You then advance to the Castle Age and here you can build, well castles and more advanced weaponry and fortifications. After this, you move onto the Feudal Age where you now have warriors and can start advancing your “technology” where you can have stuff like chainmail armor and wheels for moving stuff. You will be starting off in the dark ages where you have next to nothing and are constantly fighting for survival. As is the case with most other strategy games of this type, Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings spans multiple “ages” as you progress through the game.
