Might be a good idea to keep track of known differences between both versions, so we can optimise our runs better. If you know of any differences, just post 'em and I'll stick them into this post via edits.
-- In AoE, collecting shore fish is 2 seconds faster than in RoR for every 10 food. -- In RoR, Persians are 30% more effective at using farms. -- in AoE, Phoenicians are 15% more effective at woodcutting -- in RoR, Yamato have 20% faster Horse Archers, Scouts, Heavy Cavalry and Cataphracts. -- On maps like Oppression, villagers move considerably faster in AoE compared to RoR.
In AoE, villagers gather shore fish much faster than in RoR (2 seconds faster in AoE than RoR for every 10 food!)
Also, obvious differences like unit queuing and double-clicking a unit type to select all of that type of unit in the area.
On maps like Oppression, villagers move considerably faster in AoE compared to RoR. Yamato villagers must've been changed somehow.
