Any free to play RTS games like age of empires on steam?

[Westdog01]

I have been looking forever, and I can't find one that is close enough to age of empires. I lost my age of empires disc and can't find it. I have looked everywhere. Does anybody know of any games on steam like age of empires?

Free to Play and RTS is like drugs and alcohol.

Don't.

RTS and free2play don't go too well with each other. f2p games usually in team games, whereas strategies are 1v1, so in team games it's "even out" design flaw of f2p business model, both teams can have either leveled up or non-leveled players. In 1v1 it's unfair when one of players have +5 attack on their unit and they win every time just becuase they grinded more or even paid.

You'd rather pay for game and have balanced match where you rely on skill, than game where you lose because opponent paid or grinded more or you win because you grinded more.

I did give you a "legit" answer. My answer was don't try F2P RTSs because they are all bad.

The reason they are all bad is because they are Pay to Win AF, and many of them are impossible unless you start playing just as they open up a new server because otherwise you'll always be screwed over by people who have been playing for many months longer than you and have a million times the resources.

You asked for good F2P RTSs. So don't get "ticked off" at me when I tell you that there aren't any.

I doubt you'll find anything similar for free on Steam. Anyway, here is a nice list of similar games if you'd be ready to spend some bucks https://www.gameslike.com/games-like-age-of-empires/

Not only is this thread almost 7 months old, but the only free to play games on that list that are free-to-play are Anno Online and The Settlers Online

Neither of those are Real Time Strategy Games, they're MMOs with city building.

I know this is an old discussion, but I refuse to live in a world where someone asks if there is a free RTS like Age of Empires and nobody mentions 0 AD. So there, I mentioned it. Here's the link:
