Ah, real time strategy games – the grinder’s paradise. Cue micromanagement with 1998’s Age of Empires, or to be more specific, the Rise of Rome expansion pack.
This longplay follows a primitive civilisation which, under the control of Harry Yack, becomes the dominant force in Square Land. Hopefully. Part 1 documents the first steps towards this goal: collecting resources, researching technology and ultimately going out to battle. Haha, those fools won’t know what hit them!
DEFCONZayrow is currently doing an LP for the Age of Empires campaigns. In fact, it was exactly this that inspired me to re-visit the game for a series of longplay videos. Cheers!
