First of all I know AoE4 still has a long way to go (missing custom hotkey, unclear tech tree, camera settings, civ balance etc.), and a lot of the criticisms of the game is totally justified. I'm also not trying to make distinction or categorize between, say AoE2 or AoE4 community because it's never exclusive. I'm just saying the community of those who follow or play AoE4 feels awesome.
It's actually really exciting to see players from like SC2, AoE3 and AoE2 blend together. SC players bringing out their great timing attacks, while Age players displaying their great eco proficiency. Players, content creators, viewers... People are trying to figure out the game together, learning from each other, and formulate build orders or strategies. I even saw SC players asking Hera for tips and suggestions for booming in the comments of his videos.
The community just feels really wholesome. AoE4 has a lot of problems and drawn a lot of criticisms, but you can see many of its fans defending it as well. You can tell some of them really like the game.
I'm actually really excited for the first big AoE4 tournament now. Can't wait to see and get to know all the great players (and castors) from the other RTS games, and watch them competing against some of our favourite AoE2 players!
