Age of Empires 3

[Nick the DSM]

For years I have played a computer game series called Age of Empires which is a strategy game. The series is really accurate in history and i actually passed history tests because of these games.

anyways, the third installment is in the period of exploration to the 1800's. this one features highlanders as a special unit and mercenaries. the special unit is the legendary black watch and the mercenaries are just highlanders.

In game wise...these guys kick serious rump.

this game is a couple years old and is still quite fun.

I love that game! And even though it's kinda old, it still lags a bit on my laptop...awesome graphics.

yeah, i gotta up my graphic on my computer... if it can handle it.

it lags on my computer too, well just during the battle after awhile.

I've been an avid "player" of AOE II. Hmmmm??? I guess I'll have to get III (yes, I know . . I'm WAY behind ).

Don't feel bad, I still play that too... it's a classic.

Is it a stand alone or an online game?

[macneighill]

Well, I just tried out the trial version. I like it .

From their website (click here), it states you can play either.

Is it a stand alone or an online game?

Both!

I love all of the AOE series, including Age of Mythology...I just wish you could do Celtic mythology!
