 ike a fine flagon of wine, an empire needs
to age before it blossoms into its fullest expression. You've got, oh, about five minutes
of peace in Age of Empires before the barbarians are at the gate - and they're not selling
Girl Scout cookies. What? You didn't even build a gate? Uh-oh.
Age of Empires is a real-time strategy game that requires quick and intelligent
decision-making. Deep down, you always knew that if you'd lived 2500 years ago, the world
would have quaked at the mention of your name, and Alex, that upstart, would have been
known as "Alexander the Merely OK." Here's your chance to strap on a breastplate
and a funny-looking helmet and prove it!
Do you have what it takes to obliterate your enemies or make them bow down before your
mighty Wonder of the World? Of course you do, now that you're reading GameSpot's Guide to
Age of Empires!
