Age of Empires Online is much more complex and a "real AOE" game then you might think when you start. Great that it's free as well.

What is Age of Empires?

Age of Empires is an epic real-time strategy game spanning 10,000 years, in which players are the guiding spirit in the evolution of small stone age tribes. Starting with minimal resources, players are challenged to build their tribes into great civilizations.

Gamers can choose from one of several ways to win the game, including: world domination by conquering enemy civilizations, exploration of the known world and economic victory through the accumulation of wealth.

The game series includes:

  • Age of Empires (1997)
  • Age of Empires II (1999)
  • Age of Empires III (2005)
  • Age of Empires Online (2011)
  • Age of Empires: Definitive Edition(2019).
