Re: "What if..." Thread
RTS's can only differ in small details, because changes to the large would not make them an RTS anymore. These small differences are incredibly influential. Neither EE or AoE takes into accounts actual shifting borders, the importance of supply, the strategic placing of cities, or the importance of on and off wars, not endless deathmatches. In the beginning, at least.

Re: "What if..." Thread
I have played nearly ALL of the games that you guys are talking about.
EE was by far one of the greatest games EVAR!!!!!!!
RoN & RoL were both awesome as well, i really enjoyed the latter because of its fantasia settings.
AoE I & II were teh 1337!!!!!!! III was when it started themode.
I will admit the EE and AoE models dont take into account for alot of the real world things, but these games were developed back in the 90s and they ****ing ruled so give them some credit.

That's probably the reason why RoL was set in a world full of steampunk, magic and Divine Power.
EE2 on the other hand had many(partly useless and silly) small improvements which made the game too complex but did not add any depth to the game, but still had the same time line, and the graphics were just marginally better.
or you can take option B and add a storyline to the game like CnC and Starcraft.

Re: "What if..." Thread
EE blew. It was a game of get to the next gen tech faster to win. That was it. CIV4 > AOE2 > AOE3 > EE.
Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.
