Warcraft - the fantasy RTS series

vs.

Age of Empires - the Historic RTS series

good point... but

Warcraft has four different races each with unique units and structures... while age of empires has different races but everyone has the same thing.

Plus warcraft has WOrld of warcraft and age of empires doesnt have anything like that

As single player games i've thoroughly enjoyed both and it's a tough call, provided of course you exclude Age of Empires 3.

Only in certain missions would the death of the hero mean defeat. which are ones with no structures. Plus the heroes could learn 4 skills depending on their hero class. while in age of empires the heroes only had a specific skill
