When you've hit Post-Imperial, and there are hundreds of units to manage, these small changes make a huge difference. Below each resource is also a value that indicates how many villagers are collecting at the given time. Along with standard resource counts, the idle villager icon has been moved up top and shows how many idles you have. Your global queue of tech and units now includes icons in the top-left corner of the screen, just below the reworked toolbar. And you can now queue up technologies and units at the same time, allowing less downtime for production buildings while you're busy managing other aspects of the game. Trebuchets will now pack and unpack automatically when you assign them to attack a certain building either in or out or range. Units can have multiple waypoints set at once, meaning you can chart out a path for your original scout (or any other unit) and not have to continuously click a new place for it to travel to. No more spamming the farm queue button and eventually running out ten minutes later. Starting out, you can now set farms to automatically reseed as long as wood stocks allow. Still, there are some significant changes that benefit everyone and ultimately make the game a lot more fun to play in Dark Age through to Imperial Age. I'm still uncovering small tidbits that make macro- and micro-managing easier. Gameplay is immediately familiar, but the myriad QoL improvements also make it seem new.Īge of Empires II has never looked so good, and the developers have kept the feel of the original game. Hotkeys can be set to classic or to a grid-like method - the top row of the keyboard is used for the top line of your commands, middle row for middle line, and on - that's easier for newcomers to pick up. I played a lot of the original and HD versions, and I was able to jump into a Definitive Edition skirmish and play without having to make many adjustments.
Age of Empires II isn't a game that needed any major mechanics reworked, and that's been honored here in the Definitive Edition.
