    So i loved (and own) both Age of Empires 1 and 2 and the expansions, but i never got around to buying the 3rd one. I was at best buy the other day and i saw the Complete Collection for AOE3 and i was wondering if this was still worth buying, 3-ish years since the last expansion came out.
     
    EDIT: and by the way its 50 bucks

    @RTSlord:  $50?  No, probably not worth the money.  I've seen it on sale for half that.  If you can stomach MS Games for Windows Live, it can cost as little as $20.  
     
    I bought it for cheap and have enjoyed it for what it's worth.  For some reason, they made it more difficult to use advanced military tactics and instead have moved to a grouping strategy.  The combat isn't nearly as intuitive.  I didn't like the campaign mode nearly as much because I couldn't have the same level of control as in AOE II.
     
    Hope this helps!
