Phillipp,
Allow me to answer that. AOE3 dumbed down the gameplay tremendously. While AOE2 was a truly balanced game that gave a player various ways to win, the ONLY way to win in AOE3 was to build an army bigger than your opponent and go kill him.
Map size limitations, horrible AI, and the lack of a reason for doing anything but fighting made AOE3 a really horrible game, even after it got its expansions.
In AOE2, turtling was a reasonable tactic, for example. Do that in AOE3, and your just waiting to die.
Now if only EE2 would get a much needed graphix update! EE3 went south even worse that AOE3 did!
