AoE1 vs AoE2 Cheat Code Tournament

[@CGDW2]

That first stealth archer round was hilarious.

[@GamesCourier]

Yeah I laughed so hard

[@muhammetaydogmus4404]

yeah, he got me lacking

[@Muenni]

[@phoenixlordx4625]

it was funny, but actually the wrong outcome. the archer needed 4 hits to kill the monk.

Thanks for validating my "these cars aren't nearly as good" feeling I had as a kid going from cheating in AoE1 to cheating in AoE2.

[@tuuZhao]

Me too! I was like, whaaaatt aoe2's 'bigdaddy' sux!

[@patrickfrei9322]

I've always known I couldn't be the only one 😄😄 lLuckily I no longer use cheats. In a way, aoe2's bad cheat units made me learn how to play both games

[@anubhavkumarc]

This is why you always summon a swarm of them

[@GoranXII]

@@tuuZhao it's not that it necessarily sucks, but it's fairly situational, given that it has terrible aim (a sufficiently randomly moving scout can keep one tied up for a surprisingly large amount of time), and it's worse against most buildings than Alfred the Alpaca.

[@tobiasfeil1993]

Yeah, big daddy could take out a 3x3 square of 9 houses in a single shot. That same feat took cobra quite a while

[@jakestevens7165]

It's weird getting a quality video like this and NOT on April 1st

[@rusinoe8364]

This was serious business! No joking around here.

[@HazmanFTW]

Man the photoman doesn't lie down any more :(

[@norrdal]

This video reminds me a lot of the channel "Jelle's Marble Runs". You could turn this into a series like AOE Olympics with different units/civs competing against each other.

[@ghost_curse]

I feel like SOTL has definitely done an AOE Olympics type video before

[@youmukonpaku3168]

​@@youmukonpaku3168 Hehe, where was this again?

[@the_SolLoser]

Yes! So glad i found this comment because i had the same idea! There is so much potential in the Olympics of AoE!

[@dakamaxdeum8497]

It also reminded me of a channel of AoE 2 called “Among the Sheep” or something like that, with similar videos (and a monkey as a profile). Like vs, animations, all of them made in AoE II HD and last ones DE A couple of examples: a Vs of Shotelai against Karambits, and a “Monk cover” (when they are starting to convert units) of The Imperial March, from Star Wars.

[@ferrariramsgobrrr]

there was no feeling more terrifying in aoe1 than playing against the ai, creating a Winsett's Z and then somehow managing to lose it to a conversion

[@mintoo2cool]

it was insane how good the priest was in AOE1 .. specially if the superpriest cheat was used with gave all priests 600hp!!

[@jundies171]

​@@mintoo2coolif you used hoyohoyo before getting techs you could get 1200hp iirc

[@sentientsardine9729]

@@mintoo2cool The trick was to do the cheat and then research the tech that doubles priests' health, because it would double the already boosted stat to skyrocket you to 1200. Because you know, it really mattered that much

[@Mark-nn2ce]

We need more cheat code content. Also, I'm proud of Cobra Car's performance.

Is he a top or bottom tho

[@Orine7]

I really think that the "Truck Truck Truck" monster truck from AOE3 could easily beat any unit in all AOE. Also, the canada bear could be a tough fight for the alpaca king.

[@VineFynn]

Honestly, it would kick ass if there was another tournament that included aoe 3 and aom cheat units.

[@NovelTE]

60,000 HP, 1,200 damage as an aura, and 90% damage reduction to melee.

[@flazzorb]

Nuke trooper destroying the entire forest has to be the funniest visual gag here.

[@Gotmilk0112]

Curiously missing is the tricycle baby from the "pow" cheat code. Unless that was replaced by another similar unit.

[@GoranXII]

It's not an editor unit, the rest are.

[@seanshepherd1071]

I mean, the conclusion was not surprising to say the least. Nothing stood a chance in a 1v1 against either Z besides the other, and higher damage per shot will dominate when attack speed isn't a factor due to the short duration of combat

[@StargateurBis]

medusa have a chance if the car wasn't going fast & furious

[@terbentur2943]

Insert Dragonball Z joke

[@ArawnOfAnnwn]

Some of them have an incredibly long range, which was completely negated by having them duel in close quarters.

[@sparepartssparepartsempori519]

While i dont know if it was the first cheat code i ever used, i know that bigdaddy was the first age of enpires cheat code i ever used. Glad to see its still the daddy.

[@kikaioshin6700]

But can they compete with AoE 3's Monster Trucks?

[@GraveUypo]

this photonman is so much weaker than the one in the original AOE... that one has like 4 times as much attack speed

[@ABoyNamedJoe]

Spirit! What a great video. The weaknesses for the penguin and St. Francis were hilarious!

[@codycardin]

In the battle of the ghost ship and the penguin, the countdown sounded like the countdown from Wave Race from the N64

[@shigerufan1]

And the spacemen countdown was from Episode 1 Podracer

[@michaelandreipalon359]

​@@shigerufan1 That was also a healing sound in Star Wars: Battlefront II 2005, far as I heard.

​@Michael Andrei Palon %100 percent it was. That's why SOTL is the best, he's one of us.

[@scarletcroc3821]

The stealth archer rounds were the funniest. First we're surprised by looking at the wrong tree, an impressive display of the stealth archer's, well, stealth. And then we're blown away (literally) by the immensive display of force as every single tree in the arena is obliterated. This is quality content right here.

[@ItsJabo]

10:21 is that the Star Wars Podracer sfx, the N64 one… 😮

I always enjoyed Lazer bear in age of mythology the best. Could be used as fast ground based scouts, could hold the line against enemy troops and titans. Not sure I ever saw one die.

[@ikemeitz5287]

I'm glad that the OG big daddy won. When I played this as a kid, it was the only cheat that me and my brothers knew at first, so all the cheats in AoE 1 and AoE 2 somehow were all just called "big daddies"

The only problem is that sometimes daddy accidentally wipe out half of your armies with his splash damages. Thats why I prefer momma

I absolutely LOVE that the countdown timer sound effect was the healing Droid effect from Battlefront 2 (2005)

[@kelvinsomnia]

I think he chose it because it was actually the countdown from Star Wars Racer. Kinda crazy that they used the same sound effect for two totally different purposes

Might Cobra Car have been nerfed? Not being the iconic blue, I feel may have handicapped it. Somehow.

[@GoranXII]

It's not nerfed, it was always that mediocre.

That was creative and I liked the addition of the noot noot for the Penguin. Now I want to see heros from AOE 1 and 2 battling it out in the same way.

[@IHeliosI]

Hey SotL, how about a video revising all team bonuses and a top 5 and bottom 5 out of all the new ones?

[@Masitu0031]

I upvote your suggestion but that video would be rendered obsolete as soon as a next big update comes. So, yeah. Enjoy this lighthearted joke right now.

[@TheArklyte]

With AoE1 units now being available in AoE2 editor, I feel like it's just asking for new custom campaigns from beginners, who can't mod units themselves. Stealth Archer, Flying Dutchman and Saint Francis would fit right in with a certain tale of adventuring and magical jewelry;)

[@mlmf2012]

Heres an olympics idea. Each olympics category should have maybe 5-8 civs competing, and only one unit per civ. (Unless multiple units are needed) Here are a couple of olympic sports we can do: - Distance Throwing(no thumbring or balistics): while the longbowman or cannoneer may seem like the easy victor, if they miss theyre disqualified lol - 100 Square Dash and 100 Square Gallop: the victor may feel obvious but maybe put some obstacles and mess with their pathing system - Endurance: any human unit enduring against any unit of choice. (Each civ gets to choose what their attacker unit is) Will it be the teuton's teutonic knight to win? Or the huskarl against archers? Or maybe the berserker will come out with the surprise victory? Sounds like this could be fun - Stone/Gold Breaking: civs with mining bonus are the clear choice, but which civ has the best mining bonus i guess. Maybe add a bit of pathing obstacles or distance from mining camp to make it more unpredictable. - Wood Cutting: same as the gold/stone but with wood - Pushing Competition: simply put, you have 2 groups in a narrow hallway and they have to push through to the other side without killing. The first civ to have all units reach the other side wins - Attacker Gauntlet: the civs choose their champion and and will have to fight a unit of their choice one at a time till they die. The civ with the most kills win At the end the civs will rack up their gold/silver/bronze medals and will be displayed at the end.

[@thire7432]

Love the video! But I miss the “hoyohoyo”, “icbm”, and the VMDL unit. I am partially disappointed.
