Anybody play it? Online especially?

If you don't know what it is….

Age of Empires is a series of video games developed by Ensemble Studios and published by Microsoft Games. Seven games have been released from the series, as well as three spin-offs.

The majority of games in the series focus on historical events. Age of Empires and The Rise of Rome, the first two games, focused on Europe and Asia Minor, with the expansion following the formation and glory of the Roman empire. The Age of Kings and The Conquerers centered around Europe in the Middle Ages, and the discoveries of South America and the New World. Age of Empires III and its first expansion, The WarChiefs, discussed the European colonization of the Americas, while the second expansion, The Asian Dynasties, also developed by Big Huge Games followed the rise of Asia.


You basically build an empire and then fight with your armies :)

So anybody play it?

I used to =/ I don't like them much anymore. Do you play Starcraft, or any of Blizzards, or maybe 'Westwoods'?

Nope :( I've never really tried many online games, just rs and AoE. Are those all free? I might check them out.

Which version do you play? I, II or III?

coo too

2008-01-26 04:20:17

Its on okay game but the graphics are the worst ever I completed the game like 300 times. Once upon a time the graphics where good but that's cause you'd never seen anything any better.

That's the game i love. It is 1 of my favourite. :)
I used to play it a lot..but now i'm older.. and don't have so much time. :):D
Well in my eyes this game is like!!WooooW!. I began with AOE1 Gold. I got it from my friend. I played it like alot. :) , and when i got AOE2 then i was in the heaven. :) and my brother got comp. too, so we played in LAN ;) Multi.
And when i finally got AOE3, i was totally out of my mind. :)
Love the game. ;)

I used to play I a lot! Man, Before I got into RS, I played it hours every day! :D
Always fun to make my own levels, and the expansion Rise of Rome is pretty nice too :)

The pirated versions are, if you can find an idiot on eBay that posts snapshots of cd keys. Otherwise, nope. You can probably get starcraft for like…5 dollars now.

Played it a lot when I had P1 with 166Mhz processor, 32mb RAM, and 2MB of integred graphics:D

Now, there is much better games…heh:D
Too bad I can't play it on net, because my ports are closed

That musta been like AoE I Beta or something :eek:

My 1GB RAM 3.0GHZ proccessor (idk what the graphics is…) can barely run AoE III with all the graphics set to the minimum.



Btw tbh I never opened any ports :\

Huh? Didn't get the first part of what you said :p

Ever try AoE III?

This is how I rank them from worst to best…

1. AoE I
2. AoE I Gold
3. AoE II
4. AoE II Expansion (I forget what that was called…)
5. AoE III (never played the expansions)


I know, I am SO imaginative :)

Wow this brought back memories, I used to play number 2 all the time. When you posted this I downloaded number 3 :), when I get into it I might play you.

Age of empires 2 : age of conqueroers or something like that, wdf?!?

And when I was playing on small map, it didn't lagged much


Edit:
(idk what the graphics is…)

-Thats your problem…Start -> Run -> DxDiag -> No -> [Tab] Display, and there you go

There's new ones. You can't use them online unless the game that you're playing is enabled (which in that case the game would be unrated and you wouldn't get any exp). I've never used the ones in AoE III :p

Runescapian321

2008-02-08 17:12:52

Pfffft.

Theres probably like 100 people on these forums that have it, but nobody likes it anymore :p And really it's LOADS better than rs. Especially nowadays - AoE is getting better, RS is getting much worse.

I used to play Age of Empires 2, but after awhile they made it so you have to pay to play online for AoE2. I haven't bought number AoE3, the last game I got that was strategy was Age of Mythology wasn't all that hot.

They did :eek: I never played online for II :p

On the AoE forums they say AoM is pretty good :\ I've never tried it though.

I think the Total War Series makes AOE's look like a joke. Used to play it all the time before TW: Rome come out and that was great, then TW: Medieval 2 came out and is amazing.

2008-04-08 09:04:19

AoEII FTW! I loved the chinese special archers xD

I'm quite a cavalry whore on AoEIII… the french curaisseurs. Love them. Nothing like steam rolling into infantry or charging a cannon battery.

2008-04-08 10:07:27

AOE is a really fun game, but I couldn't get very far in it without cheating a little to get all the main stuff needed to play. (I only have the first one released)

Daniel

2009-11-08 01:25:14

2009-11-08 10:57:15

I used to, it's probably one of my favorite games, back when I used to play it though I couldn't get online with it, if I had it now I probably would play online. I loved the first one so much, I got the third one like 2 years ago I think, it was alright, but I liked the first one better, since the first was like more pre-historic, the third was like Britain making colonies in America sorta time lol.
