"get whacked by a sword"
SHOWS AXE
YOU SAY SWORD I SAY AXE
@@ZeroEmpires but you said sword
I hoped this would be the top comment :D
Ya call that a sword? ⚔️
This is a sword! ⛏️
That's not a sword that's an axe!
Allroight, alroight, you win, Oi see you've played swords axey before!
Indeed REEEE
I miss the good old days when Camels were classed as Ships if attacked by a Building.
Camels were what now
@@mikealpha4169 Yeah, it's a long running bug in the game, but it was fixed, I want to say, with the release of HD edition. Basically, heated shot would cause your towers and castles to do more damage against ships BUT ALSO camels.
@@Archaneus That proves that the developers were German because in German another word for camel is "desert ship" (Wüstenschiff)
@@Onlyhas99 it isn't to do with a translation error. It was originally for balance. So that if camels versed other camels then they wouldn't be doing stupid high damage to each other, and so the spear line wasn't over powered verse camels because they bonus damage vs ship class armor was different. The developers never really intended for land units to fight water units
I've been playing this game for more than 10 years and there are a lot of things that I still don't know.
Thanks for these guides, I really like them!
Yes! Can you please do this with all tech upgrades, especially university? This is so helpful and high quality
1:19 runescape hitsplats. This is a video and a channel I can get behind.
Kanteri runescape vibes
You should add, that bombard towers benefint from the range upgrade, although they are shooting with cannons 11
The way it looks, the cannon balls are actually thrown out of the windows by villagers in the tower, especially after having researched murder holes.
So the range upgrade just makes the cannon ball throwing villagers inside the tower stronger.
@@manuelrogus2833 Rather murder holes adds villagers who drop cannonballs otherwise, it's always the cannon that's firing.
Bombard Tower attack also increases from Blacksmith upgrades.
You've managed to explain a really confusing topic in a nice and simple graphical way, thank you!!
"I just wanted to keep this short and sweet" I love this british attitude
Hello ZeroEmpires, hope you can create a video guide about the different game modes found in AOE 2 Definitive Edition such as Regicide, Empire Wars etc. Thank you so much for the guides
NEWEST UPDATE (34055)
Ballista Elephants [Standard & Elite]: Now gain the intended benefits of cavalry armor upgrades.
These videos are super helpful. Getting back into AoE2:DE after many years of not playing. Thank you!
Maybe do a similar video on all siege units? What kind upgrades their are, how it improves it all. Especially with those civ upgrades for siege which can be useful to know.
a) Im really enjoying you coming back to doing more aoe videos that are not strictly casting games
b) Think this is a video that should be broken down into parts and go into more depth and with more examples?
Thanks for still being around and interested in this game man. I've been playing this game since it first came out, always did single player, your videos are just perfect to stay up o date. Do you plan on making a video not on the game itself but how to get involved in the community? Thanks
I used to love playing saracens but I hated when I would make a mameluke. Even though I could've learned which upgrades it benefited from, I chose to remain ignorant and blindly upgrade everything in the blacksmith hoping it would benefit from something.
Watching videos like this, implementing them in the campaigns and all that has influenced me when I play other strategy games. The things seem obvious in hindsight, like focusing on armour for melee units.
Anyway, great to see you making plenty of content again. It’s yourself that got me in to the game again and try out the whole streaming thing myself
the subtle runescape reference, the perfect way to picture attack/armor stats
im not a beginner but my opinion is that you made this video aswome
Diolch yn fawr - Thank you very much! Cariad fawr o Gymru - Much love from Wales
Appreciate your work. You would also have added the university mod, as they also play important role in buildings and wall structures.
Loved that nod to SotL with that intro
I've been making mistakes since decades ;_;
this totally helped!
You should also talk about when to spend the resources to upgrade those traits, versus investing in more units
Very well made video, thank you!
I do wish you would have called it 'Normal' and 'peirce' attack/armour. This corrects the main confusion about the ranged normal attacks from axemen, mamelukes, gebeto, lancer, kameyuk etc.
Noice! Thank you for putting this together :)
Love your content
This is actually amazing, thanks! :D
Amazing video, thanks!
This actually helps a lot. Thanks mate. Could you do University as well? What units benefit from ballistics/chemistry/siege engineers?
I love your content keep up the good work.
Love the Runescape 2 reference!
Thanks for the video
Great explanation
This has confused me in the past - thanks!
Remember when this channel quit AoE2...
Me neither
Great summary!
Great Video :)
very nice, can you do university upgrades next?
The ranged mounted units(except Kipchak and Mangudai) are extremely confusing units and I think there should be a separate video to cover them.
Mamelukes take damage from Skirmishers and Huskarls as they are Archer + Cavalry. Arimbai don't get affected by Fletching or Thumb Ring if you test them. Elephant Archer and War Wagon are 100% accurate and have attack bonus vs buildings. Conquistador have attack bonus vs Rams and Ballista Elephants can be healed despite being Seige.
BONUS RANT - KIPCHAKS NO FRAME DELAY BEFORE ATTACK OP OVER 9000
War wagon doesn’t work like a scorpion does it? Ballista elephant does, doesn’t it?
No, War Wagon doesn't work that way. The War Galley and Caravel also seem to work like Scorpions but somehow don't.
@@satyakisil9711 warwagons and galleys just use the animation that looks similar to the scorpion, but otherwise are just regular ranged peirce attacks.
Caravells and ballista elephants actually shoot like scorpions doing pass through spash damage.
Great Video, thx.
Great work!!
bful vid, nicely explained
Can you make another update on this video with all the new civs.
Thanks Zach, but the diagram is very low res, difficult to see what’s what with some of the more ‘similar’ units. Any chance of a higher res version?
When you thought you know everything about the Blacksmith and you learn something new.
didn't spanish cannon galleons get affected by arrow upgrades?
Nice video, but it feels a bit incomplete without discussing siege engeneers.
Does the "Advanced Idle Pointer" mod or anything similar (a mod that has a symbol above idle villagers to recognise them faster/easier) exist for DE? I couldnt find anything so far.
Brilliant! Could you do university next?
Hello Zero and fans. I am one of the older fans of this game. I am having an issue where the slow game mode (I am retired from multiplayer lol) seems like Normal speed in the old game. My fingers/wrist/arm do not work as much anymore. Is there a way I can slow down this game to what used to be slow in original? Maybe my computer is too OP?
ty so fkn much
What about skirmishers are they count as archers or no ?
So if go Turks and get the gun do I go for the archer upgrades
So should i be upgrading all of them ? Or only what’s necessary to the matchs conditions ?
Upgrades are super important, but I'm saving that topic for another video. In general you want to be doing them when you can afford them though
you will need all of them at some point, just get the ones that affect the units you plan on making first, and once you start to transition into different unit get their upgrades too
Do any of then benefit villagers and monks?
1:19 is that the runescape damage indicator??
So, which one first, attack or defense upgrades?
Defense for melee and attack for archers.
Those runescape damage indicators tho
"but if he gets whacked by a sword"
*shows an axe*
well ... I guess, they are both bladed weapons, so i can let this count 11
Diagram Download link not working, please update
What would be the potentially best ranged units then? I enjoy bombardment towers for defense and using long ranged squads so I was thinking Turks but now i see their special units dont get the bonus from range/dmg tech.
MANGudai
Can someone help me ? Zero Empires once recommended a website where you could see all the server games for AOE 2 HD. i can't find that very useful website anymore, anyone know it ?
Iv played 4 games of DE, and every single game has had a dropped player. I'm having issues getting people to join my games, seeing other peoples' games, and my cousin cant even see my games unless I invite him. Also, it seems there are some parts of the game that aren't complete. For example, why don't battle elephants and war elephants have sound animations when attacking? Silent tusk smashing. In the interviews the people creating the game said that one laggy gamer wouldn't slow down the whole game. I can say with certainty that this statement is false. The game lags, and when the laggy gamer is dropped/defeated, the game runs smoothly afterwards. I wish I could say I wasn't disappointed with the release of this game. I hate sounding so negative, but I love AOE2 and have been playing since for 17 years. I was so hyped for this release, and now its been 2 weeks and I still can't even get a good game going. I hope the devs can turn this around, I want to play me some solid Age of Empires!!!!!
Does thumbring affect skirmishers and cavalry archers? Or only normal Archer line?
chikifco SOTL did a video on thumb ring th-cam.com/video/1AXTuKJ1dLg/w-d-xo.html spoiler- it does, and radically so.
And don't forget, camels are boats!
Not since 2013 they aren't :P
That's cool but would I like to see university upgrades too that affect units
I can do another video specifically for the university
@@ZeroEmpires Great, thanks for replying :D
The file you have requested does not exist 😭
Ty now I don't have to explain it to my friends
i put 'rowshef' and upgrade all
then delete the blacksmith to save space,
done
Does alchemy improve Conquistador attack?
no
Only cavalry armor, no attack upragages for gunpowder.
@@MiGluXHD so, is gunpowder worth it? kinda new to the game
@@mikeelooelo8040 Hand cannons are the best counter to most infantry (other than Huskarls and conditierro), but protect them from onagers.
@@Luffy20213 okey ty
Think this video is a pretty good evidence why the whole system should be reworked and be more consistent and understandable for the new players.
Lovely stuff xxx
Can't you upgrade scorpion attack at the blacksmith?
No you can’t, it’s siege.
Ahh I see they changed that in the conquerors...didn't know that. I've been getting fletching and. Bodkin for my mass scorpions rushes. Didn't realize it wasn't helping. Thanks Zack.
Which upgrades should you prioritize first?
Defense for melee and range for archers.
The first upgrade should be Fletching.
Exceptions include Forging for long Scout Rush or Scale Mail Armour with Incas.
We have the same name :0
Why are all the villagers bodybuilders now?
Of course you had to corrupt my eyes at the end with a dirty cuman game :(
Subtitles in spanish,thanks
1.25x speed so much better.
I am a melon.
I've been getting fletching for my conqs for years :'(
second
I can't even play DE as it crashes constantly. Had to refund it.
Depends your specs. Havent seen the requirements?
@@MadGamer1337 the game crashes even for some players with high end pcs
@@floatgolom3719 for me it works just fine
i want Britsh Military on AOE2 from AOE3 i need GUNS ._. !!!
Ok, now do universities :)
