Although it's not as in depth as Civilisations, it's a cracking strategy game series.
The early versions ( AOE & AOE II ) were worthy of anyones time, but when AOE III came out .....

.....What an improvement:drool5:

The graphics quality and animation were improved immensely.
Tons more options and civilisations to command.

What are your thoughts on the series

i played the Age of Empires II age of kings a lot. it was tons of fun especially when i got the cheat codes for the cars with machine guns. that was awesome.

Yep, did that myself, created loads of chevvies and wiped the opposition out.

Have you tried out the AOE III versions ?

[jsr104]

no i havent. i dont think theyd run on my laptop unfortunatly. and i dont have a lot of time to play, with face and football manager :).
im guessing you have?

I tend to get about 3-4 hrs average a day on the PC.
More on my days off work.

Split my PC time between browsing, LMA Manager 2007 and AOE.

I'll give FM 2008 a go, now you've added the download links.
Cheers.
