After hundreds of hours studying military strategies and analyzing balance, it’s clear that Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition still suffers from serious mechanical flaws. Many updates have made the game worse — introducing overpowered units, broken bonuses, and unfair population values.

As a strategist with over two decades of RTS experience, I’m documenting these issues and proposing direct mechanical fixes.
FixAoE2.xyz presents solutions through realistic unit costs, balanced population values, stronger defenses, and more consistent civilization design.

This project pushes for an AoE2 where no civilization wins through design flaws or cheap exploits — only through strategy and skill.

⚙️ What Defines an Exploit

“Whether it was intended or not doesn’t matter — the outcome is what matters.
If a mechanic gives one side an unfair advantage that breaks core balance, it’s an exploit.”
