Return of Rome is finally here

@DesAnderes

Unit upgrades are differently balanced. I’m pretty sure AoE2 does have many more amour classes.

AoE1 has a lot less units. Adding the Camel Armour class to the one Camel unit shouldn’t be hard.
The same for thing like Elephant or Cavalry Archer armour classes.

@DesAnderes

AoE1 didn’t feature herdables

Maybe RoR does. That’s more of a map feature then a civilisation feature, isn’t it?

@DesAnderes

AoE1 can’t garrison

Good chance they added that to RoR.

@DesAnderes

AoE1 has nothing that could fight a castle, bombardtower etc.

The Stone Thrower line outranges towers in AoE1 so why shouldn’t it outrange AoE2 Towers and Castles?

@DesAnderes

Water was balanced very differently

This is definitely the hardest part.

For a lot more analysis of how to balance AoE1 against AoE2 in a crossover mode:
AoE1DE should become an AoE2DE Expansion
