2022.......no one.... remembers me

Game fucking sucks and Relic puts out a patch to fix shit every 2 months. Patch inevitably breaks more than it fixes, but devs don't fix the fix and leave it all broken for months on end.

Gamebreaking glitches where Rus were able to simply print relics, Delhi were able to create ICBM spearman, and then Delhi getting their research times broken all lasted for months. In that time the devs just let that shit wreak havoc on the ladder.

Wrong. Unless you're talking about that mod which isn't what people were referencing. There's no built-in scenario editor for the game.

It's official?

>The game is more fun than 2
Yeah I sure love playing every single match one way with each civ.
Isn't it so great to have no micro-able actions in combat so every battle is a mess of blobs attack moving at each other.
I just love water being an objectively broken mess.
Siege being centralizing as shit and also based on the clunky as fuck AOE3 control is SO much fun.

Mod workshop is not the scenario editor you fucking tard.

That's not in-game and it doesn't disprove anything tha tI said, dumb ass. It's also worse than a scenario editor in regards to general accessibility and performance.

The only one's who are gonna kill themselves are the 4fags when their game inevitably drops below 3 in playerbase.

AoE3 is unironically better

There's no way that's going to happen. I know it's shit but I refuse to believe this will happen any time soon.

They set themselves up to fail by covering the same ground as 2, then went ahead with some "minimally-viable product" bullshit. UI is painfully generic, everything feels mushy/unresponsive. The only good part is the sound design.

Because it was shit and uninspiring. It looks like a AoE3 reskin without physics.
Campaign was lucklaster. If you're doing history, you don't make 3 missions and call it a day. You do all historical battles.
For example Rus had no Alexandr Nevsky in the campaign.
But generally, previous games had made up story campaign with VOICE ACTING
The AoE4 had no ship battles at all in the campaign. It was such a lazy concept of a campaign
It's no surprising it shit the bed, I rather play AoE2 or 3

mobile game port. disregard trash return to AoE 1 and Rise of Rome.

Why was this shit even made? This game legitimately does not need to exist. It already has less players than Age of Empires 2 and it hasn't even been a year since it released.

4 will be below 3 within a year. 3 is growing and getting new content regularly. 4 is in absolute freefall with a skeleton crew making things worse instead of better.

AOE2 has absolutely overtaken brood war.

Who had a tournament in an actual European castle last year user? It wasn't Starcraft.

3 should be deleted as well. Anything other than 2 is dogshit.

Just waiting for color selector to pick this up again
I can't stand to play as blue any more

What does it matter if it's ingame, it has scenario editing tools

They released the game in a completely unfinished state and then the devs went on vacation. Everything is broken and bugged to hell and even without the bugs it was super unbalanced. Siege weapons felt more like modern day tanks than immobile siege engines. They moved fast, had lots of health and did a ton of damage. Basically the core game design that relies on the Horsemen /Archer/Spearman counter triangle went out the window because you could just build 10 mangonels and obliterate anything. Every match became the same thing. No variety in strategies. It's just whoever builds a deathball of siege units first wins because nothing counters it. I think they nerfed siege in a recent patch but I can't be bothered to go back and play again. Like 6 fuckin months of siege spam while the devs pumped out 1 tiny update every two months just soured me on the game. I have no faith for its future. Games like this get stale fast and the devs are slow as fuck. Especially when you have games like LoL where shit is being added and buffed and nerfed like every 2 weeks and the meta is always shifting, you can't expect people to play Age of Mangonels for months on end.
