I knew it! Microsoft has been using IA the whole time! Look at this drawings, it’s proof!

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

Chocrates ,

I’m simping for them but they are hamstrung a bit by the ancient code. They haven’t rewritten it.

Fair criticism though, maybe they should have rebuilt the engine by now.

You could try AoE4 instead. Basically a reboot of AoE2 in a modern engine.

Old days!? Aoe2 is still getting expansions!

It is?! Must look into that. Still my favourite game of all time.

tobogganablaze ,

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.

Chocrates ,

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

sweatiest

First read: Sweetest

Second read: I hear you deep down

I guess this is not because of how good the “AI” is, but because it automatically gets note resources than any human player.

Chocrates ,

The rewritten ai doesn’t cheat like the original! It’s just amazing!

daemoz ,

Never thought I’d say this but the personalities are great to. It’s like a worlds fair of cool dudes who can do unbelievable shit

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 was about to say, “what do you mean ‘old days’, I’m still playing!”

This game will outlive DOOM being run on things.

Or more likely, someone will figure out a way to play one in the other.

Chocrates ,

Oh man I bet you can get doom running in the scenario editor. The new devs may even be willing to enhance it somehow so that you could.
Although I have not really played or watched competitive since The Viper left for Facebook.

Geobloke ,

Pretty sure he’s back on twitch, but I only watch a few of his highlights on YouTube

Chocrates ,

He is, I just haven’t gotten back in to it for no reason.
