My Favorite game


Age of empires


Reasons why I like the game:

  • Not heavy but good graphics – Very less real time rendering, the game works really well in low end PCs too, I used to play it on a Celeron 466 MHz
  • The Game play involves an amazing amount of strategy – Managing citizens and armies simultaneously. This was not unique to this game but I liked the balance of strategy here
  • The Navigation and the functionality of the game were excellent. Using short cuts like “.” To find a free citizen was good
  • Engrossing story board, especially the one with William Wallace. It is like history retold.
  • The concept of having a complete war of the medieval times is amazing … all the details of the war are well designed. Like only Bowmen can kill Cavalry.
  • The concept of evolution from castle age to medieval age is unique
  • Different modes of the game like Regicide, Death match … can make if fun, regional changes like winter, desert, archipelago all make it challenging
