Hi there!

Some time ago (~12 years) I myself wanted to create a game similar to Age of Empires.
I was able to create some nice graphics and mock-up engines in Turbo Pascal and JavaScript but the game never got anywhere and after all this time probably will never get anywhere.

Are you interested in some graphics files?

As you can see, the overall appearance of the graphics is kind of AoE-esque. They would therefore be quite a lot better than generic placeholders.

CC-BY-SA licensing would be fine with me. Let me know what you think.

Side note: I am also writing an engine clone, namely for Anno 1602:
You can find it here: https://github.com/roybaer/mdcii-engine and I describe it in more detail in the AnnoZone forum (German).
