Synopsis

Age of Empires II: Gold Edition unites the exciting gameplay of The Age of Kings and The Conquerors Expansion into one package, and even features additional content like bonus maps to make this a suite fit for a king. Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings spans a thousand years, from the fall of Rome through the Middle Ages in which you will lead one of 13 civilizations into greatness, including the Franks, Japanese, Byzantines, Vikings, Mongols and Celts. In addition to all the features found in the original title, in Age of Empires II you can use garrisoning and military formations that add interesting tactical choices. Improve the economy of your civilization through trade and diplomacy options.

Focusing on legendary leaders, Age of Empires II: The Conquerors Expansion challenges veterans and novices to wage war on an epic scale with all-new civilizations, unique units and technologies, and campaigns based on infamous conquerors such as Attila the Hun, El Cid and Montezuma. In addition to the 13 civilizations in Age of Empires II, this expansion title adds five more civilizations to choose and command, including the Hun, Aztec, Mayan, Korean and Spanish. Utilize additional technologies such as caravans, herbal medicine, the thumb ring, heresy, bloodlines and theocracy. Dominate enemy civilizations, accumulate wealth, build and defend wonders of the world — whatever you need to do to achieve world domination and ultimate victory.
