Video Game Reviews of Age of Empires 2 Official Expansion: The Conquerors

Customer Review: awesome
Summary: 5 Stars

This game is pretty cool. The graphics and sound quality aren't anything special and when infantry are killed they act somewhat overdramatic (they jump backwards and shout something like YOOOW!!!) but it's fun. The new units and nations are awesome.

Description of Age of Empires 2 Official Expansion: The Conquerors

Age Of Empires II: The Conquerors takes you int the heart of warfare as you fight to buils a new civilization! Several new interfaces and features let you concentrate on tactics and resource management New multiplayer games like Wonder Race(see who builds a Wonder first) and Defend The Wonder Relive the time of the conquerors with this exciting strategy game!
Five new civilizations, new wonders, new unique units, new multiplayer options, and gameplay tweaks make The Conquerors more than your typical expansion pack. It's almost a full sequel. If you liked Age of Empires 2, you'll love The Conquerors.

Players can defend Spain as El Cid, rage across Europe as Attila the Hun, or fight to preserve an ancient way of life as Montezuma in new campaigns that extend the single-player experience. Plenty of toys are available to each civilization, including new technologies such as Chinese rocketry and British yeomen. But none of the new technologies or units unbalance the game. In fact, many of the units from AoE2 have been altered in response to gamer feedback so no one unit or civilization has an overwhelming advantage.

Those who hated micromanaging their towns in Age of Empires 2 will appreciate the adjustments made to villager artificial intelligence. You can order several villagers to work a group of farm plots, and they'll automatically divvy up the labor. You no longer have to manually assign one peon to each individual plot. The same applies to mines: tell a villager to build a mine, and he'll automatically start hauling ore once construction is complete.

If you weren't all that impressed with AoE2, this expansion pack won't change your mind. But if you're one of the millions who enjoyed the original game, you'll find that all the new goodies in The Conquerors will breathe more hours of fun into an old favorite. --Paul Sanguinetti

Pros:

  • Adds plenty of new units, technology, and wonders
  • Tweaks core AoE2 gameplay
  • Features maps of France, Britain, Spain, and... Texas
  • New King of the Hill and peaceful Wonder multiplayer games
  • Jungle and snow terrain add variety
Cons:
  • Armies of civilizations still very similar

Supplementing the 13 civilizations available in Age of Empires II, this add-on pack focuses on the armies and military thinking of a handful of history's greatest tacticians, including Attila the Hun, El Cid, and Montezuma. The new civilizations each have unique attributes, buildings, and technologies, such as Chinese Rocketry and Persian Mahouts. You'll put hussar cavalry, kamikaze siege units, and halberdier infantry into battle in four all-new campaigns. Play up to eight other conquerors via modem, Internet, or LAN.
