i perfer AOW. it has way more replayability, and if a sequel comes out (it better!) then it could be even more awesome...er. if warlords has a sequel, all it could have is more races.
AOW 2 could have more troops, more ages (roman, mesopatamian(after stone, before medivial)an only slightly futuristic time, something WWII or civil war time, many options) more turrets, and more styles of game play. why not have a mode where you are stuck in a certain age? or first to ______ age wins? a mode where you can't use ceratin troops?one where you can ONLY use the most expensive troop, but are constantly gaining small amounts of money? all sound like good ideas to me.
