+2

i have age of empires 1 for pc, 2 for ps2 and AOE 3 i will not get, as me and my cousin completed it in 6 hours 14 minuits at his house :roll:

although age of emires are massively realistic, they have a person cap

which is annoying if you want a big battle

i dont care if i like it, from what ivee seen of SS/ clips etc its a shaggable game, although i would have to find somewhere that sold it for £25, and even then, i wouldnt have enough money go out :(

ancient wars: sparta is released 20th april, and my mum can pre-order and get for £18, but i also have to get AOE 2 for ps2 fixed, and have money left over to go out ( im goin to xscape) and i have £25 birthday money left, asi just bought wireless mouse for ps2 8)

i have the rge to re-create 300, but with a 200 man cap, it gonna have to be like 10 men vs 200, which will suck ass, although in scenario builder, u can have unlimited, but thats only for AOE 1 yes?

first one u can have 200 if you play multiplayer with yourself

and yes, ive played the third, but only campaighn missions, as ive said, i completed it in less than a day so im not going to buy it :)


and the second the cap is 100 on multiplayer which normaly allows more thatn in campaighn (i have 2nd for ps2, so it might be lil different, although i had many online games on AOE 2)

its immense :roll: although theres noobs who add nuklear weapons and giant frisbees, and kill you withing 3 secs .

its fun if you have a normal game, or organised war, i did that



his 14000 vs my 2300 (yes, the guy did hack, to allow us that many, but it was for the greater good)

i lost :(, although it was an incredible battle, he sorrounded me, double flanked, i killed like 10k of his men though :P, he still hacks, but its only with me, and it only to alow bigger pop, unlimited resources etc

I played Move Out Of Your Parents' House for a year and a half and it was awesome, but it's P2P. I had to cancel my subscription last fall but I'm going to buy the sequel this summer.

age of empires 2 if ur old school

you can download age of empires for free on download.com

don't worry theres no spam or anything

I suggest Rome:total war and its series or battlefield 2142

DONT buy empires: dawn of the modern world. Its maybe 3 or 4 years old. Looks like a nice game but its a load of shit. I have the game so its personal experience.

rome total war doesn't have any caps and you actually need strategies to fight. (not just getting good units like in AoE games).

and i like company of heroes, although it does have a gap, which is kinda annoying since tanks take up more space.

Stronghold FTW. Stronghold Crusader is old but awsome. I still play it almost every day.
