Hah, no that was the cheat for this car. I assume thats what they meant. Howdoyouturnthison

This game never gets old! It's had steady updates and bug fixes from a large community of players ever since Microsoft released the last official patch for it - many of these updates were incorporated into the xOmicron user patch, which effectively turns the original version of the game (if you still have it) into the HD Edition. Releasing it on Steam was kind of a no-brainer - now it's easily accessible, runs really well and has a lot of active players and amazing Steam workshop support. Getting a new, official expansion pack (The Forgotten/Forgotten Empires) was a bit of a surprise after so many years - and then another new expansion pack (African Kingdoms) just came out yesterday! So as if there wasn't enough to get out of the base game + Conquerors expansion, there are two modern expansions, plus all the mods, plus all the multiplayer you can handle. With a community that's more active than ever before, you can bet that there's at least another 15 years of life in this game!




Yes, that is how Steam works.

Price changed?

The first Settles had me addicted for months on end, I remember playing that split screen on the Amiga 500 with my brother using two mice.

We even managed to hook that up to the VCR to record our gameplay, 20 some years before Twitch became a thing :wink:

Likewise when we got a PC I think we both played the AOE demo to death as it was included on the disc of the first PC magazine I ever got. Needless to say months later when we finally got the full game that got so much play time.

I remember playing online games with dial-up that disconnected every two hours, I had to ensure I had just connected to the internet before playing a game to ensure it didn't disconnect half way though a game. Some good memories!

Excellent game, difficult to play online though as often you just get knight rushed.

One of my most played games as a youngster on pc. That and roller coaster tycoon!!!!

Amazing game, wasted many, many hours (days?) playing this when I should have been studying. Hot.

Solid classic game! Teutonic Knight ftw!

£2.99 IS a lot of money for some people. It's easy to judge. Perhaps he has just had his benefits stopped, or his toilet cleaning job doesn't pay too well. Perhaps he's lost his paper round because of the decline of the newspaper industry?

Great price, it's a lot of play time for your money. Countless hours playing this year's ago, the multiplayer aspect was a laugh on the zone :smiley:

Custom taunts and maps.

This and total annihilation I highly recommend.

U can just download it from the internet..

OK I'm not a gamer so only a few games have ever got me addicted.

Manic Miner
Banjo Kazooie 1 &2 (for Nintendo)
Settlers
Age of Empires

Must admit I enjoyed AOE1 over AOE2 even though the latter had better graphics and gameplay.

AOE3 was once 10p on here :smiley:

Heat for the nostalgia.

People will pirated games they can get for a penny.

​the lumberjack, Robinhood and Marco polo know how to activate the game!!

I was thinking to buying it, have a question tho.. Is there still someone who play it online? Is the online any good?

Are we really that bad... people will essentially steal a game for less than £3... I spent more than that on my lunch

P.S I own the original game.... and still bought this just for the Steam integration.. this is an amazing game and to say it hasn't aged well?? This game was ahead of its time and i'd play it now.

If anyone wants any information just ask, but if you wanna steal it then feel free but sometimes you gotta support the people who develop these games, if everyone stole they'd be very little game developers left.

Hah, no that was the cheat for this car. I assume thats what they meant. Howdoyouturnthison

Most comments are about the great multiplayer. Is this game worth getting for the single player campaign mode?

Wish this was for mac. One of my favourite PC games

how do you turn this on

We can always use more british players in this game, so join up :P! There are tourneys going left and right in the other platforms (non-steam). Most recently a group of players even went to the Maldives to play out the finals of a tournament.

Might take a year to get decently competitive at this game though, but the road to learn the game is so enjoyable and rewarding.

no iplayed 3 before 2 so it was a bit of a let down when i played 2

i have to say i played 2 and 3 of the game and 3 is miles better

Wait what? Stealing a car is the same as stealing a game? You can download other peoples cars now? No way that's awesome!

But seriously people who think stealing a physical object is the same as pirating a game or downloading music illegally need to get a grip. They're two very different things, what i would agree Is they're both morally wrong.

There's been plenty of research done on this subject and these days I'd hope anyone who ever has or does still illegally download will actually buy the game and support the developers if they enjoy it. Just look at the batman refunds being offered, do you think the people who pirated that game are sorry?

Played this fairly recently. Hasn’t aged well, IMO...

WoLoLooo

Absolutely loved this game the first time around but I'd want to play it for the multiplayer. I've read in some of the steam reviews that it crashes a lot? Does anyone have any experience with this? Is there plenty of people still playing it online?

Many thanks in advance.

Rogan?

Voted hot!

New expansion out now too (on sale as well). Considering it is more than a decade old, that's pretty impressive!

great game great price :smiley:

Loved this game as a kid/teen..

well said Mrcollective

Such a good game, online multiplayer is a blast!

bought it yesterday :smiley: looking forward to playing it again
