Let's see if they just improved the graphics, or the gameplay too.

Notes:

This game requires Windows 10 version 1607 or newer to play.
The first patch is included (v1.3.5101.2/Build 5101).



I'm unable to start it though.
Apparently you are supposed to start it via a shortcut in the startmenu.
But nothing was created for me. Sad

Pathfinding is really really bad, and we are in 2018, and they can not perfect it.

Why walk, when you can ride.

@jaapie18
Nope. I guess it got old after so many releases.


@keewee23
Pathfinding indeed is fucking shit. Played the first mission with my cavemen, and they often had troubles going around obstacles - like a very small spot of forest.

Ragequitted afterwards anyways, since i got gangbanged by two enemies at once and i had no food. Laughing

And the 2d models are of really low quality. Especially noticable if you are not playing in the highest zoomed out level - and even more if you zoom fully in.

How to change resolution? Not seeing it under settings. Sad Looks like crap at the moment.

Also minor stuttering.

The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

Use mousewheel to zoom out.

Thanks. Guess, it is somewhat okay. Very Happy

The classic mode seems unplayable without zoom.

Run InstallApp.exe in the install folder.
If you still don't get it, like i did, restart your PC and then run the .exe again. Laughing

Yup, still as unforgiving as I remembered it.

First game, started on Regular with Egyptians, farmed up my resources as usual, started building a few units of all kinds (horses, archers, elephants) and then the AI simply raped me with about 10-15 Phalanx units who destroyed my complete city in just 2 minutes Laughing

I knew it was hard, but that was just mad.

Next training mission: gather 500 gold.
The gold is on the other side of the map. Before I got there the AI already mined it all Smile

Yet another one: immediately after starting you get attacked by 3 archers and a stone thrower. You get 1 wololo to convert the stone thrower. Wololo doesn't like being hit with a big rock.

I think the AI may be cheating Laughing

That's what you get for using a castrated Windows like LTSB. Smug

So can you. Razz

Getting some sci-fi military dudes and a sports car, far as I remember the cheats.
(Among others.)

As for fairness well it's Age of Empires, I don't think the AI was ever all that fair but on the lower difficulty levels the AI was at least content with just being overall better than you at everything without being a dick about it. Very Happy

Games like Civilization where they outright state how fucked you are compared to the AI and it's god-like bonuses are pretty rare unfortunately, buffs and reactions and omnipotent all-knowing Skynet-level neural computing cheating bastard. Ha ha.


EDIT: There's also those games using AI boosts as a DRM but I don't remember Age of Empires doing it but this version could have that but the AI is probably just a cheating ass and this is staying true to the original experience.
