I bought it and YEA! I can win without having to play on slow speed or easy! The AI doesn't seem to be as agressive on Moderate in AOE3 as it was in AOE2.
Or maybe I'm getting better... Not! :whistle:
I love the scale of the war ships compared to the past games. It gives a much better sense of reality and their power. Not to mention they just look great. The way the masts, sails, chunks of wood go flying as they exploded. Excellent!
