Until 2022, the game still has many bugs:
1. AIs will not do any operation in a restored multiplayer game. https://forums.ageofempires.com/t/ai-behaving-weirdly-on-reloaded-game/66019
2. You may suddenly lose control of the game: the game is still running, but you can't control any units, and you can't open the main menu, options or have a pause either(This seems to happen on computers that have more than one input methods). All you can do is hope that the game is automatically saved and restore the saved game after forced restart.
