As the headline says, Age of Empires Online is now available on Steam. The free-to-play massively multiplayer RTS lets you build your own civilization using the Celts, Egyptians, Persian and Greek empires.
Every time you are victorious in battle, you can expand your capital city, and in the process unlock bonuses for troops, as well as new units that you can use in future battles.
While Age Of Empires Online is free-to-play, there are options for players to pay for extra content. Players can buy new factions and game modes, but there is no option to purchase XP boosts – those have to be earned.
All of the civilisation packs are now half price on Steam, and prospective customers can buy them for $4.99 (R39) each.
Of course, you don’t have to spend a cent to play the game completely, which is now available on Steam for free.
Ah it’s good to see AOE getting a bit of coverage 🙂 I’m still addicted, just got the Celt civ and it stunning!
