Game Description

Released in 1999, Age of Empires II: The Conquerors is the follow-up expansion to the wildly famous Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings base game. Overall, it is the fourth game in the AoE series. Building on the Age of Kings, the game features five new civs, new expansions, gameplays and technologies. Overall, the graphics are the same as in AoK. The new gameplay features introduced in Aoe2 The Conquerors include game modes such as defend the wonder, where players must dedicate the entire game defending a wonder for a certain time period. Wonder race is another game mode, which involves building a wonder before your opponent completes his – wonders can be destroyed before they are completed, thus making the game hard for both sides. New maps in the game include more real-life maps, based on actual locations found on earth. These places include countries such as Japan, Scandinavia, Texas, Iberia, Italy and Arabia. Additionally, tropical and winter areas (jungle and snow respectively) was a key missing map terrain in Age of Kings. This was introduced in this new expansion. Despite the graphics being identical to the first AOE2, new gameplay additionals include all-new, much-needed civilizations including the Aztecs, Huns, Spanish, Koreans and Mayans

  2. Is there a trick to getting the Conquerors CD Patch to operate properly? I was able to the files and extract them, but it doesn’t seem to want to open once extracted. Oddly enough, it boots up just fine when I run the age2_x1.exe directly out of WinRAR, but it creates a new version of the game every time (i.e. none of my profile or saved games are saved.)

    When I extract to a file on my hard drive, nothing happens when I click the .exe

    Please help!

  3. Hey, this is really awesome! Just wondering if there is supposed to be background music in this version or not in the campaign? Just checking as there isn’t any for me.

  4. Am playing this game on win 7. I ed from this site cause i have lost the Age of kings CD and the conquerors expansion does not load without that. Now the s here work perfectly, but the graphics are botched. Very grainy.
    Earlier (when i was using the CD to play), switching off explorer worked with the graphics. Now i cannot switch off explorer and start the game.
    any ideas how to get around this?
