age of empires

[mabrignani]

best RTS game ever, and prob best computer game ever

anyone still or use to play?

[baseline bum]

Which one? I used to love AOE2 and its expansions.

[mabrignani]

i just found 1 & 2 in an old cd case and just started playing again. there are some lobbies on voobly.com that have like 1,000 ppl playin on aoe2

[mabrignani]

apparently voobly is the new microsoft gaming zone that allowed multiplayer online games through aoe

[AussieFanKurt]

used to play 2 so much, and the expansion. so much fun

[Creepn]

I will give it a try. I did enjoy Lords of the Rings and Halo wars. Is the online community still booming? I stopped playing the other games because the numbers dwindled.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

:lol I was addicted to AOE2. I don't even wanna know how many hours I spent playing that game. There's a site where you can download it for like $5 but my life would become a lot less productive. Empire Earth was another good one tbh.


Also...

:lol Algeria
:lol terrorists

[mabrignani]

:lol Algeria
:lol terrorists

age of empires II is basically the same as AOE I tbh, not much change to be noticed tbh. shit is one of the best video games and i used to play it A LOT but there're still some other real time strategy games which some people would argue are the best of all, such as red alert series, WoW etc...

im more addicted to grand strategy games though, like heart of iron series for example, or some round-based games like panzer general.

[mabrignani]

The way my friend explained it, WoW isn't a RTS

But yeah, I was a fan of the command & conquer series, more specifically red alert....that hangs with aoe

[NASpurs]

I was more of a Civilization fan than AOE tbqh.

[InRareForm]

Damn, I spent countless hours on the original AOE.

Those firing horsemen archers were sick..., i forgot what civ had rapid fire on that shit lol

[Blake]

Lol I wasted many hours on AOE and all the expansions.

I think Empire Earth isn't quite as good play-wise, but being able to build airports and drop nukes made it worthwhile

[Blake]

Damn, now I'm going to have play AOE later.

[The Reckoning]

lol thinking wow is the same as WC.

wacraft 2 and 3 were the shit! command and conquer: generals. Civ 3 and 4. Rome and Medival Total War.

pretty much my childhood and up until high school id just smoke pot and play that shit all day. damn i had a great childhood.

[lebomb]

Used to play online at work (lunch time). We had a team from work, and would play other crews. It was cool.

[lebomb]

Damn, I spent countless hours on the original AOE.

Those firing horsemen archers were sick..., i forgot what civ had rapid fire on that shit lol

Yeah, but the damn mastodon elephants could wreck shop too!!!!

[illusioNtEk]

I play AoE 3 on the daily bases...

anybody eles play? we should get some games together :)

[Clipper Nation]

Age of Empires was cool, but SimCity was the shit, tbh....

[Bynumite]

Sim City was alright but i started with plans to create an utopia and always ended up with a shit hole, filled with poverty, areas with no basic needs and debt. I had fun destroying cities with natural disasters though.

Age of Empires 2 was the shit back in the day, also enjoyed Age of Mythology from the same studio.

[stretch]

Used to love AOE 1 and 2. However, Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds is basically a better version of AOE 2.

I still play AOE 2 and Galactic Battlegrounds online from time to time.

[stretch]

Damn, I spent countless hours on the original AOE.

Still, pretty much nothing could beat the Choson, because they had long range towers to defend your city, and fully upgradable Legions with 2x HP. Combine that with logistics, and you had a swarm of 350+ Legions with high HP count. Basically impossible to stop a massive swarm like that.

CHoson were fucking hard to stop... I forgot what the counter was... it's been so long? I remember you basically had to fight choson versus choson and be sure to attack first

Basically you just had to hope you could get to them before they get to you. But that's hard because of their long range ballista towers.

[Blake]

Which game is the one with the long range archers? Was that on one of the expansions?

[InRareForm]

Age of kings I think you are thinking of.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Since we're getting all nostalgic and shit, anyone remember Red Alert: Command and Conquer?

Sounds right.

they were killed easy, but you get a big group of them and they were big fun taking out towers and such

Remember all the C&C series well -- interesting plots and music on top of good game-play will do that, I guess.

I was always into TBS more than RTS games, though -- Alpha Centauri, Jagged Alliance, Age of Wonders, Heroes of Might and Magic 3...

[Proxy]

Britons Long bowmen all day...

robin hood, lumberjack, rock on, cheese steak jimmy's, how do you turn this on, aegis

[jjktkk]

Great game, but yea, you waste a whole day playing AOE.

[InRareForm]

Hopefully when I get Old and frail, I can reinstall and play it in my nursing home room.
