Sounds like a good idea!

You need about 10-15 rep before you can post a link as a link. The staff aren't going to delete your post/thread just for posting a link. That is saved for blatant spam, like "We sell black magic potion cures for all that ails you!"

An AoW3 league has been active since the launch of AoW3 and can be found on The Battlefield.com community website.

You can get ranked against other players when you play live multiplayer and PBEM (PBEM is more present though there are also a lot of tournament activity for live MP).
You can join here: http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=main
The site is in constant evolution to improve features, navigation, etc. so you can provide feedback by PM there, to improve it.

Interesting features of the site (that you cannot find just with the base game):
– statistics about the races / classes played and the winners: http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=ladderstats It will get richer as more matches are registered there
– a tool to optimize turn order for PBEM (and to choose a day and time when everyone is available for live MP)

You can join 2 players pools to express your interest for the 2 types of multiplayer and get informed when matches start (or to inform players you want to play / created matches):
– direct link to live MP player pool: http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=bfmgames&listid=41
– direct link to PBEM player pool: http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=bfmgames&listid=11

After you join, you can send a private message to all the players in the pool, to rapidly find people to play a live game.
You can also use the chat to that effect (on the site: http://www.the-battlefield.com/aow3/index.php?page=community or on the Discord group linked by DreadReapr, if you're playing live MP).
