It's a very memorable soundtrack. My favorite songs are "T Station" (playing around 12:35 on this video), "Tazer" (the final song from the original game) and "Neep Ninny-Bod" (the final song from The Conquerors expansion). Do you have any favorites?

how do you build multiple houses without the building menu closing? I always have to do A + Q, A+Q, A+Q to build 3 houses. It seems you only have to do A+Q once and from there you can place multiple houses

Press A + Q, then hold Shift and use left click to put your houses. Release Shift before putting your last house, otherwise you'll have to press ESC to exit the building mode.

Have you done this on turbo mode? I cant beat them on moderate on turbo. Theyre just so quick!

why do you in the beginning only have the villagers do one sheep at a time? why disnt you just put all the sheet close to the town center?

Dead sheep food decays over time, so it's more efficient to kill one, consume it as fast as possible with all your villagers and then move on to the next one. If you put all your sheep under the town center, once the villagers consume the first sheep, they will automatically spread out to the others, killing two or three at the same time, losing more food due to the decay. Here's a nice video about it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dGR60aSDktS0o6w.html

amazing, but can you handle the new ai for aoe2 on hardest?

There's a new AI?

Exactly what I was wondering... what he plays here looks like the easiest AI on the new version. They kinda jumped the horse with the ai, I struggle for hours before I win, even in a 1vs 1 on moderate difficulty, and I need to use mostly monks (behind walls) in order to survive and slowly bleed the opponent of resources. I'm sure I'm not the best aoe2 gamer, but still. It's hilarious and frustrating at the same time. He rides with an army of Mangudai half as large as my Conquistador army and still doesn't get any resistance whatsoever. I, on the other hand, can't shoot faster than they shit halberdiers, making my advancement into enemy territory almost 0, before the cpu runs out of resources. There's also a crappy system where all the Cavalry Archers shoot the same unit (the closest one), eliminating the advantage of the Conquistador's damage when hit-and-running from weaker units.

Oh i thought i was a best player in AoE2 but you are super good...

one question.. is this the new hardest version?

It is the improved AI that comes with the Steam version, if that's what you mean.

I do not understand 90% of what's happening. We had 5 people play against a singular resonance bot ai today and we were still in dark when they were in castle.

@ElJansConJ

Resonance Bot is harder than the normal AI. It cheats with resources a little bit, and once it hits Castle it sends units non-stop. I could never beat it on Hardest, only on Hard.

I can't even defeat Moderate without cheats lol

Not quite the hardest AI. There is also the "Resonance Bot" by Resonance22 in the steam workshop.

Moderate AI is pretty tough. The jump from Stardard to Moderate is huge, while the jump from Moderate to Hard/Hardest is not that noticeable in my opinion, so don't sweat it if you can't beat Moderate, it's quite the difficulty spike. Hotkeys help a lot. You don't have to learn them all at once, you can start with a few at a time. I think learning the hotkey to select your town center (H) and to select idle villagers (period) are a great place to start, although personally I changed them to Space and Tab, respectively, since I find the default ones a little unconfortable. Once you master those, you can move on to learn the hotkeys to build stuff with your villagers, especially farms and houses, since those are the most common buildings, and you'll save a lot of time.

I don't get this. It is attacking you one by one. at 20 mins game time (10 mins of your video) the ai already has 7-8 scout cavalry, and about 15 archers-skirmishers combined foot soldiers and defeats my skirmishers. I play in "Hard" difficulty not even hardest. It seems your ai is not fast enough.

I have around 300 hours played on this game according to Steam, and I mostly play against the hardest AI (I also play online occasionally, but I don't like online that much). Of all the matches I have played, I've noticed that the AI usually advances to Feudal by 12 mins, then starts making archers/skirmishers and sends them to my base by 20 mins. This is anecdotal, of course. Personally, I have never been attacked by 15 archers and 7 scouts by the 20 minute mark; not that I don't believe you, it's just has never happened to me. I have been attacked by lots of crossbows and knights, but that usually comes later, when the AI reaches Castle Age. Keep in mind that this AI (the one that comes with the HD version) does NOT cheat, it just plays really well. If you are being attacked by that many archers and scouts that early, that took the AI a lot of resources, which means a slower Castle Age, so if you manage to defend succesfully (by making skirmishers and baiting the enemy to your Town Center, for instance) you should have a big window to counter attack. The important thing is to never let the AI relax. You should always make attacks to slow it down, otherwise it will grow too much and by the time it reaches Imperial Age, it will be extremely tough to beat because it makes units non-stop. Cheers!

I may be wrong about minute, it is 22 mins. but even at 20 mins ai seems to have more army in my game than yours, i don't know why. this is a 2v2 game (ally is ai also) this is at 19 mins hard difficulty vgy.me/iBY9N3.jpg 7 scouts + 5 archers - I only managed to train 9 archers. and this is almost at 22 mins hard diff. (same game just restarted) vgy.me/HHmwhd.jpg 7 scouts + 9 archers + 2 skirmishers - and I have 11 archers + 1 scout + 3 spearman (not in ss ) weird thing is, I have managed to beat "hardest" ai before this game, using early archer rush. It was a 1v1 game , I had 6-7 archers at 17 mins and it only had 6 spearmans + 1 scout + 2 archers and it attacked me almost one by one, sent spearmans first and i killed them easily and rest was easy, i didn't let its villagers to come out of tc area. standing limit of the town center attack range and it didn't do anything. As if game behaves different at different difficulties. In hard it rushes very early, but in hardest it was just small army and different choice of units (why spearman ?) This hard game was harder than hardest. i know it sounds weird but i just can't believe why i am facing more army of unity at same minute at lower difficulty.

I just played a couple of matches on Hard (not Hardest), both 1v1 on Arabia and 2v2 on Black Forest, and in all matches the AI advanced to Feudal by 12 to 13 minutes and by 20 minutes it had around 10 archers/skirmishers, no scouts, so at least for me, Hard and Hardest were mostly the same in behaviour. Maybe they changed the AI in the expansions? I only have the base game.

@umutyldrm6838

Yes i think you're right, they might have changed the ai in expansions. I've just tried unclicking all dlc tickbox in steam and start the game only with conquerors expansion. I won against hard 1v1 on coastal it was easy, and hardest 1v1 on arabia, i attacked 8-9 archers before 20 mins ( at 17 mins) and catch it with only 3 skirmishers(But if you wait and let it continue even a little, it trains 10 units of archers/skirmishers like you said). after i killed them waited around tc to interrupt villagers working and eventually won. vgy.me/OWKXNB.jpg But It really felt different, it is highly possible that with rise of the rajas and other dlcs installed, ai behaves different, plays fast and well and more difficult.

Interesting, thanks for letting me know. I think it's strange that they changed the AI in the expansions but not on the base game, considering that people without expansions can play with people with them online and team up against the AI. I imagine that whoever is the host mandates how the AI behaves. I think I'll get the expansions in the next sale.
