A lot has changed with the introduction of The Conquerors expansion pack. Not only have new civilizations, units, and technologies been added into the mix, there are now a host of new maps, new terrain types, and even new victory conditions to experience.

Age of Empires II: The Conquerors adds five new civilizations to an already crowded field of contenders. The Conquerors slightly alters some of the original 13 Age of Kings civilizations.
