AOE Excitement
You might have seen me online this weekend. I wish it weren't such a rarity. I think I got 8 games in.
I just want to say that, after almost two years, this game still really excites me! I went to bed last night feeling strangely happy after finally getting a good opportunity to play.
What is it about this game? After all this time, it is still fun, enjoyable, refreshing and addictive. I lost more games than I won, but it didn't matter. It was just a blast being online with you all again. I wish it wasn't so hot. I would have been able to turn off the fan and jump on vent.
This is the long way of saying that AOE is truly a unique game. I have been playing video games for over 20 years and nothing has ever held my attention and respect for as long as this one. This is, of course, due in no small part to everyone in this clan. You breathe life and character into what is already a superb game. Here's a shout out to everyone who believes that "an enjoyable gaming experience" means something.
I'm going to start making more time like this to play. It's worth it! I used to love playing in the European evenings. Although that might be a stretch for me these days, I will try my best.
See y'all out there soon. And in those 8 games I played this weekend, I was only German once! A man needs some variety, doesn't he?

Re: AOE Excitement
Kaiser, I completely agree. There is something about this game that is different everytime I play it.
I also had a lot of fun this weekend in the one game we did play together with Nitro on our side. Thought we had lost it and voila they say gg and resign.

Re: AOE Excitement
You make us all very lazy kaiser, no need to make new threads like this, we can just read yours and say +1. Hehe. This game rocks, the most fun game I've played. Oh, and it's especially good in european evenings.

I had a feeling we would turn it around, even though Dan put the raid whammy on me pretty hardcore. Once you started the Old Han lamage, I knew we could do it! Of course, two groups of 40 redcoats and 25 culverins helped a bit, too!
I'm really starting to enjoy walls in 3v3. They at least slow down the oprichniks long enough to get some ruyters over there.

Re: AOE Excitement
Bah we only quit because of the horrendous lag. That game was a stalemate. that wouldn't be resolved inside of an hour. You may of had old han reforms but we had the sea and I had instant inf that could be spawned anywhere on our front and more than enough resources to back it up. Al's economy was the best in the game with mine close second and everyone else trailing behind. If Al hadn't of said he was bored and quit that game would have gone on for a lot longer I promise you.
