>one has fun but mediocre AI that's approachable no matter what>one has a braindead AI on easy and a complete monster unbeatable AI on everything harder than thatguess which one is dead
>>236143123k vs 12k 24h peak btw
>>2361431It’s almost like single player is a lot more than AI quality. 4 has way fewer missions to play and the quality of them is only above the absolute bottom tier of AoE2 campaigns.2 is just a better single player experience
AoE4 has atrocious AI no matter what. I have no idea what you are talking about.
>>2361431A good thing about 2 is that it runs on a potato. 4 could've been twice as popular if they optimized it a little.
>>23615944 looks like mobile chink dogshit and runs like RTX enabled AAA slop
>>2361594fr fr aom retold and aoe3 look better
i just prefer how aoe2 looksi guess i'm one of those boomers because homm3 also looks better than any of the later entries or olden era to me too
>>23619612D often looks better than 3D in top down/isometric view for these kind of games
>>2361431>2>mediocre AIIt's literally the best AI of any RTS ever.It doesn't cheat, provides a real challenge at the highest levels while also providing an adequate challenge for casuals.
>>2362046dunno about that unc. seem just like every other ai in rtsaoe4 for sure looks bad and soulles but i will say it: asymmetry is the secret sauce. thats what tickles my autism. oh my science bless relic for ditching the mechanically identical civs
>>2361961AoE3 looks like ass, but that's the least of it's problems. It's just not a fun game since all units look the fucking same.AoE2 and AoE4 are good, don't care about AoM.
>>2362040Which is funny because both aoe2 and homm3 use prerendered 3d models
>>2362091desu homm3 units mostly look like ass compared to homm2
>>2362134You have got to stop smoking crack cocaine.
got that itch to play something bronze age themed, and I’ve heard this game might actually be worth giving another shot. in my case it’d be a first shot, since I completely missed it when it came out. I’m thinking about trying it out so what are the honest pros and cons?
>>2362166nah
>>2362046Annoys me that whenever someone has a gripe with RTS AI some cockslurper will inevitably go>every AI cheats bro it would be too easy if it didn't just lrn how 2 exploit itAoE2:DE is proof that you can make good AI if you just dedicate time to it. But most devs are lazy and will just give them essentially infinite resources.I'm playing CoH2 and trying to save up for one tank while the AI is shitting out literally dozens of them, no concern for resources or population caps, it's a pure battle of attrition.
>>2361431imo the thing that makes vs AI gameplay more enjoyable in AOE2 instead of AOE4 is the scenario settings. Being able to limit the age and population make all the difference. No idea why they removed these always present features in AOE4.
>>2361431what are the best missions and scenarios in ao2de?
>>2363125Genghis Khan and El Cid are the best classic ones imo, you should start there
>>2362267What about this MS-Paint tier image is supposed to make it better than 3's? The only thing 2 has going for it is the music, everything else is way below 3.
>>2363182well ive just finished the bukhara one with the persians....what a dogshit scenario. endless fucking hunnic spam, got tired after an hour and used me handy how do i turn this on command. i feel like most missions are dogshit in this game
>>2363335>The only thing 2 has going for it is the musici remember putting the homm2 cd in my cd player and the ost would play as music tracks. the sorceress town theme is kino
I prefer 4 but 2 has way more content , it's only natural.
>>2365082I prefer 2 because 4 filtered me.
>>2361594>A good thing about 2 is that it runs on a potatoThat's why 2 is more popular. Brown developing worlders can't run 4 on their toaster PCs. >>2361474
>>2365133let's see your specs
>>2362183for bronze age theme play dominions 6 in the early age instead, thank me later
