I would say AOE 2: The Conquerors WAS the best but that game would mean nothing to you now. If you've played any modern games, by modern meaning the last 3 years, then you would be very disappointed by the game's graphics due to it being very old.
I would suggest AOE 3 since it's actually 3d and has way better graphics.
yet people still play starcraft. Personally, I find sprite games to often be better. They always manage to get the atmosphere through better. The way the graphics are in age 2 makes it feel a lot like your looking at a story, something that's written in your history book.
I think this is where age 3 failed
Sure, it looked beautiful, but it lost that feel. you didn't feel like you were patrolling your troops through dark deep forest. It felt more like leading them between random trees. All troops in age 3 sorta lost there liveliness as well. all melee troops look like they attack in slow motion.
I completely agree with this. That's why I don't like AOE3 as much at all, I like my strategy games to be 2D isometric, personally. It doesn't need any fancy bells and whistles, just give me a good ol' strategy or empire/city building game such as AOE2, Zeus, Pharaoh, Roller Coast Tycoon 2, and I'll be entertained for days.
