Tutonic knights may be slow but they can take down a castle by themselves. I don't like the Elephants at all, they're way too slow.

I might be getting it. Can't decide if it's worth £15 for a retex plus steam support for a game I already own...

Just asking, do any of you know how I can fix the water in my copy of the original? It's bright pink and looks an absolute mess. I imagine it's due to compatibility issues...

Yeah, it's probably some kind of incompatibility with new Windows versions.

Didn't check it, but you could try some of these solutions:

There's a thing I use that replaces the .exe. I don't know how it works but it does.

I love this game. First game I ever played IIRC.

Ive been stealing SotK's PC to play it on Steam of late. :P

Such a good game. 0AD started out as a mod team for it, you know.  :)

I thought 0 A.D. was originally modding AoM. The more you know...

The core of them are from AoK I think, but certainly some are from AoM :) .

SotK and I have been playing this together the last few nights.
We're planning a Let's Play (series?) of it. :D

Awesome! Are you using the African kingdoms expac? I don't have it and just wondering if the new civs change the game at all? To me the aztecs did because they added civs with a significant penalty (no cav) but were strong in other areas and the slavs didn't really as they just added more of the same types already present in the game.

We don't have any of the DLC yet :(


We tried on hard mode yesterday (SotK, my brother and myself, against 3 AI's). We got demolished. xD
