If they made everything the actual size, I'd replay the heck out of every campaign available.
The size of already existing castles is already accurate, Castles weren't that big in reality
@@stefanandrejcik571 "were" :))) I see after your name you are czech, in your country there are still quite a few castles and england aswell.
@@raulcalimann7738 actually slovak, but no they weren't big like we have Spis Castle and that one is biggest in Europe, other castles I have been to in my country are small
@@stefanandrejcik571Actually the biggest castle in Europe (and also the world) is the castle in Malbork, Poland. It's over three times bigger than Spiš castle. Spiš is about 5th in Europe.
@@Derrek84 rly well then but my point still stands average castles aren't that big
I like to think of the Castle building as more of a keep, that could be part of a complete castle with additional walls and towers built around it
So you want to play Stronghold :)
Exactly, its more of a fast build fortress a whole real castle would need more walls and towers and inside buildings
@@thatonedude6247 exactly like Stronghold.
that's how it is in aoe2, it's just named wrongly
@ absolutely
Fun fact, in the age of empires 2 alpha a lot of buildings were HUGE
Especially the cathedral that’s bigger than my monitor screen. 😮
you versus the castle she tells you not to worry about
Killer comment 😂😂😂❤
Hahaha
its not about the size but the HP
jajajajajaj

God that music brings back so many goosebumps
Worth 650 stone for that one.
That one actually costs 6500 stone...
@@varunmanjunath9123 on the plus side you can garrison half your population in it
@@RennieAsh 11
I always thought 650 stone was cheap and easy for a castle.
@@varunmanjunath9123 11 elephant ? I would take it
I like to think of the units as representing groups of soldiers
Everything is highly abstracted. The game spans roughly 700 years of time, based on the aesthetics and name of each Age
Same
I always thought so too
Like in advance wars, 1 infantry unit is a group of 5 soldiers for example
Reminds me of Praetorians or CoH. You can't select an individual soldier. They're already attached to a platoon or battalion
They really gotta add a castle so big that it'll secure the whole particular dynasty area. It needs to be like real life
Just add a few extra ranks of castle, each one is 4X the size and 4X the stone. And the biggest one requires a minimum of 12 builders.
In that case, they'd also need to make all maps massive and increase population limits to tens of thousands or more for the sake of realism.
Not every castle is like that in real lif though. And in some sense what you are refering to is a "castle keep" or we sometimes refer to it as simply a keep. Donjon was more for the knights and military units. I am not an expert but my point is, the castles in game are the type of castles that sheltered people in times od war only" which is what happens in the game when you garrison it with vils"
I can see them trying to add a castle with a castle keep and shit but then that's a whole different structure AND it is not much different than building your own walls amd towers anyway.
The reason age of empires walls don't give you the " keep/castles feel" is probably because you can't get on top of the walls with archers and shit, come to think of it there was an insanely good strategy game in the old days where troops could standon walls, climb walls and shit like that although i don't remember the name.
@@ryanforgo3500stronghold? You can have units on walls
This reminds me that in the alpha, the castle was pretty big and was mostly just a keep with walls around it. The AoE2 feels like a compact castle.
Yet still the same amount of elephants can be garrisoned as villagers.
Gimli insisted.
Dude that sack is bigger than the fully clad knight himself
"Do you really want to know it's contents?"
True. The second castle would have actually sufficed if you look at the entrance and the windows, at least if you go by the average central-European castle (for which you’d already have to ignore that they usually aren’t built so compactly.
Still, cool video.
What's inside the sack?
what about that giant shield on the wall?
Imagine if aoe 4 was on this scale. I feel it was a wasted opportunity to have the sizes of the cities, armies, and battles stay on the same scale as 2 and 3. They could have made it bigger.
As imposing as it looks, it makes sense that things were scaled down for game clarity, especially with the old sprites.
Imagine destroying that with one single archer. 🏹
East Asian castle type being made of mostly wood: Boy, I sure hope our foes don't use incendiary projectiles.
Briton Longbowmen go brrrrrrrrr
@@timothymartensen9040 brrrrr go the chu ko nu actually
I've always dreamed about the right size of the buildings!! Really nice vid friends!!! Keep it up!
Lord Farquaad’s Castle 😂
I'd say he's compensating for something 😅
This is what i have always wanted in AOE and AOM
You’d be surprised how unplayable that would make the game. Try playing the original game resolution where barely more than 2 buildings fit on your screen.
There's Always AoE1 for Building Sizes.
The first one became a barbie doll house
Aw man I had secretly hoped the Teutonic Knight was just tiny
Teu tiny for teutown
I'm going to need half of my population mining on that stone pronto
The second one looks good. Not too smol, not too big.
Second one big? Yeah yeah yeah. It‘s not smol? No no no.
Just Right
Ive always wanted it with just a small tweak around building and unit size, just units a touch smaller and buikding a bit larger and itd be perfect
Why are the frames in the walking animation so perfect? Isn't this AoE2?
They re released the game with updated graphics.
I hope can resize all buildings in AoE I, all buildings in AoE I is too small compared to people
And this drawbridge laying on the grass.
The music bring back lot of memories
Fever dream be like :
Need a civ with giant castles
I would love a mod like that
You would prefer your castle cover your whole map or your units be really tiny?😂😂
I tried to make one recently but graphics mods are hardd rn as they recently changed their file format. Maybe when .sld files become editable I'll try again
@@user-hg6rt7yg2q starcraft 2 has one pretty cool
@@dejake_aoe yeah its straight bogus
@@user-hg6rt7yg2q i'd actually like to play with tiny units, only to have the satisfaction of seing real proportions
Damn I love that music! My first RTS game.
Britons castle is so big I didn't realized
that's not Britons
Britons are red
this is Scots castle
@@enPassantWarrior9047 owww
The castle in game is realistic, the castles are big but the average castle is not so big.
The largest one has a bag that could fit five people in it.
The small/actual size still makes sense if the porticulus only needs to fit people on foot, not horsemen.
how did you do this
It's a mod that we can't find on the mod centre, and so far Mike hasn't told us what mod it is or how to make them :)
@@DeJakeany update on this?
Developers should need unique castle for all Civilization.
Yes i always felt their buildings were too small ...
Remember AoE2 is the "least bad" among all AoE games (including AoM) in that regard
I remember playing AOE2 for the first time and seeing the villagers walk under the tarp at the town center and I was like 🤯
That is a huge sack...
Castles are my most favourite buildings
The thing is, I’m rts games I always consider 1 unit multiple, especially in Aoe as huge battles were thought with thousands of men back
Then. So one unit is really a whole group
Damn i would play this
You’d be surprised how unplayable that would make the game. Try playing the original game resolution where barely more than 2 buildings fit on your screen.
Relly i love this song, aubsolutly a master piece!
Finally
Some that makes sense
Wow the small one looks like a fort.
In the actual sized castle, I notice a bag/sack that is bigger than the soldier.😮
This why I always hated the idea of building castle in 8 seconds and destroying them in 2
No way the castles would be built of massive stone bricks, those bricks are HUGE
Stronghold sire welcome milord
I didn't knew I needed this in the game but now I do.

Lol the last one.... the sack is bigger than the T Knight
Checking the caption, I thought the knight was going to try to hang on a boat in the cold waters but eventually he would sink to let the others survive
Thank you, may God bless you all and everyone. ❤
And honestly the third castle would only be the main entrance at most. Extend it 5 times to the sides and square it, and then you get a castle.
Imagine how difficult it would be to play if all buildings were actual size compared to a villager
That soundtrack, i really have to download aoe2 again
Hey now we all know the teutonic night is juggernaut
i wish games would do this more.
imagine total war with armies of 50,000.
elder scrolls with actual cities and huge landscapes between.
maybe AI will take us there
Bro finally some one makes a aoe2 video
This is one of the things i love of american conquest
I would always wait till I could build a wonder.. and that was my king’s castle. Until then he only deserved fortress castles lol
Well it depends. Castles came in different sizes
If they had Big Mode I'd play

That always bothered me along with transport ships and houses
Arambai miss the shot
so much bigger than cathedral then

StarCraft did this and the science vessel was huge!
This is actually more like it!
it was a genuinely inspired move to have our king character that so many of us grew up with walk from the original familiar castle model past an amazingly bigger castle, then finally to the actual-scale one.
that's how you get the views. little touches of relatable relativity. good luck in the future.
I think that’s a Teutonic knight
Remember to pick a civilisation with reduced stone status to build castles faster
Lol it went from small castle to gigantic sack of grain and gigantic ladders on top 😂
Make every unit 50 percent size, works wonders for realism
You want to make a tiny building mod?
@@DeJake No tiny units half of their size now buildings stays same
@@rhk199 Does range stay the same or does that reduce too? Otherwise archers fire double the distance
@@MattDoesSound range stays same, Essentially size of units is turned to half of what now
@@rhk199 That would literally not work since you boost all ranged units and devalue all the melee units.
Wow if only aoe4 was like sort of top down massive more to-scale like this with epic journeys ans cities and never gonna happens
Entire Map will Loose Space
I would love to play this mode
Barbarossa's Campaign
Barbarossa' Teutonic Knight: Your Imperial Majesty in order to croos the river we need to empound to ground that Titanic Castle over there 🙈
Re salut existe t-il une vidéo sur RUclips âge of empire VS stronghold et âge of VS pharaons ? Merci ++ ( voir aussi les anciens jeux vidéo de stratégie civilisation et césar ).
Im pretty sure actual castles dont use human sized bricks
Yeah on this scale the last castle is a skyscraper.
This is awesome man so creative
Thats a small teutonic knight
When you compare the stone brick size it's kinda off. To big for a medieval castle.
Now hit against it to make it burn.
Is there any mod available?
No match for saboteurs💪
Я бы с такими размерами прошёл бы полностью.
Это игра детства и я её очень много раз проходил
Is this a mod ? Real sized structures in aoe 2 would make an awesome time
And here I am, annoyed by the fact that mill and farm size doesn't match each other 😂😂😂
This shouldn't even annoy you with how easy it is to stick the farms to the mill anyway without empty space
I mean in real life, castle were just that huge
Then how do huskarls break them with swords 😞
Allow team game players to lay 4 castle foundations and build a mega castle
Ey Mike could you please tell how did you manage to make those castle grow up? I am arranging a project on the editor of a big city and that might be handy
It's a mod that we can't find on the mod centre, and so far Mike hasn't told us what mod it is or how to make them :)
some castles still not viewed 😅
Look at how mini he is!!!
Keep it super simple : " I'll start with a black garlic" yeah, right
Guess the castle being big is cool and all BUT HOLLY SHIT, thats a big sack!
Teuton elite solder❤
C'mon a teutonic knight cannot be smaller than the sack of grain inside the 3rd castle😳
Celt castles would be one tower and one tenth the size
