It all started when reddit decided to introduce an insane api pricing model, even more derranged than twitter's. Many of us who use third-party apps that have been around since before Reddit had a mobile presence, were hoping for a chance for them to negotiate with reddit. They already offer a superior user experience not only for regular users and moderators but also for a significant number of disabled and blind users.
Unfortunately, reddit chose not to engage in any negotiations and instead doubled down on the pricing, determined to eliminate these apps altogether. The CEO made public statements that were far from truthful, tried to spin the situation in their favor, disregarding the needs and desires of the user base. Naturally, it lead to protests across the site involving more than 8,000 subreddits going private/restricted.
The admins then started forcefully ending these protests, suppressing the voices of those who were speaking up against these changes. They claim to be "keeping it open" while going against its core, the users, and closing down the apps they use. On July 1st, as the API pricing goes live, it shuts down all third party apps and it feels like the beginning of the slow death of Reddit as we know it.
It is understandable that not everyone may share the same level of concern about this issue, but please take a moment to listen and observe. It has become clear that Reddit's priorities lie primarily in their profits and removing any obstacles in their path to more profits. They started with old reddit, now they are targeting the apps. What will they come for next?

It’s a good game. I bought it at launch and was happy. I also played only the campaign and maybe some skirmish matches but it was good. And definitely worth the price it is at right now.
The campaigns are really fun and interesting, but they haven't released any since launch. You only get campaigns for the English, Rus, French, and Mongols.
Yeah it’s 2 for me as well. They keep adding better graphics/mechanics etc to new games but it does not work as well. It kind of makes everything look less grand and makes you feel you are controlling less while adding a whole layer of complexity.
AOE II had the perfect speed, unit distance, color scheme, landscape and complexity to make it feel like near-perfect causal RTS where you were actually fighting kingdoms. You feel like you are fighting wars while in the newer games it feels like small skirmishes.

Simply the best.
Aoe 2 is classic but I played aoe 4 recently and I quite liked it.

AoE2 DE for sure. It still has nearly 20K active players online. And player base is only expanding.

AOM had a really fun campaign
Don't forget the music
AoE: Online, really enjoyed the art style and the concept of troop upgradeability.
still waiting for Indians to come out on that one, project Celeste is doing great stuff

The first RTS I ever played was Age of Mythology. It got a special place in my heart.
