age of empires

[BCReefer]

I like the game but I can't swallow the cost of $70.00 when the engine of the game is identical to Age Of Empires. The only difference is the characters and what they do. This is why people burn CD's cause the manufactures always scam us. $10.00 says in 4 - 6 months an add-on comes out for $49.99 that adds 2 new races and a new agility to each other race.

What I would really like is a turn based strategy game. When I was in high school I used to do war gaming with Napoleonic characters. This was cool and fun. Now all games are based upon actual events and you can't really change the sequence very well. If I ever make some money I will bring togther some programmers to make better games - less graphics more game.

PS - if anyone can suggest a cool game please let me know.
