 Was the most fun imo, most diverse civilizations and not as noobyfied as AoE3 (well if you play it without that shitty expansion at least). | ||

They got out of their style of game and tried to be more like warcraft, it didn't make much sense to me. | ||

Yeah AoM was a stepback from AoC but AoM looks good in comparison to AoE3. I tried playing AoM a few weeks ago out of nostalgia and damn is that game bad. | ||

H20 did in the first beta tournament but quit due to falling behind and the game being to hard for him, TLS had decent results not sure how he is now. The only aoe3 players who used to play it that went to sc2 are me/tsl (aka ourk in sc2) and naugim but don't think he's had any results either. The rest that tried quit (I believe grunt tried but went into military service). Capoch was "good" in the beta when 4 gate was strong, ever since 4 gate is a free win he hasn't done anything in tournaments. And idk the other 2 guys. There are several grandmaster players from AOE3. Edit: I know 3 to be exact - we play SC2 together still. No idea if Ourk is GM, if so that would make 4. AOE3 was such a slow game anyways, so the skills don't really transfer. Those of us who did alright in SC2... I don't think it has to do with experience in AOE3 at all. | ||

AOM changed a lot of that with introductions of different population units and hero units. It wasn't what I loved in the age of empire series. It was almost a warcraft 3/aoe hybrid. For someone who had spent the better part of 4 years playing age games, it failed to live up to my expectations at the time. | ||

I don't count GM I used to be GM before I stopped playing on the NA server. I was meaning by tournament results | ||

Seeing how well the Starcraft I and WarCraft 3 players have done, it would be interesting to know how the Age players have done. I want to know if players like Arch_Koven, Grunt and IamChris, would be competitive at Sc2? The only Age player I have seen is Capoch who I ran into on the ladder playing GM on the NA server. If I remember right, koven was a professional SF player in Korea and he only played AoE casually (but still better than other 99%). | ||

Never really pictured it as a competitive platform though, more of a friendly nr 40 min while i make a giant castle and you try to break my cannon line
