Scans from PC Gamer (Februrary) on AoE III.
Yay!
Looks very nice. Hopefully it'll be better than AoM too.
Remember the 'how do you turn this on' cheat? Ahar, excellent.
I usually go for Britons personally. Having a small army of Elite Longbowmen with all archer upgrades is brilliant.
Sometimes went the Byzantines, but their rubbish cataphracts get annoying after a while with their weakness.
Also, much weepage ensues due to remembering all of the special units.
I have 56k. It's a cruel, CRUEL world I tell you!
I'd love to play some of you. I have the most amazing tactics and am pretty versatile with practically any people.
Anyone remember the little leaflet packet that came with the game telling you weaknesses and stuff? That was amazing. I could defeat anyone with it.
My worst enemy when AoE III comes out will be lag.
***********
Teutonic Knights don't own. Longbowmen or whatever they upgrade to were the best. RANGE, baby. Range.
:)
I too spent many hours...sometimes
> even a whole day playing that game.
I spent over a day playing that game in one spell, because my friend came around for a few days. So me and him set up scenarios for each other to complete. They took on average an hour or 2 to make and double that to finish.
:D
So does it say when AoE III is out? Can I play it on a 56k modem? :/

I loved Custom Scenarios (300 hours of those 500 were spent on it :D), however, I also loathed Castle Blood. It's basically Random Map for the stupid. I loved Dome/Archer Blood though.... And RPGs.
Anyone play Black Death Lake for AOK?
Truly fantastic it was.

I hate castle blood. Soooo boring, dunno why everyone loves it.
I used to always play it on my crap computer but games would lag so I had to stop. But now I've got my ace laptop, I never lag and would gladly destroy all your candy asses anywhere, anytime.
