  • The AOE3 demo has got to be one of the biggest disappointments I've ever experienced.

    The UI for the game is absolutely awful. Where are the buttons to change AI stance from aggressive to defensive? What about formation buttons?

    The tab feature that HIDES all the essential data on units and buildings? Who thought of that?

    And, worst of all, there is a pop cap in the game (because I was constantly hitting it) but THERE WAS NO UI DISPLAY FOR THE POPULATION. I could not find it anywhere. I still cannot believe that this was a deliberate decision.

    Looks very much like an attempt to streamline the UI for mass appeal. Too bad they lost all the detail and usefulness.

    Way to suck, Ensemble.
