Age Of Empires Screenshot available on the official site

This image is a screenshot from a video game, and its copyright is most likely held by the game's publisher or developer. It is believed that the use of low-resolution screenshots

to visually identify the game in question
on the English Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

constitutes fair use under the Copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image may be copyright infringement. For more information, see Wikipedia:Non-free content. Fair use

To the uploader:

Please add a detailed non-free use rationale for each article the image is used in, which must also declare compliance with the other parts of the non-free content criteria, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
For example non-free use rationales, see Wikipedia:Use rationale examples.
This tag should only be used for video game screenshots.
Either of the following may be helpful for stating the rationale: Template:Game rationale or Template:Non-free use rationale video game screenshot.
Additionally, please specify at least one platform in the first parameter. See usage below.

To patrollers and administrators: If this image has an appropriate rationale please append |image has rationale=yes as a parameter to the license template.

Fair-use in Age of Empires (video game)

This image is subject to copyright, however, its use constitute fair-use under United States laws for the following reasons:

The image is being used in an informative way and should not detract from the game;
Use of this image does not limit or prevent the license holders' ability to sell the game;
No substitute is available under a free license, nor could one be created that would provide the same information;
The image is a clear depiction of a battle going on during gameplay, and its inclusion in the article is crucial, as fighting tactics and battle are thoroughly discussed. To describe the many concepts depicted in the image using merely words would be very difficult, and would not contribute to the article much at all; and
The image is widely distributed across the Internet already, so its use on Wikipedia does not have much more of a significant impact on the license holders.
