Play some AoE!

Everybody can make an announcement, so do that when you want to start a game.

I'm bringing AoE2 back, come play.
Here's how to play:

1. Download and install

OR

Age of Kings (original): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KJMFMRRX

The Conquerers (expansion): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6SN997T3

2. Patch to 1.0c

3. Install cracks

No cd crack for Age of Kings: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=777L5Y2T

No CD Crack for the Conquerers: http://www.megaupload.com/d=O8YDQ458

4. (Opt) Install 1k player limit

Note this requires everybody you're playing with to have the pop limit. If they do not, then it will be capped at either the normal amount (200), at zero, or the game will desync depending on who's hosting and the arrangement of the constellations.

Step 5. Download Hamachi
