aoe2

Holy cow there's an /aoe2 channel... dangus. This game was formative in my teens... few games can compare to it even now. I personally loved AOE2 more than anything in the C&C series, maybe even more than Warcraft 1 & 2.

Thanks! I deffo agree, there was this amazing interplay of simplicity and complexity that was absolutely nailed in AOE2, especially using the Age of Kings expansion. Few games ever managed to capture that feeling for me, quite like AOE2.

I remember playing this as well! I watched a few gameplays of the newest one but it doesn’t quite scratch the itch like AOE2

Omg command and conquer - haven’t heard that mentioned in a long while.

It’s tough to pit Warcraft 1 & 2 against AoE or even the StarCraft series. They each have their merits and strengths.

A better comparison is perhaps Age of Empires versus Age of Mythology.
