* OnceOriginalNowCommon: Though the original game was a groundbreaking RTS in 1997, the release of the ''Definitive Edition'' in 2018 helped to expose just how much it had been surpassed by ''Age of Empires II'', to say nothing of the several other games that had since iterated and expanded upon or diverged from the formula in the two decades since the original came out. Tellingly, a Definitive Edition of ''[=AoEII=]'' released a year later would do much better both critically and commercially, remaining supported for several years beyond with several expansion packs, including "Return to Rome" [[EmbeddedPrecursor incorporating all the content]] from the first game's Definitive Edition.

* 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.
