Mostly Skybox, they made Extended Edition a pile of buggy shit, including the netcode. But considering the Chinese were absurdly OP and that everything else came across as rushed, I'm convinced that Forgotten Empires LLC are simply more savvy with AoE II than AoM. African Kingdoms and Rajas were great but Tale of the Dragon is where they shit the bed.

>>376791324
Yeah, god powers were a mistake and early 3d games look like ass

AOE2 was my jam. I used to play it a lot with my cousin, and what we really liked to do was consume most resources to wall off the map in half, with both of us ruling one side while the AI was stuck on the other. We would then use the safe, walled off side for trading routes with each other and create a shitton of gold, which we would use to bully the weakened AI on the other side.

It wasn't about winning.

Saracens. They're the Dan Hibiki of AoEII, they have the tools to win but no one takes them seriously. Plus Mamelukes are horse archers that can kill Paladins 1v1

>>376783819

I like the British for their bows too, but I find myself camping behind my walls whenever I play as them. I just don't know how to launch an attack with them while keeping my archers safe. Anyone?

>>376793518
In AoC, weren't Mamelukes practically able to win against any unit in the game 1v1?

>>376793653
Shitloads of pikemen. They serve as a meat shield against infantry so your archers can kill them, and they obviously beat cavalry. The only caveat is you need to outnumber the enemy by a lot. Apart from that rather obvious tactic, try baiting the enemy with more expensive targets like scorpions or onagers, or even buildings.

You guys just reminded me of an experiment I did a couple years ago.

Got back into the game playing vs the hardest AI possible on my favourite mode, regicide.

It's hard to beat them all yet.. they seem so dam retarded at the same time. Wonder how long it would take for them to beat me if I let them.

the new hardest AI is really good though

Unless I rush them down early like in multiplayer, I just can't beat it on highest difficulty. If you let it get going it's un fucking stoppable.

>Got back into the game playing vs the hardest AI possible on my favourite mode, regicide.

Vanilla or HD, the AI is completely fucked over by rushing, their fastest Feudal times usually take longer than how much time you'd spend in the Dark Age when doing something like a Fast Castle. In Regicide it gets a bit tricky with the different starting resource distribution and a free castle or tower on some maps, but you can still try to make them squirm.

It does get trickier if they can build up, but they're still bound to some caveats that can slow them down.

>>376794139
Nah, they still get fucked over pretty easily and never fight back with villagers unless the attacker has low enough HP/attack.

>without weird civ specific gimmicks

An AI stuck with Goths (low cost) or Malians (higher pierce armor) will tend to create MAA from the Feudal Age. Not sure if it's the case with civs like the Burmese or Japanese.

Garland Wars isn't the most useful unique tech, but boy did the Aztecs have some nice passives.

HD xpacks took away Free Loom for +50 starting gold and the production boost no longer affects monks, but now you get a unique tech that's Not-Bracer for Skirmishers so that's still pretty nice.

AoE2 fans being retarded mostly. MY one friend claims that "It's not about empires cause no knights or castles!".

The biggest issue is the card system. Cards are unlocked by levels meaning that higher level civs are always better than lower leveled ones, meaning that you have to stick to 1 civ or you are fucked.

M'nigga, Caesar III was my favorite game when I was a kid. Now I'm playing this little gem called Hearthlands.

Pharaoh was top tier comfy
I played the shit out of a demo version that only had the tutorial and two scenarios when I was a child. I remember borrowing the actual game from a relative but the main campaign glitched out in one of the maps where I had to build a pyramid so I was never able to beat the game.

>>376808014
Oh Hearthlands looks neat. I'll try it out eventually.
I also heard the Chinese one, i think its called Shogun, is good.

>>376808056
You should try it for yourself then.

post ideas for an AoE game
>fire mechanics, spreads throughout buildings/grass/trees
>most buildings leave neutral husks when put out of function that can be captured/rebuilt/destroyed, this means that the geometry of a base will remain largely intact instead of being leveled to a wasteland, even if you destroy his buildings, which should be more complex and interesting

>>376803243
>The biggest issue is the card system.
I mean, having to level your Home City was fucking retarded even if the aesthetic unlocks were cool as fuck, but i think the concept fit perfectly considering the colonization theme.
I think the other problems were map size (feel too small compared to 2) and population limits (i know 2 also capped at 200 back in the day, but everything costed only one pop, in 3 you have units costing multiple pops.

I kinda wish we got a HD version fixing those three problems.

Barricades/wooden stakes, quasi-buildings which work like towers, damaging units that approach them except they have zero range, and have an anti-cavalry bonus I guess.

You don't train units. You only get X peasants every X seconds, fix for balance, depending on food, housing, tech.
Then you can send these peasants to work, gather, or to a barracks, where they can become this or that unit.

>>376809268
BUILDING UPGRADES*
For example outposts can be upgraded to towers

>>376809332
Battle Realms should stay in Battle Realms, that system would be too complicated with the huge poplimit of AoE

>>376809474
>Battle Realms should stay in Battle Realms

WRONG. It should conquer all RTS.

Franks

Beefier cavalry, cheap castles, throwing axemen. Nothing not to like.

Byzantines and chinese also were faves

>>376810237
In 2v2 matches we always played one aggro, and one booming. Works very solid.
In 1v1 however you need to aggro, because if the other guy aggroes and you don't, you just lose.

It's just a satire joke, I'm sure the marines would go through extensive, hard, balls to the wall training. They're professional alien killers and trained to not freak out in desperate out-numbering situations. Imagine the Space Marines from Warhammer 40k without any of that genetic removal of fear of death and such.

I only played a bit of Settlers III or IV at a friend's house when I was a kid so my memory is a bit foggy, but I think you started with a bunch of villagers that you'd eventually upgrade into combat units once you had the infrastructure and resources going

>>376809738
>this is literally how Turks get villagers in AoE III
You dont train the villagers into units though
Though the Zulus in Wars of Liberty do fit it, though they are closer to Zergs

>>376810442
>tfw always preferred Cossacks over AoE

I always loved musket warfare

At least we got our own remake via Cossacks III

>>376778920
START THE GAME ALREADY!!

>>376810727
Cool to see other people know these games, the settler 4 is so addicting
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL623B0CCA2B2CFCBB

Anyway, if you build a house a fixed amount of settlers will trickle out, so its nothing like the other guy described. You should get it on GOG

MORR-BES

>>376810865
Does Cossacks III have a good campaign?

>>376796335
It has much better naval combat than AoE2. The line battle is also satisfying as fuck. People are hating AoE3 in here are just trying to fit in. AoE3 is the best AoE ever.

>>376810971
All Cossacks games have excellent campaigns, but they aren't story driven like AoE. More like they are strategy puzzles, how do beat that enemy with this resource.

>>376811079
I know why I was disappointed when it came out.

`. Worse aesthetics, mostly I like swords more than guns.
2. That fucking card game system.
3. Somehow worse AI, literally how!?

It also crashed to desktop for me on release, probably memory leak.

>>376811079
AoE 3 had some issues, like lower popcap, stupid card system, and every villager being an AoM citizen (why weren't dropoff points included?) though

>>376807885
Stronghold 3 was such a shit storm holy fuck.

I regret buying this game to this day.

>>376811307
>buy stronghold 2
>literally says "coop vs AI" on the box
>multiplayer has no AI

>>376811223
The only one I actually properly loathe is the low popcap. It didn't really make sense with the 'developing a colony' theme they had going where, you could reach the cap in the second or third age and the late game was just fucking around with tech

>>376808958
http://aoe3wol.com/
also if you dont want large mods, there is a competetive team supported by ensemble who makes new (and bigger maps) and generally adjust game balance (you can find it right on Aoe3 heaven)

>>376792243

if you're gunna play a Star Wars RTS, just get the Star Wars total conversion for Total Annihilation.

Comfy.

>>376811438
seems like it's a result of 3d models over sprites

though it doesn't make any fucking sense because supreme commander came out at around the same time, so it's probably just a major design error

>>376811604
It's not just a re-texture of AoE 2. It's a different game with different kinds of units and strategies. It borrowed a lot from AoE 2 but the meta is completely different and I would argue it's a harder game to play competitively.

I don't remember planes or having to power your buildings in AoE2

>>376811525
I knew about WoL, i don't think they maps bigger or changed the population limits, at least they didn't when i played.
Zulus and Egyptians are kinda fun as a concept but the limits in the engine piss me of,
unless they fixed them.

>>376810237
AoM has powerful early rushes, so making a military early in the game is practically mandatory when you hit Classical.

>>376811934
And I don't remember needing berries to build droids, and wood to build spaceships, in the Star Wars universe.

>>376807885
>This was made by the devs who developed the best RTS ever that is Stronghold Crusader
What the fuck happened? Why they forgot how to make RTS?

>>376811813
it, like all Star Wars franchise games, was just a star wars texture pack lazy slapped over someone else's game. take your nostalgia goggles off anon.

That one, plus Attila (except the last scenario, fuck that, though that could be said about most of the final levels in campaigns). I also really like the stand-alone Conquerors scenarios.
