Teach them how to manipulate the pre-teen audiences who don't know any better, use media and advertising to create a phenomenal amount of hype before finally repackaging the same old expansion packs after one another and serving them up to the unsuspecting members of the public who think they're getting something brand new and amazing.
Hmmm, maybe not, I'll just wait until The Sims: Hitman gets released.

It's a great game in many respects- you can play as a variety of civilizations, athere are several elite and special units unique to every nation, as well as heroes. There are several cmapaigns, including William Wallace, Barbarossa and Joan of Arc. You can also play multiplayer over LAN or the internet. It also includes improved features, like garissoning and arranging units/armies into formation, which you could not do in AOE. Also, there is the option of regicides- killing enemy kings. In other words it's fantastic. You can buy it for around £15, but you could also get the gold edition, including The Conquerers expansion for around £25.
