Age of Empires

Control your tribe with the mouse. Make them build houses, docks, farms, and temples. Advance your civilization through time by learning new skills. The game allows for the player to advance through the ages: stone age, tool age, bronze age. If the player would rather get away from the historical aspect, the game offers a random terrain generator and a custom scenario builder.

Age of Empires is a real-time strategy game based on the ancient world and requires the player to develop a civilization from a handful of hunter-gatherers to an expansive Iron Age Empire. Twelve civilizations are available, each with individual sets of attributes, including a varying number of available technologies and units. To assure victory, the player must gather resources in order to pay for new units, buildings, and more advanced technology.
