Age2 needs a more intense battle。

Landmarks of Age 2 for Many Nationalities. They are only available for use during the period of age 2.
But currently, these landmarks only serve their function of entering the next age.
“Why are you attacking me in age2?”
“If Age 2 cannot launch a large-scale attack, this game will become an hour long battle. The gamers will become very tiring. You have 2tc but i build 2nd tc not quickly. i will lose this game! my Landmarks of Age 2 do nothing, but age3 is coming. In age3 my Nation not better then yours. Which Nation is OP in AGE 3, they will be the version OP Nation. Especially Holy Rome. Holy Rome can enter age4 at an incredible speed( 8:37)."
If the game has useful battles in age 3. Why do we need to have age1 and age2.
I even believe that in age 1, we should start fighting. In Age of Empires 2, the intention of game design is to hunt deer and wild boars and fight against enemies in Age 1 and Age 2. In Age 3, we only began farming. But currently, farming is in age 4 because both age 1 and age 2 are competing to see who will enter age 3 first. Without war, there would be no food consumption. So we only started farming after 40 minutes.
The designers of Age of Empires 2 never imagined that they would enter Age 2 without any combat in Age 1. The original design purpose of Age of Empires 2 was not esports. But playing this game with great joy and contentment. Instead of being filled with stress and fatigue. I am afraid every day that I cannot keep up with the times and have fewer villagers than my opponents. Gamers should not have such great pressure.
Since the villagers cannot stop production, why not let TC automatically produce.

Um what, This game has so many options for age 1 and age 2 aggression. Battering Rams are available age 2. A lot of civs have bonuses that encourage age 2 aggression.
It’s more expensive to age up in AoE 4. Enemy aggression can stop, reset, and deny age up resources by destroying the landmark before it is complete. Town Centers got nerfed last year.

Just play Goths and mass a bunch of M@A with some scouts or skirms to back them up, then simply just charge the TC.
