   • Alternatives to Combat
   • Players can improve the economy of their civilization through trade and diplomacy options.

A market-based economy gives new options for players to buy, sell, and speculate on resources.
2. Diverse Cultures
   • Gamers command one of 13 mighty civilizations. These include the Franks, Japanese, Byzantines, Vikings, Mongols and Celts civilizations. Each civilization has unique attributes, buildings and technologies as well as a unique combat unit based on its historical counterpart.

Additionally, the game also includes production queues, rally points, customizable hot-key system, as well as expanded rollover help.
4. Achieve Victory in Many Ways

   • Domination of enemy civilizations
   • Economic victory through accumulation of wealth
   • Building and defending wonders of the world
5. Choose a Technology Path
   • Age of Empires II lets gamers choose from numerous technological paths to help lead their civilization to greatness. From an economic path of farming and craftsmanship to a military route of siege and naval warfare, the game comes with a technology tree that has more than 100 nodes, larger than one player could possibly complete in just one game.
6. Experience Intense Single and Multiplayer Game Play
   • Story based campaigns focus on historical figures and their struggles like William Wallace, Joan of Arc, Genghis Khan, Barbarossa and Saladin bring the player much deeper into the game as they strive with the hero to victory.
   • A new expert system driven computer player with artificial intelligence providing a solitaire opponent who seems human.
   • Maps are larger which adds to the sense of exploration and allows more options for extended play particularly in multiplayer.
