This was a great piece about such an important aspect of PC game development. I remember how blown away I was by AOE when I first played it. I will never forget the first time I saw my villager lugging a mammoth size pieced of beef to the storage pit! Though AOE was not the first RTS, IMO, it had more influence than any other series on the RTS genre. Thanks Troy for assembling Ensemble's story, they deserve to have it shared with the gamers who appreciate and will miss their collective work.
