And on top of this, there are some strategies more focused on defending, that allow you to make games go much longer, and be more buildy like you said. But since you can chose what maps you play on. In more closed maps, like black forest, you don't get rushed at all. More open maps like arabia are harder to defend so people tend to rush. This was the only one i didn't buy, only tried the demo (many times to make sure i wasn't mistaken in not liking it :/) For me it ruined a lot of the fun i had playing the series. Fortunately, a remaster called Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition improves many aspects of the original and adds new features without losing the games essence.
The original version of this 1999s classic may seem somehow outdated. Decks, and all those funny businesses going on in the maps, don't belong in this game in my opinion. Age of Empires II: Age of Kings is, without any doubt, one of the best RTS games ever released. But this is about the only negative of this game.īest: units (does anyone remember the phalanx and the chariots? really awesome units!), sounds (this was where monks did use "wololo" when converting units, and god was it fun!), civilizations (those civilizations have a very big appeal for me personally) I hated the part where i had to use 6 simultneous sheep + scout to scout the map. Worst: a bit slow to get going, if you like very competitive play. Playing with your friends you can do so much crazy things.
Personaly, having played all of AoE's my preferences would be:īest: General gameplay. It had an active online community for several years until Microsoft shut down the servers, but. "Age of Empires III has sold over 2 million copies as of May 2008" Age of Empires II and The Conquerors expansion had a huge following its original release in 1999.
It took AoE3 3 years to reach that number In 3 months after its release, 2 million copies of AoE2 (Age of Kings) had been shipped. Concerning popularity, AoE2 was far more popular than AoE3.
