In fact, several methods are provided for selecting individual units as well and establishing a rallying point (a flag) that can be situated just about anywhere on the game map. The selection process of grouping like units together could be difficult but isn't, due to the intelligent visual depiction of groups that allow for a fast winnowing-out process. The actual movement of your forces on-screen couldn't be simpler, especially with the point-and-click interface and shortcut keys that, once learned, make manipulation of the many aspects of gameplay a breeze.

Additionally, the manual contains an exhaustive "tips" page for beginners not familiar or experienced with real-time strategy games. To help novices conquer the learning curve necessary in the game, a short campaign-based tutorial is provided that guides William Wallace through his attempts to thwart the British troops of Henry Longshanks as they try to bully the Scots into submission.
Level headed and decisive management of requirements, resources, research and goals are essential in AOEII:AOK and can seem daunting at times in the flurry of real-time activity. Individual units (a vast number exist) can be periodically upgraded as well along with the effectiveness of purpose for which they serve. These structures, shown amazingly to scale with astounding details, eventually build to magnificent showcases that dazzle the eye. One highlight of the game (there are many), features buildings that are upgraded pursuant to advancement through the four ages: Dark, Feudal, Castle and Imperial. Regardless of which civilization you choose to play, each will exhibit traits, weaponry and research proclivities based on the historical record. The 13 civilizations are easily recognizable due to factors that include distinctive cultural philosophies (in both political and military areas), the flavor of realistic language indigenous to each race that, while somewhat limited in scope, is still very influential in developing an era-enhancing atmosphere and proprietary architecture that evolves throughout the various ages.
Even though the on-screen images of similar types of units may at times be difficult to discern (especially in the furious heat of large battles), the designers have more than made up for it in several ways. In effect, any faults AOEII may have are niggling at best and don't critically affect the intense and absorbing qualities of this real-time strategy success.įor those who like historically based strategy games, look no further than Age of Empires II. The designers have "fixed" the majority of major complaints levied at the original Age of Empires and, in one fell swoop, have improved the product immensely while incorporating significant features in nearly all aspects of gameplay. While not perfect, AOEII contains no sharp-stick-in-the-eye game busters or fatal flaws that suddenly leap at you after hours of play. This brings me back to the subject of this review, Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings, a game that incorporates the best features of the real-time strategy genre and manages to avoid the numerous pitfalls that often lessen a gamers experience. In light of this discouraging and dismaying trend, the release of a RTS game free of any major problems is a significant event.

Unfortunately, with this increased capability comes the logical downside, a necessary evil of modern-day gaming - the obligatory patch or patches that soon follow on the heels of the original game release, usually fed by fan feedback through on-line forums, e-mails, news groups and so forth. Who can blame the designers for trying to take advantage of every new possibility as they forge games with more and more capabilities and scramble to pack their products with the latest enhancements and technology of game design? This might be expected, though not excused, due to the complexity inherent in most new titles as the limits of computer gaming technology expand in ever widening increments. Far more the exception than the rule, this happy event occurs much too seldom in practice considering the tremendous number of computer games released each month (circa 1999). Every so often a game comes along that manifests itself as a reviewer's delight.
