Microsoft Age of Empires is an epic, real-time strategy game spanning 10,000 years, where players are the guiding spirit in the evolution of a small Stone Age tribe. Starting with minimal resources, players are challenged to build their tribes into great civilisations. Choose from one of several ways to win the game: by conquering enemy civilisations, exploring the known world or accumulating wealth to achieve economic victory.
But don't stop there. Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome Expansion starts off where Age of Empires left off. Continue your gameplay with several new features, including four additional civilisations, several unique units and three entirely new campaigns, showcasing the rise of Rome.
