DOes it haev the normal Death-matches? Reviews haven't been too clear on it ...

Death-match... pfft.

I don't like the fact that you start with such high resources.

It's like Random Map-lite.

There's this thing called Homecity where I think it is you have a permanent base where you improve your city, your economy etc and you can visit it during campaigns

AOE III has a few modes:

Campaign &
Skirmish - Supremacy(random map) and Deathmatch(i'm guessing its your typical high-resources, rush type)

I've been playing the campaign, and its pretty addictive. The shaders on the water are really nice!!

 

[pLuvia]

Yeh, I love the physics and graphics, it's really good and clear

The campaign story though is really really poor.
coulda done much better with actual history.

Yeah, well Death Match-Conquest was the best way to go. Especially since I'm better at building armies than economies.

But I also liked Regicides. Perfect opportunity to use siege engines when you never really got a chance earlier. Make all your opponents Mongols and Celts - they get siege bonuses - for a challenge.What other game modes besides Death Match and Campaign (and is the Campaign only in the New World of America)?

Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie!

... Please?

unfortunatly i tihnk theres only deathmatch or random game. and i am not sure about the campaigns cuase i only did the first 3 maps atm.


what sucks is that once u pick a civ , u have to pick either random maps to play or deathmatch. u cant use the same civ to play one or the other.

the reason i tihnk is cuase the way it counts experience points. becuase otherwise it would have been too easy to get experience points playing deathmatch conpared to rm.

anyway ask me more later

i stumbled across this on wikipedia, possibly an AoE 4 and 5 in the not too distant future?

Isn't it just the ages you can advance to in the third game? Not sure if you can or not...
