Histoire (IGDB)
The player has control over a society and guides them through four different time periods or "ages". The game begins in the Dark Age, where very few buildings and units are available. After a short time when requirements are met, the user gains the ability to advance their civilization beginning with the Feudal Age, where more upgrades, buildings, and units become available. The next age is the Castle Age, in which the powerful Castle may be built, and used to produce powerful units including the unique unit of each civilization. Finally, the user can reach the Imperial Age, which is reminiscent of the early years of the Renaissance. Once the user has reached the Imperial Age, they gain access to all the upgrades, units, and buildings that may be built and researched for their specific civilization. The player directly controls Villagers, which are the most important economic unit in the game. The player has the power to order them to move or attack (all units except for Trade Carts, Transport Ships and Trade Cogs), construct new buildings, gather necessary resources (Villager units), and perform a range of other tasks, such as repair damaged buildings or garrison inside Castle or Town Center for safety.

Scientists use Age of Empires 2 to investigate how ants wage war
We often hear that videogames can have a positive impact upon the world, but this is the first time I've seen somebody use one - an antique strategy sim, no less - to advocate for appropriately balancing the level design of your front lawn so as to stop indigenous insects being overrun by smaller invading species. The scientific research paper in question - uploaded in August this year, and brought to my attention by RPS contributor and apparent ant enthusiast Matt Cox - sees researchers Samuel J. Lymbery, Bruce L. Webber and Raphael K. Didham use Age of Empires 2 to study how human shaping of the environment affects the balance of power between the indigenous Australian "meat ant", or Iridomyrmex purpureus, and the Argentine ant, or Linepithema humile, who are one of the world's more invasive ant species.

Regarding the Lunar New Year Sale Discount
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4457527/63e3feda73888e78d1f1f373596a2d6db7beabfb.png Greetings, Age fans! Some eagle-eyed users noticed that Age of Empires II: HD Edition was discounted during the ongoing Lunar New Year sale for 75% off. Age of Empires II: HD Edition was mistakenly discounted while Age of Empires: Definitive Edition was missing its discount entirely. Over the weekend, this discount was removed, and the same discount was applied to Age of Empires: Definitive Edition. If you're looking for the latest entry in the Age of Empires II library, check out Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/813780/Age_of_Empires_II_Definitive_Edition/ Thank you for your patience, and apologies for the miscommunication!
This mod adds a Doom campaign to Age of Empires 2
Everyone likes Age of Empires 2. Everyone likes the original Doom. So why not package these two wonderful old games together into one clicky, sticky experience? That's at least the reasoning behind Age of Doom, an Age of Empires 2 mod that pulls in artwork, sounds, and more from the Doom series to create an all new Doom-flavoured campaign for Age of Empires 2. Age of Doom is basically a Diablo-style isometric shooter. The sound effects and sprites are all drawn from the original Doom games, but there are sound clips included in the campaign from later in the series. The campaign includes four episodes, plus a tutorial mission. Modder Hellknight61 says a final episode, called 'Hellhole Teleportation Portal Gate' is still in the works. You can swap weapons and shift tactics using Age of Empires II's chat panel - it's kind of genius. You'll start out in the ruins of an ancient human civilisation discovered on Mars, eventually making your way to a UAC corporation base that's been invaded, as they inevitably all are, by a horde of demons. After that, you'll have to travel to the moons of Phobos and Deimos to shut down the hell portals there. Read the rest of the story...

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Age of Empires II recaptures its status as a classic with an HD remake filled to the brim with content. With eight campaigns, a robust multiplayer, Steam Workshop integration for modders and a map editor, strategy fans will find that Age of Empires II HD is definitely worth the price of admission. »
« Do you want a modern RTS with an absurd amount of polish and visuals that make you feel justified in purchasing that high-end gaming rig? Well, you’ll want to look elsewhere. In fact, I hear StarCraft II’s new expansion is pretty great. But if you want to relive the glory days of when the RTS was first coming into its own as a genre (with a glorious palette of pixel art), then you can’t do much better than Age of Empires II: HD Edition. »
« Instead, the re-release should be considered by anyone with an itch to revisit the well-loved game or anyone looking for a new and entertaining strategy title at a reasonably low price. »
« AoE2 is an RTS with classic sensibilities, and it can be daunting for those used to simpler, more focused, and more modern RTS games. It will chew you up and spit you out if you aren’t careful. »
« While a little frustrating if you’re not into tons of micro-management, Age of Empires II HD with the Workshop and updated multiplayer features is an excellent title. The brilliance of the game’s design is still there, you just might need to look past it’s age to see it. »
« Ironically, the best part of this Age of Empire II: HD Edition has little to do with the HD resolution, and way more to do with the Steam features. Steam Workshop and the online matchmaking are the true additions to this game that still is as good as we remember. »
« Quotation forthcoming. »
« All in all, the combat and gameplay is unchanged, and I’m OK with that. Even in a world of beautiful advanced RTS titles like Starcraft II the game holds up remarkably well. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Um bom remaster de um bom jogo, nada a acrescentar além do que já foi dito na review do título clássico. »
« Super opuse de la franchise du jeu Age Of Empire; Sur PC à l'époque. HAHAHA »
« Age Of Empires II is a straight Good game. It stands the test of time and continues to be more than worth the asking price today. »
« Nice Game. Would love to play again in future. Good Graphics and mechanics!!! »
« Es el juego por excelencia de este estilo que más he jugado y disfrutado en partidas con colegas. »
« Good game , i enjoy playing this RTS with friends . I'm just playing this for nostalgia ! btw , each and every moment is enjoyable in this game and i love all AoE2 editions :old, HD , DE . all are amazing »
« Some of the gameplay mechanics give away the game's age, but when it comes to RTS games, AoE II is still my favourite. I have come to prefer the definitive edition, but I did have a lot of fun with this "HD edition". »
« The original AoE2 should be considered the grandfather of all RTS games. This one is no different. Grapihcally overhauled, minor bugs were fixed (finally), gotten mod support and Steam intergration, QoL changed made its way into the game and you're looking at a complete AoE2 experience.. BUT BETTER! »
