Which digital format of Age of Civilizations II should I buy for PC? An Account or a Steam Key ?

The account format is cheaper but has a more complicated activation process compared to a simple key or code. It may also cause access issues in the future, which is why we only recommend it to users who are familiar with this format or have used it before. If you’re looking for a simpler and safer activation process and don’t mind paying a bit more, we recommend buying the Steam Key format.

If I buy the account format of Age of Civilizations II, will the store provide all the activation instructions?

Yes, stores that sell this format usually guide users through the entire activation process, and if any issues arise, they offer customer support services. And if they don’t help, don’t worry—we’re here to assist you too.

Can I return a digital game for PC?

Some digital formats allow returns under certain conditions.

The store does not send my order and does not respond to support. What can I do?

Don't worry, we have the solution. We will handle it ourselves.

The final price is higher than indicated.

Many stores add payment fees, taxes,... in the cart. So be prepared to spend a little more.

I'm desperate: They don't send me the game, the store ignores me. I think I've lost my money.

Calm down, don't panic. Contact us and we will help you resolve it as soon as possible.

Q: Why is the Steam Key of Age of Civilizations II safer than the account format?

The Steam Key format is what we always recommend due to its ease of use and higher security compared to any other format. You just need to redeem the key in your account to download Age of Civilizations II to your game library. The account format requires more complicated steps and is more prone to errors during activation.

Age of Civilizations II is a global strategy game, in which we must deploy all our cunning and intelligence to conquer the world, a kind of Risk but much more detailed and complex.

The game covers all the Ages of humanity, from the Stone Age to the Modern Age. Age by Age, we must conquer all the territories of the world. We can start as an empire with vast territories or with a greater challenge, start with a simple settlement of huts. Take your people from the beginning of humanity to the future epoch and create a dynasty that will last through the millennia.

In addition to the pre-established adventure, the game is accompanied by a powerful world editor with which we can create our own adventures and share them with the community.
