Wikipedia is not a strategy guide or instruction manual. Wikipedia articles should focus on the games themselves, not on how to play them; they should not contain tips, tricks, or cheat codes. That information is available elsewhere, in printed guides and online, and does not belong in an encyclopedia entry. Please do not add your own hints or opinions of the game. Verifiable content about the history, design, and overall description of the game is welcome. If you have questions about whether specific information should be added, ask here first.

Did the Persians lose their hunting penalty here or in a patch? Stilgar135 01:49, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

The Persians never had a hunting penalty, thay had a farming penalty and a hunting bonus. --TomasBat (@)(Sign) 18:45, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reception

I have played this game for years but the following stumps me: "The expansion did feature an option to play the original Age of Empires with or without the additional content. " I never came across any such option. I'm also surprised by the rest of the Reception section - some reviews actually state that the expansion was so studded with new stuff that it was almost a new game.

That's only if you use the original CD. Use the expansion cd for the updated one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.16.23.49 (talk) 15:41, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

It has been done. ~ G1ggy! _{Reply | Powderfinger!} 04:58, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

I noticed. Where would we be without AoEH? Floris V 12:35, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Macedonians or Hellene civilization?

In game are present Hellens, not Macedonians as it is mentioned in the article —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stefke (talk • contribs) 21:58, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

In my version it's Macedonians...although I heard about Hellens in a trial version? Dihydrogen Monoxide (H₂O) 01:01, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
