Can the original “Age of Empires 2” be played in two-player mode, so I can play against a friend (and a few computer-driven societies)

Recently, I downloaded the game "Age of Empires II" (the original version of 20 years ago) on my PC. I would like to play that against a friend, both in the same room against each other (and if possible against computer-driven societies). Is it possible to use a multiplayer mode for that? Does it work via the same Wifi network? Do I need to use a LAN cable or insert the IP address?

Best Answer

According to the website, Age of Empires II: Age of Kings supports multiplayer through both wireless and LAN. There is a place in the main menu called Lobbies, and from there you can either create a lobby or join your friend's lobby, and add as many computer players as you want from the game.

You can also join online wireless lobbies through this website.
