Q: How many CDs do I need for multiplayer games?Ī: You need one CD for three players, two CDs for six players and three CDs for eight players. I have not tried to run the game under Wine because it uses so many DirectX functions, it may be hard to make it work. There are no plans for a Linux version either. Q: I was wondering if the demo out right now is available for Mac anywhere?Ī MacIntosh version has been released during summer 1999 go to this page for more information. Is AOE supported on Microsoft's Internet Gaming Zone?Īre the different cultures going to have different imagesįor the people? From what I've seen the building are different but the people only vary in colour.Ī: The people look the same for all tribes, but you cannot get all types of units with a tribe. For 800 x 600, a 15 inch screen does the job. However, if you want to play at 1024 x 768, you will not only need a P133 with a fast graphics adapter, but also a 17 inch screen. Q: What are the "real" system requirements?Ī: Pretty much as stated in the system requirements section. For instance, the high armor of Phalanx units does not help them against arrows, so they can be taken down by Horse Archers. For instance, you can have your Cavalry chase Archers and Villagers while your Phalanx protects your Catapult.Ī: Better than any other game I have seen so far. You can still set up a certain formation and divide your host in different groups. Because the number of units is not very high, different tactics are more effective. Will we see such and other classical military maneuvers in AoE?Ī: No, such maneuvers are not implemented. When one guy in the front row died, other spears would quickly fill the gap. Q: 2500 years ago, Phalanxes ruled the battlefield. With the patch, the unit cap can be changed. Read Bruce Shelley's statement about the 50 unit cap for more information. However, the number of towers and other buildings is unlimited. The limit does not allow you to build more than 50 villagers and military units. I think it enhances the gameplay since it prevents rush strategies. Or Q: Is the 50 unit cap an addition to the gameplay or an annoying restriction?Ī: This is one of the most debated questions.
I have DirectX 5.0 installed, what do I have to do?ĭownload DirectPlay 5.0a. Q: I get the error message "DirectX 5.0a required" when installing the patch.
