Age of Empires II, one of the incredible games and great classic of Ensemble Studios and distributed by Microsoft Games Studios, which shared history with different games of the time such as Warcraft, Starcraft, Dune, Empire Earth, among others. Those memories when you outdid all the campaigns and after some practice you easily defeated the Computer or Artificial Intelligence, believing you were a good player and realizing it after playing in the multiplayer was not as easy as you thought so we played and lost without possibilities... but well as I have already mentioned that this game was created by Ensemble Studios currently closed that created other strategy games like Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, Age of Mythology and Halo Wars.

In the video game we can control a number of different civilizations, build buildings and your army and fight with them against our enemies, among other things. The game was quite balanced in itself so it was quite balanced so it was quite used for the Competitive or Tournament Mode, where there are about 18 civilizations (With the expansion of Age of Empires II: The Conquerors), all these civilizations are different, and we will be in some quite fun games or campaigns, where we must win them by (Meet objectives in the campaign), the use of our military force to subjugate or dominate our enemy with the use of it or the construction of a marvel to impose ourselves as the strongest and richest civilization on the map.

As the Mongolian Empire was formed, The Struggle for the Independence of Scotland from the English, As Joan of Arc began the liberation of France from the English during the Hundred Years War, Attila's attempts to keep the Holy Roman Empire stable by Frederick Barbarossa, Attila's struggle for the power of the Huna tribune and the looting and domination of the Roman Empire, among a series of quite interesting campaigns that recreate important and historic moments of humanity.

Strategy games like this one give a high educational value because they explain these events in an entertaining way to learn easily, because they have a high historical fidelity to armies such as the English with their Long Shot Arcs (which were of Welsh origin), which were used to supply a smaller number of troops compared to the French during the Hundred Years War and all this was because the practice of Archery was mandatory due to the prohibition of all other sports except the one mentioned above.

The Teutons with their Knights of the Teutonic Order, who were German Crusaders who fought in the Mediterranean against Islam that had invaded the regions belonging to Christianity in previous years and then in Eastern Europe in East Prussia what would be today the northeast of Poland (Voivodeships or States of Podlaskie), and Varmia and Masuria) and the Kalinigrando Oblast of Russia (a region obtained by Russia after World War II), where they built a series of castles and implanted Christianity in this region of Europe and were knights committed to religion until the twentieth century where they became a single religious Order called the Brothers of the German House of St. Mary in Jerusalem.

The Vikings with their Dragon Ships and Berserkers, which were a dangerous combination in sea and land, because these ships entered shallow waters and their high speed, and allowed the entry of the same to the coasts, allowing the arrival of the Vikings to land to conquer (Several of these invasions were to Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, Russia, Italy, Germany, Ukraine, The Iberian Peninsula, Constantinople, among others.), among whom were the powerful bersekers, who went virtually mad in battle and felt alienated from all danger of battle, known for their ferocity in battle, their endurance in battle, and causing terror to their enemies.

And the Spaniards with their Conquistadors, Spanish Adventurers who were the sons of nobles, unemployed soldiers and mercenaries, all in search of land, wealth and power; which thanks to their firearms, steel swords, crossbows, cannons, spears and dogs made the Spaniards get a high advantage over the natives, due to the fear that the natives had of horses and dogs because they had never seen these animals, In Mexico, for example, the Spaniards obtained the support of the conquered tribes from the Mayans, Aztecs, and other American civilizations because they wanted to be free from the dominion of the former ones like the Zaques, Totonacas, Tlaxcaltecas, Otomies, Chalcas, Texcocanos, Huejotzingas, among others; the previous tribes were dominated by the Native Empires and were forced to pay tribute, a factor that caused them to join the Spaniards and bring down the Pre-Colonial Mexican Empires. And so a series of stories that each Age Of Empires II civilization, which with research and the game itself tells the story of the same.

Seeing the different strategies as tactics with towers or improving the troops to the maximum, and those that we can create or adapt to our style of play. Which we will carry out against our opponents although this will be seen mostly in multiplayer mode and remembering that not always quantity beats quality. This game as mentioned above gives the possibility to play with a variety of civilizations, where we will have results depending on our strategy and game mode against the enemy, but we will have a pretty fun multiplayer experience because we can play with friends and acquaintances, and the truth is a very educational and interesting game which is well worth trying if you have not already done so.
