Age of Empires II: The Age of the Kings for PC and PS2 is the continuation of the Age of Empires series – one of the most acclaimed series in the RTS genre, which was first released in 1996, as a product of the cooperation between Ensemble Studios and Microsoft. Similarly to the original game, The Age of the Kings was created mainly for PC players, but the game also received a PS2 version two years after its debut.

Mechanics

The general gameplay formula used in Age of Empires II: The Age of the Kings does not differ significantly from the mechanics of the first game. The player becomes a leader of one of the available civilizations. Their goal is to achieve global dominance throughout four subsequent epochs, namely the dark age, the feudal age, the castle age, and the imperial age. In order to succeed, the player has to gather resources, such as food, stone, wood or gold, as well as to develop their settlement gradually – this is done through constructing new buildings and unlocking access to the latest technological advancements. However, The Age of the Kings also requires players to fight – players not only have to defend their property, but also attack their neighbors in order to obtain new lands.
