A reminder of how far we've come

New players, hear me out. I come from a different time, a different Age, a dark and depressing Age where:

- Mills had no reseed queue, farms had to be manually rebuilt.

- Villagers did not go to work automatically after building a mill, mining camp or lumber camp.

- Tower and wall upgrades cost stone instead of wood.

- Town centers only cost wood and received range from blacksmith upgrades.

- Scorpions could be upgraded at the blacksmith.

- Hand Cannoneer had to be researched.

- Bombard cannons had to be researched, fired slow as cannon galleons and had no siege bonus.

- Bombard towers would two-shot Rams.

- Rams could not be garrisoned.

- Ships had no formations, Shipwright had no build time bonus.

- Heroes did not heal and could be converted.

- Militia-line, woad raiders, berserks and samurai had no pierce armor.

- Petards, Hussars, Halberdiers, Thumb Ring, Bloodlines, Parthian Tactics, Heresy and Theocracy did not exist.

- Civilizations had no unique Castle technologies.

- Stone walls had twice the hitpoints.
