Summary: 5 Stars
The Age of Empires, Age of Kings, Age of Mythology series is definitely the best ever sires of real time strategy games. In all versions of the game you are allowed to control both the armies and economies of your nation. You can build buildings, creature soldiers or peasants, even priests. Your peasants you command to do the different menial tasks such as farming, mining, and building castles. While your armies roam the land either defending your peasants, sieging enemy castles, or raiding their peasants. Priest have the power to convert both peasants and soldiers. If you like being king of the world, this is for you. Finally, I just want to differentiate between the games. Age of Empires is the oldest of the games and should run on any computer, but I wouldn't recommend the game without either the Rise of Rome Expansion Pack or just buying the Age of Empires Gold Edition. These two correct many problems with the original Age of Empires. Next game up the latter for medium computers is Age of Kings (that's what I'm still playing.) It can run on just about any computer with sixty four megs of ram and a two hundred megahertz processor. I use it on a five hundred megahertz and a one point four gigahertz. Next game up is the Age of Mythology. This introduces a whole new realm of playing to the sires. This one you civilization chooses different gods to worship and is given power from them. Unfortunately you only get two really spectacular god powers each game and you can only use them once, but then it keeps the game to more strategy and less luck and wildcards. (It is fun to get the wildcards when you have them though!) This game should have a processor of I would say at least a six hundred and a graphics card at least thirty two megabytes; and lastly this is not the game for everybody. I still use Age of Kings/Conquerors not because of my computer, but because I don't like all the crazy stuff in Mythology; I think it distracts from the medieval battle tactics. Really choosing between Mythology and Age of Kings is just a matter of personal opinion. I'd say download both demos and try them both; or if you have the money to blow, buy them both. Either way I think you'll love both of them. Well that's all for me. This is just a general over view don't take my words as gold check out the specs and requirements yourself. I just wanted to help point you in the right direction.Customer Review: Another Success

I played Age of Empires I for about 1 year and i decided why not get Age of Empires The Age of Kings and the Conqueres. I never played just Age Of Kings so i wasnt burt out of the game. First i beat all the historical campains. It tokk about 1 month. I started playing on the internet and that was fun for about 2 month. Then I discovered the map maker. I learned how to make triggers and i put abunch of maps in a campain. This took about 2 months. For about 1 year and 5 months i played the Age of Empire games. These are good in graphics and game play. I would recommend this to anyone.Customer Review: Better then Perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
I had played AOE 2:The Age of Kings, and thought it was perfect. although it lacked a few things, it was amazing. So, i had to buy this. I expected the same as what I got from AOE 2. I was wrong. It was a whole lot better than the last game. Whatever areas that were not good in AOE 2 were greatly enhanced.
1. No more holiday vacations: Villagers cannot be lazy after they build lets say... A Mining camp. In AOE2, once the villager builds the mining camp, they do nothing. Nowadays, they go straight to mining.
2. Newbies rock: The new civilliztions in this game are amazing. The Spanish aren't the coolest, but they were important in history and should of been in AOE2. The Koreans have really cool special troops. The Huns are great for anyone with an offensive stratagy. The Mayans and the Aztecs are dominat in the archer catagory. Overall, the new groups rock.
3. Reality: In AOE2, the campagins were fun, but i'd easily rather play a death match. Not in the expanison. The campaigns, for some reason, are alot better than the AOE2 campaingns. Once i start i can't stop.
So, overall, anyone who is into almost any type of game(with a few exceptions), this is the gasme for u.
Customer Review: Worth Your Money
Summary: 4 Stars
Conquerors is a great addition to te Age of Epires Series. It includes five new civilizations, and three new campaings, plus a lot of other new units and upgrades. I'm only sorry that they came out with one expansion. Campaings now include scout reports, that tell you the color, and general location of every other civilization on the map. The new civilizations are loads of fun, especaly the Spainish. Each civilzation now has its own unique technology. This game is totaly worht the money. Buy it.
