Original AoE and Transport Tycoon for meAoE II was up there with Civ levels of addiction when I was younger.
This is going to be a bit of a random question.. but is anyone else using the Game Pass version of the game also getting ridiculous amounts of Event Viewer errors when booting the game?
Under Windows Logs > System I get 200+ Warning level Event 51, disk errors with the description "An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk2\DR4 during a paging operation." every single time I start the game.
I was tracing another issue and noticed this. My boot drive is error free so wondering if the game is using some sort of virtual drive for some reason.
Not had any issues at all using the Game Pass version.
Funny as my feelings have gone the other way with this. At first I really liked it, but as time has gone on, I'm bugged by the limits they set. For instance 15 years ago AOE2 had a limit of 250 people. All this time later, and now 200 is the limit. That's a big difference as it means killing half your workers after a certain point just so you can have a decent army. I was expecting 300+, maybe 350 now to be the limit.How are you all getting on? I have completed the Normans campaign and stared the French one, plus loads of games online.
After getting to play it a decent amount my initial feelings have changed and become more positive. Would have still liked better graphics and more innovative gameplay, but can’t complain much about what we got in the end. Maybe they can try and push the envelope in Age of Empires 5.
Agreed. I have beat the AI on every difficulty. As long as you survive the early rush it is super easy after. I read something about them using machine learning or something, but I can't see any of that as no walls or them adapting from what I can see.Funny as my feelings have gone the other way with this.

I want to make my own maps.
Kill the commander is that present? I haven't seen it yet.
Playing against the AI still have the same disappointing game play. At first they are difficult, but eventually, once you get over a certain hurdle, you've clearly won, it's just how quickly can you kill them. They don't make good bases, they don't have the knowledge how to build a defensive base. I wish you could have play styles set for ai to allow different game styles. E.g have one that's super aggressive that just puts all its resources into attacking. Another normal. Another that just defends the hell out of itself. Building walls, with more than just 1 layer. Building towers etc, so that you have to amass a massive army and really struggle to get through.
I’ll be picking this up soon, can not wait. I absolutely loved AoE2, in fact I built a gaming PC again so that I could play DE.
