Finish Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome

Three Native American civilisations, war chiefs and fire pits; the first Age III expansion.

China, Japan and India, each winning by building a wonder rather than collecting one.

Attila, Montezuma and El Cid; the expansion the competitive scene still plays.

Gunpowder, home cities and the colonial era; the awkward middle child of the series.

Thirteen civilisations from the Dark Age to the Imperial Age; still played competitively.

The 1997 original: twelve ancient civilisations, from the Stone Age to the Iron Age.

The 2021 return of the medieval RTS with documentary campaigns.

The expansion adds the Atlanteans and the titan you spend the whole game trying to release.
