Who knows how to play Age of Empires II

[FreeTalkLive]

I play it all of the time but never online.

In the very beginning, use your scout to gather sheep. When it comes to gathering food: sheep, hunting, berries, fishing, and and farming in that order. Farm last because farming also takes up wood (which is useful to build buildings, trade caravans (if you have any allies), ships and some units.

All of the civilizations are ok to play with. Some people really like the British as they have longbowmen. I like the Persians because the elephants destroy computer opponents but they likely wouldn't work so well against a human opponent.
