Unit Counters - AoE DE Beginner Guide 

I dont know why but Age 1 remain my favorite. It just has a charm to it for me. Ancient weapons in it.

Ahh... AOE1... When every civ had Teutonic Knights.

One more thing: Slinger has a damage bonus against buildings. Don't know the exact number but i'm sure it's there.

Teutonic Knight is the son of the Centurion

Ur on spirit of the laws upcoming aoe youtubers, well done!

Nice video but you left out the most important unit: Wololo man

Thank you for this guide. Finally i understand what i am doing in aoe de. I am sure you put a lot of afford in doing this video.

composite bowmen are one of my favourite units. I never build swordsmen. In original aoe, I often avoided the ballista tower upgrade, because the towers fire so much slower, so can easily be outmicroed. It's slightly less bad in DE, but still has some effect.

Where do you find the "bonus damage" stats? Is there a site that lists all these hidden stats?

Great Video JREd ;). Keep em coming.

Great video. This is really well done, SotL level of infovideo

Thanks for making this video. Very insightful and helpful.

nice video i was searching guide for aoede but no way i found you thank you :)

In this case, is scythe chariot, not scythian Was battle chariots with spinning blades (in this case scythe blades, you know, the ones used to harvest cereals). They existed historically, but died out because the driver had to guide the horse directly adjacent to the enemy forces to be effective. And any guy with a spear could either thrust it between the spocks (and either block the wheel, break the wheel, or break the spear), or shut down the horses. Aaand because after stronger horses were bred, capable of carrying an armoured rider, chariots kind of died out for the sake of manuverability and speed. EDIT: corrected mistakes

Scythe. Like the weapon. The Y makes the long I sound and the E is silent. Helepolis. Possibly just a spelling error.

What a great video you did ! Thank you bro :)

I still make slingers in the iron age. I play as the greeks, once fully upgraded they do wonders to support my hoplites.

Thanks for the video, it's very useful

Quality aoe1 content. Hell yeah

Great video. Very helpful.

great information. thank you.

instead of calvary you now write cavlary, not sure if it's an improvement or not 11

Great chanel!

Very good montage.

I pretty much go with academy units, Cavalry and some artillery to damage my enemies economy. Cavalry defends the Phalanx against range or fast units and priests and maintains order for the Phalanx which obliterates pretty much everyone else including elephants

Nice guide. One thing, though: it's not "heliòpis", it's "helépolis", from the greek helein (to take, conquer...) + pòlis (city).

It would be nice to tell us about the bonus damange a unit does to another one. I mean, we know bowmen deal bonus damange to axemen, but we dont know how much bonus damange they will do to them

This video is useful again, its getting fixed!

thanks so much

Now since the last update scout can auto attack so now it's maybe a possibility to make them for a combat unit

Very nice content. Show us how to use monks, pls :)

What's better definitive edition or original HD edition aoe2 kings conquerors

Great video, but you forgot to say that chariots have extra damage versus priest and extra conversion resistance.

I started with Age of empires 3 was the first time I saw it as a person who loves history I decided to get all three night before last for $25 on steam . Although I been struggling with a mission because it won’t let you pass a certain age and which building are the Stone Age so I spend resources on stuff I don’t need to figure out which building I need to upgrade to the next age could I get some assistance? Colonization of lonia is the mission name

You forgot about the main advantage of the chariot and chariot archer. Priests

6:02 in my opinion its the opposite... Chariots counter Composit archers

What about ships?

when I modded the steam DE, I made Improved Bowmen actually be a bit stronger, and Composite Bowmen mere MUCH Stronger, (More of everything, Except Speed of course), you may ask. why make improved Bowmen?, the reason, is because of how much stronger I made Composite Bowmen, I also made them require Iron Age, meaning in my game, Improved Bowmen saw more useage

So... Hoplites are Teutonic Knights? 11

"Cavalry strong highly armoured unit" - 0 armor xD

where's the navy?

i am an ancap so i will never build a government building

Scouts are meant to be used to scout and are none combat units. Aoe AI 'ARE U SURE ABOUT THAT' As it sends an army of scouts toward my base.

5:56 "highly armored" unit with 0 armor

AOE1 the game were you mass horse archer every game to win against every unit in a nutshell. Vs melee or horse melee units? kite all day.. vs foot archer? horse archer have better stats. Vs balista? kite/dodge even elephant archer cat beat horse archer. In AOE2 the devs were like.. wait let's not make the same mistake again. *Adds* skirmishers among toher units

If your videos are based on the ages on AoE2, you're on the Castle Age :D

3;21 HOW DID YOU DO THAT

Nice but you are missing priests!

Too bad Age of Empires 1 Definintve Edition had no new expansion packs unlike AOE2DE and AOE3DE, we could have seen more civilizations, units and even some reworks to the older civilizations. Upgrade Units Elite Slinger: Bronze age upgrade that slightly increases damage, health, pierce armour and range. Some civilizations gaining a faction trait that allows them to stay viable even in the Iron Age. One civilisation rework I would like to see is that for the Greek slingers have +2 extra attack damage as a reference to the famed slingers of Rhodes which were some of the most highly prized mercenaries during the ancient world. This would be great for the Greeks as they currently lack viable early and mid game range units Armoured Camlery: Iron Age upgrade to the Camel Rider. Camel Riders currently in game are useless past the bronze age, this upgrade would allow them to stay viable against Iron Age cavalry units and elephants Battle Axeman: A bronze age upgrade to the axeman that replaces the one handed stone head axe with a two handed bronze head axe. I am going to re-imagine the axeman line a high damage but low health trash infantry that ignores melee armour. The will be further upgrades for the Battle Axeman in the iron age called the Falxman which replaces the two handed axe with a Falx which was a real life weapon from antiquity, that looked like a scythe and was used by both Dacian and Thracian tribesmen which proven extremely effective against the heavy infantry of the Romans. I also think there should be an ultimate upgrade to Falxman called the Champion. Light Cavalry: A bronze age upgrade to the scout

nice video but it seems you forgot camel riders

"the horse archer is toucher" 69 hp yes I know it's better but idk

Counters are the reason why hittites are so bad against cartagenians.

scouts are insanely good at killing villagers tho

Not sure there's a counter for mass heavy catapults. Massive range, 150 hp, massive attack, massive area of effect, they are affected by ballistics... lol

this game needs some balance changes. Some units are way too good compared to others. and some units just suck. like bowmen or scout.

Not exactly a counter if you need large numbers of a unit to work.... Tbh the only actual counters that get bonus damage are: Slingers vs archers/towers Camels vs horse Chariot vs priest In competative terms this game is extremely different compared to AoE2 and there aren't counters for things like Armoured Elephants, maybe mass siege.

Horse Archers Will Always Remain Over Powered..

Debating on buying aoe1 or aoe2 again... Hmm

Cavlary? More like Kevlary

Where is your accent from lol

I don't like AOE1 because units are OP and defensive techs are horrible. It is a broken game and on DE they didn't fixed this.

Ew nobody wants to micro manage their troops... About to go barf up this bs

seethee chariots. noted. never knew it was pronounces like that haha
