Projects Inspired by Age of Empires

I was so impressed with the quality of the graphics in Age of Empires II - Age of Kings, (developed by Ensemble Studios and distributed by Microsoft) that I was inspired to build my own versions of some of the buildings. I have added descriptions from my own imagination and not based on the game.
