About

Age of Empires II: The Conquerors Expansion is the official add-on to the
award-winning, best-selling real-time strategy game Age of Empires II:
The Age of Kings.

Focusing on legendary leaders, The Conquerors will challenge veterans and
novices to wage war on an epic scale with all-new civilizations, unique
units and technologies, and campaigns based on infamous conquerors such as
Attila the Hun, El Cid and Montezuma.

Age of Empires II: The Conquerors Expansion is being developed by Ensemble
Studios and features the expertise of Bruce Shelley, co-designer of Age of
Empires.

In addition to the 13 civilizations available in Age of Empires II, The
Conquerors adds five additional civilizations to choose and command,
including the Hun, Aztec, Mayan, Korean and Spanish. Each civilization has
unique attributes, buildings and technologies, as well as a unique combat
unit based on its historical counterpart.

The four new campaigns focus on historical figures such as Attila the Hun,
El Cid and Montezuma, allowing players to ride alongside the Hun invasion
of Europe, battle the Moors in Spain, preside over the siege of
Tenochtitlan, or relive eight other battles that became turning points in
history, such as Agincourt, Manzikert and Hastings, with such conquerors
as Henry V, Yi Sun-shin and Erik the Red.

New units include the Hussar cavalry unit, the halbedier infantry unit,
the turtle boat, and the petard, an explosive kamikaze siege unit. Among
the unique combat units are the Aztec Jaguar Man, Mayan Plumed Archer,
Spanish Conquistador and Hun Tarkan.

While the standard technology tree boasts more than 100 nodes, players now
can opt for additional technologies such as caravans, herbal medicine, the
thumb ring, heresy, bloodlines and theocracy. In addition, each
civilization will have access to new unique technology, such as Chinese
Rocketry, Japanese Kataparuto, British Yeomen and Persian Mahouts.

Players can invigorate their gameplay and experience a world beyond
Deathmatch with compelling new games such as Defend the Wonder, King of
the Hill and Wonder Race.

To make gameplay more varied and competitive, several new maps have been
added, including the dense rainforests of Yucatan and the frozen waters of
Ghost Lake. All-new Real-World Maps allow players to re-create classic
conflicts in geographic areas such as Italy and Japan.

Players can queue farms so they automatically replant after all the crops
have been gathered.

Ships move in formation, just like land units.

Units can garrison inside Battering, Capped and Siege Rams for protection
and to increase the ram's speed and attack.

Villagers work smarter, build walls more intelligently and automatically
gather resources after constructing a drop-off building.

Players can use chat commands to order allied computer players to attack,
pay tribute by offering resources, and build an economy or military.

Internet play for up to eight players via Zone.com, over a LAN or modem to
modem.
