Talk:Age of Empires

message: Have played thru Titans. Found up to this point, nothing to detract. I'm  just glad they kept trying to add  legacy. Not like  blizzard and Starcraft. Wish i coul have gotten a  copy of  Ghost.  Only single  person game i would have bought.  Never cared  for Quake, World,Halo or Everquest.     76.79.9.122 (talk) 22:34, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Critics of age of empires 

message: There is an uncited paragraph about the AIs in AoE3. How much truth is there to them actually learning your strategies and adapting to them? The article suggests they actually grow more powerful the more you face them in Skirmish games.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.36.75.141 (talk) 13:50, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Learning AIs? 

message: How can this article describe Age of Empires Online as part of the main series but label Age of Mythology as a spin-off? AOE Online is a children's novelty that has almost nothing in common with the main series. (WP Editor 2011 (talk) 11:13, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: if you played Age of Empires Online, you will know that there is a serious game behind the cartoony artstyle. just because its different does not mean that it is childish. and you think it has nothing in common with the main series? the quests are common are like the campaigns, the skirmish hall is like your random map games in AoE and AoE2 and skirmish in AoE3, and the champion mode PvP is basically your LAN and game rooms from before? There is a lot in common, more common than differences. 67.204.56.2 (talk) 03:35, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  AOM is a spin-off but not AOE Online??? 

message: Since I haven't played AOE 1 for a very long time, I can't say this about the first game in the series (incl. the following expansion(s)). BUT it's officially known the in AOE 2 (incl. The Conquerors expansion) the AI-controlled opponents are given every x period of time an additional amount of resources and other perks, which boost their advancement. The simplest test is to create a custom scenario with an AI-controlled opponents and not give them any villagers or starting resources. Soon you will witness a miraculous expansion and levelling up. Of course the speed of advancement depends on the difficulty setting of the AI - the harder it is, the more resources the AI is given every once in a while.

message: Added on October 19 was a "Marketing" section by an unidentified user. A whole new section with only two events listed seems extremely unnecessary to me. If a section like this is going to be added it should at least be complete. I would suggest either removing it or adding a call-out for expansion to it. Thoughts?
