"Age has beautiful graphics, great sound, excellent terrain, a simple intuitive interface, and one of the best gaming values on the market: a nice, thick manual in the box. With the powerful scenario and campaign editor, an infinite number of battles can be arranged with the most intimate details of terrain, resources, and victory conditions."
