aoe-taunt-bot

What?

This bot adds the voice lines that you know from AOE 2 chat to your Discord server. Caution: everything you see here is very experimental.

Why?

Fun.

Usage

I don't have a permanent place to host this yet, and I doubt it ever will. If someone is willing to donate a VPC or a Raspberry, I might consider though. If you're still reading, you may try your luck with below and I might be online at the time an running the bot on my computer.

Invite the bot into your Discord server: https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=926184606984708147&permissions=274881059904&scope=bot
Join a voice channel.
Type 11 in the chat.
Profit!
