And on top of this, there are some strategies more focused on defending, that allow you to make games go much longer, and be more buildy like you said. But since you can chose what maps you play on. Stronghold HD looks dated, but its battlement-based warfare is reliable. While a game of Age of Empires gradually snowballs into total offensive warfare, Stronghold has a larger concentration on city-building and economy management. In more closed maps, like black forest, you don't get rushed at all. It certainly ticks some of the same boxes as Age of Empires, however. More open maps like arabia are harder to defend so people tend to rush. Secondarily because its better in every other way as well IMHO. AoE2:DE is the better version between the two primarily because its seeing new content and updates. HD was just a high-res AoE II with some extra bugs that they introduced throughout their patching (although they did fix. This was the only one i didn't buy, only tried the demo (many times to make sure i wasn't mistaken in not liking it :/) Its incompatible with AoE2:DE, so no crossplay.

AoE II has a low pop cap (500 in the HD edition), thus you will micromanage your unit a lot more. Decks, and all those funny businesses going on in the maps, don't belong in this game in my opinion. Personally, i like cossacks 3 more than AoE II. But this is about the only negative of this game.īest: units (does anyone remember the phalanx and the chariots? really awesome units!), sounds (this was where monks did use "wololo" when converting units, and god was it fun!), civilizations (those civilizations have a very big appeal for me personally)
I hated the part where i had to use 6 simultneous sheep + scout to scout the map. Worst: a bit slow to get going, if you like very competitive play.
