AOE 3 is still a superior game to 4, which is largely a regression for the genre.

Which is pretty funny because I distinctly remember AOE 3 being seen as a regression from 2.

I do remember liking the home city mechanics. Almost a roguelike in that you could improve your games over time out of band

I honestly prefer AoE 1, though I like both 1 & 2. Everything past 2 feels wrong.

I think the home city shipments, training on blocks of 5, and no resource drop-off were vast improvements.
