I don't really like the idea of non-sprite graphics. Seems like it would detract from the game.

- SEJeff 9y agoWhat do you mean in specific? The current models are mostly made with Blender 3D and they're quite good.
- rpedela 9y agoSprites in a 3D game look horrible for most objects: buildings, characters, terrain. Sprites are typically used for particle effects, grass, or objects that are far away. The latter is often used a performance optimization.
- ouid 9y agoAge of Empires is not a 3d game.
- rpedela 9y agoAoE 1 and 2, yes. AoE 3 is 3D. True 3D works fine for RTS games and generally looks better, and can apply dynamic shadows, physics, etc. If you are simply saying that you prefer the old-style graphics, then okay. But your initial statement wasn't worded well if that is what you meant.
