Track 2 title refers both to CP-symmetry (an advanced physics reference) and Civil Protection Violation (since it plays when Gordon is about to break the laws of the Combine). But yeah folks, the abbreviation gives weird vibes at first glance...

I honestly believe that this game should be included with AoE 3 DE as a legacy unsupported version now that it got (or will be?) removed from Store. Some people enjoy the old style and interface, besides other nostalgic gamers still into LAN parties. We also got Emoticons and Cards so it is sad that newer generations will not see how AoE 3 was originally created by legendary Ensemble Studios.

dude you can get a flying saucers in a Age of Empires game, 10/10

the old portraits still are a must have for me on Retold. If you search for Zeus on search engines, the first page of image results will display the face of Zeus from OG Age of Mythology. Now it tells something

Enhanced Graphics Pack makes AoE II from 1999 truly beautiful... I can't figure out any other RTS as pleasant to look at.

It is a bit heavy in terms of size but I would say that you must try it if you are planning to play the game for the first time ever.

gosh, REMOVE this new gray art from the game library, it really looks like someone died

This old AoM got exclusive custom campaigns and runs on any low end potato computer. Pick this up when cheap!

After 25 years, instead of Half-Life 3 we got 3 Updates for Half-Life 1 in less than a month, 10/10

The DLC "Return of Rome" is based in the first game of the franchise made in 1997 (two years before the release of Age of Kings, the "Original" Age of Empires 2) which will be essentially a conversion from the medievalist theme to antiquity swords-and-sandals style. That speaks volumes on how comfortable and pleasant is this title... The game engine has one of the best ever created for a RTS game. This is a must have for any strategy game fan, even if you only want the base game.

Totally worth every single penny.

Maybe you didn't pay attention but read again in the description what the 45th President of the United States of America said about this DLC if you still need reasons to get this

free stuff dudes, simply get it as soon as possible
