Age of empires 3. The civilizations are packed full of unique units, cards and mechanics compared to previous games. The card deck mechanics and treasures speed up the early game and allow for a lot more flexibility and adaptivess. The game looks beautiful the 2005 version kind of runs like shit but the definitive version has made a lot of balance and performance improvements.
Anddddd shooting formations of infantry with cannons is fun as.
It's my least favourite of the Age games, but that's only because it's such a highly competitive field. It still ranks very highly with me. Fantastic game.
Which was your favorite civ to play? I used to be a Dutch player but now I almost exclusively play Russian. I've been meaning to try out Malta and Ethiopia they look cool.
Hells yeah! I also mainly played Russians. Loved the strelet rush: it was the only build order I ever really put any serious effort into in AoE3. Also played a fair bit of Japanese.
I never played them more than a few times to test them out, but special shout-out to the Italians and the DaVinci Tank, which is an absolutely hilarious inclusion.
