Wow, #AgeOfEmpiresII is 25 years old this year. That's insane to think about. I played it a bit, but RTS games were never really my thing. I was more a turn-based person, so it was Civilisation and SimCity for me. Still, who hasn't heard of #AgeOfEmpires? It was influential for lots of reasons, as this article points out: https://www.theguardian.com/games/2024/oct/02/age-of-empires-at-25-the-strategy-game-that-inspired-a-generation-of-historians?utm_source=Mastodon
