Empires Apart is similar to AOM to some extent, including game play and war setting, but has limited functions and worse graphics.

i give it an upvote to support the genre, but don't bother. Just play AoE4 instead.

It has/had a lot of potential, though I do think there needs to be some campaign content and a handful more daily quests (or a weekly/monthly set too). Already died a slow death by now but there's always a handful of people playing on and off.
Pros:
- Freemium (also a con, but I'll mention positives) - you can eventually earn all the 7 civilizations playing solo/coop skirmish or online pvp via lootboxes you can farm daily and per account level (infinite, but increasingly slow), can outright buy the factions and skip the random lootboxes (or buy the lootboxes). Comes with all game content aside from faction choices as part of the package, as well as the Byzantine/Greek civ iirc.
- AoE2like but with it's own technology pathway - "Age ups" instead split into a tier 1/2 eco line and a tier 1/2 military line. Basically has the market trade system AoEIV has (and is older) funnily enough
- Great controls - on par with the AOE Definitive releases, AoEO and Starcraft 2 for default hotkeys, units generally path really well
- Audio - while limited, feels really polished and fitting. Game themes, sound effects, character VA
- Building AND unit names are in their native name (or closest translation) - usually limited to units in AoE games
Cons:
Freemium (see above for pros to this) - feel a bit nickle-and-dimed by the randomness to unlocking factions you can be pushed to pay for, can also buy the same lootboxes you're grinding for. Probably wouldn't be so bad if there was a little more quests to do and/or some randomness to them in order to unlock stuff.
No campaign and no map editor - I've put 3k hours into PvPing in an RTS too small to make a living from and I still think campaigns or an official scenario set along with a map editor or mod editor are a must have for 95% of casual players. Eventually skirmish gets old even with an extensive map pool and many mode settings.
Relatively small map pool and water units are underused due to only 1 water map with no fishing from what I can remember.
Overall I recommend, but only just. Mostly out of a desire to see the devs put a bit of effort into avoiding this being just like War party was, and like Stormgate eventually will be ;)
