    Offers a ton of new elements to keep you glued to your screen for hours. Whether playing against the computer or online, "The Conquerors" improves an already fantastic game.

    It's as if Michaelangelo came down, picked up an already beautiful painting and made it a masterpiece.

    An excellent addition to the original game. It offers increased depth, extends the replay ability of the game, and offers enough tweaks to eliminate some of the frustrations.

    Just when Age of Empires II was starting to seem a little played out, Ensemble Studios has made it a game that might just keep you up late again with The Conquerors expansion.

    The multiple additions in "The Conquerors" add up to be more than enough to entice "Age of Kings" players to focus their attention on this ambitious, deeply strategic game once again - and for a long time.

    Incredibly balanced and well polished. If you have AoK, you must get The Conquerers Expansion.

    This expansion's additions prove that more is indeed better, but the balancing issues are troubling.

    A legendary game. Very addictive, and still fresh to play after many, many years.

    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 Maybe the graphics are out of date, but that does not matter, it's all about gameplay.

    This game is just like Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings, but with more civilizations, limited difficulty modes, and additional tools/tacticsThis game is just like Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings, but with more civilizations, limited difficulty modes, and additional tools/tactics that's never been seen before in the Age of Empires franchise.

    From looking at the critics, they don't like it as much as Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings; it's probably because there's not much new things going on, that a few additional tools/tactics didn't affect them as much as the additional tools/tactics difference between Age of Empires 2 and Age of Empires 1. But still, if you like Age of Empires 1 & 2 or just 2, you'll like this one too, for they're no different from each other.    … Expand

    The best strategy game for me. Played thousands of hours with my brothers over LAN & then in Internet.
    If you are looking for modern day    The best strategy game for me. Played thousands of hours with my brothers over LAN & then in Internet.
    If you are looking for modern day graphics this is not the game for you, if you go for game play over graphics keep on reading.

    Cons:
    - Not the best AI, game difficulty is set by giving additional resources to computer player in the start.
    - Extremely addictive

    Pros:
    - No 2 games alike
    - Many civilizations to play
    - Still active game rooms for competitive multi-player game play after a decade, check through "GameRanger"
    - Addition to built in game types, various community created game types to play.
    - You can have a loads of fun by just watching a recorded game which consist of computer players.
    - With map editor you can create your own game scenarios.
    - After all that community created Forgotten Empires expansion pack with new civilization with improved game play for more fun.    … Expand
