Some years a go I had a go at playing Age of Empires I – against the computer…
I happily created several little round huts with campfires blazing, and a small group of men whom I sent off to hunt, fish, gather berries, and mine stone and gold.
Things had hardly gotten started before I heard a tinny blast of a trumpet or some such, and a couple of chariots complete with archers appeared out of nowhere. Next thing I know, and to my absolute horror, all my little round huts have burned to the ground and my little group of people are all dead!
I was so traumatised by the dreadful slaughter I have never attempted to play Age of Empires again!

“Freecell” is much more my thing…
