    I've said it before and I'll say it again, the fix to multiplayer alone is amazing.

    And then the compatibilty on top of that.

    I Jizz'd a little upon hearing about it.
    It was an insta-buy.
    This game stole my childhood, and I'm keen to replay it again and actually have some online competition.
    KEEEEN!
    We stopped searching for monsters under our beds when we realized that they were inside us.

    Tell me something, my friend. You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?

    Yeah try playing the game on widescreen monitor smarty pants. Game offers max resolution 1280*1024. My monitor has 1920*1080. So when I play old game I either get stretched game or I play it with black bars on each side without even using all my 1080 vertical lines...
    Even if they just make it possible to play it on max resolution on today's monitors it will be awesome, but as I see you didn't watch video so you don't know they are improving particle engine, physics engine and so on...

    The graphics are part of the charm. If they changed them too much, I wouldn't get the updated version if they made the graphics look like Age of Empires III for example.

    And just think about multiplayer.... right now you need to play through hamachi if you want to play multiplayer in AoE2 and you also need friends to play against. I hope they will make somewhat matchmaking system so you are matched with others...

    Matchmaking is confirmed.

    I am very happy that it will look similar to the 2d Age of Kings

    I would definitely NOT buy it if it looked like Age of Empires 3...

    This is the best Strategy game in the existence, it's been what, 14 years since its release? Many, MANY people grew up playing this game, I told my raid about this(25m) last night just as raid ended, a lot of people were excited.

    Also as a nice bonus, the HD edition contains the expansion too
    If it's any help, I run AoE2 Conquerers Expansion fine on Win 7 thanks to a hint from another forum.

    Run it at highest resolution

    Start AoE
    Go into Task Manager CRTL+SHIFT+ESC
    In the Processes Tab shut down Explorer.exe - don't worry, no harm done
    Go back to the applications tab and get AoE going again, the graphics etc will be perfect - no blood red lakes etc.

    When you have finished, restore Explorer.exe

    Hope this works in your case.

    This is why it's nice to have a remake. Save messing around with stuff.

    this is how I've been running it for years
    the only tempting bit for me here is the multiplayer, but I'm not sure if its worth the pricetag.

    also, nerf trebuchets :P the amount of times ive spent ages building up a cool looking defense, then some ferk with a trebuchet destroys it way out of range of my towers, leaving my defenses in rubble!

    Halberdiers from barracks built near defences are fast moving, cheap cannon fodder that don't use any gold - sic 'em trebuchets boys.

    This, plus they're the hard counter to paladin-massing players who think they can win just like that It's quite fun to trade my wood and food for their gold and food, and still not lose all my units in the process.

    Yea, anyone can comfortable get a huge army inn the game by just having alot of farms (Build 3 towncenters asap as you hit Castle Age) and wood cutters. Pretty fun to just spam units endlessly :P

    Trough I mostly like to play as Vikings on water maps. I'm absolutely beast vs PC AI on thoes maps. Did a few maps where I had a 6 doubble score (eg they had 1k total score, I had 6 as an example) and only lost like 15-20 units, or where I go for a relic win and end the game inn about 45 mins game time/fast. PC AI kinda sucks inn AOE2 at times, and then other maps it absolutely can ruin you (Arabia is still a challenge for me). Best maps for me are defiantly Islands, Baltic (Walling off the sides) and other similar games. I don't understand why Dark Forest is played so much online.

    But I guess any RTS game has cheesy tactics, that makes winning againts the PC AI easy. Can't quit recall it was this easy inn Warcraft III, witch I have played alot. I always feelt inn that game it was more about having a huge army, and hero level, where inn AOE2 I can win againts the computer with ½ a big army as they do.

    Edit: On the topic off spamming...Once had a game where I made over 900 units before I had a win...Was a map where there was barely any gold so coulden't make anything really xD Well 2 relics helps.

    Personally I don't understand why people keep complaining about the price.

    If you loved the game so much, £14 is nothing. Absolutely nothing.

    AoE2 and AoE2: TC were the best RTS games of all time, hands fucking down. OF ALL TIME
