Awesome game, I loved it. If you like strategy games, play it, you won't be disappointed.

Make sure you have the Add-on AOE2 Conqurers, it makes it MUCH better

AOE 2 is a great strategy game if that's what you like. I really enjoyed going through the campaigns. The expansion pack was cool as well and added some interesting features. Anyone hear if they are going to release a AOE3?

I personally can't wait for the new Star Wars strategy game that uses the AOE2 engine.

Not sure about that but this spring they will have a new one called Age of Mythology that add's some fantasy creatures and stuff :)

I personally can't wait for the new Star Wars strategy game that uses the AOE2 engine.

Is there a date on that one? I'd love to see it too :)

If you've got no life, then yes, it's a great game. It's addictive; I had to go to some 12-step meetings just to quit.

Did they make you destroy the games as one of those steps? I don't know if I could do that.
