Empire

There was a kind person from the closed Ensemble Studios who wanted to continue the Age of Empire, a famous real-time strategy game which came to our world 12 years ago.

To many people, these years are a long time. In Hong Kong we have been under the rule of three CEs who were controlled by the King from the north. Everytime a new CE comes, worse things happen. Their leadership has sunken our heart, depleting our talents and destroying our souls. We, as citizens, are going to see something we do not want to see very soon, the so-called the death of Hong Kong.

Politics and governance needs strategy. The lack of strategy (or perhaps a logical mind) of the officials and LegCo made our town from the Imperial Age to the Dark Age. We are in short of vision and we cannot see the enemy. We do not have the knowledge to see the future. Living in the Dark Age simply means we are living in the dark. But in reality we are perhaps worse: we could not even farm our land because the government decided to sell them to the tycoons or the King from the north.

May I suggest our CEs and our LegCo to play this game with the new patch. Oh, I forget to tell you the name of the game. It is called The Forgotten Empires.

However, we never forget how good we used to be before 1997.
