Times were different back then, walking around all silly, saying catchy phrases with a rhythmic drum track and sleek melodies marking your pace. You would hear random whispers and suddenly people would start killing each-other, and people were constantly changing the colour of their pants, catapults just wheeled around by themselves and slept in houses, you had to be there man.
Dear God. I've been humming this tune for years. I'm 32 now. I never could remember where it was from, and then all of the sudden I came across the Age of Empires soundtracks last night. Amazing stuff.
Fingolfin, you are 36 now 🙈 Welcome, old comrades. We were blessed to enjoy this legends game! When I retire I’ll continue the journey! Played this game again a few years ago with one elder friend, we couldn’t stop playing it…We didn’t have enough time…Such a legend!
Ace Player just home run mate, or black death and you can (pleasantly or unpleasantly) solve that prob. Otherwise, resign or hari kari is still fine (just li' bit painful). As for me, I choose gaia before running home
You're about 7-10 mins into your game now. Your empire is really booming now, you start to expand onto new areas of the map. You discover new techs and begin to thrive.
You got it wrong, I'm still trying to time my villagers working to the beat of the music and then I walk away from my dad's Pentium ii and start strutting around the house like I am also a villager then get spanked because I'm making too much noise stomping my feet because the baby was sleeping
@@Midhav0 good to know, I just didn't see it when AOE DE first launched, glad to know tho. But maybe its nostalgia but that remaster just doesn't capture how strong this version is, I think it tried too hard to sound epic and fantastical. Doesn't hold a candle to the original, then again that's most of the AOE 1 DE music to me
but it was, or at least I could find it via the Definitive OST (if definitive isn't what was used in the remaster than ignore this... I never checked the remaster out) on youtube... it's called "battle of Kadesh" the 24th video in the playlist. Not sure where the names on these videos come from or the ones in that playlist or which are correct.
Little twang on the guitar at @1:40 is amazing. Soundtrack to my childhood and the first CD game I bought from Software Warehouse, when that was a thing!
I remember back when I was 4 in 1997 my dad used to play this and civ 2 during the evenings. The computer room was just out in the hallway so I'd sometimes hide under the covers and watch him play. When he'd go to the toilet I'd always sneak up to the computer to look at what he was doing. He usually had the speakers on, and I vividly remembering hearing thia shit and just got mesmerised by the graphics and music. I loved AOE so much that I inteoduced my buds to it and we'd play this taking turns at the pc and later when modems became more commonplace over here my friends who had pc's of their own would come over for AOE lans and sleepovers at weekends ^_^
Not to mention some enemy will use their priests to surround their wonder once their built it... The massive battle of blood and steel suddenly became the Epic Rap Battle of the History XD Wololoooooo
The bomb. Playing this and the sequel with my daughter now (six), I played these when I was about 12 or 13 (when they came out). It's still so much fun and the soundtracks are -awesome-... Multiplayer LAN weekend!
No Stormbilly, bigmomma, King Arthur...? And what was that one for St. Francis? I am editing this. It was "convert this!" for Saint Francis. I also saw dark rain which was sweet (composite bowmen only, when not moving, appear as trees- so the stealth is utilized). Regardless of cheats, these line of games are deep within our hearts, and will always be. Amazing and sweet
I played this on our old windows 95 when I was eight years old. I'm 33 now and I've always caught myself humming this tune. Finally, I just had to hear the real deal again!
This certainly is one of the most nostalgic songs to me. The instruments used just make it so calming and idyllic, it always reminds me of bamboo and desert maps. Oh and what fun I had with the scenario editor... old times, sadly I fear that I will never be able to relive them.
This is the CD music, there's different music installed to your harddrive as far as I can tell. My own version never plays these soundtracks for some reason. A shame, they're the better of the two sets :(
THIS WAS MY FAVORITE SONG IN THE GAME!!! Had to watch your vids to remember much of the music but i have gone through this many times in my head over the years since we lost the game.
What I loved about the AoE series was the scope, specially in Age of Kings. The feeling of guiding an ancient civilization through its primitive development to its high civilization peak. The buildings and their massive scale compared to your tiny foot soldiers, it was a nice change of pace from all the games at the time. Its a shame we will probably never see an AoE4 or 5, but then, do we really want one?
@@Lucasmagalhaes-vg5ox I would say that Aoe4 suck, but it is... useless. There is no interest of releasing such à game. The new aoe4 mechanics should have been implemented into the modern period of time
This rocks !!! I Remember with our USB modem with telephone cable call in line to play online everybody was palying in my school in the swimming team EVERYBODY! LIKE that cop in Leon would say E V E R Y B O D Y !
I remember as a kid, I always liked hunting to this track. I would always take a villager off of whatever he was doing and go hunting. Watching him throw his spear and hearing that cutting sound when he cut the meat from the carcass with this music was fantastic.
Minha história é um pouco incomum. Essa trilha sonora me lembra do meu pai. Ele amava Age of Empires e na época do lançamento já contava mais de 50 anos. Tínhamos uma biblioteca e o computador ficava lá. Me lembro eu estudando os livros da faculdade lá por 2002 e ele jogando AOE. Embora já velho naquela época, ele adorava as novidades tecnológicas. Gostava de jogar, de aprender informática. Essa soundtrack me lembra dele.
@9snaker OK! I actually found out what the hell is going on! It seems that AOE1 used both MIDI and CD soundtrack! The CD soundtrack is supposed to start playing if you play the game with the CD in! Otherwise, in order the game not to be mute, the developers decided to have a MIDI soundtrack as well as a "backup"! The MIDI soundtrack can be found in the sound files, BUT the CD soundtrack is NOWHERE in the files! However, I put the CD on a CD-player and I heard the CD soundtrack finally (continue)
@Stonezorz You don't know the evil trick of hunting the elephants? Just build the plot of a wall around them - in the first game, you couldn't walk over the building plots regardless of how much they'd been built. With four pieces of wall, you could box them in and kill them easily. Then just destroy the wall.
@RyZombie619 AoE1 required the most skill of all of them. Queues turned people lazy as hell. Pump timings got sort of ignored...you couldn't overpop as much...the farming in RoR was laughable...the graphics in aoe2 were funny too, they tried too hard.
@9snaker The same thing happens to me too. I hear only MIDI tracks. The funny thing is that when I put the game on my old WIN 98 i heard the CD music and not the MIDI files.
@Stonezorz I remember first playing AoE and an elephant raping my pathetic town. Had to make a few club men to kill it and then I couldnt harvest the meat!
Under the title its say "An epic Game of empire-building and conquest" vell i think Age of Empires is the best series in this style...AGE OF EMPIRES RULEZ!!!!!!!!!
It's tragic that we wouldn't have an AoE 4. Mind, I can understand that even if Ensemble Studios were to reunite to create one, it would really play more like Company of Heroes.
AoE4 confirmed about a year ago by microsoft!!! I'm sure you already know but there's three new games: AoE Definitive Edition, AoE2 Definitive Edition and AoE4, and there's AoM Tale of The Dragon and AoE2 RotR We're booming with new content!
Seriously everyone if you have Xbox GamePass, the AoE Definitive Editions are free to play on the GamePass for PC. Only has the Rise of Rome musics remixed, but the game is just as fun and looks better. You can walk THROUGH farms :O I might turn the game music off and play the original music in the background lol.
that would be the best $10 they would ever spend... This game is such a classic. I have a sick world multiplayer map on my channel if you want to download it

lol , i not the one who think the farmers are dancing that music hahaha
Oh, how I love the Internet... there's always peer support if you think you're the only one who thought some things in certain way!
Also the hoplites with their head twitches would sometimes be in sync with this track
👍
Dude literally the same I’m so glad I’m not the only one who noticed!
Oh God, help us when the bigdaddy's get converted by the enemy priests.... Wololoooo

Ayaooo heh-oryo
I haven't played this game in over 15 years. Wasn't there a cheat for a guy with a laser gun or a nuclear bomb or something?
When that happens, I just call in another big daddy!
You're about 7-10 mins into your game now. Your empire is really booming now, you start to expand onto new areas of the map. You discover new techs and begin to thrive.
IamSamSammIam nailed it bro
unfortunately for me it's more like getting fucked up because i'm emotionally destroyed by the midi soundtrack, wondering where the fuck this music is
For me, that song entered at 5:48 into game. When I should be at least researching Iron Age when it enters.
You got it wrong, I'm still trying to time my villagers working to the beat of the music and then I walk away from my dad's Pentium ii and start strutting around the house like I am also a villager then get spanked because I'm making too much noise stomping my feet because the baby was sleeping
Plot twist: 20 enemy cataphracts attack as soon as this song starts.
"Huh cool, a wild elephant, let's try hunting that- OH GOD"
I get my prehistoric caveman hype on when listening to this. Looks like humans discovered how to JAM before they discovered fire or the wheel.
+Grahame Luck Looks like they were talking about this fucking soundtrack when they said they discovered fire
change your dosage man
I am really tearing up now. All those memories I can't summarzie my thoughts in words
Agreed. This game was my childhood. I remember watching my older brothers playing it, all of us vibing to the amazing midi soundtrack
Those 15 dislikes are actually People who got Wololoed from a Like
This is ancient rap music?
tomahawk in yo face music
'Check out my storage pit...'
All it needs now is some half-naked chicks, prehistoric ninjas with stone shurikens.
@@TheMylittletony Aren't prehistoric chicks are mostly half naked?
I can only imagine Old Egyptians, Spartans and Sumerians in a big Electronic music Nightclub, dancing around the neon with they troops.
why the HELL this masterpiece wasn't remastered for the definitive edition I can't understand.
Yes it's pathetic. Also, I just bought AOE2 DE and sadly the interface of AOE2 DE is rubbish, it looks like a smartphone app.

Photon Man was always my favorite cause in addition to sprinting they didn’t destroy everything in a ten mile radius, unlike Bigdaddy. XD

This shit is still absolute fire since day one of release.
@Kinkoyaburi lol u def played the game before, i wish i could go back to them days when i had hours to play this!!! :(
