Never played the mod since it crashed for me around 1 hour, really fun scenario since there are plenty objectives to do and feel faster paced then the other viking ones
I think multiplayer community would be glad to have a mod which adds custom voice lines like "Run awaaay", "Where was Gondor when the Westfold fell", "And my AXE!" by Ornlu and "Let's goooo" by T90. All those "Gold, please" and "Attack, please" lines are not enough any more. I am not a PvP guy but I feel that way😂
Raiding Scotland early is the best, it doesn't have such powerful units (your heroes can take care of them) and they give you A LOT of gold for each monastery, I went there straight after helping our friend not-Rollo, I got Wootz Steel and Garland Wars really early The age shield always blinks when you have the resources and buildings to age up, even if you don't have a TC I used some Boyars as a meatshield for my Throwing Axemen near the end, they are not half bad with Wootz Steel
Is this 6 whole scenarios for Vikings and no campaign for them? I guess they will never get a campaign if they got 4 scenarios in one DLC. The scenarios are nice and interesting, but not exactly a stand in for a full Viking campaign.
Hey Ornlu, just a heads-up, I was attempting the Mstislav scenario yesterday(Hard ofc) as I was intrigued by its 3 star rating. I tried to play it, and in no way was it possible for me. I tried to free the camps around the initial base and mostly focused on eco bases, and 1-2 military bases. Suddenly, everyone hit imp, green, yellow and cyan were at my door with loads of infantry and cavalry(FU), while Red had boyars and SOs knocking my towers and walls down. Meanwhile I was stuck in Castle Age with a lot of resources but no way to make meaningful use of these(Boyars eaten by Leiciai, Kipchaks by green skirms) I then got frustrated and watched your earlier video which was a pretty stark contrast to my experience. Can you see whats happening in the scenario? Am I not doing something that should've been done but Im unaware of? I even tried sieging Red during another try in Castle Age but got flattened by onagers.
I think the scwnario was updated with more difficulty and the ai rushes you hard. I think its stupid that it gets infinite resources and advances to the next age while not having to protect the vils to get resources.
Just played it today actually! Beat it my first try - raided the villages and whatnot, looked for relics, etc. until I got Imp. Then I went for some siege rams and punched my way into green. It snowballs pretty easily from there
@@OrnLu_AoE update : I retried the scenario and did it. Seems that I really had to conquer all the eco villages fast enough as first priority, that automatically upgrades me to Imp at some point. From there it was smooth sailing. Shouldn't have gone after the military bases at all. Btw my eco villages were heckled a lot by those 4 and I wish the scenario doesn't do that as it doesn't allow us to make a TC
Hello, I own Age of Empires 2 The Definition Edition. My latest version was updated today. Also, my computer is high and when I enter a section of any game, such as Age of Empires at 1.37, there are no dialogue sounds at the opening of the game.
You know what would be fun? Adding the Sami as a civ, with 2 new campaigns, 1 for the Sami and 1 for Vikings! 👌 I guess there is potential for 1 more civ and 1 more campaign, but not sure what that would be. A Celt campaign maybe?
I would've liked some for the most underappriciated civs. A Portuguese scenario, a Burgundian one, a Italian one, a Bulgarians one, a Cumans one, a Magyars one. Lots of options.
@@OrnLu_AoE wait, my version installed aoe2 DE on my laptop is 101.102.30274.0(#95810) 911. Is that the newest update or there is another new update for new dlc? Because i can't find the victors and vanguished dlc in it
I just spent two and a half hours playing this level. Killed every army and couldn't win due to not finding one stupid throwing axeman who was hidden in the forest. I'm sorry, but that's terrible level design. AOE2 shouldn't work with Filthydelphia again. I appreciate his custom campaigns but his scenarios aren't really what AOE2 is about. I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy this DLC.
You probably can do that. There really isn't much difficulty to this scenario after some early raids. I just wanted to make sure I had plenty of gold before going after the Western Sea Kings
The line "a little king there and a little king there" makes me think of "Old MacDonald had a Farm"...
The Van Kleiss footsteps after making with the Egyptian Empire and the City of Rome, he here to make conquer of Nanite by see those Viking Skool!!

the bath in the blood of Stag "elf" for King Haralad Fairmane
Looking forward to you playing Japanese campaign Nobunaga. Spoiler, if you choose Mori, you can play with landmines, spectacular I promise
Poor Ms Lady, getting used to the bitter end for building and mining. Hope she doesn't complain to the ethics commission

are you going to make a tier list of these scenarios (a la historical battles tier list)
Yup!

Disclaimer at the start, I didn’t watch the video yet… but did you find yourself?! 😎

Is it possible to research the tech at the beginning on Xbox, or am I just over looking it?

Sami civ is a new low not gonna lie
There are 45 civs in the game and they decided to devote 4 scenarios to the Vikings...😑
I would've liked some for the most underappriciated civs. A Portuguese scenario, a Burgundian one, a Italian one, a Bulgarians one, a Cumans one, a Magyars one. Lots of options.
There is also the issue that Vikings as a boom and destroy civ are kind of boring.
There are ten scenarios for the Franks (Joan 1-6, Tours, Hastings, Charlemagne, Robert)
they aren't really viking scenarios though. you have tarkans, huskarls, throwing axemen in ragnar. this is barely aoe2 let alone vikings
All of these (except Fetih) were already made by filthydelthia. They were just reworked for official reasons.
4:24 Sco'land 11
Why isn't The Last Neanderthal in this new DLC?
Now THAT would be too weird for people! :)
@filthydelphiacreations1619 After watching Ornlu play it yeah it would be weird.
I find all viking scenarios play the same and feel the same , its like 1 scenario only with map and name changes.
How to get all those scenario??
The Victors and Vanquished DLC. You can play 14/19 scenarios as free mods though

which scenarios are completely new?
Charlemagne, Robert, Otto, Fetih, and Nobunaga

Why did you kill the danes? I won the scenario by only killing the southern jarls, western sea kings, west men(for gold) and hordoland
You probably can do that. There really isn't much difficulty to this scenario after some early raids. I just wanted to make sure I had plenty of gold before going after the Western Sea Kings
