I don't like AoE(2). Because i played Stronghold first.

These are different types of games. I love both of them. Stronghold, because it's good castle sim with huge battles, and AoE because of it's diversity in units, civilizations and micromanagement.

I'm not the best with micro in such games, but I enjoyed AoE2, played lots of hours with my friend.

So we did with Stronghold :)

I have a AOE 1 and AOE 2 collection bought just a few years ago. However I can't get the music for AOW 2 to work, it seems like it is not included in game, just as a soundtrack. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Even though Stronghold is absolutely nothing like AoE 2? Thats like saying "I would've liked Warcraft 2, but I played Commandos first."
