I belive that automatic farms will destroy part of the game , i know they can be improved so you can manage them more efficientlly instead of just an autofarm, my ideaFear not! The original AoE1 is being released without any changes whatsoever!
Stop with this.
No one wants the old AOE with old graphics.
You’re making an hold up on the new AOE DE that you want in face be an AOE4.
Why don’t you go to a topic for an AOE4, and lets us with the AOE >>>1<<<< DE, remastered ?
Fear not! AoEDE is being released with countless balance changes, upgraded graphics, and tons of new stuff, and it’s being release right beside the original AoE1 with no changes whatsoever, all in a two-games-in one bundle.
This forum is like we are all taking a big family vacation to a beach resort at the base of a ski mountain and we are spending the whole plane ride arguing about whether we should ski or swim. Chill out. We can do both.

And you know what, Andy, if I were the mom or dad driving the car on said holiday (Forgotten Empires in this case) and no one would stop arguing I would simply turn the car around and take everyone home.
I VOTE NO FARMS FOR ANYONE.
NO ORIGINAL FARMS.
NO AUTO-FARMS.
May your villagers starve and your fields lay bare.

Glad we’re not going on one of those boring DIY-vacations at some guy’s farm trying to figure out how to enjoy ourselves all day.

Still: Why nobody is complaining in AOE 2 about auto farms? Why do they have so much fun with AOE 2, when auto farms are so bad?Your Link explain your thoughts and the thoughts of some others, but it´s still subjective, what kind of multitasking is for someone fun and not. And most people don´t share that thoughts and again, why is no one complaining in AOE 2 about the functions? Just because it´s AOE 2? That wouldn´t make sense!
I just share the opinion that infinite farms are bad, because that changes the economy.
In the current AOE 1 units are very simple. You build what is best for your civ and that’s it. Not much of a strategy on that side. Economy is the strategic part of AOE 1 so it should not be simplified to the same level as in every other RTS game.
If the balance of units and civ are changed and you need to spend more time on unit creation/management, then it would be appropriate to make the maintaining of economic simpler.

They are going to fix the unit and civilization balance so that every unit is worth at least considering. But even if it’s not changed, I can’t think of many things that AoE2 has for keeping the player busy, but is lacking in AoE1. What exactly is it that makes AoE2 interesting despite the added automation? I can’t think of anything and can only assume that AoE1 would not become any more boring either even if the QoL features are added without changing anything else.
Hi. I think that a lot of people need to understand this is a Definitive edition. I personally think this means not only the devinitive edition for AoE 1, but for the whole franchise. The devs went back to the roots of the series with rhis remaster of AoE1. But I personally think this will also be the very last.
That’s why I think it’s not a very bad idea to add the best things of every game (ofc not from AoE3 because this game has no good things exept the graphics :’) ). Then you’ve got the best things within one game! And if you want to re-feel that origional and nostalgic gameplay, then you can always play the classic mode.
I personally already want to play both.

definitive edition means nothing.
They are preparing age of empire4…
don’t use age of empire1 like a trojan horse to have an new [mod edit: do not bypass the profanity filter] modern RTS
We are a community of people who waited for this game since 20years.
Don’t steal our waiting.
And trust us, the game will be better.

not agree.
_sc2 is a lot more successful than aoe1 and has zerg. so i wabt zergs in aoe1 !_what u have to do instead of planting farms?
me i want automatic army production. i have better thing to do than producing army.
i want automatic build order. i have better stuff to do than creating an economy.
i want automatic battle i have better thing to do than giving orders in battle…seriously your arguments make nosense.
aoe is a rts. and rts is not a 4x like civilisation. youre supposed to multitask. prioritize tasks. decide. organize.
increase your apm to do more stuff at tje same time.
by introducing automatic farm you broke all thoses mecanics. you kill the game itself.
Star craft 1 is actually more popular, star craft 2 was only slightly more popular in the west. It never caught on in the east. Get your facts right.
If a post in a different thread is relevant to this discussion, please state it here. If we have multiple threads all discussing the same thing, we may need to combine the discussions.
@“Andy P” : Well go find some zippers and good luck merging, because there are ‘farm que-discussions’ everywhere on this forum.
It has officially replaced the whole ‘gate-situation’ that was going on, earlier on.
I know. It’s an epidemic. Every time someone has something to say, they run off and start their own thread about it. We are still working out the creaks in the new forum – we seem to have way too many subforums (in my view) so things are getting tossed around everywhere. I don’t even know how some of these subforums are remotely different than AoEDE General Discussion.
We mods will sort this mess out soon enough. Tons of players + brand new forum software + huge new game announcement = messy forum.
Remember when multiple farmers could work on single farm.

I think that is in Rise of Rome. If so, it would be the case in AoEDE.
IN ROR (with upatch) you don’t get resources any faster by putting two or more workers on one farm. The second one wont collect nor increase the collecting speed of the first worker.
Well that’s stupid. I’m not out here under this hot sun hoeing for my health.
I know the origional Age of Empires has no physics and its all 2-dimensional.
But I stumbled across this old video, and it is amazing to see AoE with real physics!!
VIDEO
(Probably just a render)
I don’t know if it’s possible because it’s sprite-based, but it would be amazing to see a little physics
