| | Wow, someone else remembers it!
Even AOE can be educational. In a way...
Don't think I managed to win that scenario. |

| | Tsk tsk tsk.... AoE said that William Wallace won the battle at Falkirk...And continued to search for Edward Longshanks... Though he died, or got captured there. I can't remember which..
Lesson of the day : Do not trust pc games!

Anyway, if the player could only lose the tutorial, then it wouldn't be such a great tutorial. |
