He said RTS not watered down rock paper scissors.

AoE2 is an excellent game, too bad you can't have a serious discussion about it now.

REAL TIME STRATEGY, not turn based, holy shit

>>322949832
Yeah. Real surprising.

>>322943178

it was fun but god tier? elves were still OP from the first, and didn't gondor hog up like 80% of the heroes?

>>322949832

Maybe because it's fucking turn based you literal retard?

>tfw Battle for Middle Earth 2 used fanfiction characters with 1 scene each from the movies instead of just using things from the books

Pretty cool, DoW is even BETTER than impossible creatures.

>>322950429

soulstorm = best DoW

>Soulstorm
What an odd way to spell Dark Crusade

>>322949406
>implying

Just don't post the new expansion image, and it's not like there was much discussion of AOE2 to begin with.

Game specific RTS threads get archived with 100 replies most of the time and when they don't it's usually because the thread turned into a RTS general.

>>322951431
Dark crusade is good too, but Soulstorm have better gameplay and it's way more balanced.
But the single player campaign in DC is pretty cool.

>>322951053
Downloading it now

Time for some fucking cheetah sharks

>>322950526
What stopped you from simply pirating it?

>>322952979
There weren't any torrents the few times I looked, and the torrents that were around were dead.

Eventually I just forgot about it until I stumbled upon it in the steam store.

>>322951431
>DC compstompers still this assblasted years later about how broken the multiplayer was in comparison to the fully patched Soulstorm
Relic has a history of shoveling out games, killing the meta, leaving a skeleton crew behind to pick up the pieces while the rest of the team is working on a new product. Dark Crusade was never fixed.

I like Relic but they've been doing this for years now.
