There's something about the original AoE aesthetic I really enjoy, even if it isn't my favorite strategy game from a mechanical standpoint, I really love how they brought pre Roman wars to life.
OMG that immediately brought me back to 1997... Actually, AoE was one of the biggest revelations in my gaming life. Thank you very much for that hardcore content!
That was beautiful dude!!! My grade 5 teacher had us all play the Egyptian learning campaign back in 97 in history class. She was a huge tech nerd, and felt that it would be a good teaching tool. She even had one of the first digital cameras! And let me tell you, those pictures looked like crap!! Very skillful play though. Worlds above my level lol.
Pffff what a bs comment for Christ sake! You don’t really expect anyone to believe this nonsense,do you? RUclips is THE platform with the largest number of losers desperate for likes who make up stories.
I love this game, even the remastered version makes the member berries hit god damn hard, the one strategy game i would LOVE to see develop further than it was was dark colony.
Tbf they are all strategy games, but to Stu's credit he has a broad knowledge of their unique mechanics, and is willing to exploit whatever he can to get the upper hand.
Loved to play this game before, also my fav civilization to play was greeks. Also, *very* nice timing on the walls, that was the decisive play in the game.
I really like thi game, but this expemplifies why I hated the remaster so much. The AI was left untouched, it's the same hellscape of micromanaged individual units acting separately. Game is about AI abuse and patience. Not to say that's any easy. Amazing job man. Mad skills being shown here.
"Finally! We have breached the wall!" (CENTURIONS) "OH GOD NO WE BREACHED THE WALL!" Cyan: "Those towers are gonna fall soon and then Blue is ALL MINE! They obviously have NOTHING LEFT, unless they have some kind of massive force navigating around the map MERCILESSLY MULCHING my allies that will attack us from the rear, but that would be PREPOSTEROUS!"
Damn dude that was pure chaos at the end. But the eco and the lures were amazing! I used to love that avalanche effect in AoE. Thanks for bringing me down on memeory lane! (Of course my pc would have bent over the amount of units here. 50 pop was all I could handle)
3:18 oh this music is so nostalgic! 💜 I loved this game as a kid! 12:48 another one of my favourites! (although I still prefer the original soundtrack)
Goddamn, Teal must've took all the map's resources, they just kept on coming with wrecking crews. Great run though, and I hope one day Empire Earth Gold will get a remaster, I miss that game.
They have added a number of QoL features and they made the civs a lot more balanced (nerfs to overpowered bonuses and new bonuses for previously weak civs like the Greeks). The pathfinding is still quite poor unfortunately, units still love getting stuck. 😉
Man, I wish they'd give some more love to AoE1. It's my favorite of the three in terms of time period and the last patch for it was a *year* ago. The AI is still bonkers, even on easy, some of the civ bonuses are just dogwater, and the pathfinding is mind-boggling.
As someone who loved playing the original AOE but never ever played it well, this is amazing watching you play! I'll record a commentary reaction to this soon. Thanks for inspiring me with your gameplay. I learned a lot from watching you play!
What in godsname is that sound at 2:40? Sounds like "Ooray" I hear it so many times and still don't know what it is! I'm not talking about the warning sound. Again at 2:54 btw. Edit: Think it's the fishing boats finish production.
A little low on the commentary side but all together nice to watch. Apparently the AI don't know how to upgrade ships, thanks for this information because i play AoE 1 definitive too.
I will try it sometime! Although, I did notice the AI intelligence and agressiveness seems to vary quite a bit depending on luck and map type. On the "Inland" map type they were especially bad, so I went with "Coastal" instead to make it more interesting. For an open map, I can't seem to think of a way to survive if they start attacking as early as in this video (~11 minutes) and you're not able to wall them out. You might have to get lucky and have them start attacking later instead.
@@StuGames I've had the same experience. Last i played all Villagers of all AI players stopped moving in bronze age, just standing around the town center. On hardest AI. That was disappointingly easy. 😂 A good way to defend alot of war elephants are priests. Once they are converted they can help defending the wall.
truly beautiful -- question: do u use some kind of pathing mod? cause your vills and centurions .. wow. so fluid and they dont get stuck in the farms or obstruct another senselessly. + if you could make a game against monk civs on hard - would be cool. ai conversion is a whole new world.
Centurions are so damn OP.. i'm actuaally making a simple mod for AOE 1 DE where i had to cut in half their attack and they are still so damn good (i buffed their armor tho)
AI controlled players will tribute other AI players so the latter can attack you faster, the results screen shows massive amounts of resources being given to the persian player (Teal with the war elephants and catapults)

It's not very difficult... you just have to do everything perfect and you will be fine !
Awesome video and awesome game !

AOE1 content now? Awesome. I return to AOE1 sometimes just for some simple AI matches and it still remands fun.
The game that got me into RTS games. I remember downloading the 25mb trial version. Took all day on dial up. Worth it.
"Common guys, that gonna be easy, what can he do against all 7 of us"

Our mere mortal minds cannot begin to comprehend Stu's skill level.

lets see him in rocket league :)
So many RTS games* bro would get big bodied in the fps world. Only playing one genre of game for years youre bound to be good
There’s also a HUGE difference in just playing against AI rather than human players.
The atmosphere in AOE 1 is unrivaled by any other AOE game !
ayoyo! wololo!
I think the original aoe 2 had a good claim
Can't wait for AOE Fight Club
Just wanna see a massive villager macro with all their elephant femur clubs
Loved to play this game before, also my fav civilization to play was greeks.
Also, *very* nice timing on the walls, that was the decisive play in the game.
i'm just realizing this 25 years later but this game should have been called empire of ages
That 35 minutes flew by while stoned, so much action lol

This video just makes me interested in seeing galactic Empire vs all computers in Galactic Battlegrounds
In my country, Vietnam, we still play AOE1 version 1997. And I can proudly say that we are very good at this game, may be no1 in the world :D .
I have watched your top players, amazing gameplay in 1v1 and 2v2 ! Real pros!
First time I EVER saw AOE1. Had to look at the description to recognize it (thought it would be Age of Mythology)
A true classic. Unforunately not that many people play it today! Although I hear it's still big in Vietnam.
I believe they're making an age of mythology remaster .
"Finally! We have breached the wall!"
(CENTURIONS)
"OH GOD NO WE BREACHED THE WALL!"
Cyan: "Those towers are gonna fall soon and then Blue is ALL MINE! They obviously have NOTHING LEFT, unless they have some kind of massive force navigating around the map MERCILESSLY MULCHING my allies that will attack us from the rear, but that would be PREPOSTEROUS!"
Cyan's Zapp Brannigan strategy was amusing to watch.

HA that elephant on the right defences sew a thousand battles take place that day
never mind thought the poor bugger was gonna survive the war
idk why watching CPU scout ships melt to the trireme deathball is so satisfying
AoE 2: DE speedruns would be good content to make. The quality and breadth of existing AoE2: DE speedruns on RUclips varies a lot.
Great job, man! Fantastic video and awesome to watch you!

Sweet home Alabama
"You, spearman, go attack that wall"
"The wall with the 15 guard towers defending it? But sir, I will surely die?!"
"Thank you for your service"
aah... those old AoE1 sounds..... so many memories
For me, its the best game soundtrack
Always wondered what it would be like if Alexander played age of empires...now I know...the exact same thing that happened in his time hahaha
meanwhile I can't even beat 1 AI on moderate
3:18 oh this music is so nostalgic! 💜 I loved this game as a kid!
12:48 another one of my favourites! (although I still prefer the original soundtrack)
This is so much harder to do now, with 200 pop and better AI, than it was back in the day. Nice job.
Goddamn, Teal must've took all the map's resources, they just kept on coming with wrecking crews. Great run though, and I hope one day Empire Earth Gold will get a remaster, I miss that game.
A lot of Teal's resources were actually tributed by his allies, when you look at the end screens.
@@StuGames That's interesting, did the AI do it because it was the closest one? Pretty smart if so.
@@TheNovicek if there is Palmyran AI whit other AIs it usually tribute to a offensive civilization which was teal (persian) in the match.
I just love how the ships move around with no handicap at all. These things make nowadays cars look like they are incapable of steering.
35 minutes of elephant genocide
The music is out of this world
Good game! Still play the original game from time to time but the remastered version seems to have improved quite a few things 👍👍
They have added a number of QoL features and they made the civs a lot more balanced (nerfs to overpowered bonuses and new bonuses for previously weak civs like the Greeks). The pathfinding is still quite poor unfortunately, units still love getting stuck. 😉
Those choke points were a real meat grinder

Damn. One transport ship from doom. Great gameplay here. This is the kind of guy that wrecks me with micro managing archers lol
I request the viper vs this guy. I think this youtuber can beat the viper. In this aoe franchise. Greetings the last judge from aoe.
Would be a fun match to watch for sure
Big Daddy x 60. 🚗
I saw "Greeks" and thought this was Age of Mythology. I wasn't disappointed, anyway!
Damn, man! You have to be as fast as you can with your fingers and keyboard shortcuts! AMAZING! 👏
Cyan was attacking like you owe him money
I love playing this still glad it got a definitive edition along side age of mythology
The Greeks are my favorite, centurion speed is basically an avalanche against everything!
OMG those centurions are literally The Rumbling
Nice work. First high level aoe1 game I've watched, cheers!
Man you are fucking amazing 🔥🔥🔥
My and my friends are so bad that we have to 3v 1 the hardest ai and still lose most of the time but it’s always so much fun
I really love the concept of art in this game, is something we don't have anymore (I'm not a boomer btw)
Goddamn that eco ramp was so satisfying to watch. AI couldn't keep up
Remember our "Old times" when we played AoE all night long with my friends. Only we AoE and beer. Oh those times...
Holy crap it's AoE 1! I haven't seen this played in ages!
As someone who loved playing the original AOE but never ever played it well, this is amazing watching you play! I'll record a commentary reaction to this soon. Thanks for inspiring me with your gameplay. I learned a lot from watching you play!
in the OG version farms wherelike any other building, you could not walk over it. real shitty
loving this channel, you my friend have a gift!
This is an expert player.
Wow it must be really difficult to micromanage with this speed. I am very impressed
Gosh i remember the fun id have as a kid making my own scenarios 😊😊❤❤
Wow, it's going at a thousand miles per hour in his brain 😲
i feel braver after this and i guess ive learned new tricks. i will try to 1v1 easiest ai to see now. thx
oh man I want to play this right now
I kind of wish for a historical RTS game that covers late neolithic to contemporaneous times. Yes I know about Empire Earth, I want something modern.
Best game ever it was perfect for massive fights with a endless number of troops.
With all those buildings bro you actually built Athens! Glad I'm not the only one who mixes up the hotkey for tower and farm! Great Vid!
What in godsname is that sound at 2:40? Sounds like "Ooray" I hear it so many times and still don't know what it is! I'm not talking about the warning sound. Again at 2:54 btw. Edit: Think it's the fishing boats finish production.
Hola stu 😁, eres el mejor RUclipsr de Starcraft que e conocido, te mereces mi suscripción 😌👍, saludos desde Honduras 😇
A little low on the commentary side but all together nice to watch. Apparently the AI don't know how to upgrade ships, thanks for this information because i play AoE 1 definitive too.
They know how to upgrade but they don't seem to place a lot of importance on it, so sometimes it takes them very long to do it. :D
you are real RTS pro.
Nice game thoug. This AoE looks so good!
Still w8 for the LoTV 100% speedrun :D good videos btw :P
did they re-record the unit voices for DE? These all sound...different from what I remember
Just tested it in the first Egypt mission of both games, they are different.
Is there hill advantage for those towers? (More dmg on a hill) or did AoE2 start that?
Rogan?
At some point you make so many units all you hear is: HO!
Why all maps are revealed? Scouting is vital part of AoE
OMG this is real. The guy is the Keynes of paleolythic.
Se loco mano da até vontade de voltar a jogar, mais aí você vê uns player desses até desanima kkkkk cara é bom 👏👏👏
I LOVE GAME PASS! Installing right now!
Not gonna lie that's fucking awesome
Bravo!
i neeeed moree of thissssssssssssssssssss

Can you play 1 vs 7 in AOE2:DE? That would be nice to see))
Please upload more 1 vs 7 in AoE 1 !!!
And then at the very end, there was finally peace on the eastern front
Best I can do is beat 3, so good job on this one.
truly beautiful -- question: do u use some kind of pathing mod?

This is the unmodded Definitive Edition. They changed the farms for this version so that you can walk through them!
Great video!
it reminds me when i played age of empire rise of rome expansion
Great job!
Need online content
Greek vs Egyptian priests, hate those things
Centurions are so damn OP.. i'm actuaally making a simple mod for AOE 1 DE where i had to cut in half their attack and they are still so damn good (i buffed their armor tho)

How exactly does the AI cheat? Build/tech speed? Resource multiplier?
