The sequel to the award-winning, best-selling real-time strategy game Age of Empires. Age of Empires II spans 1,000 years, from the fall of Rome through the Middle Ages. You control the destiny of one of 13 civilizations.

Use garrisoning, military formations and advantages in direction facing to add interesting tactical choices. Units are also smarter, with new artificial intelligence options like guard, patrol and follow as well as multiple aggression levels.
Improve the economy of their civilization through expanded trade and diplomacy options
Civilizations include Franks, Japanese, Byzantine and the raiding Viking, Mongol and Celt civilizations. Each civilization has unique attributes, buildings and technologies as well as a particular combat unit based on its historical counterpart.
Production queues, improved navigation points and customizable hot-key systems have been added. In addition, more audio cues make empire management easier. Map shortcuts like gathering points make it easier for players to coordinate and plan their battles.
Take more than a thousand years of evolution to build your nation into a powerful, flourishing empire. Buildings and units upgrade and improve as players pass through the Middle Ages.
