yes , but if you look at age of empires from 1 up to 3 they pretty much tried to cover most of those eras and empires , the most exciting for me was 3 with all those canons and old rifles with little smoke puffs rising up everywhere they shot and the battle cries and victory cries , so well done but it fell a little short for me when you look at some of the maps you feel like the maps are scaled down way to much and then theres the common trs problem the tank charge or in this case the cannon charge , difficult to find balance between unit strentghs but i must say i am a dear fan of rts and i find the modern era just as exciting , the only thing is it is truly difficult to keep the gameplay away from a click speed competition and a tank rush , some may wonder wheres the strategy really ? id like to see more strategy
