Context

This data is Age of Empires II DE match data, one of the OG RTS video games. Data is anonymized match level data pulled from aoe2.net with some post-processing to determine match winners and to ensure data integrity. This is the backend data that powers aoestats.io.

Content

Note that due to data integrity issues this is not a comprehensive list of all matches played on the AoE II DE

The data is broken up into two files...

matches.csv

Each row in this file contains a match played between 2 or more players. Matches are categorized by map, rating, and ladder (1v1 or team).

match_players.csv

Each row contains a given player in a match. Meaning each row has a many to one relationship with those in matches.csv. You can figure out which players go with with matches based on the match column (match_players.csv) and token column (matches.csv).

Acknowledgements

This data conforms to Microsoft's Game Content Usage Rules. It would not be possible to have this data without Microsoft and I am grateful to them for creating this game and for re-energizing the AoEII scene.

I also want to thank aoe2.net who have done the dirty deed of reverse engineering the game protocols so that this data is available to developers like myself
