Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition (v101.103)
Want to play Age of Empires 2 on PC again without the hassle of installing? This legendary RTS now has a Definitive Edition that looks far better. It is a remake, so the graphics are no longer pixelated. I have prepared the pre-installed version below, so you just extract and play.
Forgotten Empires reworked the graphics to support 4K, including a soundtrack re-recorded with an orchestra, so the audio feels more HD. Unit effects and animations were also updated. Smoother, better looking, and no longer stiff. Lastly, the pathfinding AI was overhauled too, so enemies no longer get stuck.
The latest DLC, The Viking Sagas, adds three new civilizations. It brings the Dane and Saxon plus Varangian. On top of that there are 15 new campaign scenarios too, one of them the story of Harald Hardrada.
If you want an RTS with a bigger scale and modern graphics, Age of Empires IV Anniversary Edition is worth trying too. I really recommend AOE 4. Or if not, Stronghold Crusader is pure nostalgia.
