A rat's hobby

When i was in high school, a group of friends usually played computer games in recess. They always played something different, but this game impressed to me in the way that i never played another one after it. This game is called Age of empires II. I always said that is like playing chess, but more complex. On this game, you are the King of a medieval civilization, like persian, england or japanese. You command your people to collect nature resources, to explore the map, to build your city and to prepared they weapons. All its against time, because the enemy (the computer or another guy) eventually is going to attack you. The design of the game recreates a mediaval war. You can see horses, swordsmen, castles, catapults even  elephants! Like in the lord of the ring or game of thrones.

I always plays age of empires in summer, in the days that i have nothing to do with my life. Usually a game envolves a couple of hours, so is not very healthy playing every day. Sometimes is a really headache trying to keep your Civilization alive, but every time its easily. You learn about strategy and history, so, this game is not completly a waste of time.
