Recently got into playing AoE 2 with some friends and had a good time with it. I didn’t grow up playing it but a couple of those friends did and boy were they good at it. I think I would enjoy it more if I didnt have to constantly micromanage all of my units, as that seems to be where their experience would beat out mine as a newbie. Still had some fun game nights with it though despite getting trampled when we do a pure pvp match
Definitely one of my favorite series as a kid! I used to play it more as a city builder to be honest. AOE3 is still gorgeous, and apparently a Age of Mythology remake is about to come out
I played the 3 CD OG Age of Empires III with my brothers as a kid. It was great. We rigged up Hamachi to create a private network and manually edited some AoE config files with our Hamachi IP addresses to be able to have LAN coop sessions. Half the session was getting everything installed and working.
Now it’s even easier and we play regularly, decades later.
i remember getting age of empires ii at compusa in rhode island while i was in university and playing multiplayer with the rest of my roommates all the time. it was the best.
i already remember not being very good at conquest but loving the design aspects and being so sad when i got raided. blobcat, sad
We got AoE 1 on the computer as a demo when I was a kid. Think the CD came in a cereal box or something. Played through the same beginner campaign a bunch of times. Was fun.
AoE2 changed the game though. Absolutely amazing. The controls felt so much more fluid and the campaigns were so much fun to play though and see the story. We managed to network all the family computers and would have big family multiplayer battles against the computer (dad carried us kids though).
My brother loved Mythology and while it looked pretty I never really got into it. Something about it felt slower paced and kinda hand-holdy.
AoE3 was just weird. You had a home base that persisted through games, how is that fair? And playing cards were involved somehow? The ragdoll physics was cool though.
AoE4 is okay I guess. I participated in the beta program because I was so excited for them to produce something that might surpass AoE2 but… Naah. It just doesn’t have the right feel to it. Very pretty though. They keep coming out with new content but until it feels right (something about the way the window scrolls and zooms) I just cant enjoy it.
thank you, i appreciate the acknowledgment! I think it’s also good for me to have this very minor barrier to posting, so i don’t just mindlessly flood beehaw with every meme i see elsewhere on the internet. lol
