Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings

Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings is a real-time strategy game developed by Ensemble Studios and released in 1999. Set in the Middle Ages, it allows players to choose from various civilizations, each with unique units, technologies, and strengths, such as the Franks, Mongols, and Byzantines. Gameplay involves gathering resources, building towns, creating military units, and engaging in combat against opponents while advancing through different ages to unlock new technologies and units. The game features both single-player campaigns, which follow historical figures and events, and multiplayer modes for competitive play.

9/10 from me.

I've been playing this game since age 9, and it still finds ways to surprise and challenge me.

"Rome has fallen, and land is up for grabs." Beginning with a ramshackle town center and a few peasants, you rebuild a civilization in the medieval world. From collecting resources to annihilating enemy armies, you'll always have something to do.

Each civilization has their own unique unit and abilities. For example, the Mongolians have great cavalry archers and horsemen, but are not so hot on collecting food. In comparison, the Goths collect hunted meat very quickly, but their cavalry is not much.

No matter what your playing style, you'll have a civilization to play as. I heartily recommend this modern classic game to any player.

It's a LOT like the first game, which was great. But I would have preferred if we had been given more technologies to research. All the discovery seems to be over a bit too quick before each game boils down to the standard 'smash the enemy to pieces' part. In this respect it game become quite repetitive, especially when you consider how long it takes to get a good game going. The only alternative is to try out different civilisations. And only then it's just the architecture that's different.

I do like this game a lot but I just wish for a bit more diversity and more surprises in the next one (as in Age of Empires 3, not Age of Mythology). I've not played the expansion pack extensively yet but if it gives you more to work with and is definitely worth getting too.

1st when I saw my friend playing this game I thought was does he find interesting in this game. I thought it was boring and dull. Then a year later when I got my 1st PC my friend let my younger brother borrow it. And I seen my younger brother play this game. Then i got hooked on this game and this game is heavy proper fun to play I'll give it 10/10.

this game is definitely worth getting but not any more because part 3 is out.

This is sort of one of those god games. Your civilisation goes to war with another civilisation. Plus you have civilians making weapons. defense barriers, researching how to make new weapons, advancing to the future and for those things you need to collect a lot of gold, stone, wood. This is one of the best strategy games ever made

Age of Empires II it's a construct empire game,about combat and conquest,you will beginning in a loyal position in the height mild age" These are the principal guidelines of the game. Age of Empires II,will get you to the past,to explore,combat,conquest and constructive as the human do in the past. You can play as William Wallace,Juana De Arco,Gengis Khan,and lots more,these give to the game more positive points,thinking about the hight possibilities to win,or loose. This PC Game is one of the best ever made,if you have an opportunity to play it,play it,it's an fabulous form to entertainment. And to know more about the history,about things ho happened in the past,and lots more. Maybe the possibility to the codes decreases the game difficulty,but at the same time,it increase the REPLAY VALUE of the game.
