 Best of the AoE series! March 5, 2010
G. Hallman (Huntsville ON)
Pros: Good, balanced gameplay, every weapon has a counter, every counter has a weapon. Strategy pays off, tactics too. Good, intuitive controls, a fairly steep learning curve but fun all the way. Totally addicted. Much better gameplay than AoE3. Great level editor and level scripting tools just rock!
Cons: Getting hard to find. Can't back up media, had to repurchase when CD went bad. A few more options would be nice - setting default unit stance at the barracks, and displaying/saving/re-entering the RNG seed to create the level would be a nice touch.

This game is amazing! I would say the best civilization is the byzanianites. Tip: before building an army, have lots of villagers working on ressources.
Automated farms are great July 9, 2004
Mauricio Malo (Denver, CO USA)
1. Farmers start a new farm once the old one is done, you can queue. any one who ever played AOE-I knows how great that is :).
2. The addition of Gates makes for nice Castle building
3. Villagers automatically start a new task when they finish a work type building (granary, storage, town center)
4. UNIT FORMATIONS!!! my personal favorite only second to the Farm queue. It adds a whole new dimension to battle tactics. huge improvement from AOE-I
5. Advanced unit commands. Follow, Protect, Patrol, they just make this game so much nicer.
6. the ability to toggle around to your inactive (we'll call it that) villagers. "where's my whip"All this improvements have the feel of AOE developers playing their own game and saying "gee wouldn't it be nice if we had this" they realy polished this game. It belongs in anyone's greatest games list. Easy!
Challenging till Boredom June 25, 2004
I used to love Age of Empires but it got prety boring by year two. The map editor is fun to use. But the internet multiplayer requires you to have the same version of Age of Empires, and the same system (Mac/Window) as the person you are playing with. The bottom line is buy this only if you have some buddies that have this too.
