Re: Official "Age of Empires II: HD Edition" arrives April 9
All versions should be compatible.
Otherwise someday we have all the comunity split, a comunity that tends to disappear with time.
Some play old Aoe, others play this new HD version, others AoeFE, others DM or scenarios or whatever.
I'm not sure that this will imply a larger community. Players that never played AokTC will still prefer games with 'newer looks'.
In my opinion this is a bit short and i suppose that didn't involved a lot of work. It's an easy (almost amateur kind) upgrade that didn't implied a great investment..
Units and maps visual enhancements could and should have been made in my opinion (but not too hardware demanding). Also i would enjoy more players in a single multiplayer game, like for instance a 6v6 game
