Anyone actually play this?
Feels a bit underrated, its a pretty damn good expansion.
Also, what's the deal with releasing an expansion for an old game?, it didn't really 'revive' the playerbase.

no

Yes, it's probably the second most fun RTS to play with friends, behind Brood War

Was Portugal an African Kingdom?

africa begins at the pyrenees

So what are the new factions, are they balanced?
Been thinking of grabbing this since i loved the other expansions.

Dude fuck the meme. Coming from someone who's been playing AoE from the very start, I find this to be a great expansion, that adds some great civs and guess what, it adds fucking balance to the game.

i really wish they would fix the bugs in campaign

That guy doesn't really represent Portugal does he?

Alright, how are the campaigns? bari was fucking Dante Must Die Mode and Dracula was fucking great

Portugal is the king to the right.

Who? The middle guy? I think he's supposed to represent the Berbers. Guy on right is obviously Portuguese.

I fucking loved AoE II, is III any good?

3 is garbage

>what's the deal with releasing an expansion for an old game?, it didn't really 'revive' the playerbase

Its literally a free fan mod for the original Age2 so they struck a deal with the modders and sold it for extra cash in age 2 HD.

only good thing 3 had was the naval combat, that shit was great

>tfw no remastered AoE 1
I just want it to get ported to AoE 2 engine.
Bronze and Iron Age settings are GOAT

So, why does it have a smug nigger on the cover?
Seems like an inside joke or something.

>Portugal
>white

nope

tfw 4 never happened

I don't think World War's would work out with a classic AoE resource gathering base building gameplay

Rise of Nations is probably the closest you'll get to Age 4

3 is great if you never played 2. speaking from my own experience and others who like 3, they're almost always people who never played 2 extensively. 3 is pretty fun in its own right.

>tfw i can't get into 2 because i'm used to 3

Ayoo Hol Up WE

edgy

the campaigns would have probably been good

I often host games with the addon, but they fill up way slower than without it.

Seems like most peeps prefer the regular game.

I like the addon though, the new races are well balanced and fun.
Some of them are strong early game contenders, others like the portuguese are post-imp monsters.

But there probably is no meta and tier list considering not many people play African kingdoms.

Also whats the deal with quickmatch, why did they completely remove that feature.

name 1 "empire" led by a nigger.

>So what are the new factions, are they balanced?

They actually are decent, unlike the Forgotten Empires factions, which are all trash tier bad.

They also nerfed Huns and balanced the old factions a bit.

10/10

He's the whitest man in Argentina

I swear if any of you makes that joke I'm gonna have to slap a bitch.

not only edgy, but dumb as well

>it adds fucking balance to the game

I still think atzecs, maya and huns are still the top 3 races for a 1on1.

i like the civs, but the horrendous netcode and optimization are complete and absolute garbage.

>mfw the original aoe2 game runs better on my 10+yo p4 than the HD version on my fx 6300

>i like the civs, but the horrendous netcode and optimization are complete and absolute garbage.

Well thats not specific to the addon, but the whole HD edition.
But i get what you say.
This shit sometimes has sooooo much input delay, that microing and macroing things properly becomes impossible.

Thats rage inducing.

WE WUZ MODS N SHIIET

Post this picture next time, even though no one will probably reply.

My favorite new civ are the malians, that sweet armor bonus for pikeman and champions is pretty strong.

WE WUZ posting aside, is 3 any good?

KANGS posting aside, no.

I really like it. Even better in MP in my opinion.

its a good RTS game, but not an AoE game

But African Kingdoms is actually good despite the fact that its not very popular.

>fully voiced singleplayer campaigns
>improved balance
>new civs that are actually not trash and whose units and bonuses synergize well

wuz they kangs, Cred Forums?

name 16 better rtses

its not that bad but 2 is way better

It's actually not all that interesting. I mean it's pretty cool that it was released but as you said, it didn't exactly have a large effect on the playerbase

user, she's talking about aoe3, not AK expansion

AoE 4 MUST be in development right?

I mean, the crappy half assed remake of a 17 year old game has 5k players on steam as we speak.

They must have noticed this right?

I'll have you fine fellows know, that we are decedents of royalty and what not.

My ancestors :)

REMINDER

BILL GATES SAID IN AN AMA HE WILL LOOK I TO A NEW AGE OF EMPIRES

It seems that Bill actually meant that he will start the new world order.

Bill Gates is too busy building toilets in KongoWongo to give us anything

Shhh, dont tell anyone, but i am actually shilling for a game i often play.
