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.

Well, purely because Cossacks has loads more soldiers, means that it's more tactical in the sense that one catapult can't wipe out 1/20 of your army in one shot.

Also, the weaknesses and strengths aren't emphasised enough.

The game they use for Time Commanders is far more tactical, but I far prefer AoE for enjoyment.

I can't believe you haven't played it 'til now.

Amazing game.

Sadly doesn't quite have the tactical side of other games.
