THE GOOD: Adds a huge amount of great stuff,farm queue is a very good idea, loads of balancing changes, interesting new civilizations and maps. nice new music
THE BAD: Huns are overpowered.
SUMMARY: The Conquerors is a very worthy expansion pack for Age of Kings, it adds five new civilizations, new unique techs for each civilization, a stack of new campaigns, and loads of enhancements and balancing changes.
Age of Empires his been generally regarded as one of the best Real Time Strategy series of all time. The original was ground breaking in its own right. Set in roman times it portrayed the battles between the emerging Roman Empire and the various barbarian tribes. It featured many real units, believable battles, actual historically accurate civilizations and decent graphics. Balance problems however made it a pain to play.
The meat of age games and what sets them apart from many RTS games of its time was the "age...
THE GOOD: Good Graphics Good Gameplay Good Storylines in the Single Player Mode Good Multiplayer Matches Good in every single way for a RTS Game Sound is good Did I say that the graphics are good? Well I did now.
THE BAD: Not much. Except that your villagers get killed by walking into your enemies base,but aside from that there is barely anyting hard.
SUMMARY: A game balanced on military and economy.Without one the other cannot survive.It will keep you entertained for hours,I know I was entertaind for a YEAR!
Also sound is good and it changes where you go into another section of the map.There is alsoa training option to learn how to play and you can change game speed and all.There are loads of ways to get food like hunting or fishing or foraging or farming.This is one of the best game ive ever played and I urge you to get it.
SUMMARY: Fans of Ensemble'sAge of Empires series won't be disappointed with the Conquerors Expansion Pack. It takes the same old enjoyable Age gameplay and adds new features, upgrades, units, and civilizations.
It's always fun to try out a different team, so what's not to like about five new teams? The Aztecs, Huns, Koreans, Mayans, and Spanish civilizations are quite fun to play as and a great addition to the series.
One of the new features, the replenishable farm system, is quite easy to use and gives you one less thing to worry about when you're trying to concentrate on the annihilation of enemies. If you go to your mill and click the "reseed" button, villagers will begin replanting their respective farms as soon as all of the resources are depleted in the one they're currently working...
Economic Strategy is just as important as Military, giving the player a very impressive game. Campaign:
8 "Main" Campaigns with one tutorial Campagin.
One last "Campaign" with 5 major battles/scenarios from the time period. Civilizations:
13 Original Civs, with 5 additions civs giving a very impressive library of 18, very fun civs.
THE BAD:
The AI is "Lacking"
The map editor lacks good features found in most newer games.
SUMMARY: This game should and will go down in the books and on the the top RTS games EVER. The game has great campaigns and a very large selection. (10 with the expansion.) One thing that makes this game great is the selection of game modes which include Deathmatch- Quick combat with vast starting resources and you get into the action fast, Random Match- A longer game, less starting resources and for a more skilled...
THE GOOD: New civilisations New unique technology for each civilisation New games modes in multiplayer
THE BAD: King of the Hill could have been better
SUMMARY: This game is the expansion to Age of Empires II and aims to provide more play in the game. New features for this game include more civilisations, more units and more technologies. There are also extra missions to do and more modes for multiplayer.
First off you have 4 new civilisations in this game, each with their own unique units like the existing civilisations. One of the new features in this game this game is that every civilisation now has a unique technology to research as well as having a unique unit. Quite often this actually enhances the unique unit. For example, the Franks Throwing Axeman is their unique unit, and the unique technology gives them one more range. Others have no impact on unique units like the Japanese. They have the Samurai but their technology...
THE GOOD: History is totally accurate Ability to lock gates Game will always be fun
THE BAD: ...
SUMMARY: I have just recently gotten a game called Samurai Warriors for PS2 which has many famous samurai in it. After I loaded up AOE2 and little to my suprise... the same historic characters were in the game! Just then had I noticed that this game was totally 99.99% accurate on how we think the past was! Most of the types of warriors from the Medieval Age were also in the game and everything. That alone suprised me. But this game is great, unlike many Blizzard games where every unit is worth more than 1 food, you can get up to 200 people on the dot. There are many different formations you can choose from and all the civilizations have buildings that were how they looked back then. As far as I can tell this game is one of the best strategy games I have ever played.
If you read this.. thanks for reading this boring review.
THE GOOD: There's lots of different races to play as, from all over the world, and they all have their own units, as well as units shared by everyone. The buildings, though the same for everyone, look slightly different depending on the area that nation is from. The strategy involved varies from person to person, place to place, races to races, and difficulty levels to difficulty levels. The way you play is totally up to you, this game allows for all sorts of fun extra things too, aside from the premade scenarios you can play, there's also regular play mode, where you choose the people you are, the people you fight, and the place you fight, along with other details, as well as an edit mode, where you can make your own scenario, as specific, or complex as you want!
THE BAD: The only thing wrong is there simply WASN'T ENOUGH!!! I can never get enough of these games, and they never allow you enough places and people to fight. Along with a lack of specific...
THE GOOD: *Insanely addictive* *Excellent Scenery props for the Graphics* *Choose from diffrent civilizations* *Play Online!*
THE BAD: You may lose countless hours of sleep, not do your homework, and skip meals!
SUMMARY: The game is a little complicated at the beggining, but you become very familiar with everything quickly. From there its all you. You can choose to become prosperous and build walls and towers around your city or you can choose to build gigantic army's and demolish your enemy's. AOE lets you play the way YOU want to play. So if you dont want to go along with their story's you can actually make your own levels. Buying this game would defenitely be worth it. If you're into modern warfare, this game really isnt for you since theres hardly any guns in this game! This game is pretty much for the people who love extinct civilizations and all out war. You gotta love the control you get in this game, your men will...
General/Summary: Where did these crazy Spanish conquistadors come from? There I was, just about to wrap up the game with my mighty Byzantine army when suddenly these Spanish cavalry reared up from nowhere. They were fast, mowing down some of my army before I had to chance to react. They were strong, taking several blows from my mighty cataphracts before falling. And the worst part of it was... they had guns! Still thrashed them. As you can see, several of the new civilisations in The Conquerors, the expansion pack to the mightily successful (and mightily mighty) Age of Empires 2, are quite powerful. The Spanish in particular, with their mounted hand cannoneers (in effect) and mounted monks (Missionaries, for the historically inquisitive), seem to dominate the new civs. Of course, none of the 5 could beat the Byzantines for me (the Byzantines' technology is godlike), but it was a close run thing, though the Koreans are no pushover either. However, this is no bad thing. All...
THE GOOD: - Awesome graphics - Cool scenarios - Playable Online and offline - Lots of maps
THE BAD: - Scenario Editor has gliches in it
SUMMARY: This game is great! I have been playing it over 4 years now! Its awesome! The best game on PC! Over a million people play it around the world online and offline! Lots of challenges to beat. And you can make your own scenario. My favorite kind of scenario's are: Chaos Blood, Castle Blood, Art of Defense, and Archers Hellfire!
