Age of Empires requires the player to develop a civilization from a handful of hunter-gatherers to an expansive Iron Age empire. To assure victory, the player must gather resources in order to pay for new units, buildings and more advanced technology.
With a view to the future of the game, Game-Revolution emphasized the scenario editor, which "allows you total control in the design of scenarios and campaigns", a "tool at your disposal to create a scenario exactly to your liking."

SBS Empires Series - The Roman Empire
Narrated by Sigourney Weaver, Released 2002
Two thousand years ago, at the dawn of the first century, the world was ruled by Rome. The Roman Empire struggled with problems which are surprisingly familiar: violent coups, assassinations, overarching ambition, civil war, clashes between the classes as well as the sexes, and questions of personal freedom versus government control. But from the chaos, the Roman Empire would emerge stronger and more dazzling than before. Soon, it would stretch from Britain accross Europe to the shores of North Africa: and from Spain accross Greece and the Middle East to the Borders of Asia. It would embrace hundreds of languages and religions and till its many cultures into a rich soil from which Western Civilisation would grow. Rome would become the worlds first and most enduring superpower.

Some 2,000 years ago, the Romans created one of the biggest and bestorganized empires the world has ever seen. Throughout their lands, they built towns and roads, and spread their way of life. In far corners of the empire, people dressed in Roman clothes, used the same coins, and worshipped Roman gods.

Travelling back in time to one of the most glorious empires in history, this six-part series presents the complete history of Rome, from its primitive beginnings, to the height of its glory to its eventual decline, as well as its legacies today.
