If you’ve ever spent any time playing an RPG or RTS of any kind, you know the biggest learning curve is figuring out what items or materials you need to build that sweet piece of gear your buddy carries around. The different combinations, tools, and techniques required by different games can also add to the confusion. The reality is learning the build tree in a particular game is the key to your survival and is the biggest obstacle between you and world domination.
Age of Empires Online is the latest in Microsoft’s long line of Real-Time Strategy games. While not the most well-received RTS in history, the game is free to play and is worth a look for gamers on a budget. To aid in the learning curve of building items in Age of Empires Online, Microsoft has released Crafting Guide for Windows Phone 7. Crafting Guide provides you a searchable and sortable database of the items you can build within the Age of Empires game, and gives you the recipe or steps needed to build or acquire the item. You also have the option of entering the materials you have access to, and Crafting Guide will provide you with a selection of items you can build from the chosen materials.
Crafting Guide is available as a free download from the Windows Phone Marketplace.

Bah, this is really awesome! Reminds me of some old RPG games of 80-90s, even the design of these things is very familiar to old ones. Back then during my college years I had to write tons of research papers and we enjoyed such games during breaks. Oh that nostalgic feeling..

I think they must have to fighting hard in the last match because it's really deciding them to pass to round of last 16. Godd luck for them. Pinienmoebel
