Which is better, Age of Empires or Civilization?

Question

I want to play a new PC game other than Sims and Oregon Trail which one is more fun?

Answer 1

Well, it depends. They are actually very different games.

If you like real-time strategy, more combat-oriented games, then age of empires 2 or 3 (1 is amazingly old now, 2 can be run by most computers, 3 is more high-end). If you are more interested in things like building up an empire, managing cities etc., and you like turn-based games, then civilization for sure.

If you go with civilization, get Civ 3 instead of 4 -- 3 is better and doesn't need nearly as good a computer to run.

Answer 2

i would say civilization is like the new strategy game, while the age of empires is a 'Old Skool' game. the only bad part about civilization is that it take turns, while in age of empires allows yo to do whatever you want. However civilization have better graphics and featues and the new ones requires vista i think

Answer 3

Civilization is definitely the better one Civ 3 is like AOE 2 not mention civ 4, i own all 3 games, trust me.

Answer 4

If you like Sims and Oregon Trail, you will probably like Civ IV more than AoE, but they are both really good.

Answer 5

I like them both but for different reasons. I like the advancement and wonders system better in civ. It's easier IMO to control the units on AoE and you don't have to wait for the other teams to take their turn (real time I guess).

Answer 6

age of empires

Answer 7

age of empires II was real good

Answer 8

neither they both suck
