3. While we still wait for an #RTS we can enjoy ethically, a great idea is to play #AgeOfEmpires, which has recently gotten a gorgeous make-over in something called "Definitive Edition"[4], which compiles base game, addon and all the additional content spanning twenty years. It even got its first DLC just two days ago![5].
