Third: The game fortunatelly adds some aspects of fan patches of the original aoe3, but their insistency in archaic mechanics (like the way that some natives colect gold) leads to a more slugish game, as many of those mechanics dont fit here. The age of Empires remakes and HDs are known for being bad, but the last AOE and AOE3 DE really settle a lower a bar from what was already underground.
Secondly, the multiplayer does not properly work.
There are mods and fan projects of the original game with good enough designs that were infinitelly lighter than this one (and mind you, with a better color pallete and saturation). For starters: I have no idea of why the game is so heavy and badly optimized (I will put my two cents on the new models). Aoe3 DE by itself is already a problematic game, but the fact that this was a remasted done by one of the largest companies on earth trully Aoe3 DE by itself is already a problematic game, but the fact that this was a remasted done by one of the largest companies on earth trully shows that the Dutch Diseases may also be present on the gaming industry.
