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 )

[Hellios]

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

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 ... 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 .. 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.
