I never understood why people didn’t like AoE:3 as much as AoE:2. With the unit bonuses (ie spears bonus against cavalry, etc), multiple attacks per unit (some units have both ranged and melee attacks with different stats that can be toggled, ie musketeers could be put in melee to deal with horses) and seriously different civs (ie up to 30% of units available might be different) it was a much more strategic play. And the interface was arguably more advanced than SC2, so it was more relaxing to play. Is it because they picked the wrong era to set it in?
