Ohhh yes. I've ben playing a lot of Age of Empires IV and tried playing a round of classic A2 and literally had to minimize the game to let my resources build because it was so slow. I think I left it for 10 minutes and had only lost one ship haha.
FO is also super complicated, which is impressive for the small team involved, and everything they did with a simple engine... but also maybe too confusing when I play games like AoE where most of the complexity comes from strategy, and not the combinations of units and upgrades, etc. It would almost be an interesting concept to 1:1 port another game to A2, and just reskin it as desired. Though I'm sure that has been attempted.
