:Good Idea:
·Land Grab in which you try to conquer as much land as you can. That's just a great mode that's hard and well worth the accomplishment.
·Building a Wonder actually could help you win the game, no matter how much you haven't been attacking.
·Random map generator.

:Bad Idea:
·Not enough differences between ages.
·No stat system.
·Too tempting to cheat with the nuclear unit. Gaaa!

:Overall:
·A terrific game from back in the day. Any Age of Empires fan should already have played this and if not, you're just a playa. If you haven't played it and can't afford today's high priced games, this is a very entertaining game.
