@Vlad: Yeah, Turks had the Janissaries, the gunpowder units. Saracens had the Marmelukes.
The games are somewhat similar to EE, but also very different. In EE I found that it took a very long time to build up a significant number of troops, and those troops would die annoyingly fast in an actual battle.
I need to download AoEII one of these days. I stupidly sold my copy to a friend years ago, and now I need it so I can install the expansion on my PC.
