Playing old games

artabriaYou know what game I picked up again thanks to Fire Emblem? Age of Empires II.
Last time I played it, I was 12 years old. Guess what I was playing yesterday? I finally bought a legal copy of the game, because the pirated copy that I got when I was a kid doesn't work in Windows 10 (the AI let's you win in 5 minutes or less).
It was as much fun as I remembered, even if I'm still just playing against the AI on easy because it has been 15 YEARS since I last played. I used to play online as a kid, but now the idea of joining the online makes me anxious. I know I'm going to lose rather quickly, because my strategies are basically the strategies of a 12 years old, XD
The maps I played yesterday were 1v1 maps and damn, my civilization barely expands before finding the enemy. I remember that I liked t play 1v1 games against the AI but with the biggest maps, and I loved to design this ridiculous big civilizations with double and triple walls (destroy those walls AI!)
But I kind of want to go back to the online. I wonder if clans are still a thing? Back then my English wasn't that great, so I was in the Spanish-speaker zone and I remember that my cousin convinced me to join a clan called Arul. There was also a clan named Caballeros de Rohan (Knights of Rohan) and I think that the one formed only by women was called Princesas (Princesses)?
