            If you just pay attention to the way people type I would say the average age of a faf player is a 30 year old millennial

                    @gnaag I'm with you don't care either much on ratings. More important is to have fun playing this great game.

                        Over 40 here, don't have the best APM but being able to read the field of battle and strategise compensates for that (on a good day!)

                              I think I'm the oldest person playing FAF. I am 82 and still enjoy playing video games. I have been playing FAF since 2013 and played Forged Alliance since it was published in 2007. I started in college playing board games that are battle simulations back in the early 1960s. We used to talk about the possibility of playing games online when the first personal computers came out. Got my first PC in 1995 and immediately stated playing some the early DOS games like DOOM, Dark Forces, Quake, etc. I even tried a few strategy games and was hooked on the Civilization series for years, including playing CivNet with friends on closed networks after work. When I tried Supreme Commander I was totally hooked on it and followed with Forged Alliance. That's when I started playing online strategy games with FA my favorite after the multiplayer version of Civilization. When FAF came out and I discovered it in 2013, I was overjoyed and have been playing it ever since.

                              BTW I'm a PhD physicist and I retired at the age of 76 after 50 years working in the field.

                                      Yeah there's quite a few 40+ FAF players, i probably know some extras not on the original list.

                                      Its one of the few RTS where speed clicking isn't so important.

                                          When the "follow players pointer" option came out, and
                                          one of the streamers cast a game with the players pointers moving about the screen.
                                          The apm of some of the players was so fast "to me", it
                                          would make me dizzy just watching.
                                          Watching pro's do their thing is an amazing thing for me to observe.
                                          Just glad most caster don't show the "pointers" any more šŸ™‚
