I've been playing in Rise of Rome (AOE1) for years with a friend (multiplayer, local): we 2 against 3-4 enemies. I've suggested playing AOE2 a few times (with year-length intervals) but every time he refused, mainly due to colorful lines drawn on objects behind other objects. I'm planning on suggesting again but it's occurred to me recently that, in case of "yes", it should be something remarkable to have continuation (and I really want it).
I know how to play AoK, my friend doesn't though I believe it wouldn't be hard to get the grasp because of the AOE-origin.
Do you have any ideas on making a good or even perfect first multiplayer game for him and me? (though his interest is of greater priority for me).
The preconditions are that he and me are the only human players and we play pure AOE2: the Conquerors and Age of Kigns (no rajas or other).
What about the number of computer players, map, settings, etc., etc., etc.?
Please, remember, it's a 1-time attempt.
