This is THE strategy game of all time. When i was young, i had a copy of Age of Empires II: Age of Kings and the Conquerors expansion. I was obsessed with this game and it gave me a love of ancient and medieval history. The gameplay was endlessly engaging. The soundtrack holds up and is incredible. The original versions have a unique charm and personality. I would be so grateful to have a chance to purchase a copy from GOG!
This game was in fact the first (or at least one of the first) game(s) I remember playing; I sat on top of a kneeling chair at my grandparents house (which I never knew how to sit on properly :D) and played the tutorial missions, specifically the last two again and again, trying to figure out new ways to break the ai and have fun outside the intended way to play it, e.g. by building gates in front of their gates to basically stunlock the ai and prevent them from moving around the map. I'd love to get the original version of the game on GoG to relive those memories. (And the Definitive Edition as well to have all the updates and fixes they made. :D)
I still have a giant box with a premium edition of the game, complete with extra materials like books and manuals. It’s probably one of my favorite childhood titles. I remember wondering how archers or swordsmen could set buildings on fire—I decided it was from the sparks as they struck the stones!
A game I grew up watching my older brothers play but never got the chance. The gameplay, the graphics at the time, the historical aspect of the game, etc. I want to experience all of it and how it originally it was.
This is my favorite RTS of all time. I would even go so far as to say that it's my favorite PC game of all time. Unless I haven't seen it yet, I would love to see the definitive edition on GoG. The gameplay sold it for me. In fact, the overall UI is the standard that I hold to many RTSs to this day. For me, it's simply the best.
Unlike with the Conquerors, and other expansions, the Age of Kings actually has proper conversion. The conquerors breaks this by bringing in a new technology that makes converted units die.
I remember having a lot of fun mass-converting enemy units on Barbarossa's March...before the Conquerors came out.
One of my earliest strategy games back when I was young. It's pretty fun and this has depth to it as well. The expansion pack is also noteworthy so I do hope that we'll get it too.
The peak RTS of the time. The time I have used for all the different factions, units - on land and sea, scenarios... all whilst listening to the soundtrack. And if you were in need of a chill or refreshing experience, you could always type in some of the provided cheats :D
I hope GOG manages to WOLOLO this game to their side.
Half my childhood went into this game.
Even 20+ years later the game looks good. Feels good. The storytelling is just awesome. The campaigns can be really challenging and the skirmish games are just spot on.
Can't wait for it to finely arrive on GOG. This is an instand buy if it comes out here.
A true masterpiece.

Defender of the Crown IIDefender of the Crown II is the sequel to the smash hit Defender of the Crown. It improves over the game by upgrading the arcade sequences. Here, unlike the original game; sword fighting is about method and is not just wild clicking of the mouse button. The siege sequence is also enhanced with different types of ammo (such as Greek fire) to toss into the castle.
