I've always thought that AOE1 and 2 intros are oddly similar.

Been watching here and there since AoE RoR. I like these news videos, the algorithm will get to you eventually

Sad that you didn't even mention the many very well done community made rooms? 😟 They are what make the game so good! Many there have a plot.🙂

That sword passing through the ribcage always distrubed me... 25 years later!

Has anyone ever paid attention to the epic kick in the groin at 2:34?

💞Wow🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡💛💛

4:59 RTL Game of the month (RTL is a german tv station)

I could be wrong but i think the low res of the time probably made it harder too, being probably 640x480 or something. You were pretty zoomed in. I loved this game but it took me ages as a child to work out that it's basically just a race to the flags and you win or lose in the first few seconds of the level.

I had this as a part of "Gold Games 2". I really loved this game as a kid and only beat it recently.

Get a blowguard for your micro...

My Dad loved this game :D, thought no one remembered this game.

I loved that game as a kid. I played this for HOURS on end and loved every second of it. Also, micromanaging unit was EXTREMELY effective. Manually controlling a light tank could take out a heavy or even a missle tank pretty easily, due to its speed and speed boost if engaged in combat and manually controlled.

One of the greatest and hardest RTS i've played back then.

I at first thought Cthulhu was being added to Age of Mythology, lol.

Cool

Like I said in my review - many complain that the steam version does not contain most cut scenes, the intro and solves the puzzles automatically. I played this version - it´s the trilogy for 10 dollars and on sale it was much cheaper: www.gog.com/de/game/dracula_trilogy

Great play through! I really enjoyed your video.

You did great video

Promo_SM 😎

just 4? how's that awesome? more like a leftover half digested bone 1 is tutorial the other is demo

Thanks!

I didn't know you could do that

I really liked that game when it came out and have fond memories of it, though I never played it after perhaps the first year from release. Simply not as catchy as Civilization or Age of Empires, its two obvious idols.

They dont make game intros like they used to make anymore.

childhood memories. thank you for uploading :)

Das hat so Bock gemacht früher zu daddeln. Die Kampagnen waren Blockbuster Niveau fr

where can I download or buy It? I dont want remake, justo te original

it needs aftermath though

great video

Agree with you. This should have been update for AOE1DE. Why add a new gamemode to AoE2DE..

It really is just Action 52 again, ig

O have new lands and when I watch two crowns all I think about is wow look at those animations

Thx for the video dude!

what the hell is this video. naval has been a part of AoE 4 ever since the release. these random youtube recommendations zzz

Sixth comment

Thanks, I finally beat the game after this!

As someone who has been playing Kingdom in 21:9 for years, it feels insanely limiting to see the game that way. Especially when you're playing zoomed in as close as you are.

The damage is done...the Indies talk...also this would get into the ear of AAA and AA devs.

Idk man, how do you know it's a paid DLC? I mean nobody said anything about that yet. And if it were gonna be a paid one, how would the rank games work? I paid for Japan and you didn't so only i get to choose that civ and beat your azz with it? Doesn't sound half fair to me, dude.

how did you win i destryoed all the portals nothing happened

At first I didn't play AOE4 because I could not customize my hotkeys. But now I can and it feels good to play it. Still, playing campaigns and skirmish is not the greatest experience. Campaign is boring and skirmish AI is really weak. So to get the most out of this game I believe it's better to play with friends or ranked. About the things you find strange, that make you feel "not at home", I believe they had to do stuff differently from aoe2, otherwise there would be no point in buying this game. I started to like the age up system after understanding a bit about what the buildings were supposed to do. It also makes sense to select a villager, since the age up requires to build something now. Totally agree about the bell feature. It missing affects beginners harshly. It's just hard to control the villagers to safety when you are still learning the game. About the stone walls, I don't hate it, I don't like it... it's just different. About the way scouts work, I think it makes me kinda make 2 scouts most games, one for checking the enemy, one for close scouting and getting sheep. Overall, I enjoy it. But it's a different game, so you'll not "feel at home" unless you accept things are different and play it for a while to learn and get used to it. Ask some friends to play 1v1 our 2v2 with you. Maybe you like it, maybe you don't, but it's certainly better than playing campaign or vs AI.

Good review. Think too it's weird MS didn't just make a major update for AoE I DE (with AoE II DE Engine in the background for unified maintenance). Crucial points for me: 1.) Integration: The final integration feels odd. AoE I is a whole own game and should not only be a game mode for AoE II. Disappointing for AoE I community. 2.) Coexisting: Now AoE I DE and AoE II DE with RoR are strangely co-existing with two communites. I'm active AoE I DE player and me and other lobby room players feel the lack of proper maintenance very frustrating, lobby games in AoE I DE crashing very often. 3.) Graphics: Another sad point for me is that - in my opinion - the very beautiful crafted graphics of AoE I DE looks actually better than RoR. Second looks too much like AoE II and lacks the feeling of AoE I. I do not understand why MS didn't just use the already lovely remastered 4K-graphics as skin over the AoE II DE engine. Hope in the future MS listens to the community and provide a standalone AoE I game again as separate title next to AoE II, III and IV.

It's a good idea the problem is that Microsoft doesn't have a good anti-cheat system. Doesn't have a ladder system like Battlenet yet. They lack patience also they need to host tournaments if they really want this game to another level. Invite Koreans, Chinese and Vietnamese to play tournaments and it will live for like 15 years more.

I feel like if they just went further with changes like you said at the end of the video, it would just be age of empires 2 with an age of empires 1 skin which i am strongly against. I love age of empires 1, and the gameplay changes they made here were good and enough to make age of empires 1 much more playable but kept things faithful to keep the gameplay from being completely unrecognizable from the original. I think the problem with the dlc was how buggy it was and the lack of original campaigns. But luckily they are adding those in too. I still think they should have had a discount for age of empires 1 DE owners though.

I loved listening to you reminisce and talk about this old gem. Thanks for the video and I hope you are doing well

Appreciate the effort the devs/animators put in to this one, but it's all about the AOE 2: Age of Kings intro, that was legendary!

I dunno, but for the price of a burger these days - just to put things in relative perspective - much of the current online agonizing with regards to this DLC comes across as pretty lame to me. Overall, it's been good value for money in terms of getting a new civ to play, along with providing an interesting reboot of the much beloved (and hated in some respects; horrendously bugged pathfinding, for example) original that incorporates many features from AOE II DE. While the somewhat redundant development path is a bit curious in this instance, if nothing else, it's good to know that Microsoft is still devoting resources to the AOE game franchise as an ongoing venture, which is more than can be said about most long-deceased RTS games. Perhaps its aim was targeted more at casual fans (both new and old) of the game rather than the still sizeable corps of diehard fanatics that play it competitively online.

laggy Gameplay krebst mein Auge

Valid enough points, but you should also realize that a great many people play on skirmish and don't even bother with the campaigns at all.
