Poll of the Day > Agesboy: you play AoE4?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Thoughts? Been playing it since it came out, but have had a lot of time since this summer to get back into it.

nope, and I unfortunately never played that much of 3 either. I was really bad at those games! I'd probably be better now since I had a SC2 era, but AoE's economy and macro never really clicked with me

might check it out in the near future since I totally forgot it existed though

AoE4 plays like a suped up AoE2, so if that clicked, then you'd likely like it. It's much slower than. SC2, tho. Only 3 was close to that fast.

Oh no, I was bad at 2 too, I just really loved it (especially custom maps). It was hard for me to plan for the long-term when I was, like, 8, which was when I came up with this brilliant username for neopets and runescape.

I really need to give AoE2 another swing too. I have the old 2013 release on steam, but not the remastered version, which looks to have a ton of good UI improvements.

Have only dabbled very slightly in the DE edition, but the crazy thing is, they are still expanding it. Something crazy like 10 civs have been added since the game originally came out, and it's patched and balanced all the time. I've kinda moved on, but debate tapping back in just to check it out myself.

yeah it's legit wild how well-received the DE for aoe2 has been. you'd think people would be cranky about inserting new stuff into an old game, but they get basically universal praise. I was kinda mad about them depreciating the old aoe2, but with what they've done, it's worth it
