You only see the games for your version of the game, ie, if you only have vanilla AoE (that means no expansions) you only see the games of vanilla AoE.
If you have TWC you no longer see the vanilla-AoE hosted games, only TWC-hosted games.
TAD also has a GB of it's own, but since it's possible to play TAD without TWC you can see which games have TWC-upgrades available marked by a small arrowhead (the TWC-tag) next to the games name.
Q: How do I get veteran skirms as the dutch? - you have to buy the upgrade in the the barracks lol it should be under the skimiser logo. -you have to be in age3 to get veteran and age 4 to get guard. After realizing they get automatically upgraded: - o right i play brits so i just guessed.....thats slighly embarrasing lol

There are several reasons for that.
Normally there's a guy in the game you're trying to join who already lags badly causing your computer to have a hard time connecting to his. Also, it could happen that there are lots of people in one room and your computer isnt fast enough to connect to all of them.
In addition, if the host of the room has added you to his pest -list you'll just get a "Host rejected"-message.
Also, sometimes some rooms glitch themselves and "freeze" meaning that even if the conditions in the room are changed (like a player leaves) it will still look to all other players as if he's still there. In that case you cant join the room, because it's simply glitched. The host will also have to restart the room.

And it depends on how your computer is set up. If you have a firewall between you and the net you need to make sure that the appropriate ports are open. This would usually be the case if you are using a router with a built in firewall.
I understand this is not a problem if you are connecting directly.
For several months I could not connect to any games on the game browser. I opened the appropriate ports and bam! I was flogged from here into next week by every noob basher in town.
