Age of Empires is back with a vengeance in a new online mode that stays true to its classic unchanged gameplay in spite of including many new features and requiring permanent Internet connection to play. All this comes with a facelift in their look and humor, breaking with the standard pattern of the series.
Again, this is a title that may divide. Ideally, this exclusively online playable episode in a series of the most popular RTS of all time is free. Basically, you can totally go through the game, reaching the maximum level (40 currently), participate in PvP games, complete quests, all without paying anything. The small difference with most other MMO based strategy is that with Age of Empires Online, the term macro rather than micro transactions.
In Age of Empires Online time we leap backwards, back to the era of ancient Egypt and classical Greece. Unlike other deliveries, we will not continue a campaign centered on a historical figure and we will engage them in real battles that occurred throughout history. However, this time, when we will choose a civilization in the capital of our empire, which will be as our main base of operations. This title drinks a lot of massively multiplayer role playing online, which jumps to the eye since good start. As if our rule were a character in these games will start at level one and we go on missions we go ordering to gain experience points and power up.
Each level you go up will give us points that we invest in our main building in a tech tree that comes to represent the equivalent of the talent trees and abilities in other games. Here you can choose what kind of improvements we want and what kind types of units, buildings or vehicles we build. This is something we must bear in mind our strategy to streamline and customize it to our type of game. The points which we invest to recover payment of a few gold coins in order to redistribute them again.
Also consumable items are new in this episode that helps us to equip our skill bar and function similarly to the divine powers of Age of Mythology. We will get benefits such as invoking several special units for a limited time to fight with us or to weaken the rival units. Age of Empires Online is a game to be discovered slowly leaving. During the first few hours we will be teaching the controls, various types of units, the different objectives that have to be met, and so on., So that the uninitiated in the genre will not have any kind of trouble learning to play.
Villagers with an exclamation point that we see in our city or anywhere else we visit us will be responsible for the missions, as a rule you follow a weak story line for a little context and probably we ignore at their lack of interest real. Run in addition to experience points reward us by giving us pieces of equipment to improve our units and buildings, materials to build new things with the professions in which we specialize we wanted (we can only choose two), or new types of units and technologies .
It is in these missions’ lies the real big gameplay that has made this saga, as each of them are like the screens of the campaigns of previous installments. We will be gathering resources and making improvements to create buildings and units to meet the objectives entrusted to us, which may vary from base to destroy a rival, to withstand a siege for a certain time or collect a certain amount of resources. They tend to be varied enough to not get bored and do not fall into monotony. The more we go along we go forward of age, allowing us to create more. For example, once we achieve the second age we can create farms will supply an endless supply of food, so we do not have to go hunting or looking for berries.
