I couldn't see it anywhere, but is it to be played on 5.1 or the (far superior) 5.2 open beta??
If the players both agree then a streamer (either me or someone else) can join their game as a spectator. Otherwise anyone is free to download the recs when the players post them and cast them. I do plan on casting every single game myself, but everyone is free to do so.
Are players allowed to cast their own POV?
I have some steam keys from humblebundle left that I dont care about or already have, do you want some in the price pool?
5.2 or aoeRiot

It's not looking very likely that we'll be able to make the open beta live at this time. We've internally fixed the pathfinding issues in the main branch that is going towards 5.3, but couldn't get it repaired in the 5.2a open beta despite a few attempts -- sometimes branches diverge enough to make surgery risky. We'll create a new open beta at some point in the near feature, that will contain everything -- MP performance, campaign fixes, with some pathfinding improvements (not all of them), and then the next patch will be considered a big update.
It wasn't just the pathfinding problems we ran into, we uncovered several issues inside the multiplayer performance side as well which were fixed over a couple of updates. That open beta was super valuable and allowed us to get into a stronger position overall.
afaik the pathfinding issue is mostly related to AI units getting stuck/teleporting through walls.
On Steam forums one of the dev said that path-finding issues are worse in 5.2 which is why its not going live. They have included the fixes but it will be in 5.3 . So considering this are we still going to play in 5.2?

Then it doesn't make sense to not release 5.2 but what do I know.
What's your streaming policy? I would be interested in maybe covering a few of those games as a guest streamer on the ageofempires Twitch channel.
