The computer was probably cheating too. Creating AI that understands the strategy of resource management is hard so most devs just give the computer a steady stream of resources and faster build times. That way the computer doesn’t need to worry about planning, they can just spam build.
It’s a lot less noticable these days I will say. And I even see my hard boys acting differently than my friends hard boys. Meaning they adapt somewhat to my testudo ways

Apparently the AI in AoE2: DE does not cheat. They did in the original though.
