What AOE Scout does

What it is
A browser-based companion for Age of Empires: player profiles, Pro Scout, a battle simulator and stats for three games, under one roof.
Who it is for
Ranked and competitive players of Age of Empires II DE, Age of Empires III DE and Age of Empires IV.
The problem it solves
You load into a match knowing nothing about the person across the map: what they usually build, how fast they age up, which civilization they favour.
Why players use it
Pro Scout answers the questions that matter in a live game: what are they making, how do they usually play, and what should I expect next?
