Because most people can look past the art style and enjoy the game for how it play functionally. you should try that.

A more realistic game does not mean a better game. The games mecanics are far more interesting and depth than Ages of Empire's ones, that's all.

How can you compare 4X game to RTS in the first place?

what is age of empires?

[jmerry82]

"Age of Empires" is a series of real-time strategy games with a historical theme. You gather resources, train troops, and build your town up from practically nothing to castles and cannons, all while competing with one or more rivals doing the same thing; the usual win condition is to destroy your rivals' towns.

Unlike many games in the genre that have a few factions which play in radically different ways, the "civilizations" in Age of Empires share most of their unit and technology options, differing only in a few spots - unique units and abilities.

People seem to like comparing the series because they both have that historical theme, but the gameplay is radically different and they simply appeal to different audiences.

Maybe first you should try to understand the difference between real-time strategy and turn based strategy.

One of the two is much more action oriented and requires a high-reaction time while the other is more about thinking your strategies through and making your move when you are ready without having the pressure of time.

And guess what? While seeing lots of action can be a lot of fun (especially if you're younger) the constant pressure of having to be fast with clicks and so on can be very exhausting while just looking at the map and seeing something evolve turn by turn can be quite relaxing...

"I don't get it. Why do people even play chess? The game pieces are boring, there's only 2 colors and you can't even earn money. Why not play monopoly?"

But Monopoly is turn based as well....

How can you use the word better then only speak about graphics? I feel like scope or scale would be missed by you so we'll just address the graphics. Civ 6 looks almost identical to Age of Empires 4. No one thinks one looks better than the other except people whos eyes dont work. Age of Empires 2 looks cool and such but certainly not better, ♥♥♥♥'s fuzzy af.

Comparing the two games is like comparing a hot dog to a kiwi. One is an RTS strategy game with rudimentary base building and RTS battles. The other is a turn-based game, construction sim that leads a civilization through world history, with rudimentary politics and you can even play without war at all if you want. 💁‍♂️
