It's definitely worth 5$ for sure. If you played it as a kid then it's worth it for the nostalgia factor alone.

Hi, I would like to know:

If I buy aoe 2 hd can I play with the people in multiplayer, I mean like a rank/ladder system or everybody are on the forbitten expansion. Does the forbitten is only a new campagne or is it important for the multiplayer aspect like broodwar is for sc1.

thank you

I just learned that I have this game, I'm even blown away that I see my post here from two months ago as I completely forgot about this game.

I want to play it but not quite sure if multiplayer is absolutely ruthless or a bit more loose than say StarCraft II

New DLC "Rise of the Rajas" will be available today, featuring four south-east asian civs.

I'm not sure about it. Will probably buy it, but TBH the parts I liked best about the original game (and conquerors) were the campaigns. I wasnt much of fan of the forgotten empires/african kingdoms campaigns, mainly because the initial levels I tried consisted of the AI throwing endless waves of spawned-by-script units at you. The story-telling parts where top quality however. But you just knew that at some point, you would win the scenario, but actually completing everything turned too often into a mindnumbing grind that lasted too long. Maybe I should've played on lower difficulty; also maybe other players do actually enjoy it.

If you do want to play AoC, I would advise you to stay away from Steam HD and go to Voobly instead.

what is the problem with the HD version compared to the original, i assume there must be a reason why people dont switch, beyond stubborness? is the gameplay not a 1:1 match?

IIRC they managed to add additional pathing issues, rather than fix them.

it also performs worse and can be quite laggy


but when you buy the steam edition you buy the voobly edition too because it can be patched plus you get new civs and campaigns if you dont want to play just AoC

Or just enter a cheat code once you know you've won
If you cannot win with 100 apm, win with 100 cpm.

How is the tourney scene for this game? I played in high school but never got to experience high level play. Would love to watch and see how game is played at the top level

There are a lot of show matches and smaller tournaments. If you are talking LAN or big money scale they are quite rare.

I replayed the campaigns in HD and I remembered everything totally differently when I was a kid. It's so freaky.

I want to get good at the game but the mechanics of building selection and attacking is so aggravating versus StarCraft that it's really hard to invest too much time into it. Also buggy with the voobly hack so it's all really a wash. It's still really fun to watch community games though.
There is no one like you in the universe.

The top players are really good, anybody above 2.3k (Voobly rating) executes almost perfectly the BOs, superb macro and micro, and has and extensive knowledge of the game, right now there is a Master of Arabia 2v2, I think they are in round of 16 or 8, and all those teams are performing players with rating of 2.1k+. Tourneys with more than U$10k in the pot are the exception, maybe 2 or 3 yearly but there is always tournies running, just go to www.aoczone.net and look the streaming schedule.

So for anyone interested, there is something important related to the age-of-empiers-franchise coming up at gamescom today, with livestream starting in a little more than one hour here:

Some say it might by aoe4, while others are convinced it is not. Heard some speculation about another aoe2-expansion, but apparently some people who are more into the community think it has to be more than that.

Holy fuck am I pumped. Age of empires IV is something I have wanted for 12 years now! My god I wish they gave more details.
