Not to derail the thread further, but how was Empire Earth? I think I recall hearing something about it being done by the lead designer of AoE II, but I never tried it.

Quite a lot of the guys I played AOE II with online tried EE. Some of them really liked it. Most of them thought the ages weren't balanced enough. In AOE, if I was in the age before my opponent, it is possible to compete for a short time. The impression I get with EE was once you were "on top" it was difficult to lose.
edit: you have to remember the time that passed between AOE II and RON - RON came out quite a long time after AOE II. You would hope that RON would improve...
