Voobly offers graphs and various statistics that allow you to see how you're performing in comparison to your friends, or just in general. You are also able to download matches for statistics as well as your friends matches to see how they performed. Voobly also has clan support as well as live streaming so you can record your own matches and show off what you can do with your friends that aren't in your lobby with you.
Like any real-time strategy game, Age of Empires II is best experienced online. Due to the lack of an official matchmaking service, however, several additional configurations to your game and your connection are necessary before you can play online. If you intend to play against public (anonymous) opponents, you will need, at a minimum, patch 1.0c, a multiplayer client, and an internet connection which allows AoK data traffic. Alternatively, you can purchase the game on Steam.
An unofficial patch for Age of Kings, the Userpatch fixes an incredible amount of bugs and enhances the game in many ways, such as widescreen support, a colour fix for Windows 7 and newer, to just name a few. Having been developed for over 3 years, it greatly increases the stability of AoK, both in single- and multiplayer. Especially if you intend to play against new AIs that require the Userpatch, then you should download it and use it for multiplayer.
On Voobly, you can select between using Userpatch 1.4 (recommended) and the old 1.0c version. No further work is required, the client will automatically update your game. On GameRanger, each player will have to manually download and install the desired Userpatch version. Everyone in the room needs the same game version to play, but due to easy and quick un-/installing, it is no problem to switch between 1.0c and the Userpatch.
After Microsoft terminated support for AoK on its MSN Zone in June 2006, Ensemble Studios declared GameSpy to be the official multiplayer service provider for AoK. The cumbersome layout of GameSpy Arcade, however, alienated many players. The fragmented community then attempted several separate projects to build a better multiplayer client. Voobly (formerly IGZones), GameRanger, and Gamepark are the three clients that have emerged as a result, although Gamepark is no longer in use. Since 04/2013, multiplayer gaming is also possible via Steam, where AoK was re-released as Age of Empires II HD.
Voobly used to be the most popular client for playing AoK online. Virtually all the features from the MSN Zone client such as ratings and friend lists are included. The interface is also very similar so transitional players should feel very comfortable with it. Additional features include clan management systems, easy reentry to launched games, and automatic cheat detection.
Interestingly enough, I did not need to fully qualify the path to Voobly.desktop. I suspect that is because it is in one of the XDG_DATA_DIRS default locations which is the /.local/share/applications/My Voobly.desktop actually calls a wrapper shell script, which I augmented to pass the parameters to voobly.exe.
For some reason, one of my voobly installations in Wine on Linux (devuan specifically) runs like a dog. While the system is indeed really old, Voobly was running smoother on it before the OS reinstall. 2ff7e9595c
