I recently bought Age of Empires III
Does anyone else play AoE III? I find it to be a pretty good Strategic Game, and it's set around the Civil War time, which make's it even funner.
What's your favorite Race as well?
Mine's Spanish, I have a level 20 HomeTown.

Does the online playing of AOE3 make it worth buying? 'Cuz 1&2 sucked in my opinion. I won't buy it unless it gets plenty of good reviews.

I found the demo to be very very laggy so i wont consider the full game unless i hear exeptionally good feedback about it, and no my pc doesn't suck ~~
is it the same aspects of AoE II ? or is it completely different? ( sorry my lack of knowledge about AoE III =) but i just have to know if its as unbalanced as AoE I and II was if im to consider buying it.
EDIT : Loits = my thoughts exactly, because theres no point of buying AoE III if its the same as AoE II with improved graphics hehe.
I CAN live with bad 2d / 3d graphics as long as i game classical / original games instead of the junk like Halo 2 and other totally far out crap games.

Is it the same old AoE over and over again or is there something new to make it worthwhile buying?

Well i think i may just be the only one here who likes the old aoe games. Well i've played aoe II at least. I'd play it when i comes out online cause i play aoe II online and i like that. The normal aoe game play get kinda boring after a while but i like Castle blood and stuff like that on aoe II. I think i'll buy aoe III sometime soon.
As long as darkness flows through my veins, I will never cease, As long as my dreams still haunt me, I will never show mercy, and as long as evil lives I will never die.....

Aoe III is nothing like it's past, Muchly Improved Graphics, with the Option to twist around to see the different angle's of the Game (Yes it's 3D). It dosent lag at all on my Computer, unless the Computer Player's spam the screen with alot of stupid crap.
##System Requirements##
Windows XP - 256MB RAM
Processor - 1.4 GHz
Hard Drive - 2GB
Video Card - 64MB with support for transformation and lighting.
It take's a decent computer to play Aoe III, but definentely worth it to spend your 50$ on it (Or someone elses...) The Online play is pretty cool as well.
And the Campaign is actually well balanced!
The Time Aoe III is set in is the Civil War Time's, the Time of the Musket's, Hussar's, Pikemen, Crossbowmen, Falcon Cannons, etc.
Overall I give it a 9.5 / 10 (Not enough Game Modes in Single Player!)
