Hi, AOE1 classic is best game ever. But look new AOE( I mean DE and return of Rome) they all dead game. And yes I get it in library but never touch. And look at the player AOE classic market in Vietnam and China. They still crowd so I want recommended for bring AOE classic to steam just balance same DE and return of Rome. Only balance because classic is best. They will buy it. And Rome +1 DE it fail of Microsoft:))

I don’t think they will bring it to Steam; they would feel that it is an unnecessary expense, although EA brought its collection of classic CNCs so who knows; maybe they sell it in a pack of classic AoE (AoE 1 Classic, AoE 2 HD, AoM EE and AoE 3 CC) and you also have the 25th anniversary pack (AoE 1,2,3 DE,4 and AoM Retold) it can be…

Both China and Vietnam still have major tournaments for it. By porting it to Steam for the west it would allow the game to become more and more competitive.
All they need to do is add very small changes that don’t effect balance. Such as spectator mode for tournaments and a ranked mode.

You mean the old one ?? from 1997 ?? Idk they made it … because Age1 have the classic one from 97 inside … its a option on the game to allow to play the real xp.

No it have but wrong way to play it. I’m play both AOE 1 and 2. But never touch AOE DE, include AOR.
I think that porting the original game to GOG as part of their Preservation Program is way better than releasing the game on Steam

it about way to play the game, AOE1 like a statue in Vietnam and Microsoft change the way to play it like AOE2 it is failure from start. Balance and new graphics is good it needed for classic but not new way to play, and it never welcome from classic plaryer. I play 1 and 2, but never touch for second time after try it include the AOR , it is AOE 2 not 1.

Age of Empires 1 available through Steam would be awesome. I would probably have the game installed with Upatch HD for those campaigns missing in Return of Rome.

That looks like a cool program.
I definitely think the game should be available somewhere for digital download and made playable on modern hardware because I’m pretty sure AoE1:DE doesn’t quite capture the original game too accurately.
Maybe I’m wrong on that since I only played DE once or twice, but I seem to remember encountering bugs, issues, and maybe some changes that weren’t in the original, aside from the main menu visuals. Am I incorrect on that?
Either way, I think it’d be great to have the original game available. Same for AoE2 and AoE3, actually, but that’s another story

Yes. DE do good when it update graphics, balance civ but it only that.
DE totally different with origin patch, the way to play, graphics ( it is bad really if compare with DE) but it will not make the image is confusing and hard to see and there are errors.
- People say look timeline is not unfair but AOE 1 different with AOE2 but it is AOE 1 not AOE2.
- 2 cheat farm it totally agree remove it,
- and build need touch just can stug, no it is not AOE2 , this mechanism very nice, with out wall it ok( I hate it) . When gamer The foundation strip blocks the opponent’s path. It is the is 1 of way to play aoe1_ you want to restrict it increase cost of house and gamers will harder to do it. Many thing I want to bring origin game to steam :)). But with balance or just change DE @@@. Origin game no balance so if you get Greek, Choson, Catha, Minoan almost you lose. So I said DE not AOE 1 but it have something I wish can bring to origin game.

changes that don’t affect balance? AoE1 has TERRIBLE balance.
