Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings for Windows

I recently purchased age of empires 2 : age of kings, with a slightly hesistant feeling. I played age of empires 1, and generally disliked it due to it's slow rate of play and overwhelming inclination to let rushers win. However, with the town bell in aoe2, rushes are through! ^_^ plus the amount of detail given to each race is sooo nice. You really get a feeling that you're playing how the races would have in real life. The graphics are great, and the fun factor is definitely high. The only small problem I have is the games last a little longer than they should. Other than that it's a great game.
