Agree to disagree. I think Grey Goo and Ashes of the Singularity are pretty average, but they’re also not that new anymore. Tempest Rising was a self-aware CnC knockoff, but a really competent one!

I’m on my mobile, and a semi-recent forum update made the editor a lot worse on mobile, so forgive me. But why are you asking? What are you hoping to see?

Like, there are absolutely repeated digs at AoE IV. And I’d expect it! So why is vice versa a problem? We all have our favourites. You’re posting in the AoE IV subforum 🙂
