Centurions getting their orders like, "You 20 men are going west to pillage and have fun. You other 3 are going east, and it was nice knowing you."

There's something about the original AoE aesthetic I really enjoy, even if it isn't my favorite strategy game from a mechanical standpoint, I really love how they brought pre Roman wars to life.

OMG that immediately brought me back to 1997... Actually, AoE was one of the biggest revelations in my gaming life. Thank you very much for that hardcore content!

It's not very difficult... you just have to do everything perfect and you will be fine ! Awesome video and awesome game !

AOE1 content now? Awesome. I return to AOE1 sometimes just for some simple AI matches and it still remands fun.

Damn dude that was pure chaos at the end. But the eco and the lures were amazing! I used to love that avalanche effect in AoE. Thanks for bringing me down on memeory lane! (Of course my pc would have bent over the amount of units here. 50 pop was all I could handle)

I really like thi game, but this expemplifies why I hated the remaster so much. The AI was left untouched, it's the same hellscape of micromanaged individual units acting separately. Game is about AI abuse and patience. Not to say that's any easy. Amazing job man. Mad skills being shown here.

They have added a number of QoL features and they made the civs a lot more balanced (nerfs to overpowered bonuses and new bonuses for previously weak civs like the Greeks). The pathfinding is still quite poor unfortunately, units still love getting stuck. 😉

Nice game thoug. This AoE looks so good!

I just love how the ships move around with no handicap at all. These things make nowadays cars look like they are incapable of steering.

Holy crap it's AoE 1! I haven't seen this played in ages!

With all those buildings bro you actually built Athens! Glad I'm not the only one who mixes up the hotkey for tower and farm! Great Vid!

Is there hill advantage for those towers? (More dmg on a hill) or did AoE2 start that?

Always wondered what it would be like if Alexander played age of empires...now I know...the exact same thing that happened in his time hahaha

I will try it sometime! Although, I did notice the AI intelligence and agressiveness seems to vary quite a bit depending on luck and map type. On the "Inland" map type they were especially bad, so I went with "Coastal" instead to make it more interesting. For an open map, I can't seem to think of a way to survive if they start attacking as early as in this video (~11 minutes) and you're not able to wall them out. You might have to get lucky and have them start attacking later instead.

@@StuGames I've had the same experience. Last i played all Villagers of all AI players stopped moving in bronze age, just standing around the town center. On hardest AI. That was disappointingly easy. 😂 A good way to defend alot of war elephants are priests. Once they are converted they can help defending the wall.

Wow it must be really difficult to micromanage with this speed. I am very impressed

Those choke points were a real meat grinder

Man, I wish they'd give some more love to AoE1. It's my favorite of the three in terms of time period and the last patch for it was a *year* ago. The AI is still bonkers, even on easy, some of the civ bonuses are just dogwater, and the pathfinding is mind-boggling.

Also how do you counter elephants? My experience in the game is fairly limited but some AIs seem to build only elephants and I have no idea how to take them down; they're just so tanky.

@thegimlichannel

Жыл бұрын

Wololo! That is, priests spring to mind, as they can convert the slow and expensive elephants. Any ranged unit with a faster move speed (which isn't hard, moving faster than elephants in this game) can kite them around forever I reckon. Like chariot archers, which also have the benefit of not costing any gold. Mind you, I don't know how the game is played at competitive levels, but using general knowledge of the game and RTS's, this makes sense to me :)

I played through the first campaign recently but to be honest I wasn't terribly impressed. My biggest issue with AoE 4 (as well as 3) is that you can't increase the game speed like in 1 and 2, so the gameplay is fairly slow.

I saw "Greeks" and thought this was Age of Mythology. I wasn't disappointed, anyway!

My and my friends are so bad that we have to 3v 1 the hardest ai and still lose most of the time but it’s always so much fun

If the greeks ever stuck together for more than 5 years...
