Morons. AoE3 is amazing and gets shit on for no good reasons. AoE1 is exactly what not aging well looks like coupled with a shitty re-release. I’ve always felt AoE2 is mega overrated. I have played hundreds of hours of all of the main games and AoM.

I genuinely do love AoE2 and would rate it among my favourite games of all time, but yeah I think it gets a little overrated.

4 is better, IMO, and Myth is just great.

The AoE2 community gets pretty damn toxic if you dare suggest that, though. Or even if they get a whiff that you might be saying good things about other Age games at all.
