let me summarize the game for you, you start off with a town center, 3 villagers, and a scout. you then proceed to build a town, and an army to defend yourself from others who are doing the same. the goal is to gather enough resources to create a large enough of an army to destroy the other player. game play time ranges from 1 hour to multiple days (depending on skill level)

1 hour to multiple days? wtf xD
As a person who plays multiplayer age of empires on a decent level over a decade, an average game lasts between 15 and 90 minutes. if you are a noob playing 8 player compstomp games, it could go up on for many many hours though.

I've played this like with 5 friends and almost all the games lasted 3+ hours. Seriously in the end someone just chose Persia and ********** the other team with an endless stream of war elephants though.

War Elephants are very weak (hit&run destroys them). No offence, but you guys are noobs :p nothing wrong with that ;)

Can't hit and run em when there's like 100 knocking our castles down. SERIOUSLY I kept killing them but there was just an infinite stream coming into our bases. (Also **** tons of other units)

Halbedier spam or monk spam also kills them.

What kind of buildings can your city create?

Barracks, archery range, stable, siege workshop, blacksmith, university, monastery, market, town center, castle, houses, watch towers, keeps, bombard towers, dock, wood camp, mines, farms, and a wonder

that's just off the top of my head

I might be forgetting one or two things...

It also depends on which game you play.

I generally play AoE 3, so you get the following buildings:

House, market, farm, docks, blockhouse, trading post, stables, armory, plantation, citadel, fort, siege workshop and church.

Also, you begin with a caravan, which gives you 5 villagers, your adventurer and a town center. Additional units and buildings can be unlocked, such as factory, bank and town criers.

All the games are pretty much different, which is what makes then interesting.
