Is Age of Empires 3 or 4 better?

Neither Age of Empires 3 (AoE3) nor Age of Empires 4 (AoE4) is definitively "better," as they cater to different preferences: AoE3 DE offers deeper, more unique civs, card decks, and realistic art, favoring diverse strategies, while AoE4 provides a more classic, streamlined AoE experience closer to AoE2, with better campaigns and macro-focused gameplay. Choose AoE3 for varied mechanics and unique civs, or AoE4 for a traditional, accessible RTS feel with stronger campaigns and building mechanics.

Why is AOE3 so different?

As for AoE 3, while it arguably radically evolved the series's formula in various aspects (Wood has a slow gather rate to avoid building spam but in return batch training was introduced), it still very much feels like an Age game and a natural evolution from AoM.

Why is AOE2 better than AOE3?

I played both a very large amount, and I have to say that the only parts of AoE 3 that are better than AoE 2 are the graphics, home city, and trade. Everything else, the number of civilizations, the presence/lack of random maps, the AI, the campaign, the variety of units, buildings, and upgrades, goes to AoE 2.

What's the best civilization in AoE4?

There's no single "best" civilization in Age of Empires 4, as it depends on playstyle, but the Holy Roman Empire (HRE), Rus, and Chinese (Jushi Legacy variant) are consistently top-tier due to powerful economies and flexible strategies like fast castle rushes and strong early aggression. Other strong contenders include the English for early aggression, French for cavalry raiding, and Malians, with the best choice often being the civ that fits your preferred playstyle (aggressive, defensive, economic).

I think the game has always been worth to get, and especially now with all the improvements its received since launch, with the discount it makes perfect sense to get it if you like these type of games.
