    I'm in New Zealand so have to wait for release date of 10th November. Set at that so far, could change closer to the time. Is it out anywhere else though and any thoughts on the game? I gota try find a good laptop for my budget lol soon too. Love Age of Kings so should be a good game. Wonder what it be like online!

    I love the AoE series, I tried the demo, and it rocks!

    It's coming out in less than a week (October 18). Hopefully it's a bit more polished (visually) than the demo suggested. The demo looked good, but everybody I've talked to says that the graphics were crippled and wouldn't show like they did in the screenshots.

    Would that be due to the type of graphics setup they have? October 18th? I gotta wait a whole month after for it to be released over here. Give me time to look at media shots etc I guess, on the web.
