However, there are a LOT of people who can't get it to work. For starters, there are way too many different community-made patches and it's not clear which one you should get. After that, it's annoying getting multiplayer going. This HD remaster negates both of those problems; this is what a lot of people were waiting for. I hope Forgotten Empires gets on Steam Workshop. Are you saying you'd rather spend 20 bucks than spend 10 minutes figuring out how to set up a game? | ||

If you are just planning on playing the campaigns, sure...it's easy just download Age FE or a decent fan made patch but I think what he is trying to convey is that there are too many fan patches out there which unfortunately fractures the community. Not only that but you also can't really play any multiplayer properly (unless you want to exclusively play with your friends or alone). Voobly enables optimized resolutions for rated multiplayer but you have to pay for a membership which...coincidentally costs 20$ lol. Whereas game ranger is often empty and its hard to find games there (compared to voobly). I think what we all want is an Age II game that can run properly, without hassle and comes with a decent (or excellent *crosses fingers*) multiplayer. This alone would make me dish out 20$ instantaneously. | ||

Forgotten Empires mod has new civs and assets as well as native wide screen support, and best of all its free! Though on the other hand buying this might call for aoe4 if sales do well, which is highly unlikely after the last half-assed aoe... not naming any names.. | ||

Also, those farms in the screenshot look worse than anything in the original game. | ||

FE still needs a copy of AoE2 to install, hopefully one obtained through legit means. Steam and Workshop integration tease my interest for this HD enhancement. $20 is a bit steep, so I might wait until a sale when it goes down to $10 or $5. | ||

It's a mod that I still have to buy the actual game for. I guess I could spend $5 at a Wal-Mart to pick up a physical AoEII disk. Or I could wait until a Steam sale and buy the HD edition possibly for $5. And I assume that Workshop integration will make modding more convenient for AoEII HD, so I expect FE to be made compatible for AoEII HD as well. I think AoEII HD with FE may be way better than regular AoEII with FE. | ||
