I've fact-checked their histories, and (unless I'm wrong) none of them are BS. At every battle, there's a mission objective, hints, and history about them. Another good thing about this game is the history education. You'd need that in order to develop your mind well, and the earlier you start it the better. Another good thing is their mode of difficulty: changing levels would change the A.I.'s intelligence level you're combating against, and that's vital for a real-time strategy game. to young children like I was when I first played them. Playing through this game teaches you and helps you develop a strategic mind, esp. While the effects/CGI is debatable, the key is the game's content and strategy. But in their time, their effects were considered great it's still beautiful even now (just looks old, that's all). (what can you expect from a game in 1997 be compared to 2016). Sure, the graphics of this game isn't as beautiful as the nowadays.

That was my approach at each stage when I was a kid. I always come back, feeling that maybe I I try it again and learn my mistakes, I'll be able to win it. Yet for some reason, I always come back and try them again, and no one was influencing me on this. Scared because each stage, in each civilization, was difficult and that I often lose. I was both scared and excited at each level I come across. Boy, was this game addicting, and fun, and awesome. I was both scared I first played this game when I was 6-7 years old it was in 1997-98.
