It was mine too. I'm glad there is at least someone who likes the AoE series on this forum. |

Hey, I LOVE the AOE sereies, 'cept I have Empire Earth II going against it. Do I like dictating my allies, or do I like massing Cobras to attack my enemy's castle? |

I enjoyed AOE myself, I played Age1 years ago and it was one of the first RTS I ever saw. I was fascinated by it. Age2 fascinated me even more, I found it fell under the rare catagory of "sequels that are truly better than their ancestors" Age3 didnt really catch on to me however. By then I discovered UT2004 |

If all the stuff of Empire Earth 2 and Age of Empire 3 collide, you have the best RTS game in the world. This includes: Rock-paper-scissors system (ligt mount beats is good against heavy artillery, etc.)(EE2) War plans (EE2) orginality from each civilization (AOE3/2) germans speak german, french speak french(AOE3/2) Being able to start in the cave man age and go all the way to the "synthetic age".(EE2) physics..(AOE3) heroes(AOE3/2) unique civilization units for each era...(EE2) Being able to have no limit on how many troops you can select at a time(EE2) making massive 500-men armies(EE2) and realistic tech trees.(AOE3/2) there'd be so much more I can say about this combination, but I can't think of anything else to add... |

No. You'd end up with a regular RTS game. Mixing games (especially RTS's) isn't a smart idea. The only good idea is the massive armies, but thats what the Total War series is for. |

I enjoy the Rise of nations series more than Age of empires or Empire Earth. Back on topic though Asian dynasties is going to be a demo download if they have one and if I have extra money laying around I might pick it up |

I greatly prefer AoE 1. AoE 2 looks so different in graphics and game pace that I just gave up on trying to like it. |

Well to get back on topic, i seriously can't wait for this one. It shall defiantly be awesome. Maybe, just maybe they'll let us fight the same team (Russia vs Russia) in Skirmish (offline) in it and maybe that territories thing i once saw in a Age of Empires 3 The War Chiefs Video will be put into affect as an option for the side, and maybe if we're real lucky, they let us choose how many people per team so you could have more than 2 teams! |

AoE 2 looks so different in graphics and game pace that I just gave up on trying to like it. Differents tastes? Im surprised at this comment since Age2 has virtualy everything that was in age1. I will even go as far as saying it was Age1 with better graphics. I played both age 1 and 2 consistently for months and I had ample time to compare: It had the same HUD with the same set of commands along with many others. Unit instructions on the left, unit and regiment info in the center and map on the left with your menu buttons and resource count at the top of the screen just like in Age 1 It had the same style User Interface with the exception of the main menu. It had the same 4 resources to collect and the same methods of getting them, trees, bushes, animals, quarries, sea. It had your barracks for soldiers, archery for bowmen, stables for horsemen, docks for ships, just like in Age1 It had the same defences: walls and towers. Castles were just an added bonus. I could go on... There are alot of games where the sequels were far too different from their prequels to be fun but Age2 was not that different at all. |

Found a new interview by Gamespy with Brian Reynolds. The cool news is that it tells that the 3 new civilizations will be China, Japan, and India. It also includes 4 new screenshots. |

Either you misunderstood my post or you need glasses. By graphics I also mean design, and the art is very different between the games. What I hated about AoE 2 was the new look of everything, I couldn't recognize what was barracks and what was stables. Keep in mind that I'm very visually impaired, so the simplicity of the art in AoE 1 is why it attracts me. I have tried modern RTSs and they are just far too complex for my eyes, I can't even see the units in the environment for god sakes! Let alone the mouse pointer. |

Don't glasses help? Would laser eye surgery work? |

I have been using glasses since I was 3, and nope, laser doesn't do any good in my case. |

Sounds like your distaste was really unavoidable if the game only supported good eyesight The family gene that has resulted in my entire family wearing glasses may one day catch up with me but until then my eyesight remains sharp, only loosing focus when I relax them. This may perfectly explain our two points of view. I had no trouble discerning between various objects in AOE2 and thus only saw the variety in architexture to be visual confectionary and not a burden. Hence my surprisal at your comment, |

I would see the difference if I took the time to study each building carefully and learn the characteristics, but I don't have a copy of AoE 2 anymore. In AoE 1 the buildings are so simple that I can learn them quickly. |

Since everyone wants to keep talking about eyesight, i'll just re-post my post that got forgotten. Found a new interview by Gamespy with Brian Reynolds. The cool news is that it tells that the 3 new civilizations will be China, Japan, and India. It also includes 4 new screenshots. |
