3.0 out of 5 stars Good for the scenarios, looks limited otherwise
I glanced through this book several times at the local bookstores since it was the only one I was able to find of the first three coming out. After reading the reviews for the Microsoft book, I think this one suffers the same problem: it's geared towards the scenarios and not the real point of the game (in my opinion) which is its great multiplayer play.

I glanced through this book several times at the local bookstores since it was the only one I was able to find of the first three coming out. After reading the reviews for the Microsoft book, I think this one suffers the same problem: it's geared towards the scenarios and not the real point of the game (in my opinion) which is its great multiplayer play. There is, as I recall, one chapter that deals mainly with multiplayer play. It looked like an OK chapter, but it's still just one chapter. I want a whole book on multiplayer strategy.

I suggest you trot down to the local bookstore before you commit to purchasing this one, because if you're into the online game, it's probably not what you want. If you're just getting started or intend to focus on the 1-player game, then this book is probably decent.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not geared towards multi-player, which is AOE's stronghold, April 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Age of Empires: Unofficial Strategies & Secrets (Paperback)
I read this book cover-to-cover... not one darn thing that i hadnt gotten from mrgrinch.com . And that site is free. My advice would be to visit a few websites and read the help file... this book is only for beginners .
