What if they made AOE 4 for the 360 or Wii. I mean, they did with Civilization 5!

Building your own scenarios is a bit of work... because you have to put "triggers" in for the Computer to react to.

For example, you send your army to attack "X" and when it gets attacked - a "trigger" there forces the computer to start pumping out soliders. Another trigger at location "Y" may make the computer start an advance to attack your armies (if you've given him an army to atack with )

There are basically two builders - the Multiplayer Builder and the Scenario Builder. It sounds like you built the Multiplayer Builder (which then you have to play the map in Multiplayer Mode for the computer to use the map - otherwise the towns will just sit "empty"). You can play these and the computer will use them if you play the maps in Multiplayer (just choose all computer players - and make sure each as a Town Centre, enough food, wood, stone and gold to start with and three Villagers so he can get working).

Im building with the standard screnerio editor and P.S is there any guides on this

[Blacksmoke81]

ya i have all 3 kinda play online and its fun and detailed

[EdwardTeach]

Is it possible to make a campaign with a cutscene in the editor?

[League]

Probably: I've seen quite the scenarios on ESO. You could practically make a movie if you wanted to.

[EdwardTeach]

but how do you make one?

[Commandero2468]

I personally like Rise of Nations better than Age of Empires

EE2 also has the space "water," cheesily done as well. Some of the stuff in the future though was cool, like the secret police (can't recall if that was specific to a campaign, or in the first EE).

Thinking of the space has brought to mind an interesting idea: what if you played on a globe? The standard sky view would apply, though the thing would rotate: it'd b the only true effective way to get space items in there. Still, we're talking about Age of Empires, which, being realistic, only delves in what has already happened (and not in what probably won't).

Hey Teach, I can PM you my brother's account name if you want. You could play each other sometime.

Sure! That will be great!

[Ebenezer]

Age of Empires is great! I still play all three, though rarely online. Empires Earth was ok, tried it a few times. Have any of you checked out 0AD?

[League]

I sure haven't. What it tis?

[EdwardTeach]

Its a historical strategy game with campaigns, multiplayer, skirmish, and city costomization. Google it!

[Hebe12]

I own the second and third and love them. I have never played the first.
But I like Age of Mythology the most!
