====== Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings ======
Released by Ensemble Studios in 1999. My first RTS! Played starting at age 12.  This game taught me a lot.  1. William Wallace was a Scottish freedom fighter.  2. I love a good map editor.  3.  I am **TERRIBLE** at RTS games.  I mean, really freaking terrible.  I wish I was good at them, I really think they're fun, but I've never finished an RTS campaign, ever.  Played a bit of [[:games:Starcraft]] and [[:games:Warcraft III]] as well but always hit a wall.

Jeff Hinschberger got into the remaster that came out in 2020/2021 but I never tried it.
