My god there's no tutorial ?

[MF]

Complete and utter newb. Install. Load up. Not a clue what to do and the game tells me diddly.

Did it just assume I cam from an earlier game ??????

[Atrugiel]

In Main Menu -> Tools -> Tutorial
Master the basics and try a game

Additionally Art of War explains some mechanics

[Atrugiel]

Oh very generous of you but I only get to play in very small chunks at a time. Appreciate the offer though.

oh don't feel bad, it's obvious once you know it's there but it's actually kinda weird for it to be there compared to nearly every other RTS on the market.

I actually own all of the first three games - seriously wondering where to start. I've started to tinker with all the tutorials. Heh....... kinda remoinds me of Valheim in a way. AS if that game had a baby with Total War.

AoE 3 has the least micro, AoE 2 has the most. If you want to get into AoE 2 I recommend checking out Spirit of the Law's stuff on youtube, playing the tutorial, and at least fiddling with the Art of War campaigns in it.
I can't give you advice on how to become competitive, but that should give you a solid base to beat the AI.
AoE 3 has more moving parts, but they move more on their own.

Uh, I'd say the level of micro required in AoE 3 is fairly similar. Units may not miss but due to the snare, you especially want to micro your cav to avoid them getting snared.

the campaign also is a good start
