21/08/2011 – Lights, Camera,… Action!

Time for some good old fashioned Aocbox updates. The next 2 weeks I’ll add 7 new items to the box. That’s one every 2 days, and we start of with a bang! In the meanwhile I’m also working hard on the MMO extension to AoC, I put up some teaser screenshots on the Aocbox FB page too, you can check them out here.

04/08/2011 – Happy birthday, Aocbox!

Exactly 1 year ago, this site was launched, for more info and a little teaser, check out the article!

25/07/2011 – Behind the curtains

For those who are worried about Aocbox’ activity, fear not, because a lot is going on behind the curtains. The project I’m attempting to create is ambitious and maybe a bit over the top. I can only give out the concept for now: “the full AoC experience”. If you would have programming experience in Delphi or a good knowledge of the scenarios in the heavengames database. Don’t hesitate to contact me to help me out on this endeavor!

23/06/2011 – Hiring Staff

It has finally happened, we’re hiring staff to secure the future of Aocbox. Feel inspired? Take a look at the hiring staff topic!

20/06/2011 – Conquista Recorded Games!

People see the world map evolving, but wonder what’s going on behind all these movements and manoeuvres on the map. Each week we release a little “best of” pack of what happened on Conquista. You can check them out over at AocZone in the Conquista subforum.

30/05/2011 – Conquista Sign-ups open!


Sign up for Conquista today! (Sign ups will be open throughout the whole game, but we need at least one player per civ before we can start)

24/05/2011 – Conquista Preview

Check out the last button on the menu bar for a sneak preview of Aocbox next great feature ;)

08/05/2011 -YouTube

No, this is no announcement for a YouTube channel for Aocbox! You might have noticed before that in the affiliates section of this site, there’s a link to MrDanish’ youtube channel. The channel is a great source for occasional gamers and features videos of him or experts playing, giving out scenario design tips and even helping out with installation problems. With videos that go over 10000 views, you can say he reaches out. Anyways, since I appreciate his channel, I offered to make a video for him too. So behold, exclusive on MrDanish channel: the Aocbox special.

13/04/2011 -Facebook

On request, Aocbox has a page on facebook now. To what purpose you might ask? Just to show your appreciation to our hard work or to follow the latest updates. Especially handy for occasional players who like to read the novelties here but don’t visit us daily or don’t have their way with RSS feeds.

01/04/2011 -Jubilee!

A lot to share this week:

  • A new civ article and some brand new recs.
  • Civcup has revived! The ultimate chance to see 2K players play Koreans vs Aztecs in a sponsored tournament! More information on http://www.civcup.com
  • And last but not least: since last article, there have been officially 100 recs on aocbox! Jubilee and this deserves a top 10 of the current content on Aocbox.

Keep thinking the true way!

21/03/2011 -Additional Recs

This site is obviously a work in progress and thus it’s not a shame to continuously update existing articles. Since no one is going to check all articles for changes, I’ll give you an overview of the new recorded games that have been added to existing articles:

So 10 new recs! Have fun!

16/03/2011 – Badges

Ever since Aocbox started, we aimed at the regular players who were tired of seeing the same old things over and over again. But time to broaden our horizon to newer players too! You can’t think outside the box if you don’t know what exactly the box is, so to guide new players in the wonderful world of online game play, we introduce you the Aocbox Training Camp!

Features:

  • Training scenarios to teach you various aspects of the game (more to come)
  • Detailed guides for strategies and tactics (more to come)
  • Recorded game analyzer that automatically analyzes your games and gives you a badge for your achievements
  • Funky badges!

Check it out here!

11/03/2011 – In the making!

Two new recorded games today. Amazing games that should have had their place in the spotlights much earlier. But good things come to those who wait. Like next civweek for instance! You can regard these new recorded games as some sort of teaser for next week.

And for those who are curious what I’ve been brewing behind the curtains: a new feature to take aocbox to a whole new level. People with a profile can already take a sneak preview at their profile pages (or mine).

28/02/2011 – Celebration!

Proud to give you last month’s stats of aocbox! Last month we hit the record of 3000 monthly visitors, so 100 people taste aocbox goodness per day! And apparently people enjoy it too because _Fedx_ just posted the 300th comment. That calls for a celebration! Stay tuned for next civweek, which will bring us to the Americas.
