About : Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings
- Mods & Resources by the AoE2 Modding Community.
In addition to all the features found in the original Age of Empires, Age of Empires II enhances game play in the following areas:
New Combat Options
Players can use garrisoning and military formations that add interesting tactical choices. Units are also smarter, with new artificial intelligence (AI) options like Guard, Patrol and Follow as well as multiple aggression levels.
Alternative to Combat
Players can improve the economy of their civilization through trade and diplomacy options. In addition to gathering resources, they can trade at their own market or use trading routes with their allies. A market-based economy gives new options for players to buy, sell, and speculate on resources.
Diverse Cultures
Gamers command one of 13 mighty civilizations. These include the Franks, Japanese, Byzantines, Vikings, Mongols and Celts civilizations. Each civilization has unique attributes, buildings and technologies as well as a unique combat unit based on its historical counterpart.
Single Player Campaign
Age of Empires II has five story-based, single-player campaigns which focus on historical figures and their struggles to achieve greatness. Campaigns that revolve around William Wallace, Joan of Arc, Genghis Khan, Barbarossa, and Saladin will test all of your strategic skills as you strive onward to victory!
