Ottoman was my best civ, followed by Dutch and British. To begin with though, I just massive jan spammed, and I mean massive. I remember in one game I had a total of 100-130 jans (counting the ones that died, of course) by the end. I progressively got better though, got to the point where I could attack with AT LEAST 20 jans and AT LEAST 10 hussars, plus the benefits from the cards or whatever, by 6 or 7 minutes. But it's been so long since I last played. Hardly doubt I could get near that every time.

I failed hard with Portugese though. I have no idea why.

AoM lasted way longer than Aoe3
Well it did come out before Aoe3. (AoM 2003 > AoE 2005)

But AoE was far more popular as Mythology was just a spin-off game. Although I still am hoping for an Age of Mythology 2, as is the rest of still active AoM community of 10 people. But I doubt we will ever get our wish, even if it is 10 years or so.

RE wasted a huge opportunity when they decided on AoEO. But maybe they are just biding their time until the SC2 frenzy cools down a bit.

I feel AoE was the longest lasting AoE game yet considering it was the only one that had 2 expansions.

well,

1. AoEO is actualy a good move, because downloadable inernet content like that is really popular right now. also competitive AoE was never really a big deal so they dont need to cater to that.

2. i think you think the sc2 frenzzy is more then it really is. RTS is a small comunity to begin with. and sc is only a fraction. there are tons of dedicated aoe players that dont play starcraft. and gamers in general havent really paied much attention to starcraft. just seems like a lot to us because we play it, and watch the videos and our web browers have read our minds and put random pop up links on the sides of normal pages that lead to "starcraft" stuff.

3. an AoM remake would be awesome. thing is though its like a poor mans warcraft 3, which is still played alot. so adding aom 2 to the market would go widely unnoticed, no matter how awesome they would make it.

its seems like RE and AoE are taking a break. Microsoft isnt gonna be pumping alot into the company because they are deffinetly NOT the RTS leader anymore. which i think they kinda were with AoE 2, AoE 3 was not as big of a sucess as it could ahve been. Halo Wars was a strait up flop. and AoEO wont be any bigger then half AoE3 imo.

what i truely see happeing is the compleate closing of RE. moveing Halo Wars and AoEO support to other developers that are working on real projects within microsoft. and then eventually a differant dev team in microsoft (quite a few years down the road) will release an AoE title. just when the RTS market starts to go down hill.

with the release of SC2, WC3 moveing to RPG, and the failure of past ES and CnC games the RTS genera wont see many releases for quite some time (other then the next 2 instalements for starcraft) and then it will be a prime time for a really good AoE to come out. so jsut hold on.


i know this is long and poorly typed, i havent been able to type AT ALL today, you shoud have seen my typos on b.net

AOEO will make a shitload of money for RE, that's the way that games are going nowadays, more and more multiplayer, and RE are trying to attract the very casual gamer. Imo, RE took a long hard look at SC2 and thought they could not compete with it. While I think this is true and SC2 shits on AoE's competetiveness, this does not mean that a new AoE thats to say AoE4, should not be brought out. AoE is a well known title, it is competetive to an extent and enjoyed worldwide to this day ofc. I know (including us) a hell of a lot of AoE3 players that have bought SC2, despite hating sci fi or at least preferring sword and arrow etc, simply because there is no AoE alternative. Tbh, if Microsoft were interested in a sequel to AoE3 (thats right I don't consider AOEO a sequel) then they wouldn;t have shut down ES in the first place. Imo, Microsoft told ES the game that they wanted, ES refused to make this online casual game, and were shut. Those from ES that did want to make this pathetic new AOEO formed RE and began work.

I do well and truly believe that AoE4 is impossible. It will not come out I'm afraid. As things stand, we will be playign SC2 in the years to come. Btw sorry for the typos, longggggggggg day.

And PS: Did anybody know that Zuta now works for Microsoft

(Zuta had an aoe3 acc name callede Zutazuta, he was an active player, palying with the likes of Victor_Swe and Challe at the end of AOE3 in the clan Vengeful Vendetta VV. He also played LoL on the EU servers a while ^^. And Garber, LoL seems quite a popular game amongst ex AoE3 players :P )
