I started playing AoE in early 2000s with no internet connection, no English skills, no friends to learn from. I was just randomly clicking on the screen and learn. It took me literally a year to advance to the feudal age. Seeing that some people had build orders around the same time is crazy for me :D
I remember playing the William Wallace campaign around this time. My cousin and I were to afraid to atack the English tower so we played the scenario for hours. I decided the best idea was to chop the trees with villagers and go for a sneak atack. My cousin discovered that you could fish in the game, and came to tell me while I was showering. Good times
Just so you know: KLEW stood for "Kid's Lightning Eagle Warriors". Kid was the name of the player popularising it. And selling stone was known back then. Sarazen Smush was actually one of the earliest strats developed.
Duno about this build but when conq expansion came out we doing 14 min castle age and not making mill before lumber .. duno wtf this build order .. 16 is very slow for fast castle in 2002 let alone 2005
It's actually "Kidd's", with two d's. And that's Mike Kidd, who was actually not just a player, but an Ensemble Studios employee, a major playtester for AoC. If I recall correctly he was the major mind behind AoC in general being a faster game than AoK, which made it significantly more popular as a multiplayer game.
Oh, back in 2005 we were playing with standard LAN party build orders: - all to straggler trees - oops I'm pop capped, build a house - oops I'm out of food, cannot train any more villagers, go to sheep, preferably 6 vills gathering from 3 dead sheep - when straggler trees are done, build a lumber camp - build a mill at the berries, don't bother with boar or deer - send one to gold and one to stone, just to trickle in some resources for later - stay at 15 pop (14 villagers) because we want feudal age, which requires food, and if we train more vills, it reduces our food, so stop producing vills until we reach feudal - berries are out (were 3 minutes ago but we realize just now), so build 8 farms around the mill, because it surrounds the mill so nicely - after reaching feudal, set up the economy which will carry use throughout the rest of the game: 10 on wood, 8 farms, 5 on gold, 5 on stone, and 2 extra villagers standing around in case we want to build something - build one military building of each, and start making a mixed army. Build a castle with towers near the center of the map, and then slowly creep forwards with a mixed army, building towers every now and then along the way. No need for more villagers ever, because we have thousands of every resource, which is enough to replace any losses. With this strategy we could absolutely dominate LAN parties back in the day! Good old times! (I wonder what modern AI could Hera beat with this build order :))))
totally relate to that, but I was better then most other players at these LAN parties. I didn't want the games to end at minute 25, so I played a black forest game like this: Fast Imp into multiple TCs, claiming all resources on the map for myself and walling off a good chunk of it for myself and then chill and watch the others reach Imp at hour 2 or so. Then when the great ending battle took place, I crushed multiple opponents so quickly, that it became an "all vs 1" game vs me, which the others still lost 😀 Good memories^^ I once played against a good friend as Celts and in that game I only made Siegeram, nothing else, even deleting all vills to have 200 of them. Lets say it was funny to see that this train couldn't be stopped by him at any point and the disbelieve was very entertaining to me^^
@@zachbalent1806 You should go fast castle yourself and try to get knights out I guess. This build was specifically made as a counter for old-school 'flushing', ie., Feudal age rush.
because it wasnt possible they changed the game mechanic just like giving 4 free sheep at start of the game and moving boars we closer .. its dumbed down so modern player think they are better but the game is made easier
You have to retry this strategy by following it again, step by step. If you have had a ram instead, you could have demolished the wall faster, also by garrison EWs inside the ram, you could have engaged into those archers without a hit, and pop out when the knights reach you. Denying that gold mine was key to prevent further knights. You played in an exquisite way, had a lot of fun with your comments.
I vividly remember this strat before 2005 being lethal. Back in those days early fighting was build an army, run in and fight theirs, if you lose go back and make more then send more in. Constant trickling in army and camping resources was pretty new. Palisades where basically never used like they are now.
Yeah, palisades were seen as being weak and a bad investment. The choice in most people's mind was no walls or stone walls. I think Mayans would often go stone wall, since they have that -50% discount which goes a long way with 200 stone. Keep in mind stone walls used to take 8 seconds to build and had 1800hp in the Feudal age. Nowadays they take 10 seconds to build and have 1080HP in Feudal. That's 225HP per second vs 108HP per second construction speed.
@@kobiromano6115 I'm not saying rushing didn't exist, it just was much slower and clunky. Hera actually did a video on why: ruclips.net/video/HiYFPOm_bLI/видео.html
I remember watching each of my three uncles (all different sides of a divorced family) play this game and it became such a core memory for like 5 and 6 year (2005-6) old me. I remember "painting" or coloring pictures of the end game population charts (I always played 8 player skirmishes (and lost of course lol)) for my parents and uncles and loving it so much.
9:45 I recall a Spirit of the Law video where he was talking about Saracens. He went over an ancient Saracen Fast Castle build from like 2002 and I recall it being mentioned there, specifically because of the market bonus, but I don't know if this was widely done on other Civs.
When I started following high level AoE 2 in 2012 this was still around, but changed a little bit, I believe. I'm pretty sure people did something very similar, but 1-2 minutes earlier to Castle Age. But it surely was even stronger back then, because walling was cheaper and faster and you didn't have Eagle Scouts, but Warriors immediately.
This threw me way back. I started plaing AoK from the very beginning in 99 and I had 3 replays of The_Sheriff and maimin_matty. One of these replays was a boom strat for Goth, which I learned and crushed everyone on LANs. Tbh, it became quite boring to always have these games go one sided, to a point where I played against multiple opponents at once. Of course I wasn't that good at the game, because I pretty much only played boom into mass Champs with either Goth or Tutons back then, but there weren't many good players around me at that time and I didn't have internet, so I couldn't compete online. The only one that was as good, if not better then me, was my best friend back then and one of us had to play at the opposite team every time we played together, because it would even become more lobsided, if we played together 😀 thanks for the reminder my friend, this felt great and it was a good time for me 🙂
These old build recipes are so much fun. RUclips is leading me from one to the next. Great insights on differences between modern builds and the ones we were raised on. Thx.
Good stuff! One stupid build I've been playing with is a Poles Fast Feudal TRush into FC. Basically FF then put all your vils on stone/wood/towers, then food. Build towers and buy your way to castle. So far it's been only semi-successful at lower ELO's, but I gotta say, it's been a ton of fun!
no it wasnt the game did not have it programmed in for them to go to the town center they only ran away from units not towards the tc this crap has been added in new versions of the game. Just like there was never 4 free sheep right at our tc u had to actually find them very fast or get behind and boars were a lot further out .. maybe hera actually played the origonal game he would know. This is not the origonal game there have been 2 more version since the origonal . HD edition and This definitive edition are not the same game as the 1998 release.
exactly I duno why he talks so much shit about did they know to sell stone did they know how to garriosn archers so annoying. Does he even realise this is NOT even the same game as 1999 .. in 1999 you didnt get 4 free sheep at the tc the boars were further away and much harder to find and game did not have all the time saving way point clicks ... etc .. This game has been dumbed down and made easier ... Without pushing deer in this current version of AOE2 you should easily be able get 13 min caslte age and pumping eagles ..
The early mill is hilarious! I like the idea of getting 4 to 6 vils on it though and having hte berries finish by 10:00 or something. That way you don't need to defend it later and could wall it out.
Very nice! Do more old build orders. It's just so entertaining to see other builds than the common ones. You're so used to the modern meta that these new ones are just strange when you see them.
Next you should do the original smush, sarracen monk rush I tried it once, 18 pop castle age with sarracen full monk converting. Only worked in npl though
Hey man I'm a longtime viewer... keep up the awesome creativity with your content. You are definitely one of the, if not the best fun aoe2 gameplay and content creator out there in 2024.
I think 2 large changes affected your build: 1) walls were significantly nerfed as a DE patch - they got more expensive and slower to build. SOTL says including villager time, each tile of wall costs 5 resources - that’s why you were short on wood for barracks3 2) they made eagle warriors directly in castle age, whereas you need to click the eagle warrior upgrade to upgrade them from Eagle Scout. (Just a resource diff - time wise, pre making Eagle Scouts in feudal is really powerful)
also no damage to chinese eco until castle which nornally is pretty scary! That wait to castle when youre facing someone same elo can be hard with this one as they couldve gotten in. Also im sure its ok to lure deers now given it was due to lag issues back then it wasnt popular
Man 16 min castles were the standard back in the good ole days. But watching this vid and how it went here, it felt so slow. I went 「oh man I wish we get there on time」 that whole entire time I was watching you trying to get to castle.
i actually think that if this bo builds the lumber camp before the mill and goes for 2 vills instead of 3 in feudal, it is actually viable. Though you have to survive their feudal preassure, like hera did with his walling
I played with the first version of AEO 2 back in 1999, with no Internet connection. I learnt my first build order a couple of years ago :) before that, it was all fun. Build orders and you-tuber destroyed this game and yet...here I am...
@@HeraAgeofEmpires2 hi Hera, Eagle Scout did not exist back in the days when AOC came out, it was introduced later. I don't remember what were the stats for that dark age / feudal eagle though
2005 Hera is better than 2023 players haha Well, 2005 Hera will 2023 skills Hera. But playing according to the 2005 strategy only. Amazing. For sure I'd like to see more content like this :)
Superfast castle Here's a fun build order only for Khmer (no buildings required for click up) on Arena: Superfast Castle build order 1-6 sheep 7 Straggler Tree 8-10 berries (build mill) 11 boar (join the 6 on sheep) 12 straggler tree - builds house 13-15 berries 16-17 gold 18 boar (build house) - join the 7 on sheep 19-20 sheep/boar (get deer) Loom Click up to Feudal Get last deer and scout map Click up to Castle On the way to castle eat rest of deer, build lumber camp(s), and send 2-3 to gold and everyone to wood except. In Castle age: Build Monastery and take all relics Boom up with TCs or go stone for fast attack. I am an absolute noob (maybe 700 ELO) and made castle easily in 13.10 min. You guys can probably do much better. Have fun!
It will be great if you could implement this 2005 strategy on Age of Kings, the corresponding version of AOE2 due to some differences. For example, palisade walls and wooden gates were built faster with lower cost; There was usually a herd of four deer instead of three slightly closer to TC; eagles in castle age were garbage; civ balances were different; and more importantly, there wasn't re-grouping. All of these details would affect the outcome of this old meta. Still, very happy to see you presenting this to us.
I started playing AoE in early 2000s with no internet connection, no English skills, no friends to learn from. I was just randomly clicking on the screen and learn. It took me literally a year to advance to the feudal age. Seeing that some people had build orders around the same time is crazy for me :D
Haha Amazing Story!! :D
First time I made 40 paladins and smashed the ai was epic. For me that was it. I was a 12 years old conqueror. ( Took me 3 years 😅)
My favorite strat was building towes all over my base and not killing the AI. The meat grinder satisfaction was so real
Who remembers "Maimin' Matty"? I was one of the first players he refined his monk rush strat on. 😂
some people have still been playing campaigns and ai for over 20 years so don't feel bad :)
Bruh in 2005 I was trying to make a wall across the entire map against the easy AI
😂🤣😅
Hhhh i remember it
I do it my self
😂
@@Klaus_Nobb
I love these kinda stories lol, I did it too 😂
11 I definitely did this too@@Klaus_Nobb
I would try to create a wall that gave me 2/3s of the map and then wait. If I didn't, I would restart.
In 2005 they had to adapt their 2nd boar lure timing to when the lag was lowest
Hahahah
A lot of 2005 build orders actually tell you to get loom before you go to get first boar.
@@flikwood411 Cause back then it would lag when you were bringing it in killing your vill.
If someone goes fast castle into eagles, in hidden cup V, Hera confirmed.
Instant mill after 3 houses? Dead giveaway.

I was looking for this comment telling me what KLEW means. Thanks.
Oh, back in 2005 we were playing with standard LAN party build orders:
- all to straggler trees
- oops I'm pop capped, build a house
- oops I'm out of food, cannot train any more villagers, go to sheep, preferably 6 vills gathering from 3 dead sheep
- when straggler trees are done, build a lumber camp
- build a mill at the berries, don't bother with boar or deer
- send one to gold and one to stone, just to trickle in some resources for later
- stay at 15 pop (14 villagers) because we want feudal age, which requires food, and if we train more vills, it reduces our food, so stop producing vills until we reach feudal
- berries are out (were 3 minutes ago but we realize just now), so build 8 farms around the mill, because it surrounds the mill so nicely
- after reaching feudal, set up the economy which will carry use throughout the rest of the game: 10 on wood, 8 farms, 5 on gold, 5 on stone, and 2 extra villagers standing around in case we want to build something

Dude I wanna run this back! We gotta do this again. That build was crazy man.
also no damage to chinese eco until castle which nornally is pretty scary! That wait to castle when youre facing someone same elo can be hard with this one as they couldve gotten in. Also im sure its ok to lure deers now given it was due to lag issues back then it wasnt popular
Lag, also the micro back then wasn't anywhere near how it is today, which was also due to lag but in general a lot has changed.
Why did you break into my house and photograph my computer for your thumbnail?

I would love to see more of these. Are there any build orders from the dark ages(1999) still around?
Nothing can stop a spreadsheet Eagalos build, even one from 2005.

2005 Hera is better than 2023 players haha Well, 2005 Hera will 2023 skills Hera. But playing according to the 2005 strategy only. Amazing. For sure I'd like to see more content like this :)
Now you need to make a video using eagle spam in a modern build showing how that strategy was optimized for today.
Wizard was right Hera and his spreadsheets, EGALOS
The initial villagers would go to berries, not the sheep. That was meta.
“Hera keep making eagles!”
What a noob 11
Well technically you didn't create a single Eagle WARRIOR :P Still fun vid :D
Superfast castle
Here's a fun build order only for Khmer (no buildings required for click up) on Arena:
Superfast Castle build order
1-6 sheep
7 Straggler Tree
8-10 berries (build mill)
11 boar (join the 6 on sheep)
12 straggler tree - builds house
13-15 berries
16-17 gold
18 boar (build house) - join the 7 on sheep
19-20 sheep/boar (get deer)
Loom
Click up to Feudal
Get last deer and scout map
Click up to Castle
On the way to castle eat rest of deer, build lumber camp(s), and send 2-3 to gold and everyone to wood except.
In Castle age:
Build Monastery and take all relics
Boom up with TCs or go stone for fast attack.
I am an absolute noob (maybe 700 ELO) and made castle easily in 13.10 min. You guys can probably do much better. Have fun!
It will be great if you could implement this 2005 strategy on Age of Kings, the corresponding version of AOE2 due to some differences. For example, palisade walls and wooden gates were built faster with lower cost; There was usually a herd of four deer instead of three slightly closer to TC; eagles in castle age were garbage; civ balances were different; and more importantly, there wasn't re-grouping. All of these details would affect the outcome of this old meta. Still, very happy to see you presenting this to us.
Man this is so good content
2005 called. They said, calm down.
Good luck on Hidden Cup mate. If you make hussar we'll all know.
