Oh man I bet you can get doom running in the scenario editor. The new devs may even be willing to enhance it somehow so that you could.
Although I have not really played or watched competitive since The Viper left for Facebook.
I did come across the competitive scene there about 2 years ago. Honestly I found it both fascinating and a bit disheartening. There was I happy with my occasional dad game where I was regularly beating the AI on one of the higher levels. Nope. Apparently still a noob after 25 years.
The speed and accuracy that they move and build at is astounding.
I recently tried Aoe II definitive edition. they managed to massacre the UI so much it hurts my eyes... that alone made me issue a refund
also £15 for a 25 year old game. you'd expect it to be better in every aspect at the very least

Old days!? Aoe2 is still getting expansions!

It is shocking the longevity this game has. Still has a thriving competitive scene. Still getting expansions and patches. It's a fantastic game.

I was about to say, "what do you mean 'old days', I'm still playing!"
This game will outlive DOOM being run on things.
Or more likely, someone will figure out a way to play one in the other.

Pretty sure he's back on twitch, but I only watch a few of his highlights on YouTube

He is, I just haven't gotten back in to it for no reason.

It is?! Must look into that. Still my favourite game of all time.

Not only that, it's still active, including a competetive scene with regular livestreams and tournaments.

The new AI is astounding. I haven't played in a while but I never was able to beat the harder difficulties. Even at my sweatiest

I guess this is not because of how good the "AI" is, but because it automatically gets note resources than any human player.

The rewritten ai doesn't cheat like the original! It's just amazing!

I'm simping for them but they are hamstrung a bit by the ancient code. They haven't rewritten it.
Fair criticism though, maybe they should have rebuilt the engine by now.

You could try AoE4 instead. Basically a reboot of AoE2 in a modern engine.
