And it worked, because it sustained its own playerbase from its launch which has now mostly migrated to the DE. It was different from AoM and AoE2 and that was what was needed at the time since AoE1, 2 and AoM showed that people don't progress from one to the other but rather choose an Age game that matches their tastes.īeing so radically different gave it the chance to stand out and gain its own following, rather than cannibalizing players from the other Age games. The introduction of Home Cities was not a step forward or backward but simply a different way of changing the game. AoM MP seems to have died out though, probably with the failure of the remaster and expansion.ĪoE3 had a less active but still alive tournament scene and enough players to play in it. I don't know if the AoE1 tournament scene is alive but MP still is. The 2013 HD edition was acknowledgement of the fact that AoE2 was thriving and while AoM and AoE1 DEs failed to take off due to being inferior to the base games, they still remain alive in their userpatched versions. AoE2 survived the 22 years since 1999 with constantly active tournaments, active custom scenario makers and active patching of base game. The last good age of empires was AoEIIHD. All good but is a huge and firm NO for me. And in this aoeiv they seem to repeat the mark of their doom: aoe3. First, AoEIII.įor me AoE is sadly a destroyed franchise. A huge combo of bad decissions makes this ip a complete failure.

The mass, the ones with toasters of 4gb ram and intelHD, cant afford the membershish official clients like the DE demands.įor me AoE is sadly a destroyed franchise. The definitive editions are a SERIOUS mistake for the franchise. Instead of going with a Enhanced and open source version of the classic AoEI and AoEII, the greedy monsters of MS went Remake, selling only in Steam or MsStore. It's simple, has serious balance issues and the introduction of the Homecities messed up the multiplayer community, creating something like hidden tiers, in a multiplayer match the level handicap of the Homecities is more important than any strategy or tactic you can play.Īnd then, the dead of the classics. First, AoEIII.Īge of Empires III is a goodlooking game but is FAR from being a good rts.
