3D that looks like 2D but has all the advantages of 3D > 2D

AoE 3 wasn't that hot, but it sure wasn't because of going 3D.

I wish the zoom level would have been the only or at least one of the bigger problems of AoE 3, I really do.

They managed give us a much further away angle in 3D in Age of Mythology years ago - AoE3's angle was a consequence of trying to turn the series into a quick multiplayer game - small maps, hardly differences between random maps (for balancing reasons), etc.

I remember setting up 3 player lans of AOE2 for my mates using my PC, my Dad's and my sister's. We used to hog all the computers in the house for days. Those were the days...

Vegetarian thing - it's actually a game mechanic, that they can't hunt and harvest animals like the other aoe3 factions, so they've a strong focus on farms and orchards for food. Which I really should have mentioned somewhere. I am quite dumb, unfortunately.
They can fish eventually, but a ton of so-called vegetarians these days do too. Being an actual vegetarian myself, I call such people "liars."

You can change AOE3's zoom level in the options. It's at least possible to get it to the same level as AOM.
