Age Of Empires II

Yeah folks,

AOE rules!!! Micro$oft really got it right with it, But thereīs one thing with the game that picks me, thereīs always one unit thatīs far stronger than all of the others and all you have to do is to create a bunch of them and then go and win the scenario.
That kinda annoys me but it canīt keep me away from this classic blockbuster game.

But the thing I hate the most about it itīs that my girlfriend loves it so much and it keeps me apart from her!!! LOL!!!!

Cheers!

One of the reasons that AOE3 is slightly better is that it has a unit cap on any spectaculaly good units (like the frigates, or mortar ships) which half prevents the technique of upgrade, build lots of the best unit and wipe out the enemy, while they do the same, but doesn't get rid if it completely, so meaning you have to build lots of different units and then attempt to arrange them so they don't get wiped out.

However, this can sometimes get annoying, since once you build your ships, they sail out, blow both sides to pieces, and then you spend the next five minutes rebuilding them....because both sides can build just as fast, there is this continuous cycle won by whoever can click faster...not really the point of a good rts game.

However, AOE2 and AOE 3 are still both awesome games, whic really do deserve alot of credit!

age of empires is a great game from the first version to the last(i would include here age of mythology even thou it is different from age of empires series).With each new version Microsoft set new standards in RTS games from every aspect you look at it

In my childhood I was really addicted to AOE1. I would always feel that there should be some way by which you could get resources after you have exhausted yours.
And then came AOE2 in which you could trade resources!!! I'm still addicted to AOE2.
But AOE3 does not run on the NVIDIA 7300 series!!!!! sad.gif sad.gif sad.gif

when i was younger I used to play that game all the time, the campaigns never really interested me much but me and some friends usually would LAN together and play it. Im thinking of buying AOE3 but that matters if I have enough money left over when Im done saving up for a new computer

Age of Empires II is, in fact, a great game. It's actually my favorite game of all times.

I am lucky enough to have both the Age of Kings and The Conquerors Expansion.

I like how this game is so well programmed and the possibilities that one has with it.

Age II in vista
Age Of Empires II

Replying to iGuest

I don't know about SP2 compatibility but I'm currently playing age II conquerors in a LAN with 2 vista (SP1) laptops and an xp desktop :D

I you must forward ports 2300-2400 and 47624 to all machines to open up multiplayer

So wat ya say?? Aint it the best RTS of all time??


We have the Age of Empires I CD, aswell as Age of Empires II CD. They are pretty fun to play. I like just messing around with it and building my little Completely Symetrical Villages (I have a Perfective Compulsion to make it perfect. If its not Ill bomb it and try again xd.gif) The second is much better than the first. The graphics are way better, theres more options and features and better game playing options.

    I have been playing Age of Empires III for some time now and after talking to some experts have
    found a very good strategy to use to win multiplayer games (or games agains a computer). This
    strategy is called the FF (Fast Fortress), basically you try and reach the fortress age (3rd age) as
    quick as possible to have better units to overpower the enemy. This works best with the Spanish and
    German civilizations. Heres my Spanish FF: As the game starts put most of you villies on food
