*Good idea.
If we go for the "split into a new article" idea, I think we ''should'' go into the unit specifics. If the section should just be shrinked, I agree with Richard001 that we should just list only the basic info, like creation place (eg Barracks), and stats. Or just their names and creation point works too. ] 17:32, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure they're called "berserkers" in the game. If I'm wrong, I apologize. It occurred to me the second after I hit "save" that it was possible I wasn't correct. --Aranel 19:13, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Had to check myself, but they're actually called "berserks" in the game. I'll quickly revert :P -- Ferkelparade π 19:18, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

While adding the covers, I deleted the following ext. links since they directly point to gamefaqs files:

How about including cheats in the article? Chamaeleon 20:28, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Scenario Editor

I was slightly annoyed that no mention of the scenario editor was made, so I inserted a text myself. There is thriving online designer's page based in Age of King's Heaven. Though the game is difficult to modify and thus given a back seat to other mods and games, it makes up for this with its unique editor. This accessed in game, is fairly simple and user-friendly, and can be used to create a vast variety of scenartios. AoK custom campaigns are unique in gaming in that they can feature whole stories and complex plots. On their highest level they can even compete with real literature, which is something most official games can't even say. Those are few, however, and fewer than ten campaigns out of roughly 3000 have recieved perfect scores in the Age of Kings Heaven. I believe that the designing community outnumbers the gaming community nowadays.

EDIT - Let me just add to my fellow designers words (Oliver? Ana? Zyx?), the community is tight-knit and willing to accept everyone, so long as they keep their behavior respectable. ES has recognized many of our designs, and they seem to enjoy it some. We love our craft, and I'm sure that anyone who tries it and gets used to it will love it too. -SS

DS Version

Just a piece of opinion (since I've seen someone added the DS category), given the differences that can be spotted from the previews between the original and DS versions (the preview I've read AoK DS is a turn based game), it would be much more advisable to create a separate article, not a different section.

It appears that there's no section or page any longer, or if there is, I was unable to find it. --TCM (Talk) 13:37, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Michi

Why does Michi redirects to this article?

Because somebody apparently wrote an article about an AOK map called "Michi" and somebody else decided to redirect instead of delete the article. I agree that it's not a terribly useful redirect, especially since the Michi map is not even mentioned in the article (not that it should be mentioned :P ) - I'll bring this up at WP:RFD -- Ferkelparade π 10:04, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Request for cleaning up

This article is full of gamecruft, contains one-sentence-sections and is outdated at times (a release scheduled for February 14).SoothingR 07:24, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

zone history

theres a whole different aok game in zone and theres history of clans and stuff can i write a article about the history?

Article Tone

I think the tone of this article is a bit unencyclopedic. There is so much reference to the first Age of Empires and ways in which this one is better. I think the article should be rephrased since this is not a series comparison article. Anyone agree? Tutmosis 16:42, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

  • I'll take a stab at tidying this up in the next couple of days. I can see where I can do some work here and there. Having played the game for quite some time, I should be able to sort it out...--Tony Fox 05:56, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Historical Accuracy

How accurate are the history notes in the unique unit section? It looks to me like most of those notes came from the game manual, which may or may not be a credible source of historical information. I'll see if I can research this more.Gamer.g33k 22:08, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Removal of Cheat Codes section

As per this, I am removing the Cheat Codes section.--DethFromAbove 22:28, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Missing Wonder

I couldn't help but notice that in the Wonders section, the Britons are missing. Anyone care to fix this problem?--Knight45 20:03 19 July 2006

Never mind; read the section after.--Knight45 20:05 19 July 2006

Help

I found an Age of Empires II guide on Gamespot. The problem is, everytime I access a section in that guide, I don't see what I expect to see. All that I see is a blank page! Could someone please tell me how to fix this problem? After all, I really need a walkthrough for the campaign scenarios that I have never completed without cheating!

Hello! Could someone please answer my question?

Yeah, there are some pretty hard missions. I myself have never completed all the campaigns without cheating. Anyways, try to sign all your comments with 4 tildes. (~~~~) Russian F 04:32, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Article needs to be reduced in size

The units section is ridicously enourmous. From barracks to docks each unit is described, how about spitting such part into a new article. Another suggestion?

I also agree, and we should put the unit's specific weaknesses+Strengths.

  • I'd love that, but unfortunately if you try to make a units section for an RTS game on this site, it usually is deleted. I think it's stupid too, but I guess some people just insist on deleting those articles. Russian F 04:35, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

No Mention of Gold Edition?

There is no mention of Age of Empires II: Gold Edition. The Gold Edition contains both Age of Kings and The Conquerors Expansion. Anyone else agree that this should be mentioned somewhere? If so, where in the article? Cyberguy410 16:13, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Added, thanks for your input —shoecream 06:40, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Suicide bomber

Hey, the description of the Petard (Suicide bomber) unit says that it's only in the conquerors expansion. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this unit also used in a campaign mission and the scenario editer in regular AoK? Russian F 04:40, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

You may mean Saboteurs. These are basically Petards, but much more powerful, and in AoK. Petards are in the conquerors expansion. Nate 17:40, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
