jasonorme666 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Thanks for the write-up. Can we spend Microsoft points on the content? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pants Party Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 Should be able to. You can buy anything on the GFWL client with MSP, so as long as the content is available there and not ONLY through the website you'll be able to.

Mil Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 That seems a bit too pricey for me, since they going with the Pay-To-Play model. There's not much juice in the game without the "premium" packs which I hoped were going to be more enhancements than full on DLC type of thing. As a fan of AOE and being in the alpha and beta I can say this is not my thing, if they were cheaper maybe but as of right now I'll wait and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBravo Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) im confused about the pvp achievement; can it be obtained for free? i tought i read that pvp can pe played only with premium content Also, those build x building in the capital are confirmed obtainable in free vs?

PC_GFWL_GAMER Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 As I expected its $60 at launch then maybe more DLC with achvs later on! 380GS for free is quite generous of MS compared to how little they gave away with Game Room!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magespower Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I heard come release day there will be bundles at a cheaper price. If your looking to get the full gamerscore I'd wait and see what those are going to cost rather then buying them individually, or getting the one off amazon. Just a heads up for those looking to save some money. Great write up BTW. I really like how you broke it down to see what you got to pay and how much gamerscore it will get you depending on what you decide to buy.

Preykousis Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) So if I buy this: [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Age-Empires-Online-PC-CD/dp/B005DPWGMC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1313105168&sr=8-1]Age of Empires: Online (PC CD): Amazon.co.uk: PC & Video Games[/ame] I should be able to get 740G for £14.99. But I then need to buy Egyptian Empire to get the remaining 260G. If so I imagine it'll only cost around £20-£25 for the full 1000G if I'm correct. That's not too bad to be honest.

SaiSpag Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 So if I buy this: Age of Empires: Online (PC CD): Amazon.co.uk: PC & Video Games I should be able to get 740G for £14.99.

Would like confirmation if this is correct, as I don't want to pay loads for hundreds of tiny bits of a game if there is one cheap way to get it such as this...

rdw040 Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 bundles are available at launch, and now if your on pre-release the first is for all of the content that comes out in the first 6 months which includes 4 civs and 2 boosters and lots of scenery. Cost: UK: 9200MSP US: 8000MSP - I think. the second is for 2 premium civs (Egyptions, Greeks) and you get the first booster for free. meaning the full 1150GS right here. Cost: UK: 3600 US: 3000 - I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonling Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 If the bundle is available now for those on pre-release. Where is it? I would consider buying the "6 month pack" even though it's a bit pricey if it does include all the currently available pieces plus the additional two civs coming up over the holidays. I'm in the pre-release and the only buy options I've seen are for all the individual pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topboy13 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 can anyone shed some light on what lvl you gotta be to Build the Trojan Horse in your Capital City and the library etc damn i need an achievement guide anyone know where one is google has no answers for me lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrog Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Trojan Horse - after you beat Troy storyline, obviously Library & Spartan Academy - these aren't quest prizes, you need to find them in treasure chests. I got Library from the "Breaking Eggs to Make an Omelette" chest and traded Spartan Academy with other player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
privy ninja Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Okay, say you play for free and you get past lvl. 10, (assuming you can in free mode,) and later on you buy the expansion, will you then automatically unlock the achievements for getting past lvl. 10, 20, 30 etc. or would you have to start over?

wrog Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 No, sorry. It's the last quest in one of the Argos questlines - you need to defend your Town Center (in "Breaking Eggs to make an Omelette" for 30 minutes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
