Default age of empires

This has nothing to do with water .. but has anyone ever played age of Empires..and have you tried the new version-age of cynics ...or whatever its called? I have been a fan of the game for years and was wondering if the new game is any good.

I like the game....except I haven't beaten the 3 computer tag team on hardest. 1 or 2...okay, but 3 is just insane. What's your favourite army ?

Great Game!
I have only played the downloadable demo though :?
Don't have the funds to spring for a $70 computer game, The reef call is more inportant

In age of empires I like the turks. I usually play against 3 computer opponents on moderate. I have taken out 4 on hard but it takes quite a while...and If I sit at my computer too long..well my girl starts adding thing to my to do list. I was hoping to get it for xmas, but we'll see...I might have to break down and buy it....

I like the game but I can't swallow the cost of $70.00 when the engine of the game is identical to Age Of Empires. The only difference is the characters and what they do. This is why people burn CD's cause the manufactures always scam us. $10.00 says in 4 - 6 months an add-on comes out for $49.99 that adds 2 new races and a new agility to each other race.

What I would really like is a turn based strategy game. When I was in high school I used to do war gaming with Napoleonic characters. This was cool and fun. Now all games are based upon actual events and you can't really change the sequence very well. If I ever make some money I will bring togther some programmers to make better games - less graphics more game.

PS - if anyone can suggest a cool game please let me know.

Cheers,
