Age of Empires 3 Reflection Thread.
Hello, eso-community. As many of you know, Age of Empires 3 is an ancient RTS video game.
It has been around for 12 years with its last expansion coming out 10 years.
I wanted to make this thread to highlight the ups and downs, bumps in the roads, and milestones of Age of Empires 3 throughout its lifetime.
With Age of Empires 3's remaster, Age of Empires 1's remake, and Age of Empires 4 being announced I think this would be an appropriate time to sit back and reflect on Age of Empire 3's run.
Now, Age of Empires 3 is my first AoE game and i've only played in 2008. Then I proceed to start back in 2014 and then I fully immersed myself in the community by 2017. That leaves my experience and history at nothing.
What are things you want to reflect on that have happened throughout its lifetime? Maybe people like myself will have a better understanding as well before we potentially move onto the newer games, which still might be horrible and deter us far, far away.

What will the most memorable build be when we think back 10 years from now? Russian 5 4 13? Ottoman jan rush? The Samwise-build? ekshbow/piki?

Either India's multiplayer elefant troll strategy or the simple but effective pike-boom.

AOEO was a terrible game and still is. The quest element killed it, I hope they fired the guy who made that idea. I really loved AoE so I was excited when it came out. I went out and bought a copy (it wasn't very explicit the marketing) and then fiddles about with the game for a while. Never redeemed my greek civ because I didn't know how. Lasted 1 hour before I switched back to a different AoE.

AOEO being taken as serious as it is was the most depressing thing to happen to the AOE3 community. I guess people were just dying for something different no matter what! That's the only explanation I can think of.

What I want for a next aoe is just an upgraded engine and maybe a new feature (like the home city was etc). Not a pay to win MMORPG.

That is truly a scary thought to me. If you think about all modern games that thought would scare you also. If they pull off AOE4 in a way like that without it being terrible then I'll be shocked tbh

>mfw AoE IV is just a low budget sham to get people to install Win10
It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. I love the Age series, but I am very skeptical. I am not sure why I am writing this in the first place, but I suppose it is always a great time to express hatred towards Microshit.

I think a really cool person is probably going to port it anyway

We have every right to be skeptical after their past actions in regards to the AoE franchise. I would argue that it is better than way, since it will hopefully make for more accountability.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.

Re: Age of Empires 3 Reflection Thread.
Lol why would Microsoft risk their necks on one of their largest franchises to get people to upgrade their OS?
Re: Age of Empires 3 Reflection Thread.
Having spyware and backdoors on the vast majority of personal computers is probably a lot more valuable than the Age of Empires brand. #worth

literally within an hour of installing Windows 10 yesterday I had to re-install because I got massive adware and viruses but then after many antivirus scans I found out it was the OS.
Re: Age of Empires 3 Reflection Thread.
That's a great antivirus. What's it called?
