Knights and Merchants was great.

I can also remember really enjoying the campaign from Empire Earth, and recently I've really enjoyed Medieval Total war 2. Though that is more of a turn-based/real-time mix than a true RTS.

Also not a classic RTS but my all time favorite strategy game anyway: Europa Universalis

The Total War series will always captivate me, especially Rome Total War. If you have any interest history and/or alternative history, you can't get much better.

Stronghold 2 is most definitely an awesome game. It felt so small-budget, yet so interactive and complex.|

My is to why AOE2 is a much better then AOE1

-Building are to sacle (AOE1 chariot was almost as big as a wonder LOL!!
-It allowed you to play in the campaign beside the colour blue
-Romans as Blue LOL!!enough said
-AOE1 lack the ability to que up units (Except for the expansion the Rise of Rome)
-It also lack the Idle villager button
-Its such a noobfest i remeber back in 2007 we where playing LAN and people where using so many cheats Big daddy pow photon man just to name a few.
-AOE1 lack Gates the second alowed for gates to be built you can unlock and lock them when you pleased
-AOE1 lack an exstreme long range unit AOE2 had the Trebuchet
-Armored elephants(Espically the Carthagianian ones) where completly overpowered
-In AOE2 every faction speaks in thier own native laungage giving it more a personality and authenicity instead grunt noise in AOE1 E.g Britions speaking English,Goths and Teuntons speak German.
-In AOE2 every faction has their own unique unit sometimes 1 sometimes 2
-AOE2 has the ability to give your troops a type of formations there are atleast 4 to choose from.
-AOE1 had a very low Population Cap only 50

Do you know what a sequel is? Did you know that AoE2 was released 2 years after AoE1? Do you think that gaming companies aren't improving the game throughout the series or at least try to?

AoE1 was amazing for its time.
TWO FEKKING YEARS
AoE2 was amazing for its time.

Comparing those two games like they were released at the same time is just stupid. And as always your reasons are full of irrelevant crap.

Some arnt E.G C&C4 and SC2

The drop in quality from C&C3 to C&C4 was quite staggering a 2007 game vs a 2010 game and LITERLARRY have less then half the features or content it was rushed way to quickly.

AOE1 was SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVAERAGE for its time
AOE2 was WELL ABOVE AVERAGE for its time
Ensemble studios were still trying find their charm even after AOE1 a bit like Blizzard(WHICH THEY LOST WHEN SC2 came out) with Warcraft: Orc and Humans Warcraft 2 was way better for its time then Warcraft 1 and it was only release about 1 year later.

You just like fighting for the sake of it even you agree the AOE2 is better then AOE1.


Hm. Tough one. I'll go with Age of Empires 2.

This, I think. The cardinal sin I committed with these games was playing AOE2 first. Age of Empires 1 may have had a wonderful campaign and whatnot (from what I've heard from other sources, it did) but I couldn't enjoy the game, at all, after having been spoiled by AOE2's superior gameplay.

...Or it could really just suck horribly, I don't know. =) Another game where the gameplay has been ruined by the future is the first Command & Conquer, although that one's still enjoyable thanks to the utterly hilarious and awesome mission briefings.

Dude, nobody cares if you compliment them one day, and act like an ass towards them, the next. I'm sure Kris thought it nice of you to compliment him in a PM, but that doesn't mean he has to agree with everything you'll ever say, with fear that you might start thinking ill of him again. A compliment is something you say as a nice gesture towards people you like, not a mean of blackmail, which you threaten to pull away immediately when the person disagrees with you. That's just low.

You blame everybody else for being rude, yet you fail to notice what everybody's trying to point out to you: That you're the rudest person, yourself! Either you are deliberately missing the point, or you really can not see what you are doing, and need some sort of treatment for your problems.
