Age of Empires Online will be available worldwide August 16th, 2011 in retail stores and online at www.ageofempiresonline.com. Age of Empires Online will feature the standard gameplay of past games in the series,
with the addition of a persistent city that functions when the player is offline, cooperative multiplayer quests, and trading. This game will be blending the real-time strategy (RTS) genre with massively multiplayer online gaming. With its launch, the game will feature two of the greatest ancient civilizations – the Greeks and Egyptians – and offer more than 40 hours of gameplay for free!
The fate of an empire is in your hands, and from your Capital City you will strengthen your economy, improve your technologies, and embark on quests to expand your influence across the Mediterranean. Custom-design your Capital City as it grows into a center for civilization.
To expand your empire, you'll establish settlements across the world. You can choose from various buildings to help you get a foothold in foreign lands, and you can select from many types of units to gather your resources, defend your territories, and defeat your enemies. I can't wait to play age of empire online, how about you?
