Board 8 > So after playing AoE II for a while with some friends

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm not sure any other RTS game I've ever played has felt so...smooth.

Why don't they make something like this with updated graphics? It's so good.

Hey all this is Bartz btw.

I learned more about history from AoE, and strategy games in general, than I ever did from history class.

You know, I think that might be the case with me too, baron.

I legitimately believe that I did better in school from knowing the material in advance after years of Civilization and Age of Empires.

I played this recently as well. Such a great game.

I seem to recall someone writing a paper based on AoE II for a history class and getting an A.

There's always hope for better things in life. But you can't let anything, friend, lover, God himself, be your hope. You have to be your own hope.

AoE2 is still hella fun on lan whenever you're with other people who enjoy it. Same with other great RTS games of its time, like Red Alert 2.

Played Starcraft 2 though, TC? It's the first 3D RTS I've felt has recaptured the quality and addictiveness of the genre. Mostly because it's pretty much a classic 2D RTS with polygons.

Signature change in progress... Please wait.

Yeah, I like Starcraft 2 but I'm really terrible at it because it goes too fast, AoE 2 is about right speed wise

AoE2 is definitely a classic, but I personally prefer RoN :/

That's always my problem as well.

I like building up giant towns with fortifications and great defense, but by the time I am half done in Starcraft I have been rushed and had most of my work/troops wiped out.
