Saw this question on another post, but it didn't get answered, since the original post was another topic.

Anyway, whenever I play AOE PPC, I never have any problems winning. The computer never attacks, and just stays in the tool age. I usually play 2 players, hardest setting, random map, conquest.

When I finally decide to smack em around, it's just too easy. I like challenging games, and never use cheats, but this just ain't cuttin' it.

Anybody else have this problem and know how to fix it?

Hey, thanks.

That was good info. I tried a couple, and it does work. Some seem pretty challenging, but others are buggy. They'll spontaneously shut down, or I'll just win without doing anything.

Can you recommend some sites for scenarios?

There's a link to it in MyPDA. Also, Numskull, have you tried playing against multiple computer opponents? I usually play against 4 or so other computer opponents. When I do this, usually 1 of them will stay stuck in the tool age, but the rest aggressively expand in hardest mode. The AI still gets predictable, but it makes for a much more challenging game. The best challenge for me is 5 computer opponents, large map size, hidden map, no fixed positions, nomad starting age, and hardest difficulty level.

You can download from Handango or PocketGear. If you check the "New" forum you'll find a 15% discount code for PocketGear

Thanks for pointing out that downloadable campaigns work! I'd never have guessed myself. On this same note, does anyone know where a patch to 1.25 is? I've always had 1.07 and there's no friggin delete button. I know where it's supposed to be, but it's not there. If you wall something off and the computer doesn't destroy it, you have to shoot your own catapults at it. I've exhausted google and still haven't found any sort of patch.

Also note that version 1.25 was issued by MDM after they purchased the rights to the game from Zio. If you redownload the newest version of the game, you may need to aquire a new registration key directly from MDM. The old registration key you were using with version 1.07 will no longer work. I found this out the hard way, but MDM responded to my email quickly with a new registration key.

I bought AOE years ago and got the ZIO version. Anybody know if MDM is allowing "upgrades" for that version?

Also, whatever happened to the Ultima Underworlds from Zio. Did someone else pick it up?
