Old days!? Aoe2 is still getting expansions!
It is?! Must look into that. Still my favourite game of all time.
Not only that, it's still active, including a competetive scene with regular livestreams and tournaments.
I did come across the competitive scene there about 2 years ago. Honestly I found it both fascinating and a bit disheartening. There was I happy with my occasional dad game where I was regularly beating the AI on one of the higher levels. Nope. Apparently still a noob after 25 years.
The speed and accuracy that they move and build at is astounding.
The new AI is astounding. I haven't played in a while but I never was able to beat the harder difficulties. Even at my sweatiest
It is shocking the longevity this game has. Still has a thriving competitive scene. Still getting expansions and patches. It's a fantastic game.
I recently tried Aoe II definitive edition. they managed to massacre the UI so much it hurts my eyes... that alone made me issue a refund also £15 for a 25 year old game. you'd expect it to be better in every aspect at the very least
You could try AoE4 instead. Basically a reboot of AoE2 in a modern engine.
wololo
Convert me papal papi!
