I think the gameplay of 2 was more "complete" and streamlined. I briefly played 1 but the spent thousands of hours in aoe2 and literally forgot what aoe1 was even like. When I went briefly tried 1 again it felt clunky. That said nothing wrong with enjoying aoe1.
Yeah, I think basic stuff like production queues were missing. AoE 2 had the right balance between automation and skill. Nobody enjoys learning the skill to click the barracks at precise intervals to produce another guy.
