I am going to Mexico at the end of this year! VIsiting Lots of Zoptec/Aztec/Mayan ruins and its Spanish colonial Structure! As a result, I will play AOE 2: The Conquerors music during my trip! This can let me feel the history of Beautiful Mexico!
Greeting from Mexico! My dream finally comes true! i'm playing this song during my trip in Mexico! What a Beautiful country and I'm in love with it! it's Ancient mixed with Hispanic/modern Cultures and also History, food, drinks and the people....The ruins are so amazing
I started to play when I was 6 years old, and I played until I was 12 years old. Then my father took the game from me, because I played it too much. I have not played in two years now, but I will buy Definitive Edition.
I have to stop listening in a few minutes. Otherwise I will lose all perception of the outside universe and nothing will be able to free me from this endless loop of nostalgia. All those hundreds of hours I played... Thousands probably... I'm already seeing various scenarios in my head... Trying to cross the Sea of Worms... Holding off the Japanese invading Korea... Building up a multiwave force to attack the Byzantines... Escorting Joan of Arc... Building an empire in a randomly generated map... Fighting the British with William Wallace... Doing a series of tasks for the Mongol tribes and sending all the sheep I can find to the blue one... Surviving the opening of the scenario with Henry V, frantically telling everyone to stay put... Trying to figure out how in the world I'm supposed to destroy all the castles in Kyoto - I never did finish that one... THESE ARE THE BEST LONG-TERM STRATEGY GAMES EVER!
Remember that time your island on random map got overrun, and you barely made it out with four villagers, a knight, and three pikemen, and came back with an armada an hour later? Yeah...
I really like 27:29 onwards..... this is my favourite one... possible because I'm Irish and Celtic, this Celtic tune is resonating through my very soul!
Don't know if you listen to much Celtic music, but you should listen to The Dubliners, The High Kings, Gaelic Storm, The Pogues, etc. if you haven't heard their music before
Awesome :) I've never been to Ireland sadly, but I love the music and the culture. My ancestry is primarily Irish and Scottish with some English and Welsh thrown in. Also learning how to speak Irish atm, pretty fun.
Folks, who else here has learned much of their history because of these games...? Who else has a unique aspect to your character since it's release (unique aspect= 'internal entrenchment' to history, respect and liking for things of old, a facet to your mindset/ soul that basically aids in who you are- meaning, a resonation within-side you that is a beckoning from this computer game)? On a simpler note, who hums this shit to themself?
I woke up my interest in history because of Age of Empires, now history is a really big part of my life, all thanks to the game that I played when I was 8 years old, I love it.
Lol smart dude It's awesome, isn't it? It's every bit of it; historical accuracy, gameplay, setup for design, overall feel; all of it. I just am not saying how awesome it really is
It is awesome, indeed, sometimes I like to get out of the routine and play these games instead of just shooting a gun in GTA. These kind of games, talking about Age of Empires or Empire Earth, make you think about things, and make you see the world in another perspective. It's sad that we won't have an Age of Empires 4...
I started playing AoE 2 back when I was either 4 or 5 on my family's tan computer. I loved it so much that I memorized all the songs and knew exactly which song came next in the list during gameplay. After thousands of hours I still play it to this day. I'm 21 now, almost 22.
El mejor de todos, el padre de los juegos de estrategia, el juego que nunca superaran, el puto amo, lo mejor que pudieron crear, wolololo, el más jugado en los cyber, noooo la maravilla no, el juego que nunca muere, el mejor de la saga, el más cabron, no me toques, y si sigo nunca terminaré, te daría un hijo Ensemble Studios.
It's crazy, I see myself ten years ago listening to that. I watched my father play, I thought it was exciting, I loved that. I feel reliving my childhood ... Now all has changed, nothing is as before. I am so sad and melancholy. But thank you very much for that :)
i used to click on my buildings and villagers to make music with these songs, going to he beats while clicking on houses, ill never forget those noises, probably because 10 years later i still do it.
Solution for the Music: Aoe2 uses, like many old games, the CD Audio part of a disc for music. There's a special cable just for this going from the CD/DVD drive right to the sound card. Most modern computers don't have this cable connected , people don't use cd drives to play audio cds anymore. Some don't even have this feature. What you need to do is download the soundtrack and convert it to mp3 (or just use this video, it doesn't matter) and let it play in the background when playing the game, this is what I do. I also have global hotkeys enabled in Winamp so I can go to next/prev song with ctrl+alt+ left/right arrows while I'm ingame.
- Playing as goth, able to counter almost everything: archers, knights, infantry... - AI plays as Teutons and attacks with hundreds of Monks and Teutonic Knights - I die
It's being sold dirt cheap on Steam right now. You can buy AoE2 HD (both AoK and TC) for about $6.79 off Steam right now, and it runs perfectly on pretty much any OS, even windows 8. I bought it five days ago off Steam and love it. Knowing Steam sales, it might be even cheaper than that now.
>Playing as Turks. >Recruiting some villagers hazir? tamam. Oduncu.. evet? yaprim. Cifti.. >recruiting soldiers and order to attack enemy infantry nearby efendim? ileri ! saldir ! allah allah !
The soundtrack of my angsty teenage years and nowadays of my Sunday chores. Now, if you excuse me I have to sweep, mop, laundry, build barracks, a Marvel and attack an enemy building
I sometimes catch myself whistling a song and I never know what it is. It's the bagpipe song Neep Ninny-Bod from this game! Man, crazy how it's so engrained in my mind, but I did play the heck out of this game. Glad I can finally remember how I know this song!
the first dota managed to make a new genre based on rts, but actually is not considered rts since you can't control more units than your character :v and you didn't answered my question... why not those?
This is the best addition to aoe game itself best civilization addition. And best of the conquests. I waited for around a month to get this game as a child. I still play it.
I actually use this music for studying too. There's something about it that inspires me to be creatively productive. Perfect for staying focused while writing papers. Says the girl commenting on a RU-vid video while she's supposed to be writing a paper.
12:18 is my fav. Hits right when things start getting interesting. Nothing beats the nostalgia of getting an RM game going on Yucatan for the first time back in August 2008 and hearing this soundtrack play through..
Welp! There goes my childhood! Also the fact that this game helped me pass like SO many tests at school....who knew that one of my most favorite games would be so helpful for school!
This brings back so many memories from a happy childhood. Me and my bestie would go home to him after school and play this on his family computer. Remember that they only let us play for an hour and the shouting from downstairs to quit the game and go outside to play. Must have been back in 2003 or something, we were just 8 years old when we played this masterpiece! The memories these sounds bring back are just amazing and sometime sad, I really wish I could return to relive those moments and appreciate them more then we did. We really thought we had all the time in the world....
This is a neverending repeat when you pause the game and when you've been hearin this stuff for, what, 10 years now, that's when you start playing it on the piano or whatever instrument you play. My dad used to play and we'd always watch and tell him to press the idle villager button. One day I decide to give the Learning Campaign a shot and here I am now. This soundtrack is definitely lodged in my brain.
This entire soundtrack is my entire childhood, me and my brother playing AoE 2 was the best thing ever, every part of this soundtrack reminds me of somthing we normally whould do on a gamplay, for example 21:46 reminds me of my brother wandering around with a boat, this entire soundtrack is so good, me and my brother where always interested in history related games, this is the best one and i will never forget the experience, the nostalgia this game gives me is almost like minecraft's songs
