AGE OF EMPIRES 2 THE CONQUERORS MAC TRIAL
In the El Cid campaign, you must conquer armies, win a trial by combat, and ally with other cultures to succeed in the final battle. The new campaigns are both challenging and fun. These units carry barrels of explosives and cause great damage to large structures. Another great new unit is the Petard, which all new cultures can create from their castles. The heavily armoured Korean Turtle Ship and War Wagons are great for taking down ships and structures. The Mayan Plumed Archers are quick and very effective in battle, not unlike the Chinese Chu Ko Nu. The Aztecs and Mayans have a new Eagle Warrior, a fast ground unit that acts as both scout and infantryman. These simple enhancements make a big difference in efficient gameplay.įive new civilisations have been added to the mix - the Mayans, Aztecs, Koreans, Spanish and Huns - and each comes equipped with a new unique unit or two. In addition, naval units now follow the same attack formations as ground units. The Conquerors adds the ability to queue farms for automatic replanting, allowing for quicker and more efficient development. Now, after villagers build a resource structure (like a mill or a mine) they'll immediately start gathering the appropriate resource. Building walls and getting busy (working not dancing) comes much easier for them. First of all, villagers are much smarter. The Conquerors improves the existing AOE2 gameplay in a number of ways. With new cultures, maps, units, technologies and more, The Conquerors manages to enhance one of the best RTS games around. What can be said of an expansion pack? In the case of Age of Empires II: The Conquerors Expansion, "Hell, yeah!" comes to mind.
