Many Clans use a tag system in which a user must reflect the clans "tag". A high-ranked member of a particular clan will invite members to join, joining has its benefits such as giving players a reputation, a virtual gaming "home" in which a user can get downloads, and be filled in on the latest news. For example, due to technical reasons most Chinese players play in CGA, which usually has over 6000 online players at a time.Ī clan is a community of players within a particular game, and in this case many players in AoC belong to a clan, to get into a clan it usually involves being "recruited".

GameSpy was selected by Microsoft as the official replacement for online play, although alternatives are available such as Voobly. These include the Battle of Agincourt, the saga of Erik the Red, and the Battle of Hastings, among others.Īs of June 2006, The MSN Gaming Zone CD-ROM section was shut down for Age of Empires players, as well as many other CD-ROM games. The fourth campaign, Battles of the Conquerors, is actually a group of unrelated single scenarios, each based on a significant historical battle. These are based on Attila the Hun's rise to power, Montezuma's defense against Hernan Cortez, and the adventures of El Cid. The Conquerors adds four additional single player campaigns.
Chat commands are introduced in order to communicate more effectively with allied computer players. Additionally, an in-game option has been added to allow the game to automatically replenish Farms after they are exhausted. Villagers will now automatically start gathering resources if they build resource gathering sites, while siege weapons will not fire if their attack is likely to harm friendly units (though it may not seem like it). Micromanagement is made easier by an improved scripted artificial intelligence of Villagers and siege weapons. Also, infantry are able to garrison in rams, increasing their attack and speed, while ships are able to form formations in order to fight more effectively. New maps were also included which are based on real life geographic locations and new winter and tropical terrain. Now a peasant that gathers resources, won't stop when the resources he has in front of him finish, he will look for more.The Conquerors has new gameplay features and changes such as the game modes Defend the Wonder, King of the Hill, and Wonder Race. One of the major improvements has to be the peasants' AI, with added preset tasks so they didn't wander about doing nothing, something usual when the battle requires maximum attention. Furthermore, each civilization has a unique technology with the intention that each player can take advantage of both the strong points of his own civilization and the weak points of his enemies. It also adds 11 new units, 4 new campaigns and 26 new technologies. The Conquerors adds several new civilizations like the Spanish, the Huns or the Aztecs, as well as optimizing the Artificial Intelligence of those that already existed beforehand. If Age of Empires II was already an incredible strategy game, The Conquerors expansion made it even better due to the fact that it optimized dozens of details that made the playability of the game even better than before. A game that marked a milestone in RTS development, that with The Conquerors expansion has almost reached perfection, becoming an instant classic. If you enjoy strategy games on your PC, you will surely know the masterpiece by Ensemble Studios, Age of Empires II.
