What's the best AoE game?

[Jonny]

So, what do you thank the best Age of Empires game is? My vote goes for The Conquerors.

Age of Kings, is that AoE II or is it an expansion pack I dont know about...Wondering about it, why is AoE II not just an expansion pack since there's no big difference between the first one. The only difference I have noticed as I played it (1 week) is the graphics

Age of Kings is Age of Empires II. The conquerors is an expansion pack for Age of Empires II. There is one big thing that AoE I didn't have: Castles!!! I just love the sound of arrows firing at my enemies in the morning.

Never played AoK w/ conquerers so it would be wrong to vote for it.

I didn't notice that, but how could I, I only had the game for 1 week, and only played one game, but then I guess I will vote for AoE II, since it is a little bit better than AoE, but nothing to really talk about (and I haven't played the expansion to AoE II)

I have played both AoK and AoK:tC, but I think I prefer it without the expansion... It has some cool features like farm queues and intelligent villagers, but I haven't played it enough to like it more than plainold AoK.

Once you get used to the civilizations in The Conquerors, you will probably like the Conquerors.

Huns: no more building houses!
Spanish: mounted gunpowder units!
Koreans: Turtle Ships!
