    I think Age of Empires was actually a great introduction to history for a lot of kids.

      I can 100% confirm that, despite going on to earn a history degree, when I think of Joan of Arc, William Wallace, Genghis Khan, or Saladin, I think of the campaigns from AoE2

        I specified older versions as I want my original CD image to work because it has nice translation, local multiplayer, probably lower energy consumption and is free for me.

        I see DE keys for Steam for $8, but I’d need a bunch of them if I’d ever want to have a lan party.

          would that not just require you to go through the voobly process for the original version of aoe2? https://reddit.com/r/aoe2/comments/2zyogr/how_to_playing_aoe_ii_on_voobly_on_linux_with_wine/

          its basically what aoe2 users did before DE, as aoe2hd was a bad modernized port.

      It works great through proton. I just purchased the Difinitive Edition on steam a couple days ago.

        I wish I can launch the OG one for many reasons, but I couldn’t manage to make it work.

        Does DE support local MP, connecting by IP?

      Praise God! Henry’s come to see us!

      I haven’t played KCD2 yet, but I hope Henry becomes a Hussite radical.

        Jan Hus is stirring up trouble but Henry goes to Kuttenberg in KCD2, not Prague. Hus and the Hussites are mentioned a few times in passing.

          Kuttenberg sounds really funny in Dutch, it basically translates to “Cunts Mountain”.
