[poll] Return of Rome: How much AoE1 and how much AoE2 do you want?

Well, AoE2 civs have castles, gates, and comparatively insane siege units. I’m also pretty sure a lot of them outmatch anything from AoE1 in terms of range.

Hard to compare because AoE1 tiles are smaller then AoE2 tiles.
So on paper the catapult outranged a castle. And every unit is 33% faster too.

@Temudhun

AoE1 civs may deal more damage and have more durability, but I’m not sure it would be enough to completely outmatch AoE2.

Easily 2x the HP and a higher attack speed while also having lower costs overall.

@Temudhun

This is all technicalities, though, if there’s a game mode to have both game compete I’m pretty sure those differences would be toned down.

Not really. For example AoE1 and AoE2 villagers have the same stats.
Clubman and Militia have similar stats.
But Legions are easily 2x as strong as Champions while being cheaper.

AoE1 units get a lot stronger though the ages compared to AoE2 while starting with similar numbers.

I talked about all of those things in my thread
AoE1DE should become an AoE2DE Expansion

There is a long list of differences.
Not impossible but hard and would require a lot of rebalance of the AoE1 part.
