Age of Empires is a real time strategy game that has
been voted best strategy game for 2 years running now.
Basically you start off with a few men ( Villagers ).
These guys are responsible for gathering the needed
resourses (Wood, Food, Gold and Stone )that will allow
you to build building's and more men, some of them ,
the much needed men that will attack your opponents
army.
Sending most of your villagers out to explore the
land, bringing in the different needed resourses to
their nearest building that accepts what they are
gathering. You'll need one or two of them to stay
behind to build the needed buildings to advance
through the ages as time progresses.
Starting the game in Stone Age where the men are
basic and weak to attacks. After gathering a small
amount of food and wood and making a few more
villagers to help speed up the process, you'll need
to build two Stone Age buildings before you will be
allowed the upgrade into Tool Age.
The men and buildings you will be allowed to make in
this age, will produce stronger and more advanced men.
Then after building two Tool Age buildings and
making even more Villagers you will soon find yourself
ready to upgrade into the Bronze Age. If attacks
have not started to happen by now, then they will be
coming very shortly. As upon reaching Bronze Age the
men in this age are quite advanced, and can cause plenty
of heart ache amougnst the enemies town center.
After saving a good sized swag of Gold and stock piling
food. You will have to build two Bronze Age buildings
to be able to go into the next age, Iron Age.
At Iron Age the attacks will definately come and
now is when the skill and well managed attacks will
hopefully take you through to the end of the game and
leave you with a triumphant win against your opponants.
If not then you will be the one who lays down at the
feet of your opponant and awaits for defeat to take you
in its wake.
