Better than I had hoped

Look-- I thought Ensemble screwed up Age of Mythology. I couldn't get my armies big like I wanted, and the graphics were too nice at the expense of gameplay. They pretty much got it right with AOE III.

Still the graphics are a little too good, and I cannot even crank them to full power with my Geforce 5200 and Athlon 2600+ processor. It seems to be a heavy burdon with some of the maps due to textures. Ok, maybe I should buy a new graphics card or processor-- but I am not made of money and cannot do that with every round of games. I prefer good gameplay and don't care so much about the pretty picture- hey I still think that Galaga and Defender rock.

Still overall, this game delivers and is worth the money. I haven't gone online yet to play, I am too scared that I will get addicted to that like I did with AOE II. But it is a good use of an hour or so to take on a team of 3 computer enemies and waste them all.

I got a very hard time installing the game and many errors occur during the game. Dont expect to get the full game cuz the errors pop up many times during a game. It seems the installing CDs are corrupted.

THE BEST GAME IN THE UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are not going to play On ESO or multiplayer you might not want to bother with this game. The single player mode is good for practice and sharpening your skills and reflexes for the multiplayer part of the game. The campaign or story mode for AOEIII is lacking in my opinion. It is not as in depth in history as the previous Age of Empires series. The Story mode is also rather short and even at the highest level of playing (Expert) it is still not much of a challenge and plus its not that interesting.
Now for the multiplayer part of the game. You can make or join clans or groups of players to fight aganist other clans. You gain levels for each city that you have and how many games you win. There are also Chat rooms and Ladders to see which players have the best ranks. You may also download replays off of websites and learn from them. I really enjoy this game partly because it is set in another era of history and the most unique of the series and also the whole real time strategy games so far. If you buy this game you can catch me on multiplayer my name is: Chachoo, add me to your friends list and we will play a few games. See you out there!

this is a great game .

Size of the Men of War

I'm an old Age player who really appreciates the size of people in Ages 1 & 2. Because it makes the game more realistic for me. But when subsequent heavy 3-D grafics came out (like Age of Mythology), everybody got tiny. One can't tell what the unit is unless you zoom in but then you loose much of the battle field.

Does Age of Empires 111 AND itd new expansion carry on the tradition of larger images for its population??

Another Microsoft Winner.... AOE III !!!

I have been a fan of Age of Empires since it first came out. This is another fun upgrade. They have really expanded the graphics and options that you have on this one. Make sure you have plenty of memory and a decent memory card in your PC or you will have problems running this baby since it is pretty graphic intensive.
I found this a little hard to follow at first if you don't read a little of the book. Otherwise it basically is the same as far as going through the different stages etc. I love the new layout and graphics. Looks like another winner to me!

Age of Empires 111 and all of AOE are AWESOME!!!!!

AOE 111 is amazing, I got it for christmas in 2005, and now I have played the campains 3 times. The campains are really cool, and the game is awesome. The home city is sweet because you can get shipments of almost anything once you get to higher home city levels.

I recomend AOE 111 and all AOE to everyone, a lot of strategy and fun!!!!

Great Game

If you enjoyed previous editions of the Age of Empires seriers this is another great one. The concept is the same however there are many new features that make this game even better. No longer is every civilization very similar with the exception of a unit or two or three upgrades, now each civilization has many uniquies units and abilities. As well with the edition of hte HOME CITY adds many new stratagies and lots of fun. Havn't played much singleplayer but the online is great. AOE finally got a decent online server no more of the Zone. Server is easy to use to find games, or use the quick match to find players of similar level. NOTE Home city levels do not carry over from single player to mulitplayer so dont try to build a really high level and then go play wiht it online. You DO NOT gain exp online playing only computers. if you want to get exp play with or against other humans.
