I liked the first two Age of empires RTS games, Ultimately they sagged in innovation department , Besides AOE I cant think of any other successful series of games by Ensemble.
They faced stiff competition in the RTS department, Far more then when they started. AOE III just didn't really blow me away all that much, SC and C&C are hard to top.
It seemed to me that they were just borrowing off of other popular games in their last batch of material,AOM is like warcraft III crossed with AOE, Some aspects I liked such as the customized tech tree for myth units, AOM just didn't suck me in like Warcraft III did.
