Comparison
An aoestats alternative that connects the meta to your next game
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.
AoEII Assistant carries the same kind of aggregate data but pins it to your situation: win rates split by your rating bracket and the map you are on, the openings actually winning with that civ, and a scouting report on the specific player across the table.
What AoEII Assistant brings to the table
Every row below is something the app does today. We have deliberately not written a column of crosses against aoestats — their feature set is theirs to describe, it changes, and a stale comparison table helps nobody.
| 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. |
Questions
Is AoEII Assistant affiliated with aoestats?
No — separate, unaffiliated projects.
How are the civ win rates different?
They are segmented rather than pooled: by ELO bracket, by map, and by ladder (mouse-and-keyboard and controller are separate ladders with genuinely different metas).
Where do the build orders come from?
They are mined from parsed ranked replays — grouped by civ, rating and map, and published with their win rate and sample size so you can judge them.
Not affiliated. AoEII Assistant is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by aoestats. aoestats is named here only to describe how the tools differ. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.
