Age of Empires is a real-time strategy video game based on classical history. The game was developed by Ensemble Studios and published by Microsoft.

About Age of Empires Sheets of ice up to three miles high covered much of the earth's northern hemisphere during the last Ice Age. Our human ancestors persevered in the harsh Ice Age environment by developing new technologies and survival strategies at unprecedented rates. When climate changes melted and removed the ice 12,000 years ago, humans were uniquely suited to take advantage of the new worlds that were beckoning. During the next 5,000 years - an significant span in terms of geological time - humans expanded to become the dominant species on earth. Human populations exploded because new technologies for hunting and food gathering put all other species at a disadvantage. Within 3,000 more years, humans had established the first great civilisation on earth. The theme of Age of Empires is the rise of the first great civilisations over the 12,000 years that followed the last Ice Age. You are the guiding spirit of a tribe that predates one of the great cultures of antiquity. Your goal is to build your tribe into a mighty civilisation that can vie for world (game) dominance (victory). The first campaign for this game is the Greek civilisation. #1 - Land Grab #2 - Citadel More of this classic game to come.
