FAQ
Quick answers about Prostagma? stats, Tournament Rating, replays, events, build orders, accounts, and Agora.
About the site
Prostagma? is a community-built companion site for Age of Mythology: Retold. It brings together live lobbies and activity, player and god statistics, Match History, tournament coverage, replay analysis, build orders, and Agora chat.
No account is needed to browse the public site. Signing in with Steam or Xbox enables account features such as following players and sharing eligible replays with other Prostagma? users through Messages.
No. Prostagma? is an independent fan project and is not affiliated with Microsoft, World’s Edge, Forgotten Empires, Xbox Game Studios, or the official Age of Empires / Age of Mythology teams.
Matches and the meta
Statistics are built from public Retold matches and player activity observed by Prostagma?, with parsed replays supplying deeper match details when available. Coverage can lag and should not be read as a complete record of every game played.
The Stats Overview and God Stats focus on the displayed Ranked 1v1 scope, usually the current patch. Match History and player pages can show a broader set of observed public matches. AI and Arena of the Gods matches are excluded from public stats, and mirror games are excluded from win-rate calculations by default. Check the scope and filters shown on each page before comparing numbers.
A public match record can arrive before its replay is available or parsed. Basic roster and result information may therefore appear first, while build orders, timelines, and other replay-derived details appear later—or remain unavailable.
No. Match History is the history Prostagma? has observed and retained, not a claim to every match ever played. Older coverage and replay detail can be less complete, and the page’s current filters determine which retained matches are shown.
Serious tournament competition
See the current estimates on Tournament Rankings.
Tournament Rating is Prostagma?’s estimate of a player’s demonstrated strength in serious Age of Mythology: Retold tournament competition. It uses the competitive tournament record itself and is separate from ranked ladder rating, ordinary player statistics, tournament placement, prize money, and achievement totals.
Elo is a very good, simple system that updates ratings as results occur. Prostagma? has a different problem: estimating strength from a relatively small, interconnected history of tournament games. Whole-History Rating evaluates that history together, so later evidence about an opponent can improve the retrospective reading of an earlier result. For example, an early matchup can carry more meaning if that opponent later proves to be one of the strongest tournament players.
Yes. Prostagma? evaluated several approaches and compared WHR closely with original Glicko across the complete validated Retold S-tier history used for the first release: 8 tournaments, 2,932 played maps, 909 series, and 254 players. WHR passed the final validation and was selected because it produced a more defensible historical tournament-strength model while remaining competitive in chronological predictive testing. Small predictive differences were not treated as proof that one model is universally superior.
A 3–0 and a 3–2 series should not provide identical information about how closely matched two players were. Each legitimately played tournament map is therefore one rating observation. Series remain useful tournament records, but the rating uses the individual played maps.
Uncertainty shows how firmly the available tournament evidence supports an estimate. A player with 6 rated maps is naturally less established than a player with 150 maps, even if their central Tournament Ratings happen to be similar. Tournament Rankings displays that uncertainty instead of hiding it.
A rating is provisional when the player has fewer than 10 rated tournament maps or rating uncertainty above 150. Provisional does not mean weak; it means Prostagma? does not yet have enough tournament evidence to treat the estimate as firmly established.
Yes, depending on which historical view is being used. An as-known-at-the-time rating uses only the evidence available at that moment. A retrospective historical estimate uses the fuller record now available, so later information can improve how earlier opponents are understood. This never changes match results, placements, or championships; it only refines the estimate of strength.
Not primarily. Tournament Rating estimates demonstrated tournament strength. A useful rating naturally contains some predictive information, and the model was tested chronologically during validation, but exact match outcomes depend on many other factors. It is not a guaranteed forecast.
Games and competition
When a replay has been parsed successfully, its match page can show deeper information such as player summaries, age-up choices, timelines, technologies, units, and economy signals. The exact detail depends on what the replay and its game version support.
Prostagma? does not currently offer a general public replay-upload form. Replay analysis appears for observed matches when replay data can be obtained and parsed.
A download action appears when an eligible recent official replay is available. Availability can lag or expire. Signed-in users can also share an eligible replay with another Prostagma? user through Messages; the match page remains useful if the downloadable replay later becomes unavailable.
Events records tournament schedules, brackets, series, results, and placements. Tournament Rating estimates player strength from the eligible played maps across validated tournaments. A rating update does not change an event result, placement, or championship.
Chat and strategy
Agora is Prostagma?’s public live chat for Age of Mythology players. Guests can join with a display name, while signed-in messages use the account’s linked player identity when available. Messages are public, can be reported, and may be removed by moderators.
A build order is an opening plan for the early game. It usually tells you what to gather, when to build key structures, and what timing or strategic transition the opening is aiming for.
Some are beginner friendly, while others assume you already understand basic AoM mechanics. The site focuses on making each build easier to read, even when the strategy itself is advanced.
The library includes imported and curated public community resources, including the DoD build-order collection, along with reviewed community contributions. The public library separates published community contributions from the main curated archive where applicable.
The available public build-order library is uneven. Some gods have many documented openings, while others have fewer public examples. Prostagma? reflects the useful material that is available rather than filling gaps with unreviewed builds.
General public submissions are not currently open. Prostagma? can publish reviewed community contributions, but authoring, review, and publication are presently limited to users with the appropriate site permissions.
