I do not know if any of you out there play this game anymore, but I love it and wanted to know of those who play it: Which is your favourite tribe...? I guess nobody will answer at all.  Mine are the Goths because you can produce infantery so fast and for so few money. Best greetings, Badabec. ------------- Mesmo a tristeza da gente era mais bela E além disso se via da janela Um cantinho de céu e o Redentor - Antônio Carlos Jobim, Toquinho & Vinícius de Moraes - Carta ao Tom 74 |

I always loved playing as the Teutonic people. They had a coolest special unit, that if you could keep them protected until melee combat ensued, it would be a slaughterfest. Plus, the cheaper farms, larger garrison, double rate of fire of town centers, and the range of their monks make them a formidable foe. What can you say about a team that can wipe out an opponent with town centers?  ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |

AOE 3 rules. I need to revisit AOE 2. I don't have a real favorite. I just try a different tribe each time. -------------

Man I love this game. All of the AOEs are brilliantly made with some amusing cheats to say the least  I also love it's modernised counterpart Command And Conquer. Sadly underrated  Anyways, onto the poll, I'm gonna go with the Brits. With all the distance upgrades and arrow upgrades, and army of longbowmen is practically untouchable and can even outrange castles. Followed by the Goths. ------------- "Market value is irrelevant to intrinsic value." Arnold Schoenberg |

Gotta give it to the vikings even though I can't remember playing them. Perhaps I should install it some day to our crappy computer and give them a try... ------------- http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=42652" rel="nofollow - It's on PA!

I'm convinced AOE 2 is the best game ever put. At least top 3. I continually go back to it...or I did when I could. I was a big fan of Japan, and then the Turks and French (loved the farm refill benefit!).

Classic stuff, of course... Franks were probably my favourite, easy to get to grips with, classy knights, superb unique unit, slam castles down everywhere. The Goths, in spite of being pretty disastrous until the expansion came out, were also fun... there was a pretty intense game against two hardest computers with that civ. Aztecs were lethal for sheer +14mn attack pikemen and infantry... I always found monks a bit too awkward to deploy in numbers. Oh, and the Turks were pretty fun with the ultra-bombards and mass light cavalry/handgunners. So, yes, classic game, and I think just about all the civs had something going for them. |

Byzantines were objectively, the best... However my preffered ones are the same as Robert, and for the same reason! Those "Caballero de la Orden Teutonic"(in spanish) are sooo cool!! and had 18 of attack or something like that! |

Ah, my brother used to choose them always! They're great at the begining of the match, since you don't need to build houses, that is if my memory is correct. However, later on, they're not that good, IMO. Hehe, don't think I'm a computer nerd  Used to play it, and I'm sure all you did, as a kid! The quests were excellent! Someone must make a poll which of the quests is your fave! |

One more fan of the Teutons. I haven't played in a few years and looking back, I was one of the worst players. All I would do is defend long enough to build up everything, then send in a force of 190 Teutonic Warriors.

I liked the single player a lot and was pretty impressed by how cool the Aztec campaign was. There was a lot of thought put into those single player campaigns. Multiplayer... I never stuck with one! I was never that good and I had already started loosing interest with competitive play in any video games. Today I don't connect online for any gaming reason whatsoever, and its been that way for at least 3 years. With AOM when I was 14 I remember going Norse. I remember got sick playing so much though, and I had to stop. I think I was beginning to push myself to the limits competitively, and I was only average. Later, I bought games and never once went online with them, including games like RoN, CoD, BF: 1942... etc. Never once. |

| I've played the tutorial for AOE2, but since I only have a 30GB hard drive and my computer has been acting up I went on a deleting spree. Soon I'll get it on again and be able to answer this poll. On the subject of old games, does/has anybody played Descent 3? |

Age of Empires II is a game about empires...and it happens to be my favorite of the lot. Never got better than that. III is pretty fun, and I, although cool, certainly shows its age. My favorite civilization? Hmm...I like the immediacy of certain infantry civilizations like the Celts and the Japanese, also a big fan of Briton. But probably my favorite was the Mongols. When I got my army of Mandolins together, I was an unstoppable horde. I'd just ride them over here, shoot the living crap outta this, wheel them over there, rinse, repeat. ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight.

yes for me, too  i played it 1 month ago with my friends on lan.. it was pretty fun again  my favourite civilisation are the mongols because their special units were the best! they had a attack bonus against siege units and when some annoying trebuchets were about to bring down your castles you just needed a few of them, quickly rode outside and in a blink of an eye destroyed them greets ------------- It's just a ride... <3 |

Nice... I agree with you people... the Teutonic Warriors were great... but I usually wait them with 80 or 90 elite plumed archers of the Mayas and they fall like dead flies before they can reach my troops... I use in multiplayer games Mayas and Aztecs... of course, I identify myself with that great culture of the mayas... as they lived where I born... but then I use Huns because they didn't need houses and vikings for their warriors that recover them selves alone and their nice boats... what was the name...??? I forgot... but I use a lot of civilizations, and it was difficult to use Mayas and Aztecs because they didn't have cavalry... but as I was really an addicted to the game... I could defeat anyone with my Archers and Eagle warriors... ------------- |

I don't play anymore, but Teutons on their farming bonuses and strength of special unit. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. " |

yes... the Aztec campaing was really native and interesting with all the Mystical aproach they gave it... but you remember there was a big mistake in their 4 episode, where you have to destroy a Wonder to free Tenochtitlán... you can skip a lot of the story if you made a direct attack to the wonder while it was in construction... jejeje... I remember I did it a lot of times... jejeje... ------------- |
