Multiplayer vs. The Computer

Multiplayer vs. The Computer


As I earlier stated, Age of Empires II: The Conquerors is meant to be a multiplayer game, as that's when it's most challenging and most rewarding. The differences between the computer and a human opponent are gigantic, the computer will often send weak attacks and not build up an army until 15 minutes in the game. A human opponent will attack you 3 minutes into the game, will raid your economy, steal your resources, and generally scheme with his allies to attempt a massive double team. The computer rarely does this, so if you are looking for optimal challenge and fun, online play is inevitable.
