AGEOD is a developer and publisher of PC games. The company is incorporated in France and has its head office located in Grenoble. The company specializes in developing its own history oriented strategy video games built with its proprietary engine AGE (Adaptive Game Engine), but also publishes third party titles. AGEOD's main goal is offering to players original cultural and gaming creations developed by small independent studios and producers that have trouble finding an outlet within the traditional organization of the market.〔(http://www.birth-of-america2.com/ageod/eu/quisommesnous.php ) (retrieved on 14 July 2008)〕 ==History== AGEOD (AGE Online Distribution) was founded by Philippe Thibaut (designer of board game Europa Universalis, Pax Romana and Great Invasions) and Philippe Malacher (AGE engine creator) in 2005.〔(http://www.birth-of-america2.com/ageod/eu/quisommesnous.php ) (retrieved on 14 July 2008)〕 The first game distributed by AGEOD was ''Birth of America'', a turn-based strategy game about the French and Indian War that took place in the Seven Years' War, and also the American War of Independence. The second game, ''Ageod's American Civil War'', is also a realistic historical turn-based strategy game about the American Civil War including political and economic options. The third game, ''Napoleon's Campaigns'', is the successor of "Birth of America" with a tight focus on strategy during the Napoleonic Wars. In 2008, AGEOD released ''Birth of America 2: Wars in America'', which expanded the previous game ''Birth of America'' by a larger map, new rules, and new scenarios and campaigns. On 17 December 2009 AGEOD was acquired by Paradox Interactive.〔(http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=450218 )〕 In 2012, Paradox France was split away from Paradox Development Studio to work exclusively on games utilizing the AGE engine, with full autonomy. Development of ''Napoleon's Campaigns II'' was shifted from being partially developed by Paradox Development Studio to being solely developed by them, utilizing the Clausewitz engine.〔http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?611767-Paradox-Interactive-amp-Paradox-France〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「AGEod」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
