A bit like I know the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy were technically better films, but I'll always love the original Star Wars trilogy the most.
Also, BFMEII, Age of Mythology and WCIII had too much emphasis on hero units. When Gandalf can single-handedly wipe out an entire army, that's a bit crazy. AoE2 was more of a real strategy game. Plus you could chop trees...love chopping trees. And it was educational (kind of).
Shout out for Dune II also, which made all the others possible, and totally rocked as well.
AoM really didnt have hero units per say. The Greek Heros didnt do anything special against regular troops, they were your counter vs myth units.
