Touhou Boushuen (Age of Ethanols)

[Aqua Soo]

Anyone one a fan of RTS games?  You should try out Touhou Boushuen or "Age of Ethanols."  As the name suggests, it's an RTS with many similarities to Age of Empires.

Check out the old threads I didn't want to necro here:

You might be thinking that this is an old/inactive/dead fangame, but Neetpia has been diligently releasing balancing and netplay patches.  The most recent patch was just in January.  I would say most factions are pretty darn well-balanced now.  As such, I really hope to rekindle interest in this game...

The AI for this game really sucks; harder difficulty AI's just cheat, and even those have weaknesses you can easily exploit.  This may have been why a lot of people ditched this game, but human vs human can get pretty intense.

If any of you are interested, there's a small but quite active irc channel for this game:  #boushuen at irc.rizon.net
They just started a youtube channel too: http://www.youtube.com/user/Boushuen

Does it require AOE? I did a few checks in an out, but haven't really tried it yet, but it does look interesting. Been meaning to find a new Touhou doujin game (my supply is running out)

No, it's stand-alone.

No, it's stand-alone.

In that case... putting it on my list. Thanks for the quick response
