After completely ignoring PC gaming upto tonight I decided to grab AoE2 from my mate. From starting the game iv'e just stopped at the last training mission and that was a 10.00pm. On the few RTS games I have played I like to be thorough and this is no exeption. On the last training mission I did (capture 3 relics) I found myself attacking the good ol' brits with over 80 soldiers which was really fun.
So yes great game so far and didn't make my eyes bleed like I was expecting.

Perhaps for £50 you could get something. Also make sure you have your graphics acceleration set to the max.

Another realism/tactical problem is that at times you were relying on one unit at a time slowly generating (click, click, click, click, click) and trotting off to battle, instead of drawing up troops and using them as an army, if you know what I mean.
I love seiging towns and using mini-tactics which AoE was perfect for.,

It's been out for quite a while. Can't remember what it's called. Requires a beast of a computer though.

I got bored of AOEII. Defending was always so much better than attacking, yet you had to attack.
And I was too young to appreciate the 'strength/weakness' thing - I just tended to wade in and get pi*sed off.

Ah yes, I was wondering when that Time Commando's thing would get a release.
