Here's one of my all-time favorite games!  Long before my past WoW addiction, there was my Age Of Empires II: The Conquerors addiction.  I spent many hours playing this game on the glorious MSN Gaming Zone.  At the time, I was also running an AOEII clan that specialized in Deathmatch on Green Arabia-type maps.  I even made a few custom maps that my clan enjoyed playing on.  Ahhh, those were the days! :)

Anyway, enjoy this gameplay, it's not really the most exciting, but, you get the general idea of how it plays across three monitors.  What types of advantages do you see playing RTS (real-time strategy) games on a triple-monitor setup such as this?

 

Edit: Can a mod please clean this up?  It's gone haywire on me.

I see no advantage playing on a giant screen like that. It would most likely actually decrease your situational awareness drastically, due to not being able to see all of the display at the same time. Also, do you thing that $1500 in graphics cards might be a little overkill for AOE 2?

Yes, $1500 in graphics cards is definitely overkill for AOEII HD, however, I did not purchase them only to play AOEII HD.  There are many more games and features that I have the privilege of enjoying. :D
