No doubt the "Star Wars" "mod" is soon to follow, just to make more cash from used games.
I'll fly in the face of popular opinion and say that I much preferred the first "AoE".

This is some awesome news for me, as I saw the game listed on Steam yesterday for launch. I love this game... in fact, I tend to love upgraded versions of the games I grew up with.

I prefer AOE2 + Conquerors. Dunno if I'll jump in again, tho.

The first one is a lot more memorable, it was mostly a warcraft clone that expanded on the ideas but it offered a completely new "realistic" setting. I don't see myself playing this again though, Warcraft 2 still has a lot more personality to it so if I'd replay one it would be it.

Warcraft 2 is such a legendary game. I can't get enough of it.
