    Honestly, it was the clickbaity title :)

    But also it was a good reason to see the remake. I played a bit of AoM back in the day, but didn’t really click with the Age games. I like RTS games though, mostly C&C and Warcraft. I loved Rise of Nations, which feels very similar to the Age games.

      Ha! Glad the title worked. I normally abhor clickbait, so I spent a while trying to come up with a title that got across how utterly incredible it felt to watch this game (I was watching it live on Survivalist’s stream, and then switched over to Boit’s which was on a 30 minute delay), while being accurate and telling you what you were going to see. I thought I managed to get both of those better than the official title on YouTube, which is simultaneously both less sensational and less informative IMO.

      I played a bit of Warcraft 3 a few years back. Never played any other games in the franchise, but 3 was really fun while I was playing it. I played Night Elves mainly, but dabbled a few times in Undead. Unfortunately never played any Rise of Nations or Empire Earth, but both of those are games I’d really love to see a Definitive Edition of; I’d definitely try them out if that came out. One of those would be 2nd on my list of desired game remasters, just behind Battle for Middle-Earth 2.
