i grew up with this game. but unlike all the games i played as a kid/young teen, this game (and rollercoaster tycoon) this one is still outstanding. it is basic but it is endless fun. its not gory or bloody. i recommend this game to anybody. it is great for kids and teens. very easy to use as well. but do yourself a favor, dont by aoe3. it is half the game this is.

This game is nothing special. Just another RTS game taking place in Medieval Europe where you try to advance through the ages and build a strong army to wipe the floor with your opponent.
