I must applaud that you played the bugged Alpha 3 until Imperial, this was a 1/100 chance game on first try!! The wood thing...which is already fixed...was caused by Farms XD. Thank you T90 for this great video!!
“I kinda want to elevate myself” T90 i think youre on to something here. They should make First Person AoE 2 from a zoomed out perspective. Like where you can see everyone from above. I think that game could be a hit.
The wood glitch happens because they don't charge you for queued buildings only those that are being built. Once they start building you can go negative.
My theory is that he was paying the wood cost of his enemies reseeding.. it happened way too random and too much considering he had like 4-5 farm, 75 wood for each, enemy had like 15 farms, he was jumping from 300 wood to -500..
Hats off to the designer(s?) of this, seriously one of the most charming fan-made game/mods i've ever seen. If this came out when i was a kid i'd have never put it down
Ive always wanted a multi-player game where one player controls armies from a birds eye view while the other player is in first person on the battle field. So victory relies on strategy but a skilled player in first person can help turn the tide.
That game exists and it's called Savage and Savage 2. But it's pretty old now and I don't think anyone plays it anymore. I used to play it back in the 2000s.
If you weren't so busy casting you could be a great Let's Play RUclipsr. Your casting skills transfer easily, and this was enjoyable to watch! I'd love to see some multiplayer of this.
This is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. The graphics and the building animation remembers me a lot like Empire Earth. I wish this project got the atention and fundings it needs to develop and progress.
I feel like this would be awesome if you could switch from 1st person to regular AOE top down view. Top down view would be for eco management and then fighting would happen in 1st person. Also hotkeys to control different armies while fighting would be awesome you could look at a certain area in 1st person and just send a squad to that location. But if there was an area that you couldn't see you could pull up your map in hand and then position your armies on the map like a field commander. The potential is there though
Think the map needs to be key since it's hard to select an idle villager way far away since you can't jump like in AOE2 so have all idle villagers highlighted on the map in one shade and idle military in another shade so you can go to them.
Convince Daut to play this with you. You know it would be hilarious, on mutliple levels. If nothing else, consider this: this game mode inheritly rewards micromanagement and downplays macro.
What this needs is a function where you can use the mouse wheel to zoom between FP view and overhead view, so you can easily zoom out to place buildings and plan maneuvers and such, then zoom down to FP to get up close and personal in the actual battles!
There is a rather old game called C&C Renegade, which combines the C&C RTS with a multiplayer shooter (only talking about the multiplayer part, because the single player doesn't count). Basically, 2 teams of players where each player takes on the role of 1 "unit" in an RTS with shared resources for the whole team. That concept could also work with AoE2 and this mod. Imagine a 20 player knight rush on the opposing team or 5 ppl. jumping into a mongolian drill ram.
Ooooh I'm glad to see this again :D I thought it was abandoned, glad the fella has kept working on it! Keep following it T90 I'd love to see the game come to completion and actually be playable
I've always wanted to play a game like this I'd love it if you could team up with an overlord style player, or maybe you can zoom in and out, a bit like total war but in real time
When I first discovered that AoE II had a complete remake with DD, I thought that a first person view would've being included in the game, so you could have moments of feeling of leading your army right next to them to battle, it didn't got this feature, but the overall revamp of the graphics is already good too, especially the demolition animations at least.
No for elites esport rtses gamers ruins rts for us rest want multiplayer focus first and then we get small shit maps that fast play instead of listen to olschool rts gamers who want multi focus as a last focus and real rts gameplay not rush everything or have small shit maps only playeble
I think to make this competitive you should have 3-4 people playing per normal game "player" and voice chat. Then you can start with one person microing vills, one scouting, on drushing, then later, walling, managing going opposite sides of the map etc. And of course you could team up in combat
I would get farms and fish traps to just be infinite but convert wood into food directly at like a 1-20 relationship based on farm upgrade level. Higher upgrades, lower constant cost. Because rebuilding farms is just busywork in a first person mode.
@@jefffinkbonner9551 except the auto reseed mechanic is complicated and getting farms to convert wood into food while villagers work to restore farm value is easy to do. And we can prevent lag caused by villagers having to think about building things.
You know this is giving me so much vibes from dungeon Keeper back then you actually had a real time strategy game where you had the standard strategy map overview with controlling your units but you also had the ability to Take Over Control form a single unit and see it in a 3d perspective that is what made that game so interesting.
This makes me hopeful for the future. 1 person RTS games are a huge untapped potential that I havn't really seen been played with since Brütal Legends. Like... this will not become a AAA title, but it's cool :D
This is basically Command and Conquer Renegade but set in Medieval Era. Because in Command and Conquer Renegade, you can "build" stuffs and shoot baddies at the same time.
I think they should still have a bird's eye view when you try to play a building. Itd help with building your base easier like In regular Aoe. But this first person view for everything else is awesome. If they could make a game where it has a mixture of AOEs bird's eye view system with this first person aspect and combat like from chivalry 2, with the army control system from bannerlord 2 would be chefs kiss 😘
Not being able to build something that costs no wood because you have negative wood is hilarious. Reminds me of that old routine by Louis CK: "Negative ten dollars, that's how much I have now. [...] I wish I just had nothing, but I have less than that. [...] If it's free, I can't f***ing afford it."
17:53 its bugged somehow while you were dragging the farm to build over the water, the game somehow counted as you wasting the wood for a farm, charging you for a full farm for every water tile the farm silhouette touches. you went from +543 wood to -340. a total of 883 wood.
I used to imagine something like this when i was a kid, it needs to be changed to where you click a unit and it zooms to their pov and when you finish you can leave tht unit back to normal mode. Then click a different unit etc that would be sick
Just play Empire Earth, its basically AoE on steroids and much better and you can switch stepless between first person mode and the regular from above view in vanilla EE.
Looks like a great project, but also a pain to control an entire base alone, this looks like a great thing from some coop or team-vs-team gameplay with several players controlling one faction
"What's my HP!?"

I laughed much harder than I should have hahaha I would play the crap out of this!
I wasn't the Look up part to check the HP. Damn that was funny as hell.

It's how it should be in fps games

Hi developer
Hey, you're the guy on the banners.
you are a legend mate
when will you make a top-down mode? I think it could be a popular game mode
@@cypherusuh I think he announced it for 27. September 1999
AoE2 was the main game of my childhood, so seeing how active the modding community still is is WILD. This looks insane!
iirc this isn't a mod but a wholly separate project!
Edit: a so it takes assets from your installed game so I guess that counts!
“I kinda want to elevate myself”
T90 i think youre on to something here. They should make First Person AoE 2 from a zoomed out perspective. Like where you can see everyone from above. I think that game could be a hit.
Dude that's GENIUS how haven't they thought of that yet
Actually, tall watch towers that the player could climb would be interesting here
From above First person Age of Empires II Definitive Edition (short is FAFPAOE2DE), is a game I'd definitely played
They should make a 1st person that goes 3rd person every now and then ñp
I think that would be Age of Empires 3, but I still like Age of Empires 2 more 😅
The VR version of this is going to be insane!!
amazing you can see the back side of buildings for the first time
In fact I have to invent them XD
The wood glitch happens because they don't charge you for queued buildings only those that are being built. Once they start building you can go negative.
I thought it was because of reseeding the farms
@@sadiev2778 that too because they get queued up when you run out of wood too

There is an RTS where you can go third person with your hero. Rise of Nations maybe?
Maybe going inside the TC or the Castle could give you a panoramic view of your base and enable you to control swathes of nearby units and structures.
@@stalwartarjuna In all honesty, ideas like this would have made Age of Empires IV so much better and original
You should check a game called Natural Selection 2.
I'd just want the ability to watch the replay in regular view
when the villagers get created it's the military unit creation sound 😂 this was so dope to see 🔥 cool project
if this fixes the glitches and reestablishes stuff like 'select all idle villager' / 'select all idle military', this could be really good
Think the map needs to be key since it's hard to select an idle villager way far away since you can't jump like in AOE2 so have all idle villagers highlighted on the map in one shade and idle military in another shade so you can go to them.
Good to see this project is alive. Reminds me a bit of Empire Earth, polygon terrain mixed with sprite assets.
I spent far too much time in Empire Earth zoomed all the way in, basically playing like this.
Love T90 thinking it's H for "Hop on" and not H for "Horse". Would love to see a multiplayer game!
me:“I wanna play AoE“
mom: "we have AoE at home"

Combine this with daggerfall, battle-realms unit creation and you've got the best game ever made! Plus some proper Gothic-like adventuring and map!

this reminds me of frozen food
cause when I watched the first episodes I ate a lot of frozen food lol
Graphics remind me of Empire Earth 1 and Warrior Kings Battles. Also the way the buildings rise from the ground when they are being built :D
I've been waiting for this video for a long long time. Thanks T90
"I kinda wish i could elevate myself" that would just be.... normal AOE2 lol
