Yes,it is not techically slow,but as concept,starcraft franchise is about speed and action,while AOE is certainly slower by design,it would be like comparing car races,starcraft is F1, fast cars,precission,details…other races are different with other type of stuff,not necessarily being worse or better, but I think in terms of esport starcrat is way way ahead respect aoe. You still do things every second and you really don’t run out of things to do (any extra APM could go to harassment, etc.). When I play the game, it doesn’t feel slow, but it does feel slower than SC2. As a viewer, it has less bursts of excitement that SC2 encompasses. Games are decided by your overall performance not just a single micro mistake. You can not instantly die to mine drops, DTs or disruptor shots.

What I love about Age of Empires 4 is that, apart from being really fun to play, there are no sudden death scenarios. But a good SC2 player will be a good AOE4 player. MarineLord currently is ranked nr1.īasically, most RTS skills are transferable between SC2 and AOE4 it is just that decision making, and macro have a higher impact in AOE4 compared to micro and reaction speed. Serral is ranked 25 in AOE4 and lots of SC2 player have a high ranking. That said Macro is much more complex in AOE4 and since maps are different each game you need to be much more intelligent with how you adapt to the map compared to SC2.īut high APM is still an advantage since you can macro better while managing multiple armies if you have higher APM. Games are mostly decided by macro and strategical and tactical decision making and less by micro and reaction speed.

In both games being fast in important but speed is not as critical in AOE4.
