Game: Age Of Empires
Age of empires is a RTS game where you have to build a city that collects resources. You use these resources to create an army to conquer the map from other players.
What is fun about AoE?
The fun part at the start of age of empires is the progress in developing your city and units. Later in the game it’s fun to hinder the resource income of your enemy. In the end of the game it’s fun to have big tactical battles with other players with a rock paper scissor mechanism.
Another fun part of the game is the teamplay. You can team up with other players and help them in collecting resources or making a big army.
Rock paper scissors
A fun part of the game is the rock paper scissors mechanism. Certain units are stronger against certain type of units. For example: Horses are good against bowmen, but are bad against speared infantry units. However, the infantry units are bad against arrows. So to take the maximum out of your units, you have to combine them when doing an attack on the enemy. This makes the game very tactical.
Team battles
When you play with multiple people, you can have team battles. Online, a lot of players play 3v3 matches. In these matches, the team members have certain roles in the team. Most of the times at the start of the game, 1 person focusses totally on gathering resources. By doing this, the other players could focus more on building an army. The civilizations that you pick at the beginning of the game also have influence on the composition of the team. Some teams are good at the start of the game and some at the end. A lot of times while playing 3v3, one of the teammembers has a support role.
