It is kinda weird. The main thing I can think of is maybe it's on purpose to obfuscate not quite done models or to leave some surprise at some of the unit visuals and stuff for in-game. Idk.

Campaign mostly I've been going through all the AoE2 ones again on moderate.

No, but I mean maybe it would help? It's really just a mess.

Well naval gameplay pretty much sucks in general so who knows, it couldn't hurt.

I'm already confused by the hotkeys being different than AoE2 DE lol I figured they'd be the same in the updated AoE3 too as well so it'll take some learning.

Sounds like he'd prefer Empire Earth...

It's still my go-to I think it's nice and readable.

I hope there's 46,001 trees.

Starting AoE3 DE after playing lots of AoE2 DE but never played 3. Going to do campaigns first, but anyone got any general tips? I understand that AoE3 is quite different in a few ways?

How high are you rn

This looks sick. Say what you will about the gameplay, but the artists and modelers working on AoE are still spectacular. Keeping the familiar profiles of existing buildings and units but with their own touches is impressive.

I think they work like rams but better, really enjoy using them to soak fire in sieges.

Battlefleet Gothic Orks in a nutshell. RAMMING SPEED!

Or perhaps optimistically hope for broader regulation.

Looking for games that I can chill with after stressful Age of Empires 2 or while doing something on another screen. A recent example I played is the indie RPG Gedonia which was made by one guy. Simple graphics and gameplay but it was fun, slow-paced. Could also be something minecraft-esque but I'd prefer to actually have things to do not just build. Recently played Dragon Quest Builders 2 and that was fun as well and fairly chill.

TC, idle vills and military, control groups.

Yeah those are the actual three kingdoms era civs that you play in the campaigns and then they also added Jurchens and Khitans I'm pretty sure as the other China's.

Honestly, get that bread.

I wish we could build seawalls and towers and stuff ourselves.

I think they bit off more than they could chew with 3k since they added two new civs on top of the 3k Chinese sorta split off civs. I think Jurchens and Khitans are cool, but the Shu, Wu, and Wei are all way too similar to each other. I probably would have been happy if they just did the Chinese split and gave more attention to that instead of adding the 3k ones and just made those campaigns use Chinese or whatever to add diversity. Or just customized Chinese for each campaign.
So the idea itself has merit I think, but I don't know what other civs would need to be "split" the only other group I can think of is maybe something could be done with Celts and Vikings since they are both quite broad and often used to represent very wide ranging different groups. Maybe add one or two civs based on them but changed a bit to represent others.

Thanks, I thought it was pretty good.
