Does anyone else feel like playing AOE1 on easy difficulty is more difficult than playing AOE2 on easy?
Never played aoe1, what’s it like there? Do all the vills have the same voicelines? Rogan?
If I remember correctly about the original releases (AoE1 of 1997-1998, AoE2 of 1999-2000):
On easier difficulties, AoE2’s AI is handicapped in its behavior more than AoE1. So if you leave an AoE1 AI alone *and* it doesn’t suffer from some issue that disables its expansion, it will build a sprawling empire regardless of difficulty, while the AoE2 AI’s expansion & aggression are slower and more limited.
So in this sense, the original AoE1 AI is indeed harder than original AoE2. However, for a slightly experienced player, it is also extremely vulnerable to early aggression and exploitable.
Do u mean the easy difficulty on aoe 1 is harder than the easy difficulty of aoe 2?
Yes
If memory serves me right. It’s because the AI cheats more because its not coded as well
Yes, easily. No gates plus strong trash units also mean that if one doesn’t play defensively, the AI can punish. No ability to garrison units either, so a cavalry in your eco is usually gg already.
