AOE is a HRTS game (historic real time strategy) where you command your
troops, build your economy and complete your objectives like a
traditional HRTS game. The graphics are just superb with trees, units,
buildings, etc. But one problem is that the units and buildings will
look like clones of each other. The campaign is pretty long, it will
take you a long time depending what difficulty and how strategic you
are. The sound is good too with the sound of swords clashing, rocks
smashing, and arrows firing. When you click on a unit it will say
something in the language of their faction or if you click on a
building it will make some drum noise.
The multi player is fun supporting 2-8 and competitive trying to
destroy everyone or build a wonder. There are a variety of game types
like king of the hill, wonder race, genocide, etc. You can also play
with AI opponents which are very smart and which is why the game is
hard.
I really recommend people to play this RTS because it's just fun.
