What I can say is that it's much more in-depth and involved, especially in terms of how you develop your empire and what kind of direction you want to take it in.

Im hoping I get a beta invite, I really do want to try the game, as RTS is my favourite genre. Im completely hooked on SCII. I've played over 250 games since it released. When im not playing that, im playing DoW2. But im all for a new experience, especially a new build of AoE, which I used to love.

So while we can't really talk about it, I can share these links with you. The last 3 are videos.

Sweet!

No invite here yet, hopefully soon. But Civilization 5 and SCII are keeping me entertained now anyway.

I had such high hopes for Civ 5....and while there are things about it I like, the new hexagonal map....a single unit per tile....it just doesn't feel right.

It feels like they took the greatest strategy game ever on the PC....and made a console port out of it....dumbed it down....I've played 5 or 6 games on Prince level and it is BORING....not nearly the depth as Civ 4.

I'll keep playing and hope that it will improve with unofficial mods and expansion packs.

Yeah Civ 5 is pretty good. I'm taking a break on SCII and this AOE is pretty good so far, its a really new idea I like it.

I used to play AoE 2 online back in the day. The regular game sucks online but the Germs Blood type mods were a lot of fun.
