13 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.

have been playing this game off and on since i was 10? now I'm almost 30 and got steam just to download and play this, still holds up pretty well. Can make easy or difficult depending on what you are looking for, strongly recommend it
Got countless hours before the steam integration. This game is THE blueprint for RTS' and it breaks my heart we most likely will not see a sequel or a remake ever, some of the features/QoL it has is genuenly 20 years ahead of its time if it had better graphics the gameplay would fit right in with the current crop of RTS games. I'm comfortable saying its the most revolutionary game for its genre ever, and will likely stay that way, the sandbox options you have to setup games to how you prefer allows for an endless amount of hours to pour into it. The greatest RTS ever made, and the perfect blueprint for studios to follow.

13 on sale2 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 2 “not sold” markets are read from the Steam price pass of Sep 11: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price in those. The 13 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

I picked this game up a few years ago as my friend had played it extensively as a child in the 2000s. As someone who is laughably bad at all types of RTS games from AoE to Total War, I'm also rubbish at this game, but I have such a fun time that it simply doesn't matter to me. To date, this is the finest RTS I have ever played. There are no caveats to it, its simply a phenomenal game that holds up incredibly well in 2026.
masterpeice!
Please bring the LAN multiplayer mode back like old version. The online multiplayer mode is buggy. I can't even join the game hosted by another PC in my home under the same router. It doesn't make any sense to force everyone to be online anyway. I can only set the version to be old to play in LAN.

Dünyanın en iyi rts oyunlarından biri. Eski olduğuna bakmayın OLD BUT GOLD!
Still one of the best strategy games ever made. Blends RTS combat with long-term economic and territorial decisions better than most modern titles. Every match feels like managing an actual civilization, not just spamming units.
El único juego que iguala y supera al Age of Empires!!!
beats Age of Empires any day
