I must seriously thank you guys. All these games, their original versions were my childhood. My love for History and with it my love for Epic storys probably would not exist, if not for these games. My sincerest thanks for remastering them in such a magnificent way. Staying true to the original, and yet bringing some fresh wind into them. Onto more adventures!
Many years ago, my high school medieval history teacher told us that Frederick Barbarossa died in battle during the 3rd crusade. Thanks to your campaign, I could correct her and say that he drowned in a river in Anatolia instead. It's just a small anecdote but it shows that AoE is more than (pretty freaking great) entertainment. Thank you devs for everything and long live this game ❤
Started playing this game when i was 7. Now that i am 23, still feels like yesterday i was playing the Montezuma campaign. Please never stop Ageing. (11)
Currently enjoying the NAC tournament. I love that the constant care you give for the game allow it to bridge the gap between generations and allthough i started playing 20 years ago, my kids now also want to play this. Thank you! ❤
Thank you for that quarter of a century of amazing games! I still have that old CD of AoE3 I got in 2005. Today, I proudly look on my desktop at all the HD and DE collections of AoEI, II, III and AoM Retold. They have given me many passionate afterwork evenings. Thank you guys!
As a fan of AoE series wanna say thx a lot for all stuff. This game reminds me old good times when I was a kid and was playing various rts games. The definitive version gave second life for AoE and while playing on it I have same emotions as I had 20 years ago. I hope that your support will not stop, and this game will have new updates and much more for us - players
My brother and I were introduced to AOE 2 as eight or nine year olds playing at lan parties at church. The AOE franchise has been such an important part of the past twenty years. Thanks for all the memories. Looking foreward to the future. P.S. I would love to see the Scythians as a playable civ.
Thank you Age Of devs! I've been playing these games for over 20 years. I've never seen a community quite like the Age Of community. Capture going from grass roots to professionals is just one of many successful story arcs related to age of empires. The story of this game is just amazing. From MSN gaming zone, to voobly; the renaissance this franchise has experienced is a truly special, heartwarming thing. I am grateful to have been along for the ride even just as a player. This franchise is very special to me. Here's to another 5 years of DE and beyond.🥳🎉
A true success story! So much more than money. Friendship, support, inspiration, save haven, real competition and sportsmanship, fun and I can keep going. Thank you so so much!! Note: Diverse ranked maps, an easy way to connect/communicate ingame and a lower starting elo (or easy: 500, medium: 800 and advanced: 1000) would be huge, would be EPIC! Much love and a blessed christmas time ❤
A big thanks to you and your devoted team! The care that has gone into this game is reflected by just how popular it remains and how amazing its community is (both professional and amateur). At 42 I'm still enjoying the same video game I was addicted to at 17! GG
One of my childhood games ( and still one of my favourites ). Really appreciate the effort everyone at World's Edge, Tantalus Media, Forgotten Empires, Capture Age, Atomhawk and whoever else participated into developing content for this game, much love and appreciation from the bottom of my heart.
Thanks for all the hard work you guys put into this all time classic game, given new life with the definitive edition! I loved Battle for Greece so can't wait to see what more you have in the works! Thanks and continue being awesome! 😎👍
Been playing aoe/aom since I was 7 years old helped me understand design and management so much. Not only that, aoe series is what turned me into a history nerd. Thank you for so many good memories.
Franchement un des meilleurs, si ce n'est le meilleur jeu de stratégie (ça se joue avec Starcraft). Dire que la première version du jeu est sorti en 1998 en France et j'allais souvent voir un copain jouer à se jeu. Suite à cela, je voulais à tout prix un ordinateur, mais on avait pas les moyens. J'ai acheté le jeu quelques jours avant d'avoir nôtre premier PC. J'y joue encore et j'ai passé tellement de temps dessus que si j'avais investi mon temps dans les maths, j'aurai eu la médaille Fields 😂 Merci à vous pour toutes ces années de plaisir et j'espère encore en profiter 25 ans supplémentaires.
Thank you, guys! Since original AOE II was already iconic and superhit, you, the new generation of AOE developers, somehow managed to achieve even more. Thats actually the most satisfying example of how games should be supported and can be improved over the years
The Memories, i remember discovering it the demo back on the Grandfather computer. It's still one of my favorites games ever it's wonderful how it stood the test of time and i hope it will continue for a long time !
Thank you for keeping this alive and better than ever. We all appreciate it and continue to play it and enjoy it as much as you enjoy releasing more content and updates
i do not have a powerful computer to run DE rn, but the support given to the best rts is unparalleled in comparison to others in the industry. Thank you, community, for maintaining AOE2 alive during the Voobly days, and thanks FE for extending this masterpiece's lifetime.
They forgot to talk about one of the best parts that keeps the game and part of the community alive: Custom scenario and Diplomacy. They should support a dlc or game mode by drawing inspiration or recruiting the likes of Invictus, Crusader Blade, Goku, Oniricul/Andi, Neptune, Superdomedome, Mariano, LuciferDaGod, Deroman... and many others. Cause they work on a bunch of maps really nice. They have all their own style and hard work in the game. This deserves a little more attention from the developers I think.
What amazes me the most about AoE is how perfectly designed and balanced it was already 20 years ago to become what it is now, especially regarding competitive PvP games, which it wasn't actually a thing back then. They were 20 years ahead.
il miglior strategico in assoluto, s toccano quasi 2000 anni di storia con tutti i Dlc ed è un piacere giocare e apprendere la Storia con voi, spero in nuovi contenuti sulla Storia Antica e medievali con nuove campagne!
Thank you to the devs that made this awesome and classical game. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see what's new for next year's for new contents.
I wanted to say Age of Empires has fostered my love of history. In Mexico my cousin let me play the first one back in 2000. I was 5. Then i later picked up AOE2. And then finally AOE3. I love all the originals. And i love history.
You've made a legendary game, that resist the test of time. Thank you for give history a way to learn with joy and friends...Age of Empires, the MVP of RTS 😎😎😎😎😎
In March 2020, we started a Friday night gaming group for a bunch of us at work in response to the pandemic. The games had to be inexpensive and run on everyone's systems. I think in our second or third week, we picked this game and since then, we play it most Fridays in the second half of the night after some sort of FPS. Thank you for providing us with this game that has provided us with so many hours of entertainment.
I still have all the Age of Empires, Age of Kings and The Conquerors and Mythologies cds in perfect working order that I still play on my 2011 HP laptop. Regardless, thank you for the past 5 years of the Definitive Edition of DLCs that I have only played most of them only once through, but have yet to play the old campaigns from Age of Kings and The Conquerors in Definitive Edition on the PC as life keeps getting in the way and the X Box version is just too much fun.
Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings - 1999 Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition - 2019 Definitive edition is already a quarter the age that Age of Kings was when it released. Only 16 years to go until Definitive Edition is older than Age of Kings was!
Game of the year 2019. Game of the year 2020. Game of the year 2021. Game of the year 2022. Game of the year 2023. Game of the year 2024. Game of the year 2025??? LETS GOO
I long for sc2 to one day get as much love and attention from the company as AoE2 gets considering they're both owned by Microsoft now. It's really enviable.

This is how you support a game.
Sad aoe3 noises 😢
@@Fobius sad Blizzard noises
@@BelialTnTn For me its sad EA noises
But you know, without Red Bull there wouldn't be any major tournaments. Microsoft could give away a couple hundred thousand in the budget for it.
Sad Pathing noises
The Greatest RTS that has stood the test of time
Thank you for this 5 years and many more

I still remember the thrill of buying my old CD copies of Age of Kings and The Conquerors, back in 2001... thank you for all these years!
Been playing for 25 years ! thank you for the last 5 years of exceptional support
Thank you nice folks, youve been making great games for 20 years+
Thank you for being a part of the Community!

I hope Chronicles sold well, the campaign was heaps of fun. Would love to see Alexander or the Roman invasions as sequels
Thank you guys! You help my brother and I stay connected. Can’t tell you how much we appreciate it.
Here's to many more years!

El mejor juego de toda la historia, insuperable. Muchas gracias :')
This is one of the few current games that can proudly carry the title of Definitive Edition thanks to the developers who revived my childhood.
Thank you for all the love and effort you’ve put into this game! Here’s to many more successful years of this!!

Star Wars Galactic battlegrounds definitive edition, please 🥲
Thanks, but I've already thought about that. It would be a dream. Until then, I can recommend the Expansion Fronts Mod.

Feels like yesterday when DE released. But no, it's already 5 years holy cow... Here's to - at least - 5 more! 🥳🎉
I still have all the Age of Empires, Age of Kings and The Conquerors and Mythologies cds in perfect working order that I still play on my 2011 HP laptop.

This is the only game that i pre-order dlc for as soon as the trailer is released!

With that said, any news on the upcoming DLC for AOM?
Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings - 1999
Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition - 2019
Definitive edition is already a quarter the age that Age of Kings was when it released. Only 16 years to go until Definitive Edition is older than Age of Kings was!
Best RTS ever! Thank you developers! Thank you modding community!

Best way to support a game, and this is the finest example.
Thank you all❤
Aoe2 revival has been one of the best things in gaming the last 15 years
And I just hit 1,000 hours on this game too. What a coincidence!
We thank you for this fantastic game 🙏🏻✌️
may this be a lesson to the industry on how to support a game
I'm looking forward to what the future will hold for AoE/M :)
obrigado vcs, um abraço do Brasil
AoEII is still my favorite out of the series.
