I decided to try AoEO again since it has been patched quite a bit. You still have to pay for the premium civilization upgrade if you want to equip the best gear, use advisors, etc. The free game though is still pretty entertaining and you can get quite far without having to pay a cent.

The learning curve for someone coming into the game from AoE3 is very small, I am level 11 or 12 now as the Egyptians and I am having little difficulty with the quests using only a few pieces of equipment (Egyptians have the strongest economy and thus make an excellent rush/spam civ). All in the all the improvements are good, if anybody else is playing let me know and I will add you as a friend.
