what the hell? Since when? I remember playing this waaaaaay back but then you didn't need to pay for anything like that :s
A game where the first thing you do is scout with a “worker”. Does that make any sense? Who scouts with a “worker”? That’s like sending out the janitor to perform recon, what general would do that? Retarded game.

All you need is $10... which is not a lot of money. You can try all the races for free, but you can only do unranked matches which apply the RPG buffs you earn in the single player... which means you can pay to win.

The real joy is champion mode where everything is unlocked, and the RPG elements are set-aside. You need to buy a civilization to do this, which (like I said) is only $10. So far my experiences have been pretty fun. Just make sure you TRY out a race before you buy it. I started with the greeks before moving to the celts, and I'm really glad i made the switch because I just couldn't get a good feel for the greeks.

It's like the Sc2 campaign where you have persistent upgrades and unit unlocks

Does anyone know if the Steam version still requires games for windows live? or if atleast the steam version isnt as problematic as the default one?.

When I tried the game through Steam I did not have any problems. I assume GFWL is still primarily being used, since you have to log in with a GFWL account, but someone else may have more insight. I played for a few hours, but wasn't sure how to feel about the game.

It still requires GFWL, I didn't have to reinstall GFWL but I doubt it's any different

Hello, this is kedinik, a member of the AoE:O balance team. Several of us will be using this account to interact with you guys. We're often pretty busy with balance/design work, but we'll try to answer questions when possible. Primarily, we can provide insight into questions regarding game design and PvP.

Empire Points can be used to purchase civs, PvE gear and consumables, etc., but we have a (high-priority) bug where GFWL cannot be used to purchase Empire Points.

However, players can still purchase EP through the Steam store; any AoE:O player can install and launch the game through Steam, log in with the same GFWL account they have been using, buy EP on Steam, and use the EP to unlock whatever they like.

I've got 511 EPs and am planning on saving up to purchase a premium civ with which to pvp.

However I suspect I'll bite the bullet and cough up some cash. I'm level 8 atm and the quests are all trivially easy to the point of tedium Not saying it's a bad thing, but anyone with a bit of RTS experience will find them a walk in the park.

This game evolved quite a bit from stupid imbalanced gear pvp and basically pay to win to "true" lol Style free-to play and the dev's dooing a insane amount of communication with the players and heard the feedback so we got well balanced PvP and recently observer Mode! It's improving at a insane speed by now ! Tons of new content in the one Year since its release: alliance wars, 3 new civilisations, very many quests, skirmish the above pvp features and very many comfort features !

No its not senseless. In aoe2, all you have to do to get started is download Garena or something and play. In this version, you have to go through all of this F2P bullshit. I mean when I played this I was getting matched against people higher level then me, so they had an item advantages. Also I heard it was poorly balanced and that the pathing was made somehow worse.

So once again, why should I play this over age of empires 2?

If you actually pay for a race you can play the real PvP. You probably shouldn't though since you're comparing it to stealing AoE2 though. Why bother paying for anything when you can just play AoE2 on garena for free!
