    Mobile is undoubtedly the worst. It’s unbearable. Hardly even a game.

    I’ve never played the DS game. I might put Age of Empires Online in this spot instead.

    It’s unfortunate, to me, that 3 ended up this low. It’s not my favourite, by a long shot, but it’s functional and fun. Which is more than can be said for the DE version of 1. I love the bones of 1, but the DE was terrible. So terrible that they tried releasing it again in the Return to Rome DLC for 2.

    Which leaves us with the 3 good games. Being the mod of !aom@lemm.ee, nobody should be surprised that my favourite is Myth. 4 is actually my second favourite, and 2 is only in 3rd place. But Myth still has too many bugs and missing polish features. Even though it’s my #1 favourite, if I was asked to list which I think is the best, I’d put it in 3rd.

    Mbin and others might have issues with Lemmy created links

    But shouldn’t the plain !aom@lemm.ee be enough? Not sure about the link above, I’ve seen original lucifer post those before, never really investigated why

    I’m very nervous about the game’s future, given the AoE3 remake was just officially mothballed last week and AoM has fewer active players on Steam.

    But for the game in its current state, I’d say that yes, it’s really, really good. It made a fair few changes from the old version, nearly all of which are excellent improvements. They said their goal was to make this game the game you remember playing through nostalgia goggles, rather than being strictly faithful to the original, and I think they did that really well. You can build bigger armies and reuse god powers. Better quality of life features, etc.

    The Chinese expansion releases next month, and they’ve committed to at least one more expansion after that (by preselling the Premium Edition with the first 2 expansions). Aztects or something else from the Americas is likely. If it turns out those expansions are going to be cheap and rushed and crap just to meet their contractual obligations, that’s really unfortunate. I really hope that won’t happen. But in the worst case…the game with what they’ve released already is really good.

    Feel free to head over to !aom@lemm.ee if you want to discuss more.

    OP’s link is bad - they’ve created a direct link to the community on lemm.ee and named that link !aom@lemm.ee, rather than just typing !aom@lemm.ee. Lemmy and PieFed can both handle the link, but it seems that Mbin is struggling with it.

    A proper ! link should work on Mbin - you’ve previously said that Mbin has been configured to point ! links to ‘/search?’, so an unknown community gets resolved.

    As for solving the problem of Lemmy throwing a generic error page whilst its backend is busy resolving unknown communities, that’s a UX issue for the devs to fix, or for the users to know that they need to press ‘refresh’.

    That both Mbin and Lemmy have a ‘/search’ endpoint is more of a coincidence than anything - I don’t think it can be relied upon to provide some kind of universal ‘fediverse link’ (and I’m not just saying that because PieFed has no clue what to do with your link!)

    That’s how Lemmy does by default if you use the autocompletion built in the interface.

    Probably something to raise to the devs
