* ScrappyMechanic: The pathfinding is utterly atrocious. Your units will happily march the opposite way you ordered them to, often right into an enemy tower or catapult. Large units like elephants or catapults will get caught up on each other constantly, sometimes causing a full-on pileup that makes you stop and sort it out. Units will clip into inaccessible terrain and get stuck. Units ordered to attack will walk right past their target, then turn around and chase after it. This would be forgivable in a game released in 1997, but the ''Definitive Edition'' still has these problems.

** The strict conservatism of the ''Definitive Edition''. The game and visuals were redone from scratch, but other than correcting bugs, making farms walkable and renaming scenarios and heroes, there were no real changes made. Not even incorporating completely simple and sensible things that were done in ''[=AoE=] II'' ages ago (and were [[WhatCouldHaveBeen intended]] for [=AoE=] in some cases), like [[HollywoodTactics formations]], queueing, non-convertible and regenerating heroes, [[MisplacedWildlife non-Middle Eastern animals]] and [[MisplacedVegetation trees]], domestic animals, or even [[OneGenderRace women]], just to "keep ''[=AoE=]'' and ''[=AoE=] II'' separate games". End result? Critics said the DE was a good game, if it had come out 20 years ago.

** ''Rise of Rome'' added a Roman civilization, obviously... and three other civilizations (Macedonian, Carthaginian, Palmyran) that were already covered in the game (as Greeks, Phoenicians, and, arguably, the Romans themselves). Then the new Roman campaigns had scenarios set in Europe with awkward Middle Eastern civilizations filling in for Britons and Gauls.
** In contrast to most campaigns, which have six scenarios, Ave Caesar only has four. And none of them depict Alexandria, Utica, or Munda.

** Both Steam users and Age of Empires 1 fans are not happy that the Definitive Edition is currently exclusive to Microsoft Store as it is woefully inferior to Steam in its user-friendliness: Trying to find the Definitive Edition, let alone any game that you want, is like ''trying to find a needle in a haystack''. And the people who did manage to purchase Definitive Edition had to use the Google search engine just to find it quickly and conveniently.
