Wonder Race Category for aoe2?

could have to be random map standard settings or something just thought it would be a cool idea

hmm, that's a whole lot more arbitrary than just the campaign though. Also you'd rely very heavily on the seed of the map, but I'll think about it.

Would be a nice category.

Just set it to some land map with standard 8 sheep, 2 boar, and deer patch (would say arena is the best)

All the other settings just standard, tiny map with 1 computer enemy and not allowed to steal resources from the enemy and on either normal/explored/visible vision, exclude relics

The map arena is quite equal and fair with resources and distance towards them. Since your lure boar/deer with a scout in this case, that distance doesn't matter.

We can also just create a standard map for the race with standard resources, to have it completely fair. But that removes the scouting part of the game. Don't think that really matters.

You posted 4 months ago and still nothing? That's sad because I really like this game but AoE is not speedrun friendly. This really could work. I know 99.99% runs are about to beat game ASAP but other games have custom categories as well, like Skyrim - get marriage ASAP.

In my opinion this is only way to bring some new players here.

My point of view is completely different than SiFly. Lets make this run completely based on RNG. Make standard settings, player pick standard map and civ (must be 1v1) and make run begin. No one will complain about custom maps (why no Black Forest, why wood is so far, etc.). Wonder Race is really quick, 12-13 mins real time on fast speed so you can do it over and over again.

I know some people would disagree with Wonder race on water maps or even nomad but I think it's good idea. That's gonna make run more complicated - more possible ways to do it. For people who doesn't like water maps we can make sub-categorries based on map so people can compare their times on that one specific map.

Edit: Maybe all maps is too much at the beginning but make at least all different type maps: Arabia - king of the maps Islands - pure water map with no connection to enemy BF - only one all visible map Nomad - No TC start Arena - maps with walls maybe Yuca (tons of food)
