this game is great. i've played all previous versions of A.o.E., and thus far, i like this the best. my favorite factor is that not can you only be more than one civilization, but that each civilization has different versions of inventions. some have better siege weapons, and some have better military units than others. all in all, this is definitely worth buying, and i think that it's a classic. This game features new military controls, as well as controls for keeping all of your villagers working, and your militias busy. I really suggest this game to anyone who just wants a fun game to play on their computer that's not filled with vulgarities and excessive violence. Age of Empires: The Age of Kings is a wonderful game, and i highly recommend it.
