The computer was probably cheating too. Creating AI that understands the strategy of resource management is hard so most devs just give the computer a steady stream of resources and faster build times. That way the computer doesn't need to worry about planning, they can just spam build.
It's a lot less noticable these days I will say. And I even see my hard boys acting differently than my friends hard boys. Meaning they adapt somewhat to my testudo ways
"my hard boys"
Apparently the AI in AoE2: DE does not cheat. They did in the original though.
One of my favorite things to do in Crusader Kings II is to play as God. First select a character, use console commands to make them an immortal demi god. Step 2 type in observe into the console so you can just watch how it plays out. Then come back a few hours later to see what your champion has accomplished.

You can literally summon futuristic soldiers with laser guns in AoE4. One shots pretty much everything AND can take down a whole TC solo.
You could actually get laser boys, nuke gunners, and machine gun cars in the first title too!
Wait, what? I'm a wololo guy who got set with the second game years ago so I didn't know the first one has that.
yeah, in aoe1 there's a laser gun guy ("photon man"), a car that shoots rockets, archers that look like trees when standing still and can walk on water, and a catapult that fires cows
mind: blown
I need to look into that. Is that in original and how it translates to remasters?
did they ever remaster the first game? don't think it's in the sequels anyway
DE did cover it too.
On August 19, 2019, Age of Empires: Definitive Edition re-released with a new client on both the Windows Store and Steam, with cross-play available between the two platforms. Existing Windows Store players need to manually download the new client in order to receive game updates and multiplayer compatibility. At the same time, Age of Empires: Definitive Edition has also become available through Xbox Game Pass for PC.
IIRC AoE2 had like three remasters: HD one, DE and something else. AoE had at least one of those.
I loved cheating in ApE, furious George and the sports car were great.

So, a few years back, I checked out this game made by a community of AoE2 fans.
I figured, I've played RTSs before, normal difficulty for the AI should be fine.
Man, never have I gotten my ass handed to me so quickly. The AI rushed me before I even had the thought of building defenses. It just slaughtered my whole village.
Anyways, I did enjoy the game after setting the AI to very easy and giving myself an AI ally. 🫠
