[Plubby]

TAKE MAH MONNAAYYYYYYY!

HD

Multiplayer

Multi-fun!

It's exclusive to steam and can be pre-ordered from now for 10% off, I believe. Steam link: http://store.steampowered.com/app/221380/

Oh fuck off Steam. I hate buying things on Steam only.

[METALMAN]

Oh I LOVED this game. I remember going to this from Age of Empires I. It felt like the future!

I still think it's probably the best in that genre. I'll need to get this!

[Sousa]

Oh man oh god oh man.

So on board with this. Fuck Starcraft, AoE2 is the pinnacle of the RTS genre in my view. I might get the package with AoE3 in it (which I've never actually played) just for the hell of it.

[Plubby]

A man after my own heart, Sousa

[apsham]

I probably spent more time overall on AOE: Gold but AOE2 was the absolute shit. I think I remember it being one of the first things that I absolutely HAD to have.

[Nerf]

Age of Mythology next plz

[Skummy]

Holy shit. Might have to cave and get a Steam account.

[King Ellis]

No, Skummy! You are still pure! Don't bring your untainted wallet into this hell!

[The Quasi Juice]

Oh god the monks in the end almost made me immediately buy it

[Skummy]

To be fair, the main reason I don't have a Steam account is because I don't fully understand what Steam is.

[Universal]

Heard about this today. I was just thinking "I don't know of any more games I need to buy anytime soon" but I have to buy this. I've been waiting for this for like 10 years. There has never been a Real Time Strategy I enjoyed more than this one. Not even close.

For those still sitting on the fence about buying this - a reminder that it's released in a little under two weeks, but if you pre-order it, it's available early: one week from today!

[Sousa]

And you can play with me and Plubby.

[TEOL]

And me.

And I'm way cooler than those guys.

[Sousa]

To be frank, you'll probably all destroy me because

A. I haven't played in years, and

B. I was never really that good at it (my THROW HUSKARL WAVE AT BAD GUY strategy is pretty one-dimensional)

[Plubby]

That is my entire strategy.

EDIT: Sometimes I change it up and use Halberds if i'm too lazy to go mine gold.

Huskarls + Anarchy + Gothic bonus to infantry production + Online team bonus to infantry production = BUILD BARRACKS NEXT TO THING YOU WANT TO DIE

Oh, I had that going against the AI recently. They were churning out almost as fast as I could click it.

[Sousa]

It's really effective unless the enemy builds a single Paladin or siege engine.
