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.
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 😭
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
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
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
French Language at that time was not unified anyway. But Norman French was apart from the "Langues d'Oïl", which included as many other types of Old French from differents regions of the North of France (Picards, Angevins, Poitevins, Bourguignons, Champenois, Franciens, Wallon, Lorrain, Franc-Comtois, Gallo, Mainiot... and including Normands etc ...)
@@milanotovic8223 At that time, Old French was quite close to Latin. Anyway, whether it's Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Occitan, Catalan Romanian, etc... they are basically all Vulgar Latin with various influences depending on the country.
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)
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.
Wow its terrible, i know it was clearly a genocide (intended or not) but wow, horrible. The Normans surely were hated by the following centuries, them and their language.' I wonder if in the game, they speak old norman or use old french for the customized norman faction (only in tutorial)
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.
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!
Age of Empires has always been a PC only game. Plus most of the controls wouldn't translate well on console controls. Yes there's games like Halo Wars, but that RTS game is heavily simplified so it can play on consoles.
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
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.
Me too!!!!!!! I was wondering tje same question, thats why i was reading many comments, scrolling for minutes, expecting an enlighted one saying "Pfff, this is not old norman, this is old french, stupid producer of making a customized faction" And stranger as it might sound, i came to see this video after watching the RUclipsr: History with Hilbert, viking french as i wanted to look/hear how it sounded because most subjects on normans don't mention their writings (The Video i was talking about, i think you might find it interesting and maybe you could know better than i to conclude what language does the normans speak in the tutorial) ruclips.net/video/I5Hh2s7iahI/видео.html
Me too!!!!!!!!!! Im checking almost all comments to see if there an enlightened one that says "Pfff, they speak old french, not old norman" And strangely enough, i got interested into this video after watching the RUclipsr "History with Hilbert"
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)
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 😂
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

When I was 6 my dad brought me age of empires 3 demo, I still play it till this day and I am 15
@Hanaey💦 wtffff
Same thing with Midieval 2 except I was 8. 15 as well. I have been playing Kingdom Come deliverance over total war recently
Oh man.....I'm from the AoE classic age.......damnit I'm old 😭
@@jeremiah2412 you get your 1st copy in a packet of cheerios too? Haha
It's very encouraging that there are RTS players that young.

This is great! Glad to hear you're having as much fun playing it as I am watching it!
They should make a documentary , those intros are amazingly shot.
I'm glad you're liking the game man! looking forward for more content on AOE
Age of empires 2 was the first online game I played 20+ years ago
My first was C&C Westood .!
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 😭
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.
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
Like SunZu once said "this must be a series"
Anglo-Saxons be like: The Normans are terrorising all of England and it's time for us to fight back.
Pretty cool, looking forward to more of this campaign.
Just some random William guy sipping English Tea .
I live in Hastings we actually go there every year and watch a reenactment
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
Ah yes the famous battle of Hastings fought by 200 red and blue guys
That’s why it was so historical 😂
How else would u do it in a game
hello! I loved age of empires as a kid/youth. Childhoodmemories! It helped me to succeed in history in school.
Coolest intro ever for an RTS
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

exactly
Love that they are actually speaking norman (at least thats what i understood because its similar to french but not french)!
Its old french, the ancestor of modern french

I can speak Italian and it sounds like vulgar latin to me.

oh god he's playstyle is truly pixelated 8b
It has been two years since I’ve heard hello knights of Apollo
So hard to watch lmao but I love you Apollo!
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.
Thank goodness the game and guide were carrying you otherwise you would have lost ten times over
yes my man
Bro I played part 2 and it was awesome the details they put for every age.
What are your settings...are you using w a d for navigation... please share your control settings.
Keep it up Apollo
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.
I believe most of the inspirations for GoT is War of the Roses.
This would make a good series!
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
Age of Empires has always been a PC only game. Plus most of the controls wouldn't translate well on console controls. Yes there's games like Halo Wars, but that RTS game is heavily simplified so it can play on consoles.
Thus is so cool, I love your vids
PixelatedApolloHi hello 👋 welcome back 👍 cool PixelatedApollook✨yes yes cool 🤩 ✨
The second mission 'North to York' is set in 1069. *Noice*
Once it's out , Manor Lords will end AOE4 .

AOE always been a arcade RTS similar to Starcraft.
I am gonna enjoy this alot
Sir Apollo the Conqueror
We download it from apple store or google play ?
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
This looks amazing! I wish there was a chance to play this on MacBook
I hope there will be more of age of empires 😍
I foresaw that happening as soon as u kept your troops in the north
al lot of William soldiers died on the way to London due to extremally bad dysentery
I struggled with food too till I noticed a market in second town and buy food
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.
quick question did he quit total wazr roem 2
All these EU peasants and soldiers from all over Europe uniting under William's banner lol, truly a continental effort

I wonder how much it changed?
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 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
You just bilded a farm in the senter of the road 😂😂😂
I am descended from William the Conquerers mother.
Are you going to play more "Lord of the Rings" ?
Yeah, it’s been a bit since he played war in the north
@@madeleinenantze9133 He should also play the new Darkest Dungeon 2 which just came out. He hasn't played that yet at all.
Yeahhh 🇲🇽
How you are progressing so fast
5:52 I think the retreat was on purpose but their opportunity to break through the gaps was more of an accident
Time to grab some food
7:29
based off of the stream yesterday, yes. yes i can lol.
Nice
You definitely had to build buildings in aoe2 to advance to the next age...
I hope we can get another multiplayer live stream
it reminds me of the medieval 2 tutorial
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)
