How well does pic related stack up to AoE2? I loved 2, but never played 3. Your opinion?

I had fun with it when it came out. Most people that hated it were just butthurt it wasn't an HD AoE2 reskin.

One of my favorite RTS.
It has everything modern RTS should have : a lot of choice with all the nationalities, a lot of choice within the nationalities with the cards, random maps, explorator "hero" interesting gameplay (even if you don't card it), interesting DLCs, advanced RPS, good mix of macro and micro.
Here you go OP.
I think some people still play it on tuungle too.

I've heard the same. So the general consensus is that 2 is the superior title? In a your opinion anyway?

I grew up with 2 so it will always be my favorite.

Gratitude my dude

No problem. If you're seeking to play online feel free to drop your discord no homo

Yeah I grew up with 2 as well. I'm shopping with the senpai rn and saw this on the shelf for $10. Think it's worth it?

I know it's a hated buzzword but AoE3 is comfy
>building comfy townships near trading posts
>upgrading said trading posts to Iron Horse tier
>Walls! Glorious walls!
>combat is slow but satisfying because black powder firearms

Also, I love the destruction engine, watching cannonballs put holes in buildings and rip off roof tiles.

Is a good game and i like it, the base gameplay is still as good as 2, the physics are pretty nice and i still think it looks pretty decent still.
But i find the maps and population limits are way too small compared to 2, and the card stuff was kinda unbalanced

also i am enjoying playing it with Wars of liberty mod

I was very young when I played 2, and loved it. I was maybe like 14 when this dropped, maybe a bit older.. not sure.. but I really fucking enjoyed it. I thought it was better than 2 in just about every way.

Looking back, 2 was more balanced. Felt more competitive. But I don't enjoy competitive RTS so much because my APM is trash, and the campaign and DLC campaigns were really fun for 3.

Engine was amazing honestly
Oh and i remember all the custom multiplayer maps.
I think my folder is still full of them

>Wars of Liberty mod
Do tell? Is that some kinda 'fan balance patch' or something?

Thanks, it's beautiful.

I'm very skeptical about this claim because RTS don't allow you to play comfy

Is more like a fan expansion pack, more maps, civilizations(Zulu, Australia, Incas, Argentina, A fucking Leaf, and others) expanded religions(with unique priet and upgrades), gameplay mechanics and of course new units.
It is however still in developement and "very rough on the edges" specially some new civ mechanics.
For example the Zulu work like the zerg, you town center autoproduces kids who you can then upgrade to villager and military units. But you have to do it one by one

Still, if suggest to give it a try at least

What i dont like about the mod is the maps. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of maps with great idead that i really like. But let's take "australia" for example. It's australia downscaled to a playable size. yay. You know, when i play on a map, i wanna get the feeling that there is a lot beyond the map, especially when the game is about colonizing. The way they've done it, just makes it feel like the whole world is really tiny. I hate this.

There is also maps with almost no wood, is cleary not perfect and has problem, so i don't expect everybody to like it

That's just a special feature, something i don't really mind. But when you look at maps like "moon" you really start to wonder

AoE3 can be comfy, they even have a Sandbox difficulty if you just like to build towns like 's pic.

>moon
wot

>How did you get there? I don't know. But i want it! Projectiles move quite slow here
