The hero unit, The Flying Dutchman was a sorta real ship. It was going to Asia when it hit the Cape of Good Hope (think thats the name) at the south tip of Africa it disappered and people say they saw it and called it the Flying Dutchman, just a little history part.

Hehe, I remember hearing about that on the History Channel. It is supposed to be a "ghost ship".
Creepy........

Ghost ship, eh? *strokes chin* ...how strange. And yes, it is the Cape of Good Hope. So you designed AoK, now? how interesting. Anyho, i'll blow this popsicle stand. PH calls!

Welcome back, Park, even though not many people stay here for a long time except we faithful Age 1 players.
Have you got AOK:TC yet? I have.

I've got the TC. It kicks ass man. I love it. That villie AI saves so much time. It will revolutionize strats. I love playing as the Huns too, because no houses to build! Ahh even more time saved.

Darius, I TOTALLY agree with you. The Huns are my favorite, and became my favorite on the first day! No houses! Ever! No more worrying about more wood for houses, no more aggravating "you need to build more houses" messages, just crank out what you want, whenever you want! And that tarkan looks cool.
I also love the snow, ice, and jungle. Plus the new buildings look awesome. What more could anyone have included in an expansion pack?
Just one problem- those elephants leave tiny, pinhole size tracks in the snow.
Phoenix, is your mouth drooling by now? It's a bummer TC doesn't come out in India yet... maybe, at a later date, you could ask an ES person to do something about it. Send you a copy? They probably have ample copies of TC.

I know, I play TC all day and never get tired. Usually my head hurts from too much TV or computer but when I play TC for six hours it doesn't.
My favorite so far is King of The Hill Ghost Lake. My favorite campaign is a half-half between El Cid and Attila the Hun.
