Does /tc/ like Age of Empires? Or any other strategy game for that matter.

I just spent four hours playing the first one building me an awesome empire, then I used photon men with cheats to destroy everything. It's still a lot of fun. People usually prefer AoE2 but the first one is still my favorite, probably because I'm a huge sucker for Romans.

I uploaded it here if you want to give it a try but I'm not sure it works outside my comp: http://www.mediafire.com/?l1k7ys5w75m5h77

I used to play Age of Empires and Age of Empires 2 about 9-10 years ago.

I prefer AoE2. I tried out AoE3, but that was complete shit compared to the previous games, with this colony bullshit.

I'm so used to playing AoE2 for quite a while, that even playing one of the many custom campaigns in AoE fucked with my head for a while. I might reinstall both of those games if I had the chance to, along with SWGB, which is pretty much AoE2 with Star Wars in it.

I prefer AoE2 because the sprites are reasonable scales when compared to each other. I guess I'm just picky that way.

Plus, I like the medieval and post-medieval period better.

>SWGB

For some reason, I found that game rather disturbing. I don't even know why.

>>	Anonymous 02/13/11(Sun)14:28 No. 1288 [Edit] Real time strategy games are great. I also love grand strategy games like Victora 1 & 2, but those are in an entirely different league. Games take days and days of meticulous almost autistic planning and work.
