Age of Empire II, HD expansion and III are on Humble Bundle right now.

It has actually been such a long time since I played an RTS that the AI beat me the first time I booted it.
I focused on economy too much and it captured the artifacts and I couldnt fight my way to the temple in time.

There is an "enchanced" edition on Steam which has multiplayer through Steam though, but there aren't all too many people playing it unfortunately.

It is a really different experience to start in one of the later ages. I also especially like playing in the Industrial Age and preventing further age advancement. I usually just pass through the Industrial Age on my way to the Modern Age without really doing much, but it is a really cool age to be in.

>awesome ships
>cool artillery
>great looking infantry, especially as Germans and British
>dem tanks

The Enlightenment Age is also really cool. If I have a gripe with this game it is the inequality with faction bonuses and unique units. They were very generous to some nations, such as the Germans and Russians, while Jewing nations like the Greeks. I still have no idea how they decided it would be a good idea to give the Bantu A-10s and a massive population bonus.

>not giving the Chinese and Indians a similar population bonus
Other than that, the game is basically perfect and a serious contender for bumping AoE2 of the greatest RTS of all time pedestal.

>>258838706
WiC, DoW and CoH still amaze me with how good the models look that they use them for in-game cutscenes.

Resonaly certain the AI doesn't cheat on tough. Only difference between moderate and tough is that the AI is gimped in terms of playstyle. Tougher is where it starts getting resource bonuses.

Personally I kinda like the Turks, not really all that high on the nation tier list, but that bonus arty range can be real fun to play with.

It was okay.

You know what's interesting? I saw the metascores of the HD remakes of Age of Empires 2 and Age of Mythology on Steam. Both were really low I wondered what the fuck happened

Age of Mythology was fucking panned not because of the remake itself but it seemed they were complaining about the gameplay not being as good as Empires 2 and for the actual mythological aspects being "garbage"

Age of Empires 2 got bad reviews because it didn't actually "change the gameplay in any way"

Are reviewers this retarded or do people genuinely believe the gameplay and Mythology of Age of Mythology are shit?

Age of Empires 2 HD (the steam version) has latency problems, even in single player. There is input lag.
And if you shift queue actions they dont act as expected.

Like having your scout visit several points on the map, you shift click there and you expect him to move out.
In reality, he will not, as he wont do anything until you issue a regular, non-shift command.
You shift queue the points you want him to visit, then right click somewhere else to send him there and he goes there, then he continues with the shift queued path.
A different issue with shift queuing buildings, the shift part doesnt work and the builder will just stop working on the first one and go to the second.

Another issue is the increased unit counts don't really work. If you try a 2v2 game with a 500 cap it turns into a 1 fps slideshow at about 300 per player.

I got it because I wanted to do some coop games with a friend with insane map and unit count sizes but it just doesn't work.

It was one of my favorite multiplayer RTS games. I fucking loved Massive's UI and units having dynamic LOS, though personally would have preferred the Ground Control approach of having only a limited number of units you had to make do with for the whole game.

Kinda, I'm not sure if they fucked something up or if it's just going over 200 that messes with thing. We tried 2v2 against the AI and any time it got close to 300 you could feel it, map size seems to have zero effect, just the unit count.

250 would probably be ok in a 4 player setting, anything more than that would get hairy.

To be honest BR's main fault was getting released in that awkward period when WC3 utterly dominated the scene and overshadowed everything else. I would say Armies of Exigo is a much more closer take on WC3 which also got overlooked.

THIS for fucks sake. Nothing triggers my autism quite like it. Much as I love Civ IV and V I can't play either without the diverse unit mods. Is it really that fucking hard to spend a little more time on the sort of fluff that makes your game look more professional and better put together?

My all-time least favourite example of this is the Indians getting stuck with the East Asian tilesets in IV and V.

Just to prove your example about RoN it's the only game I can think of where the Persians/Indians get their own architecture.

Why are so many RTS about micro hell and actions per minute more than actual strategy?

Only RTS I've properly enjoyed in multiplayer was RUSE because it was more about unit positioning and area affecting abilities. In stuff like Warcraft, Red Alert 3, Wargame or CoH I constantly got wrecked due to not being able to change stances and activate abilities quick enough and the same was true for my friends when we tried out AoE2 multiplayer together. It always seems to be about the fastest clicker winning.

Whining aside best single player RTS campaign coming through.

Shit son, loved this game back in the day. Actually just dug up my old copy a few days ago too; I'll definitely have to rev it up when I get home from work.

I'm playing Earth 2150 as ED and I think I'm past the point where I just get buttfucked by tiny-ass moon speeders. Now I lose maybe half the usual amount of units. It feels like I'm getting so damn few resources though. I've done maybe 8 missions and I'm not even done with 1/3 of the resources I need to send. Is it possible to run out of resource deposits by the end of the game?

>>258849770
It was fun for compstomping but had awful multiplayer. The second game was somewhat less imba, but it still suffered from horrible design decisions like literally no LoS on anything, paper-mache fortifications, and superpowers and custom heroes that were fucking ridiculous. Especially when it turned out you can glitch powers between different hero classes. You know what's worse than a custom dwarf hero? A custom dwarf hero who can stealth, teleport and cast Word of Power.

gameranger and voobly are programs that make your game believe it's in a LAN, port forwarding is needed to open the ports you need to connect to other players. If they aren't forwarded you can't play, there are guides all over the internet about how you can forward ports depending on your router. However /v/ never bothered to google shit and the group ended up being tech support for all the new guys who played with us. Pretty boring for both sides, even more so when people end up being 12 and play just one game never to return again. Thus, /v/ aoe died a slow death and only a few still play the game

Best race in anything ever.

I really liked how in Rome TWs multiplayer you didn't have to have incredible amounts of micro and macro in order to win, but were instead rewarded for making a few correct decisions, and executing your strategy well. Do you know of any other strategygames out there that are like that?

This. Too many RTS games try to occupy you at all times, and don't realize how rewarding it is to just have a 2 minute standoff where all that happens is the players slowly edging toward eachother and looking for openings.

You don´t know how much I like you right now anon. I played the demo of this ages ago and I´d frogotttent abou this . I could remmber there was an elvish/o or orc-like "Forest dwellers" (or something) faction which had aswesome things such as werewolves and pixie unit that could infest enemies like a parasite to give them a debuff.

I woudn´t have remembered this game if it weren´t for you.Thank you anon.

No, but cilizations are actually differentaited now by having various bonuses For example Mayan unversities have 20% more hp, tha those of other nations, they gain tech points (for research) for converting enemy units, and their spies gain "mana" faster. Also, there are unique units for each cilization, just like In AoE II.

Forther, civilizaztion are rouped by cultural regions (Western, Estern/Asian and a third one I can´t remember) which detemine what wonders and support powers you get each age.

These are all things that weren´t in the orginal game where civiizations were basically interchageable, Plus there are new things like the territory system, weather, crowns and associated specal powes, and a kinda elaborate diplomacy system ( those war plans, hnng), so EE II definitely wasn´t dumbed down.
EEIII on ther other hand, I´ll grant you that, because that one is dumbed down so fucking much.There was a reason the series died after it came out.

I've probably played with you before. At least you aren't using a hexapod

Why do so many RTS games have the camera so close to the ground and make it unable to be moved?
