Hello,
I am big fan of the original age of empires 1 but my CD has gone missing. I was looking at purchasing the UBISOFT Collectors Edition DVD as that seems to be the most widely available version of the game. Or is it better to get a different version - if so which & where from?
It includes AOE 1 and expansion and AOE 2 and expansion. Whilst this seems an unpopular opinion, I actually prefer playing AOE 1.
Anyway I have a few questions regarding this product or which is the best version of the game to buy. I plan to mostly play multiplayer LAN or virtual LAN over Internet.
I have heard rumours that If you patch DVD version it does not recognise the DVD and asks to insert cd? Is this correct can I patch with latest official patch (I think 1.0c?) or other mod patches such as HD patch etc without this problem occurring?
It is crucial that all players have same version patch for multiplayer to work.
I have also heard that soundtrack does not work if patch or something like that? Is this true?
Also can you play multiplayer with 1 DVD? Is this the case for both AOE 1 & 2?
Is there anything else I should know. I would appreciate any other helpful info.
Has anyone got this collectors version I am referring to?
Many thanks
