Before too long you will run out of sheep, berries and animals to hunt and just do farming for food. Originally posted by afLaSHman:I should add that sort of mini-game thing with optimizing food production is just a dark age thing. The equivalent in RoN is research - keep pressing the tab button and make sure you are constantly researching. With RoN you don't have to spend so much time looking after the villagers. The other thing you must do is keep cycling through each TC and press the hotkey to make a new villager (I usually queue two new villagers for each TC at a time). I always assign the idle villager hotkey to my scroll down mouse button, that way I can easily keep on top of the villagers and make sure they are productive. It is not that hard really, especially if you use hotkeys. In Age of Empires 2 you constantly make villagers and constantly move them around as resources run out. So long as you have new farms queued the farming villagers will automatically build new farms. To avoid villagers standing around idle after the farms run out, you can queue extra farms at the mill. Farms run out after a little, which is something you have to look out for.

Thus while most of them spent a number of years playing AoE2 they switched to RoN and have never gone back. I have many friends who consider AoE2 to be too fiddly, and requiring of too much economic micromanagement. It actually takes quite a bit of microing skill to pull this one small component of the game perfectly.ītw these qualities that I think make AoE2 a great game also annoy some players. If you fail to follow the steps in absolutely the most optimum way you will fall behind your enemy badly. This actually takes a fair amount of skill, especially for a newb. And when you do finally build those farms you have to mindful of their placement. You have to first find the sheep, bring them back to the TC, then hunt the boar, build a mill, collect the berries, and then build farms. In the Dark Age you don't simply build farms, if you are seeking to optimize food production. Take the collection of resources in AoE2 for example. For an example of this check out ZeroEmpires youtube channel, especially the commented games featuring the Viper. The amount of strategy guides, youtube tutorials and commented pro-games for AoE2 truly is vast.
It is also far better documented than RoN. AoE2 is much more micro oriented than RoN2. Originally posted by afLaSHman:There are fewer ages in AoE2 but there are more features related specifically to those ages than the ages in Rise of Nations.
There are fewer ages in AoE2 and it takes longer to progress through the Ages, but those Ages are far more detailed.ītw these qualities that I think make AoE2 a great game also annoys some players. It actually takes quite a bit of microing skill to pull-off this one small component of the game perfectly. You have to first find the sheep, bring them back to the TC, then hunt the boar (hunting the boar is a mini-game in its own right), build a mill, collect the berries, and then build farms. There are fewer ages in AoE2 but there are more features related specifically to those ages than the ages in Rise of Nations.
