Beware, however, that if you choose to take on an elephant, you better have a bunch of hunters or the irate elephant may decide to trample you instead.
You can build farms, fish, forage for berries or-my favorite-gather a hunting party and seek out prey. Instead of mining gold to support your society (although you DO have to mine gold), food is a separate issue unto itself. Some of the more memorable features that make this game truly enjoyable include hunting and foraging for food, building and upgrading armies, establishing and strengthening a society and, ultimately, fighting war.įood gathering is one part of Age of Empires that is truly impressive. Age of Empires combines great graphics, real-time strategy and an intriguing plot (our own history!) to raise a phoenix from the ashes of wayside, ordinary strategy games.
