I have this strange addiction to the old Age of Empires II on the PC.
Anyone else enjoy this game or maybe discuss games that are like AoE. -------------------- Retired MSW Senior Moderator

I love Age of Empires. I have Age of Empires 1 and 2, and the expansion for both. I also have a lot of similar strategy games such as Rise of Nations and Civilization 3 and 4.

I have played AoE, and beat the Asian and the Chinese Dynasty. but I removed it before I finish the other one.
Used to play Stronghold Crusade, that was like 4-5 years ago though, enjoyed it lots. --------------------   |

They don't make RTS's like they used to. AoE 1 was win except for the 75 population cap. What was up with those priests? Aooowwaaahahwa! Next time I want to brainwash someone I'll have to try that out.

QUOTE (Lord John @ Nov 6 2009, 05:56 AM) They don't make RTS's like they used to. Wait until StarCraft II comes out. That is supposed to be using today's technology but keeping the essence of the older classics. Oh and that leads to my addiction to StarCraft. I was addicted to it for a long time before RuneScape and even during my early years of RuneScape. Then I got addicted to RuneScape only to go back to StarCraft again because I love the gameplay and creating maps. -------------------- Your Chance for FREE Parrot Avatars Ask for one of these avatars.

 What is up Group: MSW Member +++ Posts: 641 Joined: 19-April 09 From: Canada Member No.: 8,625 Jagex Name: Ace7723 |
I am a huge RTS fan lol.
Age of empires II was great, I didn't really like the third for some reason, didn't have the same feel. My favorite is Rise Of Nations and it's expansion, so much win (once you've modded out nukes) Empire earth II is really good too, but it's best played multiplayer IMO. EE3 is just terrible. Oldschool RTS is always where it's at. Also try the Total war series, I like "Rome: total war" best with Realism mod. |

Star Wars Battlegrounds anyone? It was pretty much AoE II but with star wars, land and air units. Epic win.

If we're going to talk about classic RTS games, you can't forget Command and Conquer and C&C Red Alert. So epic games. I started playing red alert 1 when I was 5 years old and I still love playing it. I played AoE 1 & 2 with the expansions, and loved making epic battles with the map editor (I'd have 10 teams with crazy amount of resources and huge bases with a small no man's land and just fight it out) but I also had the Empire Earth 1 and it's expansion. I also have Rome: Total war, Rise of Nations (another epic game with an awesome map editor that makes for great fun) and it's expansion. I guess I was raised on RTS's and I still have all of my old ones and I still whip them out every now and then. Stronghold was a pretty cool game too, but I think it has a lack of distinct units that made me not like it as much, but I like how you have to actually have an understanding of economics to succede in that game, so that makes up for the lack of awesome combat.

How do you turn this on anyone?
 I barely even cheated the whole game because I enjoyed the regular game more. I miss that game so much. That was my first RTS that I got really hooked on and played forever. I'm gonna go play it right now.

Me and my bro played AoE far too much. Old pirated disk copy of AoE1 got me rollin.
We had AoE 3 online for a while, but the computer could never really handle it. -------------------- I am a freedom fighter!Forget the past - Join the revolution!   ~Xela King~ |

I love Age of Empires because I cheat it and do nothing but Death Matches.
My strategy is build up defenses, walls, guard towers, ect and then the other King's wave after wave of troops come in and I try to hold them off. Eventually, if I can survive, the other King's men all die off and I quickly rebuild and go smother him because he already wasted all his men trying to kill me and has no good defense. I hate the population limit. I want a MASSIVE army and I can only go to 200. Is there any cheat to get around that? -------------------- Retired MSW Senior Moderator
