  1. I know this isn't the famous "Definitive Edition" of AoE II - which is also great! - but I'm still in love with this game in its original version and form. Looking at this at an aspect ratio of 4:3 running on Windows 95 just feels right in so many ways! And it still plays great!

    P.S. I'd like to give a shout out to the development team of 86Box. You guys are keeping my childhood computers alive. Thank you!

  2. Wow, #AgeOfEmpiresII is 25 years old this year. That's insane to think about. I played it a bit, but RTS games were never really my thing. I was more a turn-based person, so it was Civilisation and SimCity for me. Still, who hasn't heard of #AgeOfEmpires? It was influential for lots of reasons, as this article points out: theguardian.com/games/2024/oct

  7. When it comes to #RTS #games, only the #AgeOfEmpires series is actively supported and lively right now. Mainly #AOE2 and #AOE4. And don't even mention #Blizzard's #StarCraft 2. They said years ago that they stopped supporting it. No more content, funding or anything... meanwhile AOE2 keeps getting constant patching and DLCs even tho' the basegame is over 20 years old. Now that's commitment!

  8. Age of Empires 2 gets another expansion 25 years later, and deservedly so - Enlarge / A battle between Ragnar Lothbrok and Oda Nobunaga was unlikel... - arstechnica.com/?p=2005903 #realtimestrategygame #realtimestrategy #ageofempires2 #ageofempires #microsoft #gaming #rts

  12. Hidden Cup V is starting! The most interesting Age of Empires 2 tournament is back again and I'm so excited for it.

    The qualifiers were full of exciting matches and can't wait to see what the main event brings.

  13. Hidden Cup 5 is coming!

    I love this format. 8 players but nobody knows who is who as they are secretly assigned role names so as a player, you don't know who you are playing so you can't prepare for their style. As an audience member, you don't know so you can keep guessing and trying to figure it out.

    And it's casted by the best Age of Empires 2 caster T90.

  14. #AgeOfEmpires 3 Definitive Edition just went #FreeToPlay! It's not the full version but there's a portion of the campaign and you can try out different civs each week.

    #AOE3 was a hidden gem if you ask me. A black sheep oftentimes considered to be in the shadows of its predecessor, #AOE2.

    I still think aoe2 is objectively better, but aoe3 is still a lot of fun and definitely worth checking out!

    I actually liked it more than #AOE4.

  16. Feeling mighty smug after getting back into age of empires, and getting called a cheater for my mad skills 😆

  17. I've loved #RealTimeStrategy (#RTS) games ever since I was a little kid. I'm not counting in #RTSGames that don't have base building (so not #DawnOfWar2 for instance...).
    #StarCraft, #WarCraft, #AgeOfEmpires, #CommandAndConquer, #TotalAnnihilation and others.
    Wasn't a huge fan of #RelicEntertainment RTS games because the squad mechanics aren't to my liking.
    #AgeOfEmpires4 has been made by #Relic but it seems different compared to #CompanyOfHeroes and #DawnOfWar and that's a good thing.
