It's really just slightly improved graphics and some steam shit, not worth it at all.
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.

this is pretty much exactly what I've been wanting for a long time. literally said I would pay for a re-release of the game (not that aoe online piece of shit) with updated multiplayer, so that plus steamworkshop = sooo fucking epic.

Ill be buying this, if community gets re started we could see some EPIC mods on workshop that could convince people its worth buying, although it is a bit much.

It's much more than slightly better graphics. It should be stable, something which the old version never is any more because of compatibility issues, that's if you can even get it working right. And the multiplayer. Multi on age of empires hasn't worked properly for a long time. Making it work through steam is a wish come true as before you'd have to go through all kinds of hassle with Tunngle or some other program. As far as I'm concerned the multi is worth the £14 I just spent.

Plus there's no working comparison atm. AOE Online was no good in comparison and there really aren't any other games like this.

Besides a slight graphical bug I never have had any issues with AoE II and I still play it from time to time.

This is p much worth it just for MP on steam. Maybe I'll get paired up with less BR players than the other options available haha.
You think you're pretty smart with your dago mustache and your greasy hair.

Every time I've tried there's been some problem. Graphical glitches all over the place, crashing on start-up, crashing at various other times, sound not working...all sorts of things. Adding to the fact MP is a bitch to get working. Most people I know have the same problem...you are lucky  :P

Did they make any game improvements at all(except HD)? AoE2 interface is kinda retarded. :(

This is correct. These type of games are long dead. Only competitor is nowhere near finished but it is coming along nicely (0 A.D.). But it is different time frame, more like AoE Gold Edition remake.
