For instance, villagers ordered to travel to a mining camp located in plain sight 200 yards away over open country may decide to take a scenic route through a forest populated by hungry wolfs. Not to mention AI path-finding also needs some work. You cannot give move-attack orders dragging a box over a crowd of units selects both villagers and troops and it's hopeless to queue up a mixture of units and research at the same building. Though, Hidden Path missed several opportunities to better AOEII's game-play. Because of the various ways to achieve victory conditions and diverse powers for each nation, there are many ways to play, and excel, in Age of Empires II HD. Though we cannot forget about the randomly generated and real-world maps to play on, as well as several game modes, including a laid-back game type where the first player to complete a wonder wins. For example, The Korean guard tower and keep upgrades are free, Turks employ astonishing gun-powder units early on, and the Huns do not require houses to support their population. There is a lot of depth and variety in AOEII:HD, because all of the 18 playable nations have unique bonuses, units, and tech trees. Along the way, you can use the old fashion tried-and-true-favorite formula (pointy sticks kill horses, villagers kill sheep, and so on) to evict other players from the map. The fast-paced-game-play has you abusing natural resources, constructing beautiful wonders and intimidating castles, and advancing from the Dark Ages to the much more dignified-sounding Imperial Age. Unfortunately, Hidden Path's HD edition of Ensemble Studios' beloved RTS suffers from a wide range of bugs and missed opportunities.

An HD version of AOEII with simpler multiplayer matchmaking and mod support (Steam's servers and Steam Workshop) is a brilliant idea. This is quite an impressive feat for a real-time strategy game that came out just over a decade ago, notably when you consider that the official multiplayer matchmaking service was shut down years ago.
After all, the original Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings and its expansion are so admired that there is still a rich modding and multiplayer community devoted to the game.

It's also a nice way to show that for some games it doesn't matter how old they are, it's all about the gameplay, just like how you don't care about graphics when playing a cardgame. All in all, a great idea worked out great, with some bugs at the start.

Oh, and did I mention steam workshop? This means that we will see a lot more mods to keep te game alive even longer. The servers for the original AOE II were pulled long ago, and now we have new servers to play this still awesome game online with friends. The real addition of this however is the online. The game has been out for a few minutes now while people know that the devs are doing their best to work on the issues, so please show some patience. As soon as they heard about this problem the devs posted on multiple multimedia sites and their own site that they are working on the problem right now. Regarding the framedrops: when we got the privilege to play the game before it is officially out doesn't mean they will have every bug fixed, otherwise they could just release it for everyone at that time. For the HD part: they managed to up the resolution to max and also retexture a 14 year old engine, which is pretty impressive in my opinion. I give a 10 to compensate for people who judge before a game is even out. For To start of this review, the score I would like to give is a 9.
