Age of Empires : Hints

_  When you first start playing a single-player, random-map game, you may wish to start with the Yamato or Assyrian cultures. Their villagers start out as fast builders.
 
_  When playing on a single-or-multiple-player, random map with small or large islands, you may wish to play the Greek, Hittite, Minoan, Persian, Phoenician, or Yamato cultures. They have various advantages with boats.
 
_  For tough or offensive walls or towers, try playing the Babylonian, Choson, or Shang cultures.
 
_  For the most useful Priest and Chariot units, use the Egyptian culture. They also get a bonus to their gold mining operations.
 
_  The Sumerian culture has good siege weapons and double the normal farm production, as well as strong villagers.
 
_  The Easy Reference guide has statistics for all the cultures and units, as well as the scoring system, Hot Keys, and the technology tree. These are all very useful for immediate, quick reference.
