AOE2(conquers)is my all time favorite game well tied with Zero Hour anyways. I was wondering how do you like AOE 3 up against AOE 2(conq.) IM afraid to play AOE 3 since i don't want it to taint my view of AOE2. I saw some screen shots of this game and I got ot say I wouldn't buy it if not for AOE 2. So how do you guys rank it among the other "age of" series?
Thanks

It's a fun game but it is definitely lacking in polish. There's all these weird little things that would apparently make no sense at all, e.g. only two teams possible, the fact that damage does not show up in the minimized UI, the whole recorded game thing, the lack of a true rating system, the fact that the stupid chatting things take up the whole screen, the apparent pointlessness of trample damage.... I could name off others but those are the first things that come to my head.

Unfortunately AoE3 hasn't quite lived up to its predecors, at least in my opinion. Of course, AoC was a great game, I think possibly the best RTS game of its time, so it would be very hard to make a game to compare. AoE3 is still a good game though, and it will be better once they tweak all the initial bugs.
