Looks like the same old AOE. Any reason to buy this if you have AOE2?

 

[JEDI]

what are the real world specs needed to play the demo?

 

[Chode Messiah]

yeah i was wondering about that too.

I don't know, it's hard to tell from that small picture, but maybe that's just his hat? Like the hat for the AoE3 desktop icon. I never noticed that the settlers were black when I played it myself.

nah, he's black as the ace of spades...down to the hands...

As to specs it runs fine at 1024 max settings (no AA) on my 2.1Ghz AXP, 1gb RAM, 9550@faster than 9600XT speeds.

I don't see what the problem is. You tell him to mine, he mines. You tell him to farm, he farms. You select him and press delete, he dies. Just like colonial black "settlers".

Looks white in the pictures. Maybe he has really bad sunburn.

Anybody else have the problem where the priests lie on their backs instead of standing? Since they carry a walking staff, it looks like they've been impaled through the back on a pike.

er, why did you take a screenshot of your other monitor as well what does it have to do with anything

I just played the demo campaign, what's up with British colonial musketeers and dragoons being the only units for an American railroad company in the 1870's??

All the peons are British too!

Also... why did you take a screen shot to zoom in on the settlers, then resize the pic to 56k size, and completely negate the whole point of zooming in the first place?

I never noticed black settlers when I played the demo.

LOL

That would be me....

add in Garth, some Sarah, a lot of Metallica and Zeppelin, some Tupac, some Blink...a lot of DMB...

In High School I used to like taking some of the ballads/hits of bands that they hated and putting them on a DOLBY cassette mix and getting them to get all *perked* and asking about it when the song they didn't know came on.

I think I have a GeForce 4... or maybe it's a GeForce 3 actually... played alright for me, but I turned all of the settings down.
