all 8 AoE2 Main Theme variations separately (including Last Khans and Lords of the West)

[@VitalisEirich]

Hey folks, thanks for uploading and sharing AoE Music ! Just want to mention, this 7:18 Last Khans version is based on my original version and was made by MS (Todd) Greetings

[@hjoerleif2]

Thank you for all the music you make!

That was what I seriously imagined as a small kid lol

[@JoeJoGEHrt]

My favorite always will be the Conquerors Variant, specially for the unique chorus at 1:19

[@thegreatbearwolf2915]

Mine too!!! Thats an Aztec flute sound!!!

[@owainevans89]

Mine too. Its the best

[@ButtonBashOfficial]

Damn. Never noticed that!

Nothing hits like the OG theme so fucking good. Still gota give the forgotten the silver star for being a revamped OG version and the African kingdom the bronze for being so goddamn hype

[@seanandrews5329]

Ok

[@sergiobejaranolangarica4761]

Last one, Lords of the West, really gives you that vibe that makes you ask yourself "Could I really, sometime, become a Robert Guiscard? A Roger Bosso?"

[@thegreatbearwolf2915]

1:01 the best theme, 1:19, the best part

[@montezuma4353]

Aoe2 forgotten is just such a good expansion. It not only was in hd edition but also was a mod for the conquerors.

[@GarkKahn]

i remember playing that mod incredibly it became official AND revived age of empires after almost 20 years

[@hieratics]

Mediocre, considering that the campaigns were not even voiced or had music/sound effects

[@Creeping_Shadow]

Expected to have a favorite, but nope! All are different yet nostalgic. And they are all bangers aren't they 😂

[@rodrigoaguilar6424]

the forgotten hits SO HARRRRRRRRD

[@Alchemist1330]

The best is clearly the forgotten

[@NiDe500]

The mix of the picture and the triumphant reprise really does sound like those who were Forgotten making their presence known. “Did you really think AoE2 was finished?!”

[@SethBennion]

Too bad there isn't one for Dawn of the Dukes or Dynasties of India.

[@klaroxy7552]

The definitive edition hits hard into nostalgia, can't imagine how much we did play back then... 10 match a day at least if not more, everyday.. Damn that summer was a blast!

[@pyroshilov8474]

AoK brings back so many memories and the true OG theme

[@abhipatiri]

3:45 sounds like the house sound in AoM

[@bristleback3614]

Aoe forgotten possibly the best remake version of original aoe 2 theme

[@mikuhatsune8121]

in your dream stop crying 1 year old kid is salty

[@darkranger116]

i grew up on aoe 1 and have played every version of every title in the franchise. conquerors was a favorite for a while because of that tune switch into the meso theme was so perfect. then HD forgotten came out, and it sounded like the "AoE 3" version of the aoe 2 theme, in the good way. african and rajas were immersive and sparky and fun, a fresh take with good instrument choices. lords of the west sounded like the intro to a live action movie of aoe and had a great crescendo. idk why but the last khans version is just such a wild card, and it still gives the feeling of racing across the face of the earth on horseback. i love it

[@elkingoh4543]

As a Malaysian, the Rise of the Rajas my favourite one

[@ryannathaniel9296]

Thanks for compiling this! Now I can listen to all of them on loop

[@jeremiedomenico]

Most epic is the Forgotten one 😍

I have been trying to find 1:01 for a looooong time! today, I finally found it! thanks for sharing this video!! :) :D

[@shingoyabuki97]

LOL... I was making a video exactly like this one, since it seemed incredible to me that it didn't exist. I was looking for more information before making the video compilation and BOOM! I find your video. Very good job, and I'll probably stop doing it or finish it privately. Greetings from Mx.

[@hjoerleif2]

I can relate, it has happened to me too. I once did a video and it turned out another guy (who I knew even!) had already done almost the exact same video a few years prior - awkward! haha

[@dogg-paws]

There's also a version for the AoE2 demo, would've been a good addition to the video.

[@hjoerleif2]

I didn't know that!

[@stormtrooperfun2525]

There are two, actually. One is a fully medieval melody and the othe one is a MIDI version of Tazer.

[@lincolnvolk7609]

Conquerors takes me way back to when I was 5, good days of losing to the medium AI😂

[@kln5705]

Hadn't noticed before, but the DE theme sounds a LOT like one of the secondary themes for AC4 BF Guess it kinda makes sense, but also, weird that I've played both games so much and only noticed it now

[@hjoerleif2]

yeah it does now when you say it, sounds like it's definitely the same instrument in the beginning but slightly different melody

[@omkargouraje6243]

All sounds good, have relationships with civ's cultural instruments, flok songs.

[@owainevans89]

The conquerors is my favourite

[@ST_Whimsical]

AoE2 is completed from the main theme !

[@hjoerleif2]

Want any of these to play in your main menu instead of the default DE? I made mods for each allowing you to have it so: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqbPg4OfedWLd9U

Why did you exclude the one from Age of Mythology? The spoof easter egg version is the best one of them.

[@hjoerleif2]

The one from Age of Mythology? I don't know which one you're referring to

[@BurnRoddy]

@@hjoerleif2 There's hidden eaater egg Age of Empires 2 song in one of the discs of Age of Mythology. The song is actually a spoof/parody of the Age of Empires 2 song that was made to prank fans of the franchize who were complaining there was no Age of Empires III, so instead of instruments it has a choir of people whose voices have been sped up to sound like chipmunks and the only thing they say is: "This is A G E of Three" but its actually the song from Age of Empires 2.
