My favourite game series on PC is probably age of empires. I have played them too much though and want a new RTS game. I want a game that is like age of empires. so you have to gather resources to build more buildings and upgrade your army.
Which one would you recommend?
thanks in advance

Cossacks: European Wars
Cossacks: Back To War

The most similar game to AoE that I have come across. They are old (not as old as AoE), but still great, great fun! As long as you build dwellings and have a good fodd income, your army can be insanely big - the only downfall to AoE :)
