does anyone have Age of Empires 3 and plays on ESO??
im kinda bored with it and dont know what civ im good at. I just wounder if anyone has it and would like to play against/with me at anytime.
Valbrandr you probably have it already and are pro at it like you are at AOE II :)

I have AOE3 but haven\'t tried any online play yet. I am not sure what\'s involved with setting up on ESO and want to finish the missions first ( I\'m on 3rd mission in act 3 ). But if I can get it setup online I\'m open to taking on a few people :).

I have it..yet to play online. I don\'t seem to have the \"l33t skillz\" yet. And I could own Val in AOE II anyday. ( Hi Val :) )

hey there arnt many \"L33T\" people on AOE III yet. I ave been playing for about a week. I got a lvl 14 dutch and lvl 3-4 the rest of the civs. I win a pitiful 38% of my games.
Acraig: the 3rd act is my favorite.Ive finished the campaign. Im gunna try it on hard now :)

Yeah, I\'ve got it. Still playing the singleplayer missions atm, but I\'ll start trying out multiplayer soon. I\'ll probably be pro at it as I am with most games :D

Actually I bought AOE III during the first week it came out.. and had soo many problems trying to get it to work. I joined their forums and they couldnt help me.. Finally Myself and Ind completely redid my computer and surprisingly it worked :)... only to be later dissapointed. I guess there is just a reason I like the second one.. and when you move away from it (Medieval Warfare) then its not nearly as interesting for me. I had to buy it because AOE II is extremly awesome... sadly I dont think AOE III is better then the second one... AOE II just needs more Civs and a graphical update would be nice but is really not needed. BTW from the main Age of Kings forum there is a visual pack being worked on by the AOE II community that will help out on new maps and better overall graphics :D... But yeah I was dissapointed in the third ones attempt making more of a cross between Cossasks and Rise of Nations. Bottom line.. for such a great series like AOE.. never release it early. I was amoung thousands who were having troubles. And 2 patches have already been released for the game :P.. one in the first week the other a couple weeks later. Neither of them helped me though :(

AOE is the elder scrolls of rts\'s (well, maybe c&c is too...) never ruch it, work with it till it\'s done, no matter what the players say, and don\'t cut features. We\'d really rather wait a few months than have stuff cut out or unpolished.
That\'s why dos games were so good I think, most were small enough that you could make a decent one in 6 months, including time to polish it up. Or else many were a labor of love by their creators, the equivalent of mount and blade nowadays. Fun to play already, but nowhere near finished, and constantly updated.
