It's actually not, they just reused the ship armor classification for camels back in the 90s because why would ships ever be on land anyway and they were being lazy and it was only used on 2 units back then anyway so why go through the trouble of adding a new armor type. In the recent expansions, which Brit doesn't seem to actually have, Camels are no longer considered ships and have their own armor classification.

@@Templarfreak I may be entirely be wrong and the people who made this incredibly polished game might not care, but out of laziness? Pierce armour already existed, it's super easy to add classification with armours. The real reason has not been discussed, but along with the obvious reference (because again it's the easiest part of making a unit (I make private mods)), I am entirely sure that it was that making knights that are cheaper, do bonus damage against calvary, and can take down castles would be a bad decision. They made it so that all they were good at was killing calvary, and that arrows would do more damage on purpose so you couldn't have both the ability to destroy knights, and the ability to destroy towns (they can obviously but towers counter them to hell). And while they were classified as ships at one point, the only effect that adds is the Heated Shot research (which is pretty major of course). Ships have different armour values than camels, they always had, infact all the ships have unique armour values. They didn't copy and paste, they were just saving space on the CD.

funny thing is the AI building siege reams is exactly how you counter longbows, it just did it in classic useless AI fashion. your units auto fire whatever is closest to them, and rams have 500hp and take 1 damage per arrow. so send in the rams first and suddenly your cavalry or whatever else can get in while the archers are busy with the rams

The problem is scale though. With units in the hundreds, the Britons will land so many hits before the plumed archers close in that they'll still win. The HD edition makes this worse by letting you have far larger armies by pop size than in the original game. A Teched up Korea can catapult rush longbowmen somewhat effectively, but the cost-benefit of that is REALLY unfavorable.

Skirmishers have bonus damage against archers and are very arrow resistant. Certain unique units have very arrow resistant. Goth Huskarls (10 arrow armor while longbows do 11), Viet Rattan archers (huskarl style archers) , Korean war wagons (have fun killing 200+ hp, 8 armor archers), Indian elephant archers (same as above with even more HP, but slower), Khmer Ballista Elephants (same as above with splash damage) At high level they might do some silly plays with siege towers.

The camel exploit is from the 90s version of the game, the HD version does not have this and he knows it, he deliberately made sure to play the original data set in the settings without telling you. The infinite fish thing is a straight up lie. He's lying to you, it's as simple as that. The premise of the video is just false. I'm not actually mad or triggered I just think it's sad that people lie like this and others get duped and take everything up without question. It's not that serious of a problem when it's about a 20 year old computer game, but this kind of dishonest behavior is just an illustration of a larger problem that affects our day to day lives, it happens in politics, marketing, you name it. Why? Profit, that's the gist of it.

Honestly, the HD Edition mostly means "We fixed the graphics so they work on today's systems." I kid you not, much like Starcraft and Starcraft: Brood Wars, if you tried to play the original game off the disk on today's computers, you're gonna be seeing a lot of cyan. Some of the textures just simply aren't recognized any more, so you wind up with eye-stabbing graphic corruption. So yes. Raise a cuppa tea to those who have taken the time to fix the graphics for folks still playing twenty years after the game's release.

Counters to Longbows, Skirmishers, Knights, Cataphracts, Eagle Warriors, and Huskarls. Counters to Trebuchets, other Trebuchets, Cavalry, Eagle Warriors, Mangonels, Longbows, Mangudai, and Kipchaks. Camels aren't affected by Heated Shot (Fortifications do extra damage to ships) They just naturally take more damage by fortifications as a way to balance them since they counter cavalry. They also naturally have low pierce armor so they're already weak to arrows in the first place. Camels aren't boats.

The camels count as ships issue has been fixed in the HD version since the new expansions were released. AoE2, especially with the new expansions is still an amazing game. Considering the RTS genre has all but disappeared from the gaming industry(SC2 being the last stalwart of RTS games as a whole) there aren't too many new alternatives for RTS fans so old games that still work well like AoE2 still have people playing them. AoE2 is still a special case as it's a lot more popular than AoE3 which is obviously a newer game(yet still old) and the fact that there were 2 new expansions released to it after 2 decades, and by a different development team(not Microsoft itself which released the original game). So technically this game is still quite new considering the 2 new expansions released to it.

From what I've heard, it was less of a bug and more a means to counter camels being too strong in Castle Age raiding because of their bonus against knights and such. Making them excessively vulnerable to TC fire was apparently the best solution they could come up with at the time.

@harrythebarry All great games in their own right but in my opinion and given the ever rising number of EoE2HD players, Age of Empires 2 certainly has a place alongside those other top RTS games.

A 4 year old video made me pause and get tea. Spiff, your influence is timeless.

This game is perfectly balanced. Civs like the Goths are given flak for their extremely powerful late game, but they can be countered by early game rushes or hard counter units such as gunpowder or mass cav. Your brits did well because A.) Saracens are comparatively one of the worst civs in the game. B.) Mass Long bowmen will always chew threw any force without good pierce armor. And C.) The Ai isn't very good at exploiting counters except maybe on Hardest difficulties (They usually slaughter me before I get to that stage though). I really would enjoy seeing you play in the online community, AOE2's community is one of the best gaming communities I've encountered, with an extremely supportive and welcoming player base. Finally, camel =/= boats anymore. It's been patched :)

This game still has a quality esports scene. Check it out
