Yes, Aoe2, is defiantly an all time favorite. However, AoeO tries to put in a little mmo-rpg style which is very fun in my opinion. The game is suffering from a lack of fan/player base but the recent patches that brought on many changes to the original version has allowed players to slowly ease back in the game! Maybe, you should give it another try Madd-hatter, the development team has made some dramatic changes since you've played.
