You killed me with the Byzantine extra building HP bonus :) Well done.
me too 😁😁
Got me too 😂😂😂😂😂
Regarding the Hun Wonder, I always thought that the concept behind it was that the huns had actually ransacked and stole the arc from the romans. That's why the arc is in very bad shape. It's a symbol of the plunder and defeat of a rich empire.
3:39 "For the Frank wonder you think they might have gone with Notre Dame..."

you are the best AoE2 youtuber and your editing always makes it better :D
I am glad I subscribed
Lol beautiful!
+khangbob WONDERfull* xd
Thats a good detail
I noticed that too lol
Damn this video is so well done. I see what you did in the editor to have these battles near the wonders!?! It didn't go unnoticed. Very good!
What did he do?
@@F1fan4evanoone died
Please do the new civs too!
DON'T TELL OUR GOD WHAT WONDERS SHOULD HE BESTOW US WITH.
IF HE WISHES TO PLEASE YOUR WHIMS, HE WILL, BUT DON'T YOU EVEN DARE ASK HIM DIRECTLY.
PLEASE FORGIVE THIS LOST SHEEP, SPIRITOFTHELAW, OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.

Wolololololololooooooo
and please also do the 2 map editor wonders
extremely high quality content here again Spirit. The battles going on around the wonders are fantastic.
How come no one is dying in those battles?
The Viking wonder is clearly based off dragonsreach in whiterun.
Sounds like the sort of time wizardry they'd use, yeah.
Do you get to the Cloud District very often?
ClanWiE Shad ya mouth, Nazeem.
ClanWiE what’re you saying? Of course I don’t
Still waiting for the "Supremacy" movie... Only 29 years left
Your face says it all
What a wonderful way to finish the weekend. Thanks, Spirit :D
WONDERful
Antares!! :3
Funnily enough the Portuguese wonder was also made to stop boats from entering the river. It just did that with a fuckton of cannons instead of a silly chain.
LonelyKnight Cannons, the City Guard's best friend, the Sailor's worst nightmare.
It is the "Torre de Belém", right?
Giovani Camargo yes.
A chain boom was effectively used in Constantinople as well as by the Americans against the British at West Point
Dude chains are not silly, chains were the thing that prevent several times countless ports of being captured thought a looooooooong timeeeeeeeee although our way is also efective ^_^
Dude we had a "super boat" that we had from the money from the exploration period that was a HUGE boat and a Christian ltalic nation had to ask us to borrow it beacause they couldnt capture a Turk port, our super boat was the only thing capable of breaking that chain, the other boats would simply break trying to do so, this history that chains prevent ports being capture is just a small example in probably the thousands that hapened
mongol wonder is genghis khan's tent, to be specific "the golden tent" or "altın orda".
word "orda" is also homonymous with turkish word "ordu"meaning army or horde. that's why "altın orda" is translated to english as "golden horde" while it actually means "golden tent"
Does sound a lot cooler in context, I suppose.
Interesting, we use the word "ordu" in persian as well I had no idea that it's a turkic/mongolian word but we do have a lot of turkic/mongolian words.
@@okhan_roudbaraki We Turks used to have alot of Persian words back in the Ottoman days, or so they say. However after the republic Turkification of the language was one of the reforms, so I guess they aren't as common as they used to be.
Berk Bilak I still find lots of Persian words when I hear someone speak in Turkish which is interesting.
Thanks for sharing! I always wondered about that name
... Converted the King to Christianity.
My mind: Wololololo
Speaking of the Byzantine Wonder, didn't Viper destroy that?!
that was the turk one, duh
The Sharku it wasn't a mosque at first the Turks took over and made it a mosque it was a Orthodox Church
MALEMization its named hagia sophia but fatih the conqueror changed,customized and renamed as blue mosque
nah blue mosque isnt hagia sophia its sultan ahmed mosque's other name bec of its blue tiles ( even he said that in video)
They're 2 buildings, and even just down the road from each other :D

11:21 wtf is that viking at the middle of battle doing?
İşsiz Ergen Panicking, obviously.
His best
Styling it out with a bit of moonwalking.
Ice skating?
Hero Harald haardraada, a ranged berserker.
2:10 "and is still standing today mostly thanks to the Byzantine's extra building HP bonus"
yeah I chuckled at that.
2:16 😀
btw in aoe 3, Torre del oro is the military academy building in the Spanish home city
Joey Kickassery nice memory :) . I was thinking the same
Yes and Temple of Heaven is one of the 5 Chinese wonders
The Britons indeed have the Aachen Cathedral as their wonder. The reason for this is that ES first intended to only have 1 wonder per building set like in Age of Empires 1. Later they decided to give every civilization a unique wonder anyway and for some reason (maybe lack of time) the Britons never got their own unique wonder.
1302AOE yeah seems a bit of a missed opportunity when they could have had the original Palace of Westminster or something like that
I would have gone with Old Saint Paul's Cathedral (the medieval one that got burnt down in the great fire of 1666), Llandaff Cathedral or Cathédrale Saint-Tugdual
or maybe the tower of London, don't you think?
I also think they didn't want to waste the cathedral as an asset and they had to give it to someone. It wouldn't make sense for the Toutans though as they mostly were in what is now Brandenburg and north Poland and Aachen is in the Rhineland.
The war between tikal and calakmul is actually one of the battles of the forgotten, "Dos Pilas."
man, Ive binged so many of your vids. Your part of the reason I got back into AOE recently
Obviously you need to do the expansion wonders too.
I "wonder" what this video is about! Great Video SOTL, "KEEP" it up!
American Templar deus vult
You would make an excellent history teacher, i can imagine you teaching your students through AoE, it would be the most interesting class...
He should teach history in Japan, they'll love him.
Imagine him teaching about El Cid: He shows a Red Cobra Car minigunning a Spanish Villager only to be ONE PUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDD!
Gabriel Casanas at school, a friend and I convinced our History teacher to continue the Medieval Age class by showing an Age of Empires 2 game to all the classroom. It was the best school class ever !!
This video gave me a good educational overview of History regarding ancient monuments and architectures compared to half of the years of studying History back in School. :)
This video is the greatest Wonder I've ever seen with my own eyes.
the wonder the wonder the-- NOOOO
french when notre dame
I meant to just put it on in the background and continue cooking but ended up doing nothing but watching the whole video. Seriously interesting stuff! This video reminds me why I got into AoE2 so much as kid.
I can safely say you've made a video that I've been wanting ever since I was a little boy, playing Age of Kings on my parent's computer. Thanks so much dude, this was a wonderful video
Its amazing how much history you managed to put in a single video.
Big fan of your work, you must know a lot of stuff about history.
I love your background information videos. Also, I never get tired of the intro music. Never.
This video is filled with all sorts of little details that make it very, very good. I loved the battles and the little guy falling off the spiral minaret!
I think i'll never play this game. But your vids are awesome man. Love the way you do all of them. Keep being awesome.
ps: tthe intro song is always so fricking good,never change it
MrLollereo should play it though. Play the new expansion pack
MrLollereo don't play it, you can get attached to it the rest of your life. It's so goddamn fun with it
I'd never think that someone could ever keep my attention for hours with Mathematics and History.
Neither in highschool nor in university my teachers could achieve this,
Oddly, here you are, my, by far the favorite youtuber (actually only youtuber i ever fallow) did that.
with science.
my friends are laughing at me. telling me to get real and just play the game and stop going into its math and detail.
thank you sir.
Nice work Spirit of the law. You showed us that you are not just another nerd playing aoe 2, but a cult boy in history and really like how you play with words relating historical facts with game bonuses.
I always WONDERed what spirt's next video would be....
LOL lmao wondered
i live in front of the britons wonder and i didnt realise it XD lol aachens cathredral
How could i not have noticed that earlier..
But who'd think of the britons having the öcher dom as a wonder though
Your Hispanic?
Very educational video. You must put a lot of hard work into it. Thank for sharing it man, great job :D!
The viking wonder is my favorite also. Looks downright cozy. Runner-up is the britons' german cathedral.
thanks for bringing the old intro back
I really didn't expect that video to be so entertaining, this guy can make laundry sound interesting
The beginning sound at 7:59 sounds so much like 'time is running out' from Muse. Thanks for the catchy tune, now it's haunting me :P
Awesome work once again! Was a real pleasure to watch!!!
wonderful to have you back !
I love how indepth you went with this, I had no idea that these buildings were so thought out!
this video sums up a lot of research I did like 5 years ago. it was awesome
I love it when you give this more historical side to AoE2. Granted, it's always been about history, but people these days don't give that much thought. I guess I'll start thinking whenever someone tries to pull a wonder victory ;)
Loved how you sneakily promoted your favourite civ with the only AOE2 related information of the video xD!
Very interesting and informativ video overall!
Well, he also talked about the Byzantine building HP, the Chinese providing better farms and the Teutons not having architecture.
Age of Numbers Quick guides for AOE2HD that small battle between samuráis it was kinda awesone, maybe if the terrain around be a little bit more "mountainly" or be some cherry blossoms would be magnificent
I live in Aachen and I always thought, that the Britons Wonder looks a lot like our cathedral. Glad, I'm not alone with this... :D
I love the details in this Video especially the britons fighting the vikings in the end and the hagia Sofia next to the turkish wonder. Brilliant!
I was kind of expecting a mathematic break down of resource costs build time and odds of successfully defending them.
Am I the only one who LOVES your intro? It's so relaxing
It's actually really impressive how long you've kept these videos up! good on you man!
A lot of clever links between wonders and civ special abilities
Great video! I love how much effort you spent in between setting up a mock fight for each civilization, and all of the pain-staking research you must have done to put this video together! I especially like the Saracen easter egg at 9:32, nice touch! ;D Keep up the great work! :D
Your AoE and historical jokes are soo good :D
I've always wanted to know more about the story behind the wonders in AoE2, so thanks for making this video!
I'd love it if you eventually decided to do the expansion ones.
I love the units fighting in the background. could watch it all day.
This is one of the best videos I've ever saw on youtube, congratulations and thank you, your job is marvelous !
I was kinda hoping this would be a video about the viability of wonders and which civs can best go for them, etc., but this was actually pretty rad as well.
I enjoy learning about the significant history behind these structures
that was really fun to watch. im glad you put this together.
Can I just say you honestly make good content that I am always happy to see.
AOE2 is one of the reasons I enjoyed history lessons as a kid. Whenever I booted up the game, I wasn't 'playing a game' but rather 'learning more history'.
The scenery around each wonder was really well done
I was expecting to hear about the maths and stats of wonder in aoe, but this is also very nice.
Wonderful video! That couldn't have been easy to track all of those down. Well done.
I can say that the design of korean wonder is the imaginary creation of Ensemble Studio, based on the other pagodas of East Asia, just like you mentioned from the video. However, I always considered this one as the pagoda of Hwangnyongsa, even if it doesn't look like to the original at all. First, the pagoda of Hwangnyongsa is the most famous pagoda in korean history, which can represent the korean civilization in the video game with no doubt. Second, the location of Wonder from the Noryang Point campaign is Gyeongju in real life, where the Hwangnyongsa was actually located. Anyway, as always, thanks for making this useful and entertaining video. :)
For the Mongols wonder, its possible that the Ensemble Studios artists took inspiration from the tents from the 1956 film The Conqueror, which is infamous for the filming location at an active nuclear test site in Utah. (8:13)
"It's still standing today, Mostly thanks to the Byzantine's extra building HP bonus..." Took me a minute to realize that was a joke before rofl 😂😂
Another gorgeous and informative video :) I really appreciate all the effort you put into research here, as well as the beautiful setups you've created with the Wonders.
10:20 the huskarls and teutonic knights fighting looks awesome!
For not being a historian, this is some pretty solid research. Love it.
Cool video man! Btw ZeroEmpires said they wanted you to join the Escape Gamings casters tournament but failed to get a response. It would be really cool to see you join up with the other casters of AoE 2 sometimes 😀
Hey there, nice video!!
I think the Franks wonder is more like the Clermont Ferrand Cathedral, but it's hard to guess.
Keep the good work, and I really hope you'll make African kingdoms civ overviews someday, and maybe upgrade your "what civ is best for you" quizz if you have the time, I'm doing the old one each time I want to try new playstyles ;)
So thanks to your amazing video I've made some research about the Frank's wonder and found out interesting stuff:
While it was never specified by the developers what exactly they were going for with that design, it is interesting to point out that the official guide book for AOE II ''The Age of Kings'' mentions Chartre's Cathedral as an example in it's description for wonders (along with Aachen's cathedral ((which is mentioned as Charlemagne's palace for some reason)) and Hagia Sophia). I only found that in the French edition of the guidebook since I don't possess any other (p.53, Chapter Buildings).
But as you pointed out the two buildings don't quite look the same and from a historical point of view it would make more sense to use Reims' cathedral as a wonder, since it was the place where every French king's coronation ceremony took place from 1027 to 1825.
I think your theory about it being just a representation of what a generic French cathedral is right, especially considering that the Gothic architecture was called ''francigenum opus'' during the middle ages which literally translates into ''French art''. This would be a nice homage to the late medieval French architecture style as a whole.
Thank you very much for the passion and research you put into these videos, it makes them both very interesting and entertaining.
The Civ 5 game reference. You are an awesome person!
loved this video, so interesting! I always was so curious about the accuracy of all the different wonders
This is a topic that I always wanted to know more about. Thanks for the research! Really interesting!!
Looking forward to the new civs' wonders as well!
Well a wonderful video i guess i'll have to wonder when the next part comes out.
huh....this was actually well researched and very interesting....a pleasant surprise!
"Mongols get a giant golden tent"
GER... GER
This is a wondrous video.
I'll show myself out.
I would love a second episode of this one.
From what I gathered, in the begining they were planning each architectural style to have one wonder to it. For the Wester European style of the Britons, Teutons, Franks, etc they had the Aachen Cathedral which kind of encompassed all of them. But in the end they went with every civilization having its own wonder, and the Britons got the already made Aachen Cathedral.
Rest in peace Franks Wonder
Pretty great video. In every book I've read about Genghis Khan, they all mention his tent being huge compared to the others, and that its pulled by 8 oxen. I like to think that's the Mongol wonder rather than some static building
Fun fact about the Mausoleum of Theoderic: If you stand by the wall inside the upper chamber and whisper, someone standing in a specific spot on the other side of the room can hear you very clearly due to the echo traveling along the cylindrical wall.
Always high quality content, keep it up!
There's no other channel that could compete with yours if it happened to publish a video at the same time.
I think the huns didn't actually built it. It's kind of wierd, but I think they wanted to go with a successfull raid symbol. Like there was the wonder already, and the huns just gathered the treasure and food around it, and this is what makes it good for the Huns Wonder. Because its a complete Roman raid. But I just wildly imagine, we learn something in hungary about this, I have a faint memory hearing something like that actually happened, but really faint memory
The troops not dying during the fights while you were explaining I found was oddly distracting. Great video otherwise Spirit, you do an amazing job.
A WONDERful video...
yeah I'll get out now
goodone
Literally the joke in the thumbnail. Nice.
I also saw that in the thumbnail
You just copied the joke in the thumbnail?? LMAO
Are you the same person who posted a comment as Bane (from Batman)?
Love the video SOTW, keep up the good work.
Awesome video and I bet it took you loooong time to compile but its very educational.
Omg that byzantine building HP joke! xD
"...that one was burned down by the Mongols"
that made me laugh way too much
"Why every time be build a wall the fricking mongols gotta knock it down"!
This is a great video! It's super interesting to hear the histories. Great work!
I would love to see the other civs done at some point :)
Great video! I love the way you look at AoE!
I actually don't like playing age of empire, but your videos are very entertaining.
Keep doing what you are doing :}
that's pretty need thanks for the efford putting this together :)
