Mogs AoE
It doesn't mog AoE or people would have actually played it. It's a really good and interesting game though, it owes more to Civ than it does age of Empires, shame its mechanics were never really replicated elsewhere
>>2343721>AoEI haven't played that one, but RoN (with T&P expansion) has good campaigns. Or at least they were likable in 00s.
Mogs RoN
>>2343721Didn't the developer went on to make Facebook-tier games after this?

>>2344036Based take.
>>2343721Somewhat agree. The territory/attrition mechanic and the control of various strategic resources is an improvement.
RoN is failed because it took an uninteresting AoE clone and an uninteresting Civ clone and tried to mash them together. The basic mechanics are just boring to play, the maps are barren, the music and sound is super low quality, and the campaigns are a total drag. I'm convinced that RoN fans are the kind of people who pick the biggest map in AoE, the easiest AI, and then still spend two hours building their base before moving out.

>>2343721You mean AoE1?Sure
>>2344040The developer got cheated out of profits from the game (Microshit claimed it made none), so left the company and said "fuck it".Literally all game dev tied to Microsoft has this story to share for the 2nd half of 00s

>>2343996AoE is supposed to be "Warcraft Meets Civilization" according to its devs.AoE leans a lot more into Warcraft while RoN leans a LOT more into Civ.
>Soviet espionage mission to flip South Africa into a Soviet client state>Success means the USSR gets China>not as a client state but as a core provinceUnironically what did the devs mean by this
>>2343721>played WW2 conflict with friendskino of the highest order
>>2357736I remember as a kid timing it perfectly to ensure total Soviet domination, felt epic man
>>2357553Best RTS soundtrack of all time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18xusjopmKE+ pretty comfy base building. Great fun to be had at the pre-modern campaigns but just ignore everything past Enlightment age.
