Are you the OpenAge author, or maybe Voobly? I've never read such detailed info on AoE's internals online. Thanks for the post.

That little bit of validation I needed for why I avoid AMD CPUs. (not entirely serious)

No, I'm quite the outsider to the community having only been involved in the game for a few years (besides as a teenager when it was released) and working alone.

The project in question --a platform for AoE2 multiplayer /w general game improvements-- is currently under development, although the core game/MP has been functional for over a year now and our little beta-testing group plays regularly.
