Age of Empires is back with new civs, units, and methods of destroying your enemies. Age of Empires: The Conquerors is just another game in a series that has had some good games so far, but I think this game has really took the franchise to new heights. Age of Empires 2 has come out and I will check it out, but now I must express my gratitude for the series through this game, because I feel it is the best one. The first thing Age of Empires fans check out on this game is the new campaigns, which include Atilla the Hun, Montezuma, El Cid, and the Conquerors campaigns. Among the conquerors campaigns are Erik the Red and Henry V. All of these campaigns are fun and addictive and all require a player to do different things in order to achieve victory. Every one of them are difficult at some point and require much strategy. There have also been the addition of new civilizations. The aztecs, spanish, mayans, and koreans round out the new batch of civilizations. All of them are unique. Like every other civilization, these four have special units which I found to be very cool. The spanish special unit, the conquistador, is my favorite. This game was an improvement off of the other installements in the game and I have a feeling Microsoft has raised the bar for all other strategy games. The Age of Kings was a huge seller, and while the Age of Conquerors hasn't quite reached that status, the game is brilliant and in my opinion is a lot more fun than it's counterpart.
