aoe4-guides VS RTS_Overlay

2 - Gradually get to know a civilization (1 star difficulty recommended) and over time you will learn the others. Apply an initial opening for a while with only that civilization (aoe4guides.com) until you feel better to change. It is also good to have at hand later the bonuses, units, buildings, etc... (aoe4world.com or the tree of technologies of the game) of other civs you are going to face. With practice and without haste.

Example: Valdemar1902 added new build orders recently on youtube. The corresponding script on aoe4guides.com is present, but was hardly discoverable on the previous "long list of build orders" home page.

Along with this, I would like to share some minor yet useful updates on aoe4guides.com:

What's your opinion on this? Would it be helpful to have filter options at aoe4guides.com for e.g. nomad, empire wars, normal?

Importing a BO from any game (like what is available on aoe4world.com) is indeed limited by the fact that you cannot get the villagers allocation and action, and mainly receive lines telling you to build villagers (which is not very useful given that you always produce vils at the beginning). Therefore, I preferred collaborating with the owners of aoe4guides.com and age4builder.com to export any hand-made BO in correct format for RTS/AoE4 Overlay.

This is very nice. It is very cool addition. Impressive how fast you managed to upgrade aoe4guides.com since its launch!

RTS Overlay is a tool used to display build orders (BO) and match data for AoE2 (also available for AoE4 and SC2).

The overlay used by Morley games is RTS Overlay, see last demo here.

To download it, go here and click on DOWNLOAD HERE in the AoE2 section. The same page contains the full manual, but you can just look at the video tutorials I made here.

I am the creator of the build order tool from RTS/AoE4 Overlay (I initially designed RTS Overlay BO code and ported it to the AoE4 Overlay so that all overlay tools could be available in the same tool).

Basically, I convert all build orders from any civilization I find into a format that can be easily used with RTS_Overlay created by https://www.reddit.com/user/Crafty__Salamander. You can download the tool from here, and the export from aoe4guides.com can be imported directly into RTS_Overlay to practice the BO, with each line being used as a page to move back and forth.

If you are interested, you can download RTS Overlay. It is an app that show BOs with only manual interactions (no AI, no automatic update, so should be similar to your notebook solution).

I currently have versions for AoE2, AoE4 and SC2. See here: https://github.com/CraftySalamander/RTS_Overlay I was thinking about adapting it for Stormgate.

Hi. Unfortunately, I did not follow closely the development of age4builder. I only added a function to generate the aforementioned format. I mainly manage RTS_Overlay and the BO part of AoE4_Overlay.

Also, AoE4 is less than 1 year old and is sill heavily modified by the devs. So a good BO today might be obsolete in the next months (in contrast to my AoE2 tool where the meta is fixed and where I already did as you suggested).
