Oh shit these fucking changes.
Does the HD edition still have 2d graphics?
>>315505552
ofcourse it fucking does, what the fuck did you expect
the only thing that was added in the hd version is more resolution options and new multiplayer servers
>>315504975

Holy shit

So an almost 2 decades old game is getting an expansion? Is it just a new patch or do we have to pay for it?
>>315507147
Cysion said it's about the same price as The Forgotten, which is $9.

Did they ever fix the game crashing bugs with this game?
>>315507802
it no longer crashes but it still uses the same netcode (peer2peer) so it can be a bit laggy
>>315507802
You mean the crash that happens on ATi cards in windows XP or higher when you have Direct3D enabled, when you clicked the tech tree icon? That was probably fixed in HD.
>>315507927
That's good to hear.
>>315504975
That looks awful
>lets take garbage from AoE 3
>and some units of AoE1
>and just copy preexistent civs design gimmick
Why the fuck did microsoft had to close fucking Ensemble
and why the fuck did they choose african kingdoms?
Also the multiplayers maps looked awful, they are essentially copies of other maps that were already there
Im convinced that the sole reason behind microsoft joining the video game industry was to destroy it and push the US gubbermint agenda.
>>315508686
You can still play non-HD on Voobly with user patches (high resolution and a few other things).
How are the AoE games and how do they play? As far as strategy games go, I've only really played PDX games so I'm wondering how these compare.
>>315509746
AoE games are similar to classic RTS like Warcraft, C&C and Starcraft, but have more complex macro (5+ different types of resources, trading, etc), are somewhat grounded in realism and history and have longer games (with advancing through different ages rather than everything being solved by a rush)

>>315515386
>>315515340
Last time I checked, Portugal was never an African Kingdom.
They were the first Global Empire (and the longest-lasting one) and colonized African shitskins, Brazil and parts of Asia.
>>315514891
this
everyone knows africa didn't exist in medieval times
With siege tower and melee units being more effective against buildings, I guess walling off won't be as effective as it used to be especially with the new cracked earth tile.
>>315515497
If you read this and still don't get why portugal is in you are dumb.
>>315515645
I'm just wondering why it's called "African Kingdoms" (>Kingdoms) instead of "Colonization" or "New Age" or whatever the fuck.
Are they trying to appeal to SJWs?
>>315515741
Yeah, they even have female military units now.30hp and 0/0 armor though
>>315503726
>We wuz kingz n shiet
Opened the thread to post this desu
>>315515741
Because 3 out of 4 civs are African kingdoms
>>315515520
Mali is ok. The Berbers are redundant. Portugal existed in medieval times but didn't get prominent until after this game's timeframe. Ethiopia is ok I guess but its heyday was over.
>>315518106
We'll see what role they play in the new campaigns (which are "fully voice acted" btw).

New expansion is shit. All the civs are incredibly overpowered.
Portugese dominate water/teamgames thanks to free carto and 10% health. Etheopians will have 13 mins fc and be able to kill people right when they click up.
Malians will have infantry with +8 pierce armour. They are going to be almost walking teutonic knights not even hc's will do significant dmg. Civs like japanese, goths and vikings will be useless against malians.
Berbers can always catch up against enemy fleeing galleys and run away. They can basically decide when to engage or not. Also 20% cheaper kts really? They can go 3stable fc fucking retarded.
Just because you made the FE civs shitty doesnt mean you overcompensate and ruin the game with 4 overpowered ones.
>>315526462
this desu, I thought from the preview on the zeroempires that the new civs are way, way overpowered
could be something to make people enjoy the OP civs before they get patched
>>315526462
That analysis was disappointing, also kind of expected. What were the FE civs like?
>>315521819
That's a meme anon.
>>315526462

West African empires just happened to find a fuck load of gold. Then they hired Arabs to build their cities.
They did nothing themselves.
>>315540403
The Forgotten civs are ok I guess, but the Portuguese and Berbers seem like overkill. Malians are at least stereotyped as medieval so I'm ok with them.
Anyone know what they mean when they say AI improvement? What exactly did they do and was it to AI or original AI
Since the new expansion, the old campaigns (at least the William Wallace campaign) is bugged as fuck. Not only, I can't watch the first and last cutscenes of the first mission, can't watch the last cutscenes of the others, but I can't even play the last mission! What the fuck they did with these old campaings?!?
>>315543017
The AI in the original game was really easy, even on hard. ("Hardest" would cheat to get free resources.)
The Forgotten has completely new AIs (not sure about HD though), which are actually challenging and try different things, including tower rush and fast castle strats. I think they have just tweaked these AIs even more.
Cysion, the Belgian guy, has been working on it for years, making the AI lure boar to their town center and all kinds of other things that human players do.
But does it work online now or is it the same shit on the HD launch?
