    Still one of the best strategy games ever! Maybe the graphics are out of date, but that does not matter, it's all about gameplay.

    Easily one of my top 5 games to play of all time. My friends and I played 6 games in a row last night.

    Age of Kings was a great game that needed some improvements, but Conquerors fixes that.

    As you can tell the game has better graphics than Aoe. It has better units strategies and how they are controlled.

    Why shouldn't it get a 10, you ask? Because it is easy enough for a novice, it features great graphics, and some of the best game play. This is my current all-time favorite game.

    While not exactly a necessity, this is a high quality expansion pack. This is especially true if you like to download and/or design scenarios, as the expansion adds a number of new editor features that allow for much more intricate work than before.

    It's an excellent game. The best strategy game ever. The only thing I should complain about is the Editor (It should have more options).

    AoE2 was already a great RTS. With the expansion, it was complete. All of that damn micromanagement became a thing of the past, Five new civilizations, includin American ones, gave new ways to play, the new units like harbaldiers filled up spots that needed filling (Pikemen just don't work in the Imperial age) and, as a bonus, the scenarios were fun too, and offered a good mix of different aspects of the genre. The Aztec campaign, for example, had a variety of starting situations, ranging from a lone hero to the legendary city of Tetizi... Tenkoche... Threntoitz... whatever its called. All in all, an expansion that improves the old formula and makes something new. I'm taking a point off since no core tenant of the game was radically changed. 9 is still a great grade for an expansion pack.… Expand

    Good gaming! Rather frustrating at times though. Sometimes the video messes up but this is probably due to the video card being used in combination with limited RAM.

    If you already own "Age of Kings" and you don't own "The Conquerors," you should: new units, new general techs, and I especially love the special technology that each civilization can research. (Faster War Elephants? I mean, give me a break!) My only gripe is that I wish the developers had done a little more to balance the civs out, but all things considered, this is a must have for any fan. … Expand

    This is what a RTS is supposed to be. Great gameplay mechanics, awesome units and buildings, a sweet (albeit complex) map editor, and the most incredibly sweet online multiplayer mode. A must play.

    Oh how I loved thee! This was one of my first online RTS games and remains all time favorite till today! No wonder I am giving it a 10! A perfectly balanced game with fun elements (Monks!) that allow deep strategy and re-playability that lasts decades. Bring'em on!

    This is probably the best strategy game ever! My family still plays this game, It's amazing! So what if the graphics are old, it's still suck a good game and it may not seem like its a very deep game but trust me it is.

    incredibly fun, still offers great deal of playability. the community is far from dead and great amount of fun comes with the modding. on heavengames there exists many tools to mod and also many mods and extensions to the game..

    You definitely get a lot of bang for your buck and fans of the series should be more than happy with the results.

    a very expansive and well thought out package that should be worth the money for most PC gamers.

    Should serve as an example for other companies how an expansion pack should be done.
