Yeah, <3
Age of Empires 1 death match is where you learn true micro, it's even harder to micro than Brood War
Especially in Choson wars, controlling 50-100 legions at once

Yeah Aoe of Empires 1 was my first RTS. I thought the game was pretty bad though 
Everyone kept picking got damn choson. Legions were so damn cost effective in that game.

TheMista's by far the most dominant Age of Empires: Online player right now.
Not sure how much he plays SC2 but he's master league with protoss.

Frikkin Koreans -_-. I never played any of the AOEs Competitively, just tons of LANs with friends  . Those were the days.......

pretty sure iechoic comes from AoE, he says so on the Day[9] daily he is on. I also recall him saying there is not much translation of skill set.

their towers were awesome, they could hit elite cannon galleons iirc. did anyone use scorpions or mangonels?

I abandoned Starcraft for AoK/AoC. Blasphemy I know, but I just had so much damn fun with that game. It's too bad none of the other AoEs were as good imo.
|
Wow. I am so amazed to see some old AOE players on TL. Not too gloat too much, but I was a top Cho War player in vanilla.
My old Zone akas: Spy_Tree, VFC_Thug, My_Hope, Nbk_Phantom, mexih.
I played the game off and on for twelve years, I really wish e-sports was as big then as it is now. If anyone recognizes any of my akas, please feel free to pm me.

Of course they get free tower upgrades.... War Wagons that out range Town Centers and Turtle ships that never die. And it's only a bonus that their Imperial Racial Research is Extra Siege Range.

I played AoE a lot, but the only thing it got me was a love for making walls and lots of defense and playing 4 hour games where I take over the entire map. So I don't think it translated well into Sc2 for me.

I think terran can play slow like that, and protoss simcity is somewhat reminiscent. The hard part for me was splash dmg and air units are not really found in AOE, so I had no feel for those starting out.

You've obviously never played against someone massing siege weapons. Heavy Scorpions OP.

Onagers were good for removing trees, and thats about it. They were not a backbone of an army like siege tanks are for terran(trebuchets are the closest comparison for that). Scorpians were not used like hellions and colossus are. Outside of DM siege rushes were not viable.

While we are comparing AOC and SC2, one of my favorite AOC comps was mongol knight/cavalry archer, its kinda like roach/hydra on creep.
