This is not a fork. This is a repository of scripts to automatically build Microsoft’s vscode repository into freely-licensed binaries with a community-driven default configuration.

It’s a bit slower paced than AoE2, every civilization is very unique, there is a specific resource called Favour. There are mythical creatures and heroes.
I guess it’s a bit more complex but most of us played the campaign as kids and if you’re used to AoE, you’ll be at home and might find it a bit refreshing.
And the original voicing made the whole game: Voulome !
