Age of Empires Iceberg Explained

[@NorthernWhisper]

A video of a game from 1998 with a microphone from 1998. Nice.

[@linkinboss2]

It had to be nostalgic. Maybe if it does well, we will get a definitive edition 😂

[@BeautyChatterjee-rh9bb]

Age of empires is still being updated and has many editions much better than aoe1 of 1998

[@nathangamble125]

Actually, monks _do_ walk faster with Fervor researched in the original Age of Empires II. But only when they're carrying a relic. The upgrade affects "monk with relic", but not the base monk unit.

[@dradonie]

Finally an Age of Empires iceberg

[@Rain-bo6uc]

I thought it would only be aoe but this included aom, what a treat!

[@YellowVillager]

Nice video villager approved 👍🏽

[@AEGISAOE]

but was yellow?

[@lontongstroong]

Moo-up!!!

[@bunga6475]

are u a Viper's vill?

[@RamRam-wm5sd]

28:40 Developers who worked on Age of Empires later worked on Empire Earth and revisited the idea of a fifth resource. There is food, wood, stone, gold and iron. The concept works very well. Unlike in AoE, however, the resources are almost infinite in their sources, which makes matches last much longer than in AoE. I love AoE and Empire Earth

[@imtootiredforthis7694]

It came out after this video was uploaded, but the Victors and Vanquished expansion adds the Francis Drake scenario that has a unique galley that works as a boarding ship.

[@gandalfgaming4575]

Nice work man! So much time spent onto this. Reserves way more viees

[@monchi9000]

great work bro!

[@Obelion_]

i got one: in aoe2, the difficulty you set when making a standard game is actually relevant when playing with only other people. the harder the game setting, the bigger wolves aggro range and their spawnrate becomes

[@gameplay8663]

Great upload. And awesome gameplay.

[@rubengalvan1031]

My dude. This is an amazing video because shows a lot of things I didn't know. Well done!

[@Chfoulu]

Actually the Naval Shipyard in AoM is also present in other campaign missions, used by enemies (for example the mission where the player starts with no gold and is tasked with breaking the Trojan Gate) Also I remember playing the Age of Kings on PS2, that was wierd

[@Cubics_Rube]

22:36 - Funnily enough, the boarding ship _is_ now in the Definitive Edition of the game, in the Dlc "Drake" scenario, usable by the player. 41:52 - I think it's supposed to be that the other villager is giving him a CPR. And it's easier to mimic that with a gather animation. I wouldn't think much else of it, honestly.

[@Doktersocks]

I think a civ with a bonus that lets their villagers use bows against enemies would be great.

[@Ahmadabdal_]

English aoe4

[@bananan7]

Yeah or add it as a technology in Feudal age

[@linkinboss2]

It would be super hard to balance in aoe2 though, even if the damage from a distance is reduced to 1, and you give them 2 or 3 of range that would make really hard to raid mill with bushes or wood lines, as most feudal units would be focus shotted in 1 or 2 hits, and only.archers would be able to respond, it would make them almost unraidable in feudal with no investment sans a technology.

[@Hero_Of_Old]

The best icebergs are the ones with low quality mics

[@francofazzolari7973]

the villager is clearly doing some CPR to the one that passed out

[@BurgundyDismay]

Great iceberg. I didn’t know most of the stuff on it. The fire towers seem like they would fit with the Byzantines- as long as Greek Fire is researched

[@aomplayen]

Nice video :)

[@adeadfishdied]

Correction since this video was published: The ship which has the ability to “board” aka convert other ships has been utilized in one of the Victors and Vanquished DE campaigns. The original campaign is an older community scenario, but it is now officially part of the game. Still not usable outside of that scenario though.

[@bunga6475]

22:22 i saw an interview where Sandy Peterson (lead aoe2 and 3 designer) said that a boat just like that was planned to be into the game, alongside another one that could construct water palizades and water towers. He also stated that they had this idea of the economic dock and the military port for aoe2, but decided no to do it in the end. Maybe they just moved it to aom, although it got cancelled once more, at least we have the bouldings in campaings and in the scenario editor

[@nargaman261]

Hey, wait a minute. This infiltrate ability... it exists now! Aoe4 recently got a dlc with the japanese faction among other things. They can make shinobi, which function very much like you described, only that they are uncovered by scouts and town centers and are on a 60 second time limit. They are pretty bad competetivly, but fun nontheless

[@harz632]

I remember playing both titles on the Nintendo DS

[@sam_svk1749]

OMTBO = Off The Map Trade Boat, in alpha they would go to the edge of the map, despawn, and after some time reappear again, loaded with resources. Allegedly it still works. CHURCH_4 - there are many placeholder, unfinished textures like this in the game files.

[@Egg-ce2si]

Im suprised this game has an Iceberg

[@TommyLikeTom]

the infiltrator unit came back in AOE4 as the shinobi spy

[@TacticaIPuke]

Nice list.

[@bunga6475]

incredible videwo, awesome, for real incredible

[@Sirmenonottwo]

Too bad there is no information on the giant ship asset in AOE 2.

[@HowDoYouTurnThisOn_]

did you record this while on a car ride?

[@MIchaelArlowe]

I thought Iceburg was a new random map type.

[@somedesertdude1308]

yes

[@manuprogaming3564]

nice video god bless u

[@AEGISAOE]

7:36

[@cristobalsapiain2709]

The deer one is 100% real

[@austinbaccus]

My man is using two cups and a string as a microphone.

[@Usersekhmet]

Apep isnt a god in egyptian mythology. Its more or less their equivalent of satan

[@CaptainGrimes1]

The developers are such hypocrites - they change native American factions and scenarios because of European colonialism which ended nearly 100 years ago, but they don't want the Tibetans in the game as they don't want to offend the Chinese who are colonising them now?!

[@erikguillen6599]

AGREE. Also, if they change stuff for historical accuracies as dancing, properly natural names or whatever related looks good to me. But if you change it to "offend" xor be "disrespectful" but its accurate, what the actual fuack? That sounds infantilization to me

[@revvyishonisd5027]

Colonization is just a mean way of saying “bringing the modern world to ____”

[@onelonelypickle]

It's stupid SJW "diversity" hires getting into the games market. They don't care about games or fun, just fitting in their agenda and being accepted by the video game dev market thanks to what was started with the GamerGate shit. And yes I am going to go there - they are almost exclusively women.

[@cristobalsapiain2709]

I hate woke people

[@AnglosArentHuman]

​@@erikguillen6599 Damn. That's a really bold way to say I only play Teutons.

[@unorthodoxparadox8557]

[@intensiveintensives4887]

21:15 "playing as ISIS". Almost forgot what I'm watching!
