New civilizations: Berbers, Ethiopians, Malians and Portuguese New civilizations: Incas, Indians, Italians, Magyars and SlavsĪ second expansion, The African Kingdoms, was released on November 5, 2015.
It includes 5 new civilizations, new campaigns, new units and balance changes. Originally, it started as a modding project in 2011 called Age of Empires II: Forgotten Empires. The first expansion for the HD Edition, The Forgotten, was released on November 7, 2013. It also supports user-generated content through the Steam Workshop and multiplayer games provided through the Steam servers. The HD Edition includes both the original game and the expansion The Conquerors, as well as updated graphics for high-resolution displays. On April 9, 2013, Age of Empires II: HD Edition (later renamed to Age of Empires II (2013)) was released on Steam. To summarize, I find both games fascinating but I think AoE3 has to be balanced well for competitive scene.The Conquerors is the first expansion for Age of Empires II which included new game features, new unique technologies for each civilization and five new civilizations. Example, Lakota and all other native civs just dies in Imperial Age. Some realism added which makes it more fun from being a casual perspective but just kills competitive play. This just makes the game cringy when I see them as it becomes so annoying that one civ gets an unraidable eco (villagers) and others’ eco can be easily raided.

Too many free resource buildings : Factory, Bank, Shrine, Torp. Home city cards makes the game faster paced but at the cost of adding imbalance. Owing to the different unit type and tech tree, the game becomes imbalanced. Lots of cool and separate art style and unit type for every civilizations. New mechanics like finding treasures, building trade posts, gathering hunt throughout the map which rewards map control compared to turtling in AoE2. The game revolves around more army and rush (in Supremacy) which makes it quite fun to play. Walls are not so strong as it is in AoE2, still quite strong in late game which is fine. Which might take years for one to be at a top level. The game revolves around knights and crossbow meta, which gets boring quickly.Įasy to begin, but harder to master. Hopefully, new Empire Wars will overcome that. As the units are trained more slowly when compared to AoE3, opponent can wall and stall. Which also makes scouting more important.ĭue to the above points, we have tournaments with better prizepools than AoE3.Īs a person who doesn’t have much time to play for some years, I find the game slow paced. No home city cards which can suddenly snowball the game (Except stuff like Flemish Revolution which doesn’t belong to the game). No free resource buildings (Except the Feitoria which everyone hates) (Except 2 or 3 top civs like Mayans, Chinese)
Similar kinds of tech tree except unique unit which makes the game easier to be balanced. Cant wait to play AoM 2 with the engine of AoE 4.įrom my perspective, AoE2 and AoE3 has its own advantages and disadvantages:Īs others mentioned, there is a clear counter system.Ĭomplex micromanagement and macromanagement which adds depth to the game. However, I crazy love AoE 3, it is just an incredible game that needs some love and recognition and whoever is playing AoE 2 should give it a try.ĪoM is underrated too, but its understable, those graphics are a pain for the eyes. Yeah I understand fan base and blah blah but come on, do they want an AoE 2 fan base playing it or a whole new fan base buying it? because if it was the case, AoE 3 has incredible graphics, modern economy options and improvements and insane physics and effects… The explosions, the siege operators, the celebrations, the destruction effects, the fidelity of the units to reality, the asymmetry of the civs, the cannons, the detailed wonderful spectacular ships, man why is this game so underrated?Īnd one more question, why stick AoE 4 to AoE 2 when AoE 3 is superior to AoE 2 in all meanings!? The infinite strategy paths and the incredible polished animations make this game a germ! I have not even touched AoE 2 in years and became an AoE 3 addict since then. To be honest at this point I consider it the best RTS of all time. Guys, best decision ever! what an insane game, with way more possibilities and strategies than AoE 2.
I said arggh whatever, will give it a try just because it’s free… Man, that game was incredibly epic! Then I said to myself -holy crap, maybe I should give a try to AoE 3… They insisted on me playing those games, I had to refuse, I thought myself ´´what a lame game and economy, those games really suck´´. My brothers usually play those games and I was happy with my AoE 2. When I was a big addicted fan of age 2 I used to hate company of heroes and age of empires 3.
