Nostalgia kick from one of the first games I owned years ago. AI seems to have been improved, graphics aren't amazingly better but still nice. Love this game and the mods that can be put in. Pick it up and enjoy hours of running around classic maps and new scenarios from the workshop.

Wololo! A well aged, award winning classic RTS game from 1999 in a medieval setting featuring more than a dozen civilisations to play with. The HD version (2013) comes with expansions and the support for HD displays.

Subject to extreme subjectivity

Good (65.77 GP)

A great game I enjoy every now and then. Mainly playing it for skirmishes and I love using the editor to build own maps. The modding community is strong and the game has plenty of content as is. Personally, I can't play it forever but it's a great gem. The pricetag is a little to high for my taste and for a game that is a bit aged by now, HD or no HD. It is a definite "have-to-have" when on sale. The money is not wasted should you consider buying it without a sale though. I like going back down memory lane with this little classic gem.

If you have ever played AOE II or AOC, you will love this game. Made a lot of memories playing back in the day on the MSN gaming zone, game ranger, voobly, etc. There are new civs to you can play with and many new units. I have a few hours so far, 100+ lol, and I'm hooked. Can't wait to see what else these guys come up with.

Highly recommended!

I'm Rick Harrison, and this is my pawn shop. I work here with my old man and my son, Big Hoss. Everything in here has a story and a price. One thing I've learned after 21 years - you never know what is gonna come through that door.

One of my favorite memories is playing this game back in the day with my Brother and some of my cousins.
This game helped me develop my ability to strategize and think quickly as a kid.

I gotta say I hoped the game would have been fixed up a little more when I saw it on Steam and got ahold of a copy in a gift trade but I know they have AOEIII and things and I do love how it just takes me back to being a kid who played when it came out. I actually have my old box copy with manual and the expansion disc too.

This is a great game to LAN with friends or just play solo while bored and needing to kill time.

It may not be enjoyed as much by millennials or people who want all the new graphics and such but any 80's or 90's kids that grew up on it or parents and others who played will definitely have a blast from the past.

Play it with my wife on multiplayer! Against 3-4 normal enemies. We build 1 big base with common walls and defences. 1000 units against thousands of enemy units Absolutely fun! We can play one game for 4-5 hours straight.

I like to give this game a nickname which I like to called "Mini Civilization"

I'm gonna be honest most of the time when I'm ingame it doesn't actually mean I'm playing, sometimes I play but most of the time I doing a bot only game or in other words a bot tournement, partically ResonanceBot 5-1c. Why you may ask cause I have a fascination for the AI :D.

So for every bot tournement I always have the same settings no matter what
- 8 bots
- Black Forest
- Hardest difficulty
- All Visible
- Standard Resources
- Random Civs

In my current bot tournement the civilizations they're playing as
- ResonanceBot 5-1c Blue, Aztecs
- ResonanceBot 5-1c Red, Mongols
- ResonanceBot 5-1c Green, Goths
- ResonanceBot 5-1c Yellow, Britons
- ResonanceBot 5-1c Light Blue, Saracens
- ResonanceBot 5-1c Purple, Vikings ( Eliminated )
- ResonanceBot 5-1c Gray, Slavs
- ResonanceBot 5-1c Oranges, Koreans

So far playtime of the tournement 4h & 12 minutes

It very addicted game indeed, honestly I believe it the best RTS game ever created follow by Mythology of course. In Aoe 2 the farms are quite annoying, how you had to constanty replenish the farms. The Perisans and Teutopns are my favourites to play as nothing more fun then building mass war elephants ( Strongest Cavalry or Teutonic Knights ( Strongest Infantry ) and roaming over your enemies. Don't care for online matches unless I playing with a friend or steam friend but other then that I pass.

Overall if you love RTS games I highly recommend you give this game a try, if you love Age of Empires 2 I also highly recommend you try out Age of Mythology same thing but with mythological units and god powers.
