text: are any of you found of age of empires 2 the conquerors? i'm very found of this game i'm an expert on it  but i didn't find someone to play with me on internet i started playing a few games starting with the age of empire series, because i was fascinated by the ability to move those little guys to cut trees, collect berries and mining.  the fighting part was ok, but it seems that it required speed, hot keys and just overwhelming opponents with number. i am playing total war rome now.  it is still fun.  even though i miss the little guys doing chores, i found the cinematic fighting scenes are much better.  it is like watching a movie.  the fighting technique is much different. give it a try and you might even find more people to play with on line.
