Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings is a real-time strategy computer game set in the Middle Ages. It was released in 1999, and it is the second game of the Age of Empires series developed by Ensemble Studios and published by Microsoft. Because of its commercial success, an expansion pack was released: Age of Empires II: The Conquerors Expansion, followed by a Gold Edition, which bundled together the game and its expansion, and a true sequel, Age of Empires III.
Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings is sometimes called Age of Kings, or abbreviated as AoK, AOE2, or AOE II.

Versus Computer[ | ]
While playing against the computer (not in campaign), the computer does not attack or will attack with a very small army if you don't build any military buildings. So first build your economy, and then build castles which will protect you from attack due to military building (castle). Then, build other military buildings.
If the computer attacks when you don't have any military buildings, the attack will be so weak that you can still survive simply by gathering villagers in the town centre.
