After playing about 12 games with the demo, I'm back to where I was before the demo came out: excited as all get out about AOE 3.
Like a lot of others here I was scratching my head over some design decisions and was mumbling to myself about ES because of some of the bugs, but now I'm hyped again.
The game seems sweet and as an old AOE 2 player (played some MP over the weekend, as a matter of fact) AOE 3 seems like a worthy successor.
