Even if another game happens to get a higher score this year, Age of Kings will still get my vote because it has staying power and I cannot say that for too many games these days. Don’t get me wrong, I love this game and it already has my vote for Game of the Year. It is not a totally new idea with groundbreaking creativity and originality. The only reason I did not give this game 100 out of 100, as great as it is, is that it is a sequel. Below is the list of each civilization and the unique unit that they have. The unique unit’s special skills give you an edge, so build your castle as soon as you can and beat your opponent to the punch. To be able to build your unique units you must get to Castle Age and build a castle.
A random map is always good for some skill building and pure 'Kingdom Building/Kingdom Bashing.' There are 13 civilizations to choose from and each has one unique unit that can only be built by that civilization (with the exception of the Vikings who have two unique units). They are ranked and increase in difficulty level as you move on to the next scenario and on to the next level. Each of these will give even the most experienced players a run for their money, especially if played on the most difficult settings. The Joan of Arc, Saladin, Genghis Khan, and Barbarossa campaigns each have six scenarios. There are five campaign levels: The William Wallace learning campaign has seven scenarios.
The campaigns are based on historical people and events. It begins in the Dark Ages after the fall of Rome and progresses through the Feudal Age, Castle Age, and - if you live long enough to spend the resources - Imperial Age.
Age of Kings starts where Age of Empires Expansion: Rise of Rome leaves off.
