good RTS

User Rating: 8 | Age of Empires III PC
I am not much for RTS games but AOE is pretty cool and the civilizations are mostly balanced (except the british, they are OP) while still maintaining good variation. Buy the game, its worth it even though its no longer state-of-the-art like it was back in 05'. Definitely not a realistic game by any means but a great game to pass time. The online multiplayer is a nice challenge and great fun. HOWEVER, the British are quite overpowered due to their ability to produce villagers extremely fast and relatively cheaply through the rapid construction of manor houses. The British are also OP on water maps as they have the schooners card which allows them to produce fishing boats cheaply. This advantage is then is paired with their ability to produce settlers cheaply through the use of manors. MAKES ME ANGRY
