    yup, back before the days of youtube, i would never have been able to get good at starcraft broodwar like i did had it not been for alot of other ppl. And sure if ur serious about being good, u can pick up alot by playing and watching others, but still, to have others actually explain things to you and stuff like that is much more helpful.

    Longtime RTS player back In high school (RA2, AOE2, BFME, early Total Wars, etc) It’s been almost 2 decades, but I’m getting back into the genre with BAR and AOE4. Any other good recommendations for multiplayer RTS? SC2 still looks like it has the higher skill floor.

    For execution, pretty sure SC2 is still king. AoE2 and AoE4, however, have a lot more strategy. It depends on what type of game you enjoy. The monotonous nature of SC2 (very few factions and mirrored maps) is not apealing to me.

    Just by 2 cents, but I'd recommend jumping right into Vs ai on easy and seeing how it feels. If you're a history buff, definitely try the campaigns, but as for getting a feel of the game, once you've got the basics, Vs the ai is a good place to get competent, especially if your raise the difficulty frequently. Humans are much better opponents than AI but they can be daunting to play against. I rarely play Vs humans with my friend as an ally lol.

    Don't worry about metas, just find a civ you are comfortable with, a unit you like, try to find an easy to follow build order and that's it. For beginners, if you can just stablish units on the map, more often than not you will win, and if you don't, just try again.

    I've found that the AOE discord community has people good about helping with coaching and practise. This all being said the previous comment makes sense too, Ultimately the joy of the game is the best thing to pursue both in terms of the best use of your leisure, and because as it so happens it'll make you stronger at the game. Or another option can be to practise build orders via a series of lightning rounds against a computer, resetting the match every time a mistake is made.

    All Age of Empires games are fundamentally different in the way they play. I suggest you look at some gameplay across the games and decide which one you like the most. AoE2 & AoE4 are the most played and popular of the franchise, and they're both set around the Feudal Ages. :)
