Is about empire building.

It is the sequel of Ages of Empire.

There was a time, I knew Microsoft for some good games which did not translate over to their console side.

I really liked how the castles looked.

Xbox probably didn't received an AoE II because Micrococks forbidden the console from having mouse+kb peripherals

>>12606924
Are there people who prefer the original over the sequel? I personally don't see how, but curious because I grew up playing and enjoying both

I prefer 2 but hoplites are based, 2's units can't compare

>>12609870
i grew up with 1 and didnt get 2 (2013 release) til steam. i still think 1 is better. 2 is full of competitive tards

>>12609870
I had my share of fun in AoE2 over Mplayer but single player campaigns in it were absolute bore compared to AoE1.

>>12609870
I just like the bronze age and antiquity

>>12609870
I like the setting and ideas of AoE1 more than I actually like playing it. The scale and balance just isn't there.

>>12609870
aoe 2 is the better game but aoe 1 has more sovl (and aoe 2 is already very sovlful)

>>12606924
I remember I got Empire Earth, but I still went back to AoE2

Boy I sure hope they don't ruin the game with woke civs and twitter developers

>>12614664
The actual problem is the new fake Chinese civs (that are based on historical myth) and adding heroes to these civs in normal gameplay. Just can't resist that China money

>>12606924
One of the best RTS games

>>12609870
The sequel improves upon the gameplay in every way, the only meaningful thing the original has is a different setting (matter of personal preference) and better cheat units.
Of course AOE2:DE gives you the best of both worlds but inserts its own issues with faggot devs doing bad DLCs.

>woke civs
This is a retarded complaint. The only bad civs are the 3K non-civs. Muisca or Mapuche are fine, they're real historical entities that fit into the time period.

>>12609870
The original has better cheats. Photon man, bigdaddy, icbm, dark rain, flying dutchman, jack be nimble all fun as hell just off the top of my head. The ones in aoe2 suck dick.
