Age 2 is no doubt the better game, but I liked the campaign structure in Age 1 way more. I wish the second game had kept following civilizations rather than individuals.
I wonder what the new one is going to be like...

>Nostalgia
>Implying I'm not going to be playing this in 10 minutes
Any roll charts for this?
I need a civilisation to go.

It isn't, since I've always played the superior game.

Best AoE music, hands down.

Are you even trying man?

>William Wallace is the only available campaign.
>They all speak Irish, but coming from AoE1, for the longest time I thought it was all just made up gibberish (like in AoE1) until AoM.

>back then you could change your color with an AI so you could do COOP with a single CIV
>AOE 2 HD comes out
>can't do it anyway

shame.

Casual AoE II is best AoE II.
Fuck competitive autism.

I played AoM far more than AoE2

the game get's boring after 10 hours
you build the same buildings and cities
the maps are small and empty

>dat soundtrack
Blows my fucking mind that it has been mostly made with a fucking synthesizer, not real instruments. Fucking magic, man.

>not playing the only RTS that matters

step it up casuls

There's a hidden civ called Random

It's made by a bunch of famous people who have had nothing to do with the original games.

It's a Starcraft 2 situation and just like Starcraft 2, I'm expecting a really long development period because this is the hardest kind of project you could ever sign up for.

me on the right

tfw will never manage to get good at aoe2 even though im decent at starcraft 2

SHH HAH

If you mean multiplayer it's easy, you just have to realize if you aren't rushing you're playing wrong. If you mean vs AI, no you won't because the AI cheats like a motherfucker.

this is deep

i just love mass building rax and pouring these guys over an enemy base

game is great and i still put some hours into the hd version but i suck online. what impresses the most is their use of color. it is unmatched. it never gets outdated

it was a really fun game, he didn't believe the Goth really could overrun him

At least AoE2 campaign was leagues better than AoE3. Such a fucking letdown for it to be neither historical nor good.

I've always wanted there to be a regular village building sim that plays exactly like AoE. Thought Banished would be that but that turned out to be kinda shit.

Is it worth it to learn the competitive way? I just want to get comfy

ever tried Pharaoh?

Then don't play on had? AI will attack as soon as the blacksmith finishes making the first kitchen knife.

I miss Ensemble so fucking much. I miss RTS games so fucking much. Age of Empires and Age of Mythology were god damn masterpieces and took up so much of my teenage years.

I abhor mobas, I just want to build bases and make armies fight each other.

Underrated

Thanks user

tonight I dreamt about AoE 2 with ultra turbo raytrace graphics mod and teleporting castles that shot cannonballs

Not just nostalgia
AoE defined my childhood but it still holds up amazingly today
A game for all time

this

>not growing up with and loving both
Absolute pleb

Anyone watching hidden cup right now?
The first tournament was pretty fun

Since this seems to be the daily RTS thread: anyone play Warparty?

I bought it the other day for my switch and it's pretty average. At lest Wild Landers girl is hot.
