Is heavy microing required for Aoe2?

I'm gonna be honest, the only time I flexed my microing muscles was in 2016 playing Dota 2. (And even then I was pretty terrible.)
I'm a bit older now, kinda, and I always wanted to visit a game played when I was a kid.

I watched a couple of videos on it online and found that micro is a big part of the game. But, how big? That's what I'd like to know.
