_Crazy_ to me that AOE2 still sees development. Conqueror's was one of the earliest games I worked on, so the series has seen development longer than my entire ~20 year industry career! At Microsoft I was part of the "RECON" team that was basically a centralized playtesting team providing feedback on many games that went through MS Games at the time. As an AOE2 fan at the time, I was always hyped when we got a chance to play Conqueror's. We mostly tracked down multiplayer bugs (out of syncs), and also did a lot of campaign tuning (played that damn El Cid campaign on Hard so many times...) It surprised me that a friend from that team actually ended up working on AOE2: HD Edition in ~2013 (he was at Hidden Path Entertainment at the time).

Age of Empires 2 DE should have more violence and blood. I hope small updates in that direction will come. I also want to see skeletons on the ground, they are important to create an atmosphere. In addition what I do not like in Age Of Empires 2 DE: 1) They removed sounds of agony when a unit dies. 2) They removed corpse decomposition! Instead, the corpse is slowly falling deep underground, which is bad. 3) If a bowman or a spearman misses, the projectiles are no longer visible on the ground. 4) There is not enough blood!!! I hope that the game will be updated.

@xyzno1cancer 4 года назад

@@arkadiuszjandylewski152 They have to keep the game in the T rating sweet spot. These things might make the game rated M, which hurts it in more ways than you think. The real damage doesn't come from needing a fake birthday on Steam or parents being deterred, but from publicity, specifically social media algorithms, making the game way less exposed than it should be.

@scintillam_dei 3 года назад

There are five main problems with Rise of Nations that keep it from being as good as Age of Empires 2. 1. Inferior music. 2. No walls and therefore little creativity. 3. Endless resources make it too unrealistic. 4. My biggest problem with the game is that they use crayon lines for borders, sometimes expiring in less than a minute or in a few seconds. 5. When units cross the sea, they automatically and immediately go by transport ships that suddenly appear. Though convenient for the player (except when enemies do it), its speed is unrealistic and makes seas not obstacles at all which makes the map dull. And the sixth point is one I'm not sure of, since I don't even remember the map scenario but I think it's not on par with the one in AoE2.

@scintillam_dei 3 года назад

Nice review and exactly what I was looking for, wish your video was on the steam page for it. I will make one note, the shift click moving can be done in the hd version of the game It's just a little trickier to use than most rts. Shift click to place the flags and then let go of shift for the last click to get them to follow the command, I use it in every game for my scouts. What I would love to know is if they made this more intuitive in the definitive edition. :)

Some questions: 1) does workers still get stuck when building buildings close to each other such as houses? 2) can you rotate the camera? 3) does the cheat codes work for single player? 4) is the lag you experienced CPU or GPU bound? 5) does the AI take use of all the resources such as farming more and trading after cutting down all the trees and mining all the resources? 6) can we choose between aggressive and defensive opponents? And are they actually defensive if we chose that? Thanks for the great review 👍🏻

@KeimpeJ 4 года назад

I am not the videomakerguy, but i like to respond. 1. mostly not ;) 2. No, this would be a major departure from the setting. And the one view is more tactical in my humble opinion. 3) yes. 4) Depends on the settings, i personally did get rid off the fog of war animations (2 sliders) and i was good. Especially with the day one patch. The enhanced graphic dlc is quite demanding, more than is advertised. (not saying they are lying, i just cannot run the enhanced graphics very well. 5) Trading is still an issue, but i do notice they use the market. The new AI learns of how you play, it knows what to do when it has seen your weakness. It depends on the level of ai behaviour how well this is executed. 6) No we cannot, it depends on the playstyle of the Civ that is chosen. For instance Byzantians are known to be more defensive for the player. I found that to be true for the ai as well.

Some of these points seem to reflect the CD version of the game and not the HD edition on Steam, as the HD edition AI no longer cheat to improve difficulty and instead reflect the competitive community's play style, but not as much as mentioned for the Remastered version. The ability to tell a unit such as a scout to go on a set path was also present in HD edition by simply holding shift.

You could already queue units to walk a path with flags, you just had to right click to start it. It wasn't necessary to move scout one click at a time. I am really enjoying definitive edition.

trade pathfinding is MASSIVELY better and vill pathfinding is pretty good to. the Guard command being weird is honestly more a Guard command issue.

You could also zoom in with the original game though. Don't remember if it requires some tweaking (wouldn't suprise me though as i tried to tinker a lot with games back then ) but it is possible to do the zooming in and out Pravus!

Playing it for 15 yrs never thought I'd see the day when aoe4 would be released.

It warms my heart to see this game lives on. This is the true "support for decades" promised by lying "live service" developers. This is what it looks like when a game has an incredibly long lifespan, a long tail, because it's good. Because twenty years later, it's still well up there with the best strategy titles ever made.

No microtransactions, battlepasses, or pay to win (not sure how much counter strategies there are against dlc civs, but balance patches are a thing). Just DLCs and updates that add worthwhile content. A shining example of what a game should be.
