Something from the old days

AoE 2.

That's it, that's the post.
My copy looked a bit different.
Old days!? Aoe2 is still getting expansions!
- It is shocking the longevity this game has. Still has a thriving competitive scene. Still getting expansions and patches. It's a fantastic game.
- I was about to say, "what do you mean 'old days', I'm still playing!"
  
  This game will outlive DOOM being run on things.
  
  Or more likely, someone will figure out a way to play one in the other.
  
  Oh man I bet you can get doom running in the scenario editor. The new devs may even be willing to enhance it somehow so that you could.
  Although I have not really played or watched competitive since The Viper left for Facebook.
- It is?! Must look into that. Still my favourite game of all time.
  
  Not only that, it's still active, including a competetive scene with regular livestreams and tournaments.
wololo
- Convert me papal papi!
I recently tried Aoe II definitive edition. they managed to massacre the UI so much it hurts my eyes... that alone made me issue a refund also £15 for a 25 year old game. you'd expect it to be better in every aspect at the very least
- You could try AoE4 instead. Basically a reboot of AoE2 in a modern engine.
- I'm simping for them but they are hamstrung a bit by the ancient code. They haven't rewritten it.
  
  Fair criticism though, maybe they should have rebuilt the engine by now.

I knew it! Microsoft has been using IA the whole time! Look at this drawings, it's proof!
