CoRnMaN Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I have played only one campaigne, one level! This game is going to set a new standard. I love it! Has any one else played it? I'm not sure if the full version is out yet but I was sent the demo. It is increadible edible. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Until then. What is your favorite race? What is your favorite unit? Does any one have strategies they would like to share with people here at tip.it? UPDATE I was reading on another forum and came across a very good question. "With Aoe3's graphics, we could see anything happen with Mods and Maps. Maybe we'll see an AoE3 Lord of the Rings campaign? Or something more adventurous like His Dark Materials? Maybe designers will go even further...at the moment there are so many possibilities...all it needs is a free, creative and original mind. Anyone care to guess what scenarios we'll be seeing in two years time?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____ Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Got it, finished it. Bloody awesome. Seems to be a tad unstable but i think that's a video / windows issue since a lot of my games suffer similar effects :( And I prefer the British using the Red Coats. And my only strategy is having the majority of my deck relating to resources before anythihng else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Putter Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I played the demo, and it really didn't seem as good as AOK. For one, since in the time of the new world, everyone had gunpowder, and everyone had cannons, and everyone was basically having the same kind of army (with different names for soldiers) so the demo kind of wasn't that fun because it wasn't like in AOK where you'd have elephants fighting against priests, and longbowman fighting cannons...It just seems like your fighting the same civ over and over. 2nd, there's some wierd things that confused me. Like the lack of storage pits so the resources would just stack on...Among other things that seemed really unnatural when comparing with other RTS. I'm all for change but I liked the systems and units in AOE and AOK better. Much better. So after playing the demo, I think I'm going to wait at least a few months before dishing out the 50 some-odd bucks to get it. It looks pretty alright though. (I'm a humungous fan of the AOE series btw.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____ Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Yea, that was the big thing to annoy me in the Demo. You only had to two Civs so you were litterally fighting the same stuff every single time. I think the best thing AOE3 has going for it is the home city concept. It brings A LOT of stragegy into multiplayers games rather than just rushing. Been a long time coming that has been and I'm glad this system actually works. The number of different decks is HUGE. And the only real chance you have is the play with your best available deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy500fan Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 i tried the demo, but i was no good at it. i never was really good at aoe2 either, but i enjoyed playing it. i might try aoe3 again sometime, maybe when some friends get it and we can get some lan action going.

Evil_Elf Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 AOE3 on limewire all comes up less than a MB when zipped so im guessing its not out yet. Its been "out" since the 8th. You just need to go shopping at better stores. I downloaded the demo a while ago but havent even installed it yet, the game looks pretty cool but if its not to my tastes I don't want AoK memories to be tainted :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoRnMaN Posted October 23, 2005 Author Share Posted October 23, 2005 i went to wally world yesturday and they didnt have it yet :(. i asked the guy working when it was supporst to be there he said the 21st, which was a day before i went to buy it..... he said it might be here monday or wensday. i was just hoping i could have gotten this week cuase i had a 4 day weekend. o well ill find time to play it. the demo i was sent only had 2 campaigns and 1 skirmish. cant wait till i get the full version. its not a good idea to pirate this game. i heard u cant play multiplayer with a pirated game other then LAN. and multiplayer makes aoe games that much better.

Note the use of quotation marks ;) (scene releases often predate the real release date) And I don't think theres much sense in pirating it either if you like multiplayer RTS at all.

T-Roach Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 if u checked out like the old forums of aoe2, u would know that there is a possibility and PROPABLY will b4 cool mods like that. Some people already made mods for the demo, but they had nothing to do with the graphics or anything.. in my opinion, lets just stay focused on the game and wait until multiplayer really comes out, then we could bring out the new mods :) Doctor of Dental Surgery-2014Medical Doctor-2018?Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon-2024?

T-Roach Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 wait until multiplayer really comes out i thought multiplayer came out weeks ago? the game came out the 18th... many people are having problems connecting to ESO and through the IP games, and quite a few people have posted about it at the agecommunity forums, and some of the people there have said that ESO is having problems with the multiplayer experience....
