Anyone know how the gameplay compares to Age of Empires 2?
I played previous release with friends, it was quite enjoyable. AI is super strong for newbies.
Then again, I am more interested in exploration and building than fighting to the dead. I loved playing Age of Empires on the easy setting and then go overboard with the civilization building.
"Ah, I see you can handle attacks, but can you handle little groups of 3 attackers going after every resource simultaneously and running away when you look at them; all the time?"
That crap is no fun to play against. Not unless your own units can be programmed with some basic AI to counter it.
Hannibal of Carthage agrees.
The DE of Age of I sucks though, the sprites generates from 3D models being less good than in II DE. I would has preferred they made a remaster like the C&C for this one.
I'd love to see an alphastar variant try to learn how to play and compete against the best
