Hey folks,

I've been working on a large comparative analysis between my favorite RTS series, Age of Empires, and a game I've been playing a ton lately, StarCraft II. This is the first of (probably) two parts.

Production notes:
-- ELO ratings cited for launch of Age of Empires 3 based on community ladder which used the same ELO formula as Age of Empires 2 and sourced win / loss data from an Ensemble-provided API.
