It doesn't hurt doing so and if you guys do it, maybe we can play together. Are you gonna give it a shot? There's lots of silly questing but the game itself is pretty nice gs what level u at

I'd say it's something of a mix of the two, leaning towards aoc in terms of macro, which is quite difficult.

HoN isn't good either, and it's fucking better than LoL, lol.

The core of the game, as you say, is how the game works when you're actually playing it, not in the game menus. When you do actually quest, it's pretty much like the single player campaigns. When you do actually play against other people it's like most of the other AoE games I've tried. Yes there is gear and leveling and things that resemble MMO. And while it is unfortunate that you have to do silly quests to play competitively online, the game itself plays exactly how an AoE should play. It's sort of a AoC/AoT/Aoe3 hybrid when you actually play the game. The macro is difficult and is akin to that of AoC's, the micro is probably more similar to AoE3's. Hence, at its core, which is the gameplay and nothing else, the game is just like any other AoE.
