FAQ
We are here to help! If you have any open questions, feel free to reach out.
Is Castle Rush Play free to use?
Yes! Completely free. You can create an account, join unlimited tournaments, build your profile, and compete at no cost. You are however able to support us if you want to. Optional premium features for large event organizers may be added in the future.
Which games are supported?
We are starting off with Age of Empires II. However, support for Age of Empires IV will be added after a few weeks!
How do ladders work?
Each ladder uses a configurable point system. Players start with a base value; winning earns points and losing costs them. Values adjust based on pre-calculated win probabilities, so beating a higher-ranked player rewards you more.
What are match lobbies?
Match lobbies are essential rooms for the participants of a match to chat, configure and ultimately face each other.
What is the Clash series?
The Clash series is a weekly tournament series. Every supported game has a varied amount of tournaments ran weekly.
Do you have a Discord server?
Yes! If you have any other questions, want to meet others, get players for tournaments: Feel free to join us and the rest of the community! Discord Server
