this looks pretty dope
So when I was a little TBT I would go across the street to my good friend Todd's house. He had a computer, we did not. He had the original AOE and I would watch him play and vice versa for literal days.
This was also when I found yahoo chats(a/s/l) and was introduced to the internet at large. That led to writing quadratic equation and graphing programs for TI-83's(silver edition) and beyond. So AOE had a special place in my heart and I still have 1 & 2 installed on my very expensive modern laptop.
I am excited for this game.
