Just got AoE2HD+The Forgotten expansion, plan on playing a few game there until AoM expansion is released. If any of you played both AoM and AoE2, which civ do you guys think is similar to Loki, Isis and Set?

None really, but the easiest to learn is probably the Huns because they don't need houses.

I actually prefer having houses.... They make nice walls... i dunno.

Aoe2 is very different to aom, cube. Go to aoczone.net and watch some streams.

Here is my opinion, no offense for aoe2 players :) :

I tried to play aoe 2 ( conquecors and forgoten empires not HD) recently, it was really different from AoM
Graphics didnt bother me , its an old game afterall.
I didnt like the the interface; ctrl groups( aom ones are definitely better) and had troubles with hotkeys since there is two types of buildings economic and military, tried to make similar hotkeys to aom but still was doing poopie .
I think builds are all the same for each civ.
Too much military units and combos. This..Brain fruited me!had no idea which combo is worth
Games are longer , but you wont feel it untill you check the time.
Was bored after a couple of games and missed Aom :wub: , maybe cuz i played in a noobish level lol

edit: scouting is broken 11

@Cube - you shoot the boar twice then run back to your tc for the other vills to shoot it and kill it. Unless you're pro, you should probably research "loom" at your tc before you shoot the boar (makes vills stronger). Also, something that I find EXTREMELY STUPID is that you need to drop off every resource before you click a villager to gather something different, otherwise all of the resources he's holding will be deleted. Makes sense when switching from food/wood or something, right? Well it also happens when you switch a villager from hunt to farming, or something like that. You'll lose so much food sometimes if you don't forcedrop vills.

Shift clicking sucks, but you can still do it. Idk... it's really buggy and temperamental

Units die SUPER fast compared to aom, and the counters are uber harsh, too. Be prepared for this. So - as a loki player you can spam FU ulfs lategame vs hypaspists and actually hold a location, right? Not in aoc!

Be wary of some specific upgrades at the university. You'll quickly see which ones are relevant to what when watching streams, but ya, there are very important ones
for archers/boats/etc.

Often times siege sucks way bad early in the game. You just gotta be able to protect rams when trying to attack early vs a castle or something.

There's an upgrade at your market that gives you LOS with your teammates. Took me a bit to figure that one out.

You can't trade with yourself to produce gold. None of the resources are infinite.

Look on Voobly for the guide on patrolling. You need to use it.

also you have to make army one by one on each barrack,stable....cant gc them all at one as in aot.....also if you try build aemy by 5 stables at a time with shift only one stable will produce army....for barracks etc too
and theres a code that gives you cars....they kill fast!! xD

I tried to play this, but for some reason I get incredible lag. I can run aot fine, but this lags, even in single player. Is there some setting I am missing, or pretty common?

I already got a refund on this game, going from AoT to AoE2HD, lol feels like an unfinished game.

I might get Rise of Nation, the graphic look nice but decided to wait since ToTD will be released soon. Actually, it's been pushed back another week to the 28th. :(
