And that acronym means?
0AD is so much better than AoE
It really, really isn’t. It’s really quite terrible in comparison. I was actually quite saddened, because I first played it like 15 years ago, but then replayed it late last year and was excited to see how much it had progressed, but it still really felt like the early alpha game of my memory.
It's less that there's anything inherent to 0AD I don't like, and more just that it doesn't really do anything well. It's poor enough in terms of UX that it's impossible for me to even evaluate its fundamental game design.
and dint like it because u didnt read the culture tree
That is...more than a little bit reductive.
The game is also downloadable the normal way not just as torrent
Oh cool! Glad to see! 8 months ago either it wasn't an option, or it wasn't presented very prominently.
The “sexism” thing has been fixed, pesants now have random gender
That's ok, but like I said in that thread, the problem isn't really the sexism (that was just an added factor), it was the game design that came with that. The unintuitive way some military units can also do eco work, but some can't, and there's no simple or intuitive way to know which is which.
And as much as I liked the idea of having a trade-off that you have to decide how many and when to send citizen-soldiers to battle vs when to hang back on eco didn't feel good. Maybe with more experience that gets better? But first impressions matter, and it definitely doesn't feel as good as Age.
Wonder how hard it would be to take that map/mode and flip it so you're the wolves trying to drive out the humans.
The game design part of that might get tricky, though, since the usual "agricultural economy" thing doesn't really work. But that's part of the fun!

The Wololo tournament just took place this past weekend, culminating in the grand final at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Some absolutely fantastic gameplay in both aoe2 and aoe4.
Surprised the person with a sign like that was actually open to changing their mind for once.
Transcription:
3 panels. 1: the Stephen Crowder "change my mind" meme: Age of Empires is shit, change my mind. 2: a red monk from Aoe says "Wololo". 3: the Stephen Crowder meme edited to show him wearing red and the sign saying "I love Age of Empires ❤️❤️❤️❤️"
No idea and don't give a shit who Steven Crowder is
recognize him by the picture
"I dont know or care who he is"
