Not much chance of that. Age of Empires is a fun game, but to me, it's just a game. I can just imagine someone who would, though. It would sound something like this:

And lo! The Roman spear-men and swordsmen used their weapons to stab at the Shang Chinese city centre, and after a minute, the city centre caught on fire! Just then, a Chinese priest appeared and converted them all to his cause by chanting, "Wo lo lo! Wo lo lo!" And all the Shang peasants ran away, asking each other "Roggan?"
