Why does Sony fail at making another mega franchise?

Cool. I tried out Age of Empires at release but never owned it (until much later).

I started Age 2 in Jan 2000, so only a couple months after release.

Longbowmen are a sweet unit. I think my favorite civ all time is the Chinese. I also love the Teuts because they're versatile when you play DM (lol) and similar modes.

When I first started AoE II the Teutons and their Knights were my favourite. Used to quickly build a group of Knights and send them with a few trebuchets and the amount of damage that'd cause was suprising at times. Then I found out I could get to the final age faster with the Byzantines and they had a whole host of cheaper units to deal with the pesky longbowman!

I also really liked the Koreans in the Conq's too. Expensive and slow to build up, but a strategy mixing Onagers with War wagons used to decimate everyone.

Teutons were banned before the first patch though (only known super noobs were allowed to choose the Toots  ) . I think their TC arrow range was bigger than the range of Castles.

Koreans, the triumph card in Death Match.

Byz plain sucked lol.
