RTS Replay Reader

A replay reader for Age of empires 2 DE

The idea is simple: instead of manually watching every replay and trying to remember what went wrong, the program analyzes the replay data and gives you useful information about your gameplay.

Right now it can look at things like:

• Age-up timings
• Build timings like Barracks, Stable, Archery Range, Market, Blacksmith
• Villager queueing, including queued amounts
• Military unit production and most-used units
• Research timings and tech choices
• Player civilization detection
• Game format detection, like Random Map, Empire Wars, and Death Match
• Comparison between the selected player and opponents
• Repeated mistakes across multiple replays

I’m also working on a Replay Progress Dashboard for the full version. The goal is that you can batch analyze a folder of replays and see patterns across many games, like “you are often late to Castle Age in Random Map games” or “you delay important upgrades compared to opponents.”

The full version can also export a cleaner coaching report as a PDF, so players can save it, review it later, or send it to a coach.

I’m planning to have both:

• A free version for single replay analysis
• A paid/full version with batch analysis, progress dashboard, PDF reports, and deeper research/tech coaching

I also made a YouTube video showing the program in action:

It’s still a work in progress, but I’d love feedback from AoE2 players. What kind of replay analysis would actually help you improve? What mistakes would you want a tool like this to detect?
