Age of Empires for Education

TrilokeshChanmugam · Jan 18, 2020

Hello,

I’m a high school Humanities teacher from outback Australia and a very big fan of AoE2. I’m in the process of planning a unit on ancient history and would really love to be able to introduce my students to the game and use it as a teaching resource.

The problem I am facing is that the school computers are fairly old and will not be able to run AoE2 DE or Steam. I am hoping to acquire the old edition of AoE2 or the HD edition. Furthermore, as there will be approximately 20 students in the class and
we will only be playing for a few hours over the course of the term, I am reluctant to buy 20 licenses. Can you offer discounted multiple licenses for groups/schools of AoE2?

Your advice on this is much appreciated.

:)

You could also try and reach out to Age of Empires using social media on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook. The game's PR team could also contact you through there should they reply in a timely manner.

Social Media links for AoE here.

You may have an equal or better chance there, I would for sure start with Twitter if you were to try.

PR is a good start, but there are also Education Specific resources that might have more information on more specific outreach departments.

Here are a few links I've found:

Now, those are North American links, and they might have equivalent links for A/NZ, but might be worth checking out to reach someone who can get you connected to the right people if it's possible.

would be more likely to communicate with the developer, although you could share the game with another account

Hi Trilokesh,

Thanks for coming to the forums. We understand you are inquiring on getting a game for your history class. In this situation you would be best to reach out to the

public relations. Support will not be able to assist in this issue.

Thanks,

Brad

Hi there! In your situation I would probably contact PR to see if that is possible.

Or if you have a local Microsoft Store. Here is the link https://news.microsoft.com/microsoft-public-relations-contacts/
