared
The Age of Empires II community has built a lot of good tools, and most of them do different jobs. Here is an honest map of the landscape, and where this app fits.
Side-by-side
vs AoE2 Companion
AoE2 Companion is a genuinely great piece of work and the reference tool for looking up a profile, a match or the leaderboard — it is also, openly, one of the public data sources this app reads for player and match data.
Read the comparison →vs AoE2 Insights
AoE2 Insights is a well-established stats site for looking up players, matches and civilisation numbers, and plenty of people are happy with exactly that.
Read the comparison →vs aoestats
aoestats aggregates ranked matches into civilisation statistics and does that job well — it is a good place to see how a civ is performing overall.
Read the comparison →Where AoEII Assistant fits
Most AoE2 tools answer what happened — a profile, a match, a civ's win rate. AoEII Assistant is built to answer what should I do about it: openings mined from winning ranked replays, a scouting report on the player you are about to face, your execution ranked against your own rating bracket, and a voice in your ear while the game runs.
| Capability | What it means in a game |
|---|---|
| Civ win rates by ELO and map | Segmented by rating bracket, map and ladder — not one pooled number. |
| Build orders mined from real ranked replays | Parsed from actual games, with win rate and sample size, not hand-written guides. |
| AI opponent scouting report | Reads an opponent's parsed replays and writes what to expect before you queue. |
| Skill vs playstyle profile | Percentile ranking against your own ELO bracket and input device, kept separate from style traits. |
| 3D replay viewer in the browser | Terrain, unit movement and a build-order timeline — no download. |
| Spoken live match companion | Talks to you during the game: age timings, what your opponent is likely doing. |
| Unit counters and combat simulator | Head-to-head unit maths, including civ bonuses and upgrades. |
| Live ranked map pool | Tracks the active rotation automatically as it changes in game. |
| Match notifications for followed players | Push when someone you follow starts a ranked game. |
