True Age of Empires II
+Intro
-Many maps called "Age of Empires" exist on B.net today. However, not only are the unit names and stats grossly inaccurate, every one that I've seen use the Diplomacy engine, with the characteristic turn based incomes.
-TAOE2, however, will play as similar to the actual AOE2 as possible. From real time resource gathering to unit attributes pulled from the AOE2 instruction manual, the goal of the map is to get as close to real AOE2 as the SC mapping engine allows.
-The brainstorming stage has been completed, as I've already made a proof-of-concept map years ago.

Good luck with this Fred. I have high hopes for this one, especially after that masterpiece called Majesty.

This looks like it will turn out good. Too bad everything is at 0%. Ideas are sometimes the hardest part in map making. Keep us updated

Someone give me feedback about my format. I think the text might be too small to read.
Well, actually, I think it may be easier. But I've started AOE2 before and now I want to remake and finish it.

I think the format looks good, easy to read and understand. Those colors go well together.

Change the name, "True" sounds so unproffesional.
As if there is a false Age of Empires. -_-

I'll either make boats be able to go over ground or make them confined to rivers in a way that kills them if they go on land. Obviously the first choice sounds better.

There are many Diplo AOEs.

I know, I've played them. They all suck.. Just like every Rise of Rome (Rome never used Chariots in war, so why is their special Roman Chariots? Stupid map -_-)
But still, it just sounds so unproffesional!

Why not just buy AOE2? It's like 8 dollars now.

Another reason that I'm not making AOE3 is that I don't own it. 
Map shouldn't take too many hours to make, I probably won't work on it with as much fervor as Majesty though. No deadlines, no rush.

When I first made this map years ago, I gave the computer force (Gaia) a Zerg base. When the players advance through the ages, Gaia's AI would get increasingly harder.
"Wolves and Wild Boars are wiping out the town after severe deforestation angered Mother Earth!"
I'll at most do that as an Easter Egg this time.

If you actually read the first post, you'd know that this is NOT a Diplo map.
