With the addition of the Conquerors expansion pack, those that enjoyed the original release are going to have enough new features to justify a purchase. This includes a new lineup of campaign levels, new civilizations, exciting and dynamic wildlife, revitalized tactics, a series of maps, additional game types, and much more.
The overall game play of Age of Empires II: Conquerors has not deviated from the path that has made this series so popular. Along with a number of traditional multiplayer games, such as king of the hill and team death match, players will also have a lineup of new campaign levels. What is surprising about this update is the fact that Conquerors nearly doubles the storyline of the original release, quite a feat for a smaller upgrade.
In addition to the added storyline, there is also a variety of new units, buildings, and even a number of new civilizations. Transitioning over to the New World, players will be able to choose the Aztecs and Mayans, both of which are designed to have a completely new technology tree and style of play. Other new civilizations include the Huns, the Koreans, and the Spanish. The maps have also been revitalized with highly aggressive animals and new graphics for gold veins, stone deposits, woods, plants, and fish.
For those who are fans of Age of Empires II and Age of Kings, every addition that was made with Conquerors has improved the overall quality of the game. This means providing a wealth of new options for game play that will help to draw back older players. For those who are unfamiliar with previous titles, the changes will seem miniscule, but as time goes on, they will generally become more and more appreciated.
It features five new civilizations the Aztecs, Mayans, Spanish, Koreans, and Huns , four new campaigns, eleven new units, twenty-six new technologies, new gameplay modes, new maps and different minor tweaks to the gameplay. A second expansion, the semi-official The Forgotten, was released exclusively on Steam in Fall , over a decade since the release of The Conquerors.
The Conquerors also introduced various new gameplay features and tweaks, including the new game modes Defend the Wonder, King of the Hill and Wonder Race. Additional maps, some based on real life geographic locations, and new winter and tropical terrain textures were included.
In-game, infantry are able to garrison in battering rams, protecting the infantry while increasing the ram's speed and attack, while ships are able to form formations for more effective fighting. The graphics are left unchanged, but new civilizations have been added such as the Spanish, Huns, Koreans, Mayans and Aztecs.
In addition to new units, the in-game upgrade lines have been extended to provide more unit choices. Micromanagement is made easier, by an improved scripted Artificial Intelligence of villagers and siege weapons. Villagers will now automatically commence gathering resources if they build resource gathering sites. Wall construction has also been improved: when assigning two or more villagers, they evenly spread out instead of working on the same patch, and when multiple farmers are sent on one farm, the surplus will start cultivating adjacent farms instead of idling.
