Age of Empires 2 has big tournaments as well, and the campaigns are fairly popular too I think.

It's a bit weird to me that AoE 2 is the most popular of that series, considering how much more streamlined and balanced Age of Mythology is.

For example, getting to the 3rd age in AoE 2 ASAP is basically mandatory, but in AoM you can potentially start attacking from the 2nd age. On top of that, getting to the 3rd age in AoE 2 takes much longer than AoM. So there's basically a whole lot of wasted time at the start of an AoE 2 match.

You're right. I'm biased because I'm watching Starcraft for years know, but never really AoE.

		Watch some Hera games. The level of play is next level. And Aoe2 is consistently getting official updates, there's 3 Indian and 4 Chinese civs now.
