In addition to new units, the in-game upgrade lines have been extended to provide more unit choices. Micromanagement is made easier, by an improved scripted Artificial Intelligence of villagers and siege weapons. Villagers will now automatically commence gathering resources if they build resource gathering sites. Wall construction has also been improved: when assigning two or more villagers, they evenly spread out instead of working on the same patch, and when multiple farmers are sent on one farm, the surplus will start cultivating adjacent farms instead of idling.
Mangonels and onagers will not automatically fire if their attack is likely to harm friendly units. Additionally, a button was added to the mill, which would allow farms to be paid for in advance, so that when an existing one was exhausted, it would automatically be replanted. Chat commands are introduced, in order to communicate more effectively with allied computer players.
The Conquerors adds four additional single player campaigns. Building on the Age of Kings, the game features five new civs, new expansions, gameplays and technologies. Overall, the graphics are the same as in AoK. The new gameplay features introduced in Aoe2 The Conquerors include game modes such as defend the wonder, where players must dedicate the entire game defending a wonder for a certain time period. Wonder race is another game mode, which involves building a wonder before your opponent completes his — wonders can be destroyed before they are completed, thus making the game hard for both sides.
New maps in the game include more real-life maps, based on actual locations found on earth. Additionally, tropical and winter areas jungle and snow respectively was a key missing map terrain in Age of Kings. This was introduced in this new expansion. Antony Peel. Software languages.

Updated Over a year ago. Last revision More than a year ago. That's largely because you are not permitted to build in the immediate vicinity of the monument, so you can't simply capture it and wall it off. The other two new games seem to have been designed for those who love resource management and those who don't. Wonder Race does away with combat altogether, and has everybody living in peace and harmony.
Well, almost. There's still something of a competitive spirit among neighbouring civilisations as they race to be the first to build a wonder and win the game. It's all about how quickly you can gather those resources and how well you spend them. If you're an aficionado of big battles and the Wonder Race game sounds as if it will bore you to tears, then Defend The Wonder was made for you. In this game variation every civilisation begins in the Imperial Age, and all with a ton of resources to encourage rapid build up of forces.
One player though, begins in a walled-off area with a wonder at the centre, and has to protect it for years. Meanwhile, the other players are doing their level best to get together some heavy siege machinery with which to break in and spoil the party. Because of the high-tech level everybody starts at and the lack of any need to research advanced weaponry, this game type makes for some truly spectacular battle sequences. So, you can see that there are a lot of clearly visible additions packed into Conquerors.
What is likely to really make a long-term difference to extending the life of AOK are the improvements that have been made under the bonnet. There are 16 major areas of improvement over the gameplay and features in AOK. Some of the improvements demonstrate Ensemble Studios' commitment to playing its own games to destruction and ironing out the wrinkles. For example, let's take the situation in which you have grouped together infantry with a heavy weapons platform.
How often have you watched in horror when, on first encountering an enemy group, your HWP stupidly joins in the action, wiping out half your own infantry with friendly fire.
In Conquerors, siege weapons like Mangonels will hold their fire if they are likely to injure your own troops. Speaking of sieges, these become both more realistic and more complex. You can now garrison foot soldiers inside battering rams, which has the dual benefit of giving the ram more oomph and providing your troops with protection during the approach to an enemy wall.
There are some interesting additions to the resource management side of things too. Now, when a villager has finished constructing a building, instead of idly standing around watching everybody else working, he'll set off and perform an action appropriate to that building. So, in AOK you might have set a villager to work chopping trees and subsequently had another villager building a Lumber Camp.
