Yeah, we could abstract and say that the "bombard towers" are representing heavy balistas or catapults in this context. Romans actually had very advanced siege during this time. Not complaining about the historical accuracy of the game. There is just so much you can make a game historically accurate. Just making fun of the situation.
13:07 - 13:17 "Ok, we need to be careful with Mr. Atilla here!" The 90 kg's treb cannonball almost hit Atilla with half HP through 300 m. "We are fine, we are fine!"
Father Armand was silent for a long time. He glanced over at the head on the stake. "A Hunnic Trophy" he said. " I think the man was a Visigoth. He died at the battle of the Cataluanian Fields. I keep it here so that I may see it every day and remember" "Remember what, Father?" I asked him. "The scent of a burning village. The sound of butchery. The way peasants would flee before the Hun Riders. The way we would ride them down. The way it felt to conquer alongside Atilla and the Huns" He leaned so close I could feel his breath. "Sometimes...I Miss It."
I love the ending of the story with father Armand. How he's holding the skull next to his head, revealing his hunnic insanity for a brief moment. "Sometimes... I miss it." Just perfectly done by Ensemble Studios, credits to them.
The Onderonian Then I have to disappoint you. In reality, the battle of the catalaunian fields marked the end of the huns. Their lines broke to aetius' army after attila died during the battle. That conversation with Leo V probably never happened...
What's really disappointing is that literally no sources back that up. Everything I've ever read has said Atilla died on his wedding night after ravaging Italy. Aoe II says it's a nose bleed but it was most likely a hemorrhoid in his esophagus or acid reflex disease due to his heavy drinking.
Probably an American text book haha. We don't have a great history education here. Just google how he died. There are millions of web sites that talk about it, most of which say it was on his wedding night.
The Onderonian I'm quite sure it was not an american textbook, I'm not american. But maybe I read it on the wrong sites, I'm not sure. Thanks for sharing the knowledge though. Attila the hun truly was an extraordinary person.
I found it slightly amusing that the "Romans" referred to Pope Leo as "the first", as if they knew there would be more popes choosing the name "Leo" lol.
This Villager Buging on the forage Bush is most likely because: 1) KI Assigns Vills to take Food from Bush. 2) Vills have maxed out Inventory 3) KI sees Idle Vills (they can not drop the stuff off) so it assigns them to the task it thinks makes the most sense (taking Food from Berries) and here the loop begins
So the bug in this game is that the enemy doesn't want to resign without at least starting a wonder. So if you wait for Padua to start their wonder then kill them they will resign without having to kill every unit and building.
I personally think that trying to fight 4 different enemies simultaneously while also trying to destroy Wonders before they can win was quite fun. But I only did the level on Moderate difficulty. I could imagine hard difficulty would be more annoying, unless you're Viper of course ;)
How everyone here, including me approached this Szenario: we dont scout first of all. we just see the wonder, and prepare to attack. thats after 30 minutes when we have an army full of paladins and trebuchets build up. and if someone is ever tough enough to scout, then the only reaction ever was full retreat unless you have your whole army ready to go. well.. and then there is the viper :D
My initial reaction was to build 2 castles (with help from market) in front of the tc. Oh man, it was hell! That's seems to have triggered green, purple and red to go on attack. They were everywhere. Oh the nightmare. And then you see the Viper... And the solution turns out to be _not_ building castles. Goddammit!
Alaric (Visigoth) the 1st sacked Rome in 415 for 3 days before leaving south and dying shortly after. Then Attila the Hun arrived in 452 and turned back at the gates and died shortly after. Genseric of the Vandals sacked Rome in 455 for 13 days, conquered all of Italy, Corsica and Malta. He died 22 years later aged 88.
Wow! That was pretty excellent micromanagement tactics in the initial game. Although I tried following your strategy, I failed in the tactics. Never mind, will learn ;)
Viper, whatever age you start in you have the researches researched from the age before, for example since you started in the imperial age here you had ballistics researched but not chemisthy and you didn't have heavy cav archers researched, etc...
"They're staying alive because of one goddamn Fire Ship" You just wait until Sforza mission 3, the enemy stays alive literally with just walls and houses...
That's right, but considering that looking for the Roman name for it redirected me to the Greek one, the Roman religion being a rip-off of the Greek's, and that the Greeks ended up composing the Roman empire anyway (the eastern part of it) I just went ahead and called it that. But if someone knows the actual name for it, please let me know :) And yeah, Asphodel is the civilian afterlife; Only villagers went to these berries at 31:52 , heh.
I think Viper should have a 10 min handicap before he can start attacking the AI. He kills them before they have a chance to build their army. STOP BREAKING THE GAME VIPER!!
I wish you replayed this on DE, I was replaying the campaigns for nostalgia and they are soo much harder lol. For example in DE they build wonders with a ton of villagers, if you reck Milan at the start, they don't resign, but later start building a wonder out of nowhere with 20 vils lol, and surrender once you stop them - the atheism upgrade is actually very helpful. Verona sends out an actual army of Paladins and axemen in defense etc. I aint pro or anything, but I was doing similar things to what you did, but I had to fight so much stuff, that I ran out of gold for reinforcements lol. This one was the hardest in DE I think.
You're not kidding! Took me about 15 attempts to beat it, took me half the day to get it right. 20x harder than it used to be. GJ completing as well :-)
@@theryeguy1986 GJ you yoo. I almost gave up, and I didn't remember it being hard when I played it as a kid at all lol, hit me like a bag of bricks haha.
I love the game and try to be good but damn he is fast with those hotkeys i barely know al of the hot keys and then he build like crazy everywhere i always stat on like one place😂😂
And then I asked all my friends to see the next video of viperaoc to see me find it on twitch finally and subscribe to ur channel. They r still waiting to see the epic event 😭🙈 and don't believe me.
why does no one pause the game with the handy dandy pause button on keyboard. also Viper why do you provoke the enemy before your forces are built up, every time?
See what I did was I broke all the gates of the cities and had a villager build my own gates there. That effectively sealed every troop inside. Then, I used trebuchets to kill everyone inside. I destroyed the towers and gates with petards.
I'm sure the conversation between Leo and Attila went something like this:
Attila: "So what do you want?"
Leo: "WOLOLO"
Top comment.
have all my likes
And Attila got converted somehow, that's why he ceased attack!
Ah, the powers of persuasion!
Heroes are immune to wololo tho
I love the narration of this game, when it's not pannicking saracens worrying for their trade routes.
When the Cruzaders are pretty much destroyed, but the saracens are still pannicking. 😂😂😂
4:03 "What? Why are they attacking me? I'm not ready!" - says every previous campaign AI being attacked by Viper.
Bombard towers in 452 A.D. Seems legit.
Agreed: absolutely ridiculous and built by the scenario designer: shame on him!
The secret behind Rome's conquests. Bombard tower rushing.
Jonatas Silveira Baldo gmischa was Roman emperor?
Not to mention Huns' cannon galleons and goths full acess to all gunpowder units!
Yeah, we could abstract and say that the "bombard towers" are representing heavy balistas or catapults in this context. Romans actually had very advanced siege during this time.

Fucking awesome ending to an awesome campaign, my favorite line of script on this game by far.
Glad im not the only one
The Huns campaign is the best! Second best is teutons and aztecs
It’s good to see there are others who recall this favoured line! 20 years on and it still gives me shivers. Better than the Definitive Edition too.
And that line sounds amazing both in French and Spanish too.
DE is great, but the voice-acting didn't need replacing, such a shame.
I love how Viper attacks people first every time, and then is surprised when they attack him back
I always get shivers after that line from Father Armand, "Sometimes... I miss it." With that twisted smile, man... XD
20 years on and it still gives me chills too! Best line in the game.
the only line that imo can live up to that is the closing line from the grand dukes campaign (burgundians) from the DE DLC.
But in the end Biper got the last laugh. He killed Attila offscreen.
"Attila must survive. Oh wai... Oh shit! No! We have to control a hero..."
ROFL
I warned him in the previous VIDEO!
13:07 - 13:17 "Ok, we need to be careful with Mr. Atilla here!"
The 90 kg's treb cannonball almost hit Atilla with half HP through 300 m.
"We are fine, we are fine!"
in vipers defense, attila would have survived that shot 11
And so ends my favorite AoE2 campaign. That ending always gives me the chills.
Father Armand the priest is savage
I mean he held that Theodoric the Goth skull like freaking Hamlet!
"Alas, Poor Theodoric, I knew him, Attila"
Father Armand was silent for a long time. He glanced over at the head on the stake.
"A Hunnic Trophy" he said. " I think the man was a Visigoth. He died at the battle of the Cataluanian Fields. I keep it here so that I may see it every day and remember"
"Remember what, Father?" I asked him.
"The scent of a burning village. The sound of butchery. The way peasants would flee before the Hun Riders. The way we would ride them down. The way it felt to conquer alongside Atilla and the Huns"
He leaned so close I could feel his breath.
"Sometimes...I Miss It."
Like I said, Father Armand and Hamlet have similarities that... cannot be explained by mere words!
"It's not over yet, biper"
-Green Fast Fire Captain, circa 452 A.D
1111
Coming back here after DE new voiceover. The iconic line ("Sometimes... I miss it.") has way less energy now, damn.
I remember completing this campaign in my teens and hearing Father Armand's confession at the end. It was definitely a #OhShit! moment.
Green's vills dancing to the sax man
*Tiiimoooo*
*Ikkke houutski*
*Temeee*
*Breedniiinaaash*
Finally I found someone who speaks Hunnic! I used to think they're Naruto fans until now!
@@MALEMization Mongolian. The game creators just used it for the Huns as well since the original Hunnic language is not known.
**Hootsklii**
I love the ending of the story with father Armand. How he's holding the skull next to his head, revealing his hunnic insanity for a brief moment.

5:37 Viper's micro so good he doesn't even realize he's doing it.
38:04 Pope Leo was trying to heal your Tarkans.
Good guy Leo. Maybe that's why Attila turned around. :D
@@f.c.laukhard3623 wouldn't it be fun if when you brought Atilla to the gates of Rome, the pope turned hostile and converted him?
@@azh698 Ah, so that's why he suddenly died during the wedding night. Leo just deleted him after conversion.
@@f.c.laukhard3623 No, no, Viper had researched Heresy!

#Clearly a mastah in geography!
If I could go back i time, I would go back to hear what Leo said to Atilla.
The Onderonian Then I have to disappoint you. In reality, the battle of the catalaunian fields marked the end of the huns. Their lines broke to aetius' army after attila died during the battle. That conversation with Leo V probably never happened...

This Villager Buging on the forage Bush is most likely because: 1) KI Assigns Vills to take Food from Bush. 2) Vills have maxed out Inventory 3) KI sees Idle Vills (they can not drop the stuff off) so it assigns them to the task it thinks makes the most sense (taking Food from Berries) and here the loop begins

He must survive, even when he is dead, reffering to one mission, LOL :-D.

MEGA SPOILER ALERT:
DEAD EL CID MUST SURVIVE ON THE LAST MISSION

Especially the last one.
LOL
When you come to the end of a really fun campaign: Feels Sad Man...
Brett Donaghue True :/ But this mission is annoying AF
I personally think that trying to fight 4 different enemies simultaneously while also trying to destroy Wonders before they can win was quite fun. But I only did the level on Moderate difficulty. I could imagine hard difficulty would be more annoying, unless you're Viper of course ;)
El Cid was the most fun campaign for me. And I even think that it's the best campaign in AoE2.
COMPLETE AGREEMENT! Undeniable fact!
El Cid was a total Badass in that Campaign.
12:14 Sending Attila to the treb was almost his death. You were so lucky he didn't die to the castle fire at 12:40.
How everyone here, including me approached this Szenario:
we dont scout first of all. we just see the wonder, and prepare to attack. thats after 30 minutes when we have an army full of paladins and trebuchets build up. and if someone is ever tough enough to scout, then the only reaction ever was full retreat unless you have your whole army ready to go.

My initial reaction was to build 2 castles (with help from market) in front of the tc.
Oh man, it was hell! That's seems to have triggered green, purple and red to go on attack.
They were everywhere. Oh the nightmare.
And then you see the Viper... And the solution turns out to be _not_ building castles.
Goddammit!
I have a bad feeling that you are going to get El Cid killed in the next campaing. You'll get him killed by the sixth level at the latest is my guess.
I love the reaction when the Longbowman arrive XD
Thank you so much for this serie! I love it :)
I love your vids viper. I look forward to the next. The longer the video the better
Alaric (Visigoth) the 1st sacked Rome in 415 for 3 days before leaving south and dying shortly after.

Genseric of the Vandals sacked Rome in 455 for 13 days, conquered all of Italy, Corsica and Malta. He died 22 years later aged 88.
Coincidence?
i think not
Never heard them take all of Italy
Atilla entered rome too
@@Kxoe559 Well, the 22 years do not quite fit.
Campaign missions with base building are quite boring, because there is no chance of Viper losing (except for suiciding a hero of course).
Ohhhh that outro is so good. Not just the voice acting, but how they leave the music out for the final sequence.
Finally, I have been waiting the whole day :) Thanks Biper
i've been waiting for this one
A heart shape in walls? How quaint.
Wow! That was pretty excellent micromanagement tactics in the initial game. Although I tried following your strategy, I failed in the tactics. Never mind, will learn ;)
My poor Italy is now totality destroyed! Are you proud of what you did viper? ARE YOU!?
would love to see you play battles of the forgotten. Some of those missions are brutally difficult.
I agree! I never managed to finish the vinlandsaga when I was a kid
Viper, whatever age you start in you have the researches researched from the age before, for example since you started in the imperial age here you had ballistics researched but not chemisthy and you didn't have heavy cav archers researched, etc...
Took me 1:22, I am learning to push my economy faster watching you. You were twenty minutes ahead of me the whole way. Thanks this is fun.

indeed
Don't attack me! I'M NOT DONE DESTROYING YOUR ALLY!!!
Hey Viper can you play through Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds? It's a great game.
You haven't done the bonus scenarios from the Forgotten? They are pretty darn tough.
I haven't watched the video yet but
41 minutes? WTF?

"They're staying alive because of one goddamn Fire Ship" You just wait until Sforza mission 3, the enemy stays alive literally with just walls and houses...
"Let's not let red get away with vills"
Those berries were the Asphodel Meadows, or whatever the Romans called the afterlife.
mm aa the Romans never called the afterlife Asphodel. That was the Greeks. Also, it was 1 of 3 outcomes for your afterlife.
That's right, but considering that looking for the Roman name for it redirected me to the Greek one, the Roman religion being a rip-off of the Greek's, and that the Greeks ended up composing the Roman empire anyway (the eastern part of it) I just went ahead and called it that. But if someone knows the actual name for it, please let me know :)
And yeah, Asphodel is the civilian afterlife; Only villagers went to these berries at 31:52 , heh.
I think Viper should have a 10 min handicap before he can start attacking the AI. He kills them before they have a chance to build their army.
STOP BREAKING THE GAME VIPER!!
You know nothing about history. Those are the sacred berries of Jah, and they eat i before going to heaven.

13:39 The Viper has this path explored all the way down up to Verona. How was that possible??
16:43 Answered myself
It happens regularly with AI that they don't surrender if they still have any navy left, even when they are completely wiped out on the land...

How do you speed up at the end?

why are there palisades on the water? and where there really already wood dors in aoc?
Those are Sea Walls and Sea Gates. They were used exclusively on the campaigns by ES and hidden otherwise.
This mission is so much tougher in DE. You should try these again.
A lot of people trying to be the roman emperor these days, can't wait to see how Montezuma will try to conquer Rome :)
See what I did was I broke all the gates of the cities and had a villager build my own gates there. That effectively sealed every troop inside. Then, I used trebuchets to kill everyone inside. I destroyed the towers and gates with petards.
If it's a walled city, I take the gates and use trebuchets to kill everyone in general. Very effective across most campaigns
You're playing it only now, so it's not that special, but the wooden water gate in Aquileia wa something really special back in the day...
