And ended with 35. I feel like I want to upgrade my computer just so I can play the Definitive Edition. :)

One of my earliest PC gaming memories

Neighbor/friend had it. We only had a few of those, mostly on console, so it stuck with me

I think my older brother was part of the beta for the original AoE 2. I remember something about that.

this is true. there were a handful of differences between each faction. aesthetics don't really count tbh but it was nice

TIL that they actually have "building collapse" animations in the Definitive Edition. Man those look satisfying.

The Definitive Edition is great fun

I never did get into the third game. Was it even any good?

Age of Empires 2 was like a year of my life as a teenager. Id just spend hours building my army, then just annihilating the computer. I remember I tried the hardest difficulty, and got smashed within 30 mins.

Then I psyched myself up, and started a game against the hardest computer, and after like 7 hours and all resources on the map excavated, I beat those Persians. I stole so many Elephants from them.

3 was okay, but a bit overcomplicated by requiring connection to the "home city" as a gameplay mechanic. I enjoyed it, but it obviously didn't take off like 2 did.

Meh...? I liked AoE 2 back in the day but the whole "13 civs!" thing is way less cool than it sounds. They shared almost all of their units.
