Any good strategy set in Iron Age?

AoE II: AoK FTW

AOEII is Dark Ages to Renaissance.
Still, its the best and most fullest Age of Empires game. Awesome game with badass campaigns and awesome civ balance. Age of Mythology is the only one that comes up to its level.

Small correction, it starts from bronze age, even when it says dark age. You have to research Wheelbarrow at the starting point.

Are you sure that AoE2 starts from Bronze Age? I checked wiki and it says:

The Age of Kings is set in the Middle Ages and contains thirteen playable civilizations. They are the Britons, Byzantines, Celts, Goths, Teutons, Franks, Mongols, Chinese, Japanese, Persians, Saracens, Turks and the Vikings

Can someone give me a clarification on this please?

AOEII is Dark Ages to Renaissance.

I am not sure.

But the first tech on the Town center that you discover in Feudal Age is Wheelbarrow. That has been in existence since what Early bronze age? Although I agree that the naming of ages ~300AD +.

What the fuck? What does it even matter if the fucking wheelbarrow was invented in the bronze age or not? Assburgers much? AOE2 is a real time strategy game set in the middle ages full stop. This clearly does not fit the OP's description.

What's up with people saying Age of Empires II even if you subscribe to Shrek's theory that the Dark Ages in-game is actually the Bronze Age (despite the name, units, available civilizations and graphic appearance clearly saying otherwise), you're only in it for about four minutes scouting and gathering resources to hit the Middle Ages.
