Latest comments. When I was a big addicted fan of age 2 I used to hate company of heroes and age of empires 3. My brothers usually play those games and I was happy with my AoE 2. To be honest at this point I consider it the best RTS of all time. The infinite strategy paths and the incredible polished animations make this game a germ! I have not even touched AoE 2 in years and became an AoE 3 addict since then. The explosions, the siege operators, the celebrations, the destruction effects, the fidelity of the units to reality, the asymmetry of the civs, the cannons, the detailed wonderful spectacular ships, man why is this game so underrated?
Yeah I understand fan base and blah blah but come on, do they want an AoE 2 fan base playing it or a whole new fan base buying it? However, I crazy love AoE 3, it is just an incredible game that needs some love and recognition and whoever is playing AoE 2 should give it a try.
AoM is underrated too, but its understable, those graphics are a pain for the eyes. Cant wait to play AoM 2 with the engine of AoE 4. Maybe things changed since DE, but for me it was always mostly clear what the civs will do in certain matchups. It is naturally designed with assymetry that civs tend towards a certain playstyle. This is a bold statement.
I prefer AoE2, but there are certain areas where AoE3 does things slightly better. Also, counter system is trash, you can kill melee cav with archers without even losing an archer.
It think this is caused by more diversity among civs while in AoE2 all civs are more or less the same in comparison to AoM or AoE3. Currently I play 3 more frequently than 2 and I see 3 more polished in current state than 2 which has bad pathfinding, idle soldiers in battles… omg how is that possible, in general 2 seems to me as an archer based game now….
But honestly, 2 has bigger soul for me than 3 I grew up with 2, I spent thousands of hours in scenario creating and playing campaigns. To be fair, there were only AoE1, 2 and AoM at that point. That is indeed your opinion, as basically everything is pretty easily debatable. How could anyone prove that anyway….
If your definition of complexity is having to constantly reset your drop points closer lumber camps and find more ressources on the map, then sure, AoE2 is more complex. At the end of the day, there is nothing more true than this: strictly speaking, there is no superior game, only one that people enjoy more than another.
AoE2 is totally unbalanced for that kind of game. I remember building my Berber army of mixed cavalry and camel archers being melted by Khmers scorpions. The only play that could have saved me was a transition to Onagres , but as you know, they are extremely slow to create and would have required nearly as many to have a chance.
