1 Fact for Every AoE2 Civ (A-K) 

4:36 for those looking.

Well they get some of the best arbalests in AoE 4, but just bad crossbows in AoE 2, so I'd say it evens out.

@@ArawnOfAnnwn i think he's referring to the fact that many chinese inventions are not given to chinese for gameplay balance issues. gunpowder technologies being the foremost.

@@kaganozdemir4332 I knew what he meant.

@@kaganozdemir4332 Chinese with cannons would be so OP!

Think even better is the French ignoring a silent last letter while french itself does that to all words :)

the r is pronounced in Old Khmer but probably not around the 1400's

In the original Hun video spirit commented on how it sounds like a bunch of creepy clowns laughing at you.

@@Blundabus1337 thanks I didn't want to sleep anyway

Was this bug or design? I think that is a cool and unique way to use kreposts.

Sounds a bit too micro-intensive to be practical, though.

@@Naxhus2 Very much a bug! It's fixed now.

Sounds super nice for a Krepost rush. Once you dropped a Krepost on the enemy’s face, just set the villagers on their stone while also having miners back home. Just a single trip and you could probably advance and drop a new Krepost. If you temporarily need another resource like wood or gold just snag it at the next drop zone without the need for a new camp. OP stuff right there.

a literal battle camp? pretty funny, never would have known without this.

What about Trebuchets? Didn't they use them in their Arabia campaign against the Japanese?

Man, and they still lost? The Spanish must've researched supremacy. Transporting that many vils by ship tho.

Probably didn't have enough food for the upgrade, it's quite expensive

Whats crazy is they dragged them without wheels lol

@@BartleyBuck garland wars is strong thats why probably :D

Came here to comment this. Everyone forgets just how damn much AoC bought! I only had AoK until 2007 or so hahaha.

Yeah, when I started, unique techs weren't a thing.

What about the Efiopians?

Wow, that's pretty interesting. Probably the most useless information ever but still cool to know :p In 42 civs only once does the letter F appear

@@pizzaandchipsmate Close but "f" and "F" aint the same.

Let's wait for the Frisian by any chance

@@pizzaandchipsmate Lifuanians.

Frenc

CAREFUL!

@@keanan5412 "Why do you call me that?" "You are all Frenc to me." I know I know, that's AoE3. I'll see myself out :D

the genoese are stingy bastards

lol

yeee un altro italiano finalmente 30

It bothers me that "Kataparuto" its just catapult in a japanese-american kind of accent instead of a proper japanese term.

Well I always rationalize that cataphracts (as would any heavy cav) puts a huge strain on logistics so having better logistics amounts to better cataprhacts

@@besacciaesteban Kataparuto (カタパルト)is the correct term in Japanese. It is a foreign loan word, and as such it uses Japanese sounds to approximate the English.

@@grifsterwashere but the english came to japan well into the gunpowder era. Japan already had adopted cannon designs from china by that point, so they surely had catapults long before any knowledge of the english language. So i bet there is a proper japanese word for a machine designed to hurl huge stones at the enemy.

@@darkhope97 then Logistics should be an eco upgrade or discount for catas

I think it's just to add a Fire ship weakness to their galleons and turtle ships, a counter that demo ships strongly counter

Small correction, Admiral Yi Sun-Shin never lost a single battle as a commander during the Imjin War, not a single ship. But in the Battle of Myeongnyang, he never lost a single ship.

Pretty sure they do when an opponent resigns in one of the missions

They held the title until Bengalis were added

No because both mounted and dismounted konniks share attack upgrades

+1, a list of all these: TC: Loom, Wheelbarrow, Hand cart Blacksmith: Scale, Chain, Plate armor, Forging, Iron Casting, Blast Furnace Uni: Treadmill crane Castle: Sappers Mining camp: Gold mining, Gold shaft mining, Stone mining, Stone shaft mining Lumber camp: Double-bit axe, Bow saw Farm: Heavy plow

@@genghis_aoe I think they are also affected by faith. But i could be wrong. I would switch that out from heavy plow (if not horse collar and heavy plow would also be upgrades).

@@Alchemist1330 He included heavy plow because it lets carry farmers +1.

@@hackbertgrutzkotz7653 Oh right. I wouldn't have caught that horse collar and crop rotation don't in fact affect villagers.

@@Alchemist1330 I would not include faith because then techs like herbal medicine and faith could be applied to the ratha as well, while heavy plow anly affects villagers. Also, the other farm techs do not affect villagers, only heavy plow (+1 carry capacity)

Meanwhile the Yu-gi-oh community when they see cards with Welsh names: "I'm not even attempting that"

Found the guy who doesn't watch anime. ;)

Mandatum?

@@tyranitararmaldo Wait, what cards in YuGiOh have Welsh names? One of the Noble Knights? I ain't remembering a Gruffydd ap Llywelyn in YuGiOh.

@@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor There's also the Generaider cards that have weird names to pronounce

Those jingles were also remastered in DE. I miss some of the old ones, though. The spanish "heya hey-yah" was epic

@@jacknumbertwo9647 I made a mod that replaces it, look for "Spanish Jingle" in the mods browser

​@@jacknumbertwo9647 Out of curiosity, can you check something for me? I have a vague memory that the jingles are still in the game when you select the civilisation in the history book section? I've not got my pc to check for a few days

@@mr_dnd I tried to go to the history tab but it doesn't seem that any jingles play when you click on a civ like it did pre-DE. I'll check again real quick

@@jacknumbertwo9647 thanks, that's a shame I must be confusing it with 2013 edition

How do they do dmg then..? How do they hit anything if their accuracy is 0%?

@@ZZubZZero - BEcause accuracy only applies to targets at a range greater than 1. In other words, all units have 100% accuracy at 1 range.

@@ZZubZZero In aoe2 if a unit misses, it's projectile is still shot, but not to the location where its target is, but a bit off. How far away exactly is determinedby a stat called attack dispersion. Fire galleys have 0 acuracy, but low attack dispersion, meaning the projectile is still fired relatively close to their target. Given that the target is likely a ship and their hitboxes are massive, this means that their projectiles still collide with the hitbox, so they deal full damage.

@@Tudsamfa does the dispersion ramp up the further the range is? Because I think when observed with Byzantines Fire Ship, the fire sometimes land on the next tile.

@@CrnaStrela It does not ramp up with the max range of the unit exactly, but with how far away the target is. So for targets 2 tiles or less away, they are just as accurate. You are right that the increased range of byzs fire galleys results in them missing more shots against targets in that increased range though.

It won't happen before Spirit uploads part 2 of this series, but we are due to get a whole bunch of 'new' civs later this year in the Return to Rome DLC. I say 'new' cos they'll be all the AoE 1 civs. Not sure how they'll go about it, but I look forward to finding out.

Can't decide what to call it 11

I'm a big breast enthusiast. I didn't either!

Well then here's a 'fun' history fact for you - you know that epic romantic tale told in the Jadwiga campaign? Well she was married to him when she was 12 and he was 35. Yep. The game gets around that fact using a classic storytelling trick - the time skip. :D

and tatars monk epic quote "AMGRIN IS GAY AMONG THE MEN"

@@SuperMewKittyKatGaming LOL XD. Another point to old RTS. You don't understand what are they saying and still have fun.

are you sure about that?

They play only for the host when the game countdown starts

Just double checked this and you’re right. Drav EA fire at 1.37 and Samurai fire at 1.47

I think when he said land his brain also went to/meant melee. As the other units standing next to the samurai were all melee

@@noynayru although he specified land units as opposed to water units, and I imagine he would've mentioned them at least if he thought of them. I imagine he'll correct (or disprove) this in the next part, it's understandable there might be 1 or 2 things he missed in a vid with ~20 different facts

Bulgarian kts/cavalier have reload time of 1.35

@@Redragonclaws actually u both r wrong😅,its the Bulgarian knight/cavalier at 1.35 and samurai is somewhere arnd 1.42 or 1.43 i believe 1.47 is quite a bit slower ,so samurai definitely dont attack at that rate

The original Spanish localization kind of had issues with that, as the line went from "Archer" ("Arquero") to "Crossbowman" ("Ballestero")... to "Crossbow" ("Ballesta"). It was changed to "Arbalest" ("Arbalesta") in HD, and finally to "Arbalestero" ("Arbalester") like in English, in Definitive Edition.

Wait what?? Is not Nahuatl??😢😢

I think most civs are speaking gibberish? It just sounds vaguely correct. The Vikings certainly don´t have old Norse voicelines.

@@Thetarget1 the Spanish do speak Spanish

@@gilb_4 Well, kind of. As a native spanish speaker I have never heard the phrase "hago, hago" as an ackowledmente (or any other way) outside AOE2 (English "I do, I do" I don't recall very popular either)

@@nemou4985 I take it's meant to be medieval Spanish.

It is, yep, and a lot of it is extremely damaged and prone to internal nationalism, fakes and forgeries within India. Such as the above. I.E. The Mancatcher being an Indian invention is something people are stating, but its one of those items that are close to impossible to classify an 'invention' to, as pretty much every region does the traditional 'police version' very early, and hunting versions go back before metalworking, whilst the European heavy-polearm versions seem unique to their specific cavalry issues. (Unrelated, catchpole, despite being something people say is an alternative name for a mancatcher, is actually a old English word having nothing to do with 'catching' or 'poles' rather, it is caecus pollus, or 'chicken chaser' and was a term for taxmen and later lawmen, who later ended up using...mancatchers.) (Or the more well known: almost every story about India from the Zeitgeist documentary is absurdly fake and made up entirely.)

La Hire wishes to kill something.

In AoE2 their architecture is the "Eastern European" one, shared with Magyars, Slavs, etc, I assume for medieval historical reasons. I feel it should be obvious from context that me and anyone else pointing that out when talking about AoE2 is not making a political statement about 20th/21st century Czech Republic.

It depends on the situation. Sometimes one extra range is more important than faster firing.

Always bodkin. 1 range and 1 attack is too good, especially the range. Can't deal damage if you can't reach enemy units.

If thumb ring is better for dps than bodkin, then id say there at least exist cases where it is better. The thing is you also need an archery range. In case you already have that, then its hard to imagine that you do not have any archers or skirmishers, for which you would prioritize bodkin anyway

Always bodkin. Ballistics should be prioritized over thumb ring. Being able to hit a moving target even if a bit inaccurate is more important.

Usually bombard cannons easily take out trebs. Even staying completely still, the cannon will probably take out the treb before the treb lands a direct hit. Risk is, that a treb can take out a cannon in one shot whereas a cannon needs several to take out a treb. Fire, move, fire typically works well.

The 15% might be a little misleading because of the cannons size
