Age of Empires II (PC) Trivia Quiz

Answer: Aztecs

Jaguar Warriors are fast infantry with moderate attack, but combined with Garland Wars, which gives +4 to infantry attack, they become a force to be reckoned with.

Answer: Vikings

The Berserks are strong and fast units that heal themselves slowly. The Berserkergang technology speeds up their healing. As for the Viking Longboats, they're not that great, unless you can make lots of them, then they're just annoying.

Answer: Teutons

The Teutons are my favorite race. Teutonic Knights, aside from being cool looking, are basically easy to make tanks. They are slow, but that can be rectified with some quick cavalry units. As for their technology, it gives castles a +3 range and lets garrisoned infantry fire arrows. A couple of closely grouped Teuton castles will mess up any invader.

Answer: Koreans

I've never used the Koreans, mainly because the War Wagons don't seem that useful. Their Turtle Ships can destroy other ships quite easily, but naval warfare isn't always necessary. Their unique technology add +2 range to Mangonels and Onagers, which is in no way related to the unique units, but moderately useful anyway.

Answer: Turks

The Turks are the only main gunpowder civilization. Their Janissaries are more powerful hand cannoners, and the Artillery technology adds +2 range to Bombard Cannons, Bombard Towers, and Cannon Galleons. The down side is that it takes a lot of resources to research all the technologies to use all these gunpowder units.

Answer: Britons

The Longbowman slighly better than the Arbalests, but in my opinion, far less useful than hand cannoners. Their Yeomen technology adds +1 range to archers, giving them a slight edge over the archers of other civilizations, and a +2 attack to towers, which is actually very useful as towers are a staple defense.

Answer: Japanese

The samurai are a very balanced infantry unit. They have good amounts of hit points, attack, and speed. And the Kataparuto technology makes Trebuchets, the ultimate destructive force, pack and fire faster.

Answer: Mayans

Plumed archers are faster and better armored than normal archers, but have less attack. The El Dorado adds +40 hit points to Eagle Warriors, which become a very powerful infantry with this addition.

Answer: Franks

I always saw the Franks as more cavalry people than throwing axemen people, but the axemen are pretty cool. They are a moderately powerful and moderately ranged infantry unit. The Bearded Axe technology add +1 to throwing axemen range.

Answer: Chinese

The Chu Ko Nu is a chinese archer. Rocketry adds +2 to their attack, and +4 attack to scorpions.

Answer: Spanish

They sure did capture the ancient Spanish spirit. Conquistadors are the only mounted units with guns, and their Missionaries are a mounted monk. The supremacy technology makes villagers more suited for battle.

Answer: Persians

The Persians are my second favorite civilization. Their War Elephants are the closest thing there is to tanks in the game. They are strong and have a ton of hit points. So what if they're slow and expensive to make. The Mahouts technology increases War Elephants speed by 30%, making them fast enough to stomp fleeing villagers.

Answer: Mongols

The Mangudai are a unique cavalry archer unit. The drill technology gives a much welcome 50% speed increase to siege weapons.

Answer: Saracens

The Mameluke is a unique camel. Camels are used to overcome other cavalry units. The Zealotry technology gives camels and Mamelukes +30 hit points making them much more useful.

Answer: Huns

The Tarkan is a unique cavalry unit. The Atheism technology adds another 100 years to the relic victroy, making it much harder to achieve, and it halves the cost of the Spies/Treason technology.

Answer: Byzantines

The Cataphracts are a unique cavalry unit. The Logistica technology gives Cataphracts trample damage, which means they can hurt multiple units if they are close together.

Answer: Goths

The Goths are the ultimate quick victory race. First, you have the unique unit, the Huskarl. They aren't particularly great, but their strenght is in the unique technologies. The Anarchy technology lets you create Huskarls at the Barracks, which are much easier to make than castles.

Then the Perfusion technology makes Barracks work 50% faster. Combine theses two and you can churn out armies of Huskarls in a short amount of time.

Answer: Celts

The Woad Raider is a powerful and quick infantry unit that is very effective against buildings. The Furor Celtica gives +50% health to seige units.

Answer: Goths

The Goths have the Anarchy and Perfusion technologies, the Koreans have War Wagons and Turtle Ships, the Spanish have Conquistadors and Missionaries, and the Vikings have Berserks and Longboats.

Answer: The Conquerors

"Age of Kings" is the name of the actual game, not the expansion. "Lord of Destruction" is the name of the "Diablo II" expansion. "Rule the World" is something I just made up.
