Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
I have the original Age Of Empires which is the gold edition, (that mean it came with the expansion). I also have the Age Of Empires II and it's expansion Age Of Empires II: The Conquers Expansion. Microsoft should make another Age Of Empires and should make it so that the original Age Of Empires works on XP. They should make their own games with their software.
