Everyone should try AoE2 and 4, they are amazing games.

Love this game, both playing it and watching it being streamed, there is a great tournament happening at the moment.

I love the competitive scene of this game, it has such an uncommon mix of players from all ages, backgrounds and vibes. And even if you are not familiar with the game at the beginning, the historical setting makes it easier to understand it and get into it ... You don't need to know exactly what a castle does in the game to know that having a castle built near you is a bad thing and stuff like that.

Also because of how the gameflow works, comebacks from near death are so common.

I just bought it a few weeks ago, and started playing it again few days ago. As good as I remember so far :).

Still prefer 3, less micromanaging and more fightin’ :)
