What the card shows

The current step: villagers to reach and how many go on food, wood, gold and stone.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. Ads appear only in the desktop window, never on the overlay.

Do I need Overwolf?

Yes. MetaAOE is an Overwolf app: Overwolf draws the overlay over the game and tells the app when a match starts. It runs on Windows.

Can I use it in ranked?

The overlay works in any match: the clock starts on its own when the app sees the game, or with Alt+T. MetaAOE does not touch the game: no memory reading, no injection, no automated action. It shows your build and public data from AoE4 World.

Does it work for Age of Empires II?

Yes, AoE II: DE has the same overlay, with builds from known players: AoE2 build order overlay.
