- Jan 06, 2021 Age of Empires 2 is a classic strategy game, and with its new release, you might be looking for an Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition beginner's guide to help you get caught up to speed.
- I played AOE2 back in the day but haven't played for years. Started playing AOE2 on Steam and AOE: DE (when it released on MS store) recently so just getting back into the swing of things. I was doing okay-ish on moderate difficulty a few months back. Started playing again a few days, Hardest is literally so easy and the AI literally do not even attack me. They have a high player score but.

Intro
I have been playing age of empires on and off since it came out in 1999, after trying the DE edition I believe some features made the game drift a bit from the original classic
The following is a list of Pros and Cons based on my experience, and from what I have observed on streams and youtube.
Cons List
Game Mechanics
Setting Gather Point
Trying to set a gather point from TC to deer is very hard.
Interface / Quality of Life Features
Building Queues
Queuing units are now represented by a number on the icon instead of the classic multiple icons view.
This is rather very challenging to get a good idea of whats happening .. specially in tight situation where you toggle through buildings fast.
It would be a good idea if there was an option to revert back to original queuing interface.
Multiplayer
Map Selection for ranked games
The idea of being forced a random map from the map pool is very annoying, given that most players have been playing a few set of maps most of the time. Specially on the competitive scene.
This issue has also been tackled in video here:
Having to do performance testing continuously
Why is this necessary, shouldn't it be done only 1 time.

Graphics
Health Bar / Selection
The new health bar looks very different and there is no way to revert back to old look.
Also the selection border for units is very thick compared to what it used to be.
Icons
Even with HUD scale maxed out, the icons still look very small compared to the classic version.
Units proportions
It feels like some units have changed in proportions, an example is paladin.
Settings
Game doesnt reset keys for conflicting actions
In classic aoe, setting a hot key for an item would automatically reset that key for all other conflicting actions. eg. if you set hotkey for building farm 'F', it automatically resets that key for all other buildings if they are using 'F' as hotkey.
Although there are warnings, they are not always accurate. Setting a button for idle villager does not give warning for other conflicting entries.

Bugs
Unable to cancel in progress research / building / production
This happens after changing HUD to exactly 125%.
Icons are not clickable once they are in progress.
Pros List
Quality of Life
Number of villagers / Idle / Per resource
It is really great that these numbers are now visible straight away rather than clicking on the economy icon.
Zooming in and out
Queuing research with unit production

Multiplayer
Matchmaking

Server Based multiplayer
Alot better than peer to peer.
Spectating any game in progress
Was only possible on voobly, wasn't possible on the HD version.
