I don't understand love. Got something else?

I adore AoM. I love it so much and I miss it. I never had the expansion, only the original vanilla version.

I would have bought it again ages ago, but I was too busy playing Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings: The Conquerors Expansion pack (AKA: AoC).

AoC is my favorite game of all time. There's a reason it's 17 years old but it's recently had two brand new expansion packs and more people play it online than AoE3 and AoM.

AoE3 kind of sucked (by comparison, it's still one of the best strategy games ever. But I'd say Rise of Nations is almost as good (I prefer Starcraft to AoE3 though, that gets a second place after AoC, RoR, and AoM for me), AoM was the last truly great Ensemble game. An amazing game.

I still think AoC was superior though.

The original AoE was amazing, and RoR was even better but AoK was extremely amazingly spectacular and AoC perfected it.

I love AoC. Memories.

Played it online everyday without fail for 8-12 hours a day for 6 years.

...yeah never done that with any other game.
Yeah Big Grin They were all pretty awesome games. AoM Remastered or somethin of the type came out last year, too! Big Grin

I've never played that. My game was Colonization, and all the history that came with it inspired me so much, creating a lifelong love of American and Native American history. I even used to have it as kind of part of my identity, and had native american-style jewellery... an earring and a medallion in the shape of a dream-catcher. And my favourite book was Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee.
It's no problem! Smile I don't understand what it symbolizes, but i still think it looks awesome.

AoM? it was a really, really awesome RTS, with tons of mythical creatures, set in ancient greece (With a bit of troy too!), made by the Age of Empires guys (Obviously, considering the title Tongue ). Never played Colonization, myself, though. It sounds really cool, though, as it had that much of an effect on your lifestyle. 
AoM got me interested in history, from a pretty young age, and since then i've picked up a lot of history, and love learning more. (though, never really learnt much about native america, though i know a fair bit about the USA). I've always been more about European history, being from britain. Tongue
My favourite book has to be Fall of Reach, of the halo books, it is just awesome.

It symbolises the clockwork universe... hard determinism... everything that has happened could have only been one way and everything that will happen can only be one way. But not working out for the good as is the Christian perspective but just what is.

I haven't actually played that many RTS's, though one about mythical creatures sounds pretty cool... the closest I've come to that is Populous/2 on the Megadrive. The only RTS's I've really played are Starcraft and Settlers. Colonization was a turn-based strategy game... so you had a lot more time to think. You played as English, French, Spanish, or Dutch and colonised America, starting with just a couple of colonists and a ship, building up colonies. Then when the time was right and you had built up a big enough army you declared independence and had to fight a war of independence against the motherland, who were a much stronger force. So you had to use guerilla tactics to win, just as the Americans did. Each of the four powers had different specialities... so if you wanted to conquer the Aztecs and Inca's you'd play as the Spanish, if you wanted to trade, you'd play as the Dutch, if you wanted religious emigration you played as the English, and I can't remember what the French were good for Big Grin And then you also had privateers and shipyards and stuff. It was just a full on game covering all the history of America. It was beautiful on the Amiga and had lovely music. The PC version has crap graphics and possibly no music (or none that you can get working anyway) but it still plays and that's the important thing... you can play it on DOSBox if you want Smile

I'm also British but have always found our history... and European history... to be quite boring Blush All about dynasties and kings and queens, and that sort of thing. I haven't got a clue about that... about the order of kings and queens etc. I am interested in Russian history though... so not quite European... or not all quite European.

I see. That is pretty interesting :o 

I'm really into RTS', i love playing them. And Colonization sounds really cool. The only TBS' i've ever really played are the two XCOM games (not the older ones), and they're awesome. 
Eh. European history can be quite boring, i agree. Which is why i mostly know a ton about the more interesting parts, aka the wars. The 30 years war is something of great interest to me. The Swedish empire rose and fell in such a short amount of time, and it's what started the Russian empire's rise. It's also a time when russia's brutality really came into play, as the swedish only lost because the Tsar scorched the earth when retreating, till the swedish were eventually out of supplies, and subsequently chose to charge into a battle, totally outnumbered, at the battle of Poltava, rather than starve to death. 20,000 soldiers died in a single day. So yeah Tongue I find it all quite interesting around that period, as it's when things kinda really kicked off in europe, as it was also the fall of the Holy roman empire (if i remember correctly, at least.)

I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
