Title: Age of Empires III

So, how many of you still play AoE 3? And do you play it online?

 I've been thinking of getting this for a while, but I don't have any money atm, so I'll have to wait...

I stopped playing AoE with AOK:TC (also avidly played AoE and RoR).

For me RoR was the best genre and era to play and it'd be great to use the latest engine and re-do that. Gunpodwer Civ's ruined it for me.

Haven't really looked into AoE 3 so know little about it.

I didn't really play RoR or AoE 1 much, mainly AoE 2 and it's exp pack...

 And I'm kinda looking forward to gunpowder... I've always had a thing for the basic gunpowder technology in games ^^.

Guns and other such modern nonsense is for wusses. Swords, axes, maces etc. ftw! Brute force! none of that, uuuh I don't wanna get to close to the enemy, because then I could get hurt. you can with guns aswell ofc, but with guns you keep distance and can fight from a hideout.. close combat is the thing :D

Aye, you wanna be able to look into your foes eyes, so that he knows you're the one who killed him! It's a way of saying we're all equal as men, except I'm slightly more equal, 'cause I'm alive and you're dead.

 Also, dropping a nuke on them from 50,000 feet is also totally acceptable! 'Cause let's face it... there's just not enough time in this busy world to show everyone the courtesy of a good strangling.

i played the first couple of campaigns on Age of Empires III and i hated it, Age of Mythology was the best game, then it went downhill after the expansion. :angry:

Age of Empires III is awesome!!!! I played it for about 6 months, graphics are awesome if you got a good gfx card and multiplayer gameplay is awesome. I hit a 1st Leutenant after like 2 months :P Does anyone still play it then???

Brought it thinking this might be a good game, played it for half hour, lost interest, and fell asleep, not played it since, IMHO it doesn't touch Total War (Rome and Medieval II) I quite liked AOE I and II. shame really :sideways:

looks like everyone has a different opinion on it, and its down to personal choice at the end of the day, my only advise is try before you buy, download the demo ! :)

'Tiss a great game, I agree. Poke those mortals with my angry finger, make them a tiny red dot on the monitor! !_! (< Don't ask, I must have had too much Coffee :woot2:, :taz: , -_- The three stages of Coffee.)
 
I love the fact that you get god like advantages/powers. :norty:
 
Age of empires II is pretty good, if the graphics were a bit better, it'd be great, and this is where AOC III comes in, great game - from what i've seen - and I would well recommend it!

 How can you say that of a game that was out before/just after Diablo 1? >_<. Graphics shouldn't make a difference to how good a game is (with the exception of FPS'), and with RTS I find the generally get in the way (all this mucking about with 3D camera angles gets tiresome).
