AGE OF EMPIRES IV | NORMAN CAMPAIGN - PART 1 - William the Conqueror 

When I was 6 my dad brought me age of empires 3 demo, I still play it till this day and I am 15

This brought back memories of the game I use to play called stronghold Legends. I use to stay up and just build up massive castles and control both sides building each kingdoms armies up for massive fights. Those where the days. Then came the total war games I found and a new era of warfare began for me. Thank you for this video you had me reminiscing my child hood🙂

Those cut scene videos and graphical work on the scenes is probably the most interesting I’ve ever seen. Honestly the team that worked on this game did a great job.

I remember being back in 2004 when I was 8 playing age of empires 2 and being so excited for 3 and I thought it had gone away forever. Never I would have never imagined that 10 years later I would see like new expansions and a new sequel

Just for future reference you will want a lot more economy. Usually in AOE games you build almost exclusively villagers for the first while (with a few troops to defend or raid the enemy). 100-150+ villagers is not uncommon and you can always delete villagers later for military population room. AOE is about having a better economy than the other guy as 9 times out of 10 a better economy means better/more troops and then you win the game.

They should make a documentary , those intros are amazingly shot.

This is great! Glad to hear you're having as much fun playing it as I am watching it!

I'm glad you're liking the game man! looking forward for more content on AOE

Still remember playing age of empires when I was around 6-7 years old, got all the extras as they came out alongside the new games and still play them 20 years on ahhhh the feels 😭

Age of empires 2 was the first online game I played 20+ years ago

Omg why have I only just seen the best game of my childhood on PC has just cone out this is exciting! Looking forward to following these episodes Pixi

Pretty cool, looking forward to more of this campaign.

RtS are what got me into history. Can't wait to learn from your series!

First computer game I ever played was age of empires I love this game and will definitely be downloading it on payday

I would love to see more episodes of this new entertaining and epic game. Keep it up man💪🏻

Apollo: lets just spam barracks Me: but Apollo, your archers have like 5 guys. Plus that Scout is just chilling in the trees.

hello! I loved age of empires as a kid/youth. Childhoodmemories! It helped me to succeed in history in school.

Anglo-Saxons be like: The Normans are terrorising all of England and it's time for us to fight back.

Like SunZu once said "this must be a series"

In AoE2 you needed to build a specific building to be able to advance ages like a blacksmith or market. I like how the be landmark thing provides a perk for each landmark choice akin to picking gods in Age of Mythology

I’ve watched you for a long time man, but I’ve got to be honest.. I think this is the first time you played without tactics.. it was painful to watch. But still love the videos man! Keep it up!

I live in Hastings we actually go there every year and watch a reenactment

Just some random William guy sipping English Tea .

It has been two years since I’ve heard hello knights of Apollo

Coolest intro ever for an RTS

what i liked the most about AoE 3 was the realism... The ragdolls send flying by the cavalry as they charge in and so on. this just feels like plain old arcade

Bro I played part 2 and it was awesome the details they put for every age.

I think they should add a Cossack regiment if would definitely be good as they were some of the best cavalry Napoleon himself said "Give m the Cossacks alone and I will take over Europe with them (NTW3)

oh god he's playstyle is truly pixelated 8b

This would make a good series!

The actual place of the slaughter is the road junction in the nearby town of "Battle", East Sussex. Yeah its calls Battle for a reason. Time team even proved it.

What are your settings...are you using w a d for navigation... please share your control settings.

Thus is so cool, I love your vids

Ah yes the famous battle of Hastings fought by 200 red and blue guys

Keep it up Apollo

Thank goodness the game and guide were carrying you otherwise you would have lost ten times over

I am gonna enjoy this alot

Apollo just gave me an itch by spamming melee infantry in the midgame, and also sending the cav into enemy melee infantry. Hahaha. The battle would have been shorter had the cav been sent to go after the archers after the infantry of both sides clash. Age of Empires 1/2/3/4 = rock

I hope there will be more of age of empires 😍

My 2060 goes up to its max heat and throttles for some reason with this game. No lagg, but the fans go full 100%. Only game it happens with.

So hard to watch lmao but I love you Apollo!

We download it from apple store or google play ?

I foresaw that happening as soon as u kept your troops in the north

quick question did he quit total wazr roem 2

yes my man

Me and my friend emlyn played aoe 2 and 3 since we were 5 years old in kindergarden and we are 15 now and we both bought aoe 4 but havnet tried it yet bc of school

The second mission 'North to York' is set in 1069. *Noice*

I struggled with food too till I noticed a market in second town and buy food

I always routed for big Willy

I hope this comes to console if not I need a pc so I can play this this looks so good and I love games like this

Damn apollo i would really really like to watch the wideo but i dont want spoilers cos im gonna buy it myself so if u could just do a faction overview cos thats something i coyld watch(sorry for my bed england xD)

al lot of William soldiers died on the way to London due to extremally bad dysentery

Love that they are actually speaking norman (at least thats what i understood because its similar to french but not french)!

my dad waited ages for this game

Is it weird all I can think about are the parallels between real history and A Song of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones.

Nice

dopee

I had played AoE3 when I was young when I went to cuisines but now I have the game I just can't play it for I don't have a computer

I wish xbox was gonna be able to play this. I got excited when I saw that this was on game pass. Till I realized only for PC

Sir Apollo the Conqueror

it reminds me of the medieval 2 tutorial

This looks amazing! I wish there was a chance to play this on MacBook

Time to grab some food

nice

Can someone explain to me what language these units in the game are speaking when you click on them? I understands some lines but other lines sounds like I am in the SIMS game.

I found out 2 years ago I’m a great descendent of William the conqueror

Im waiting age of empires with a modern battle. So i'm back to playing COH2 until age of empires with modern battles come out.

I hope we can get another multiplayer live stream

I wonder how much it changed?

Im a northerner smack bang where the rebellion happened. William was a monster in his retaliation and it bothered him for the rest of his life. He decimated the area in what became known as the harrying of the North in what was basically genocide. The after effect was recorded in the Doomsday book with once vibrant highly populated Manors being described as 'waste' each with only a handful of residents left. My own village was also waste with only 2 residents left. It took a decade for the area to recover and on his deathbed William was supposed to of repented with thes words " Ive persecuted the natives of England beyond all reason , wether gentle or simple. I have cruelly oppressed them and unjustly disinherited them. Ive killed innumerable multitudes by famine or the sword and become the barbarous murderer of many thousands of both young and old of that fine race of people " This confession is up for debate if William really said it or it was propaganda of the years after his death. Either way i believe it tells the truth of the horrific events that happened either from his own lips or the memory of the locals who invented the propaganda.

I am descended from William the Conquerers mother.

You just bilded a farm in the senter of the road 😂😂😂

You definitely had to build buildings in aoe2 to advance to the next age...

Nice game

How you are progressing so fast

Yeahhh 🇲🇽

Hi like this

Once it's out , Manor Lords will end AOE4 .

my son, u need to learn a lot. A lot.

7:29 based off of the stream yesterday, yes. yes i can lol.

Where the duck is part 2

im interested

Why can't we play as the normans in skirmish?

All these EU peasants and soldiers from all over Europe uniting under William's banner lol, truly a continental effort

PixelatedApolloHi hello 👋 welcome back 👍 cool PixelatedApollook✨yes yes cool 🤩 ✨

Archers mate

#TEAM SEAS

More age of empires 4 more

#Teamseas

Well the game obviously doesn’t know it’s history it’s in actual fact the normans we’re losing and their morale was broken which caused them to retreat since they also thought they had lost William in the battle which he had to remove his helmet to show to his troops he was alive whilst this happened the saxons broke ranks and sallied forth to attack only to be cut down by the Norman cavalry and the regrouping infantry in the end King Harold the Saxon was killed being shot in the eye by an arrow and having his elite bodyguard the housecarls fight to the death surrounding his body until they two succumbed to death the retreat was not intentional but was a mass route which turned into a regrouping as they figured their leader was alive sadly

Everytime i see battle like this, i remind myself that imperial china has been doing battles in millions, even though it was 1200 years before this battle 😂

I literally seen this vid upload In front of my eyes lol

Are you going to play more "Lord of the Rings" ?
