II is vastly differen to III. They both have their pros and cons. I prefer III.

You started playing yet? what's your username we can play some together if you like.

Not started yet. Will probably be tomorrow now.

Blind

There is like two of them. One called The Art of War and other one inside Tools.

I like many others are having performance issues, apparently they are working on a fix. Going from High to Low settings does not make any difference to fps, so definitely a bug.

Ah thank you!

It runs fine on my 2080ti @ 3950x, strange.

I don't know why but I just don't enjoy ao3. Ao2 was a great game and the definitive edition made it better. I never liked 3 back when it first game out and some reason I still don't but I can't figure out why.

Play the story mode, good so far very Dan browny

Don't recall ever playing AOE 3 at all. Definitely remember 1&2. Perhaps I did get to play 3 but I can't remember it, or if indeed I did play it maybe I didn't like it. On Microsoft store freepass so perhaps time to try it out. Is it like AOE 2 at all?

MikeB · 17 Oct 2020 at 19:11

Same principles but more straight forward, for example you don’t need 10 farms, just 1 with ten people on it

I was so hyped for this new release, I use to play AOE3 when it first came out.... not played for about 8 or 10 years then this came along, jumped straight on it!

I'm the opposite, love III, dislike II. So far loving the DE, so much nostalgia.

Another DLC with 2 new African civs.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1581451/Age_of_Empires_III_DE__The_African_Royals/

Will wait for at least a 50% off sale and pick it up together with the USA DLC.
