I don't really get it either.

I mean.. I love the game. It ate up a great deal of time when I played it as a kid/teen, and the first thing I did when I got a PC as an adult was install Steam and buy AoE II HD. Just kinda seems to be a point of agreement on /v/ that it was a good game and everyone enjoyed it.

AoE2 is overrated as fuck, but it's a fantastic introduction to the gameplay of the RTS genre, while having enough nuances to individualize it as a unique and remarkable addition to the market.

PC gamers passing on it because "it's old," "it's too popular," or "it's overrated," are doing themselves a disservice. AoE2 is great fun alone or with friends. Especially with friends.

It's not the same building in the map editor and actually play the game. I know you can plop the bridges and create road terrain, but I'd like to play the game regularly with teh ability to add those direct in game.

>>318332137
Its almost like this game that's over a decade old has already been discussed to death, you cunt.
>>
>>318331104
I'm shocked you want to know. My opinion matters little, but because you asked:

I wouldn't change a thing about AoE2. The flaws, the successes, and the quirks of the game are now set in time, and because of that, it has attracted a group of gamers who play AoE BECAUSE of these qualities. Changing the game would make AoE2 or it's hypothetical successers a different game, one that probably exists already (see 3rd paragraph)

It's overrated, but not because it's bad (far from it). It's overrated because there are more strategic RTSs that offer more options for the player over time. Other games is the same genre offer more to the players than AoE2, I feel.

The game flow, and progression of gameplay for the players in AoE2 is very good. In saying this, however, I found AoE2 lacking deeper systems and gameplay. When compared to Rise of Nations, Empire Earth, or Total War, AoE2 is without a doubt an easier game to learn and master.

About $6.5 or two bags of Doritos. My question was whether I need every DLC to play with other fags online or not
>>
>>318332952
no but you won't have access to some civ
>>
>>318332952
the expansions are unnecessary to play online.

If you only have the base game, you are allowed to joined any lobby, but if the host has DLC, you can only picked from a pool of 6 random civilizations, including DLC ones. The pool changes every week

>>318332952
>2 bags of doritos
Well then, I'd even go as far as to suggest the 3rd option with AoE3. I love both games they each have their differences.

Also this >>318333065 as recent you can play with anybody in the world who has any amount of the DLC but you have limitations as to what civs you can use, of course.
>>
>>318332526
seconding this

>>318332341
Micro your units (preferably fast hard hitting ones) to attack each monk. Or use siege, like catapults or trebuchets that can attack from a bit of a distance. Goal is to kill them quickly. Monks cost alot of gold, if your enemy has a monk army you might already be too far behind to win
>>
>>318332413
The base Gane HD edition already comes with the expansions. The other ones are bew expansions released after like 10 years of the main game, I would stick to the original ones.
Ni te molestes, con el juego original tienes mas que suficiente, las expansions son basicamente mods hechos por personas sin relación al estudio original de microsoft games.

AoE 2 HD is cheap as fuck on steam at the moment, there's a sale.

Also, City: Skylines is currently the best city builder out there.
>>
>>318336517
Of course they do you silly person.
Along with the summer sale, the Christmas/Winter sale is the most anticipated of the year.

Comfy city builders:
SimCity 4
Cities: Skyline + After Dark + Mods
Tropico Games with DLC
>>
>>318336517
The Anno series. I've heard bad things about the newest one though.
>>
>>318336726
Yeah I know there a big sale going on right now but I'm poor as fuck so I have to hold it for a while. Gonna check out Skylines, thanks
>>
>>318336726
>>318336781
Cities: Skyline is more a traffic simulator/management than a city builder.
>>
>>318336517
>>318336781
Yes, but remember Steam has decided from this sale onwards, there will be no more Flash Sales, no more Extra low sales, so chances are the prices will remain the same in future sales.

Most likely a result of the refund system and how they probaably dont want to be further bothered by hordes of people refunding games because of a flash sale or a new lower daily sale.

Right now, I believe the entire AoEii+All expansions are ~13$ Which is pretty good Id's suggest getting it.
>>
>>318337108
I honestly think Cities: Skyline is also great as a traffic simulator/management. I'd argue that Cities In Motion are more-so traffic simulator/management than Cities: Skyline.
