Age Of Empires Trial Version

Guest

I downloaded the trial version of AOE and cannot play the game. Is this a
real playable trial version or just a video? No matter what I do I cannot
influence any events in the trial version. I just sit helplessly by while the
enemy burns down my town. Where is the help file? If this is MS way of
selling me the game then they have failed. I would never buy a game that is
this unresponsive.

Sorry to hear that you're having problems with the demo. Let's try this ...
Uninstall what you have downloaded already please, and try this one instead:
Goto http://www.ageofempires3.com/ and click on the DEMO logo.

I went to that site and the video's of AOE are awesome. I will download that
demo version when I have time. As I have DSL it took 3 hours for me to
download the first one. Thanks. I will give it a try. It really looks like an
interesting game. I have never played AOE so it may be my fault that I am
having trouble.

I got it to work. The smoke trails from the muskets are amazing and so
detailed. It is entertaining. I just wish that I could have saved it. The
first sandbox game I have ever played and I did not know about the left click
/ right click command. Simple, but can the musket men be moved as a unit or
only one at a time?

Hi Patriot,

The problem with Demo versions of those games is that you miss out
on the Tutorials / Campaigns in the full versions that explain game play.

You can compensate by visiting this site, and looking through their
FAQ's and Tutorials for AOE 3: http://aoe3.heavengames.com/
