The effort you put into this is obvious, but it also really highlights how janky aoe2 formations, pathfinding and sound effects are. I don't notice it as much when playing, but watching it as a cinematic makes it so apparent it's a 20+ yr old game under the remastered graphics.

This was better than the Agincourt Campaign battle in the game

[@danielmaynard1370]

Nice video, it was fun to the history visualised with Age of Empires 2, have you played the Agincourt level? Just a note, from all accounts the English suffered very minor casualties with a few hundred or so casualties, with the death of the Duke of York being the most important man being slain. Whereas the French lost thousands of men of both nobles and commons with one source the Deeds of henry V, stating the French lost 3 dukes, 5 counts, 90 barons, 1500 knights and 4000-5000 men killed or wounded with two dukes captures, 3 counts, the marshal and several other noblemen. The prisoners also posed a threat because they were so many, of them a breakout by the French prisoners mid-battle could result in the English army being attacked on both sides.

[@historyforgamers]

Thank you very much for your comment Daniel, I'm glad you liked the video. No, I haven't played the Agincourt historical battle in AoE2. I agree with you about the information you provide about the battle of Agincourt. Regarding the number of casualties, I do not give that information in the video because I consider that it may be too many numbers for most people.

Must be hard being French and a war-history enthusiast at the same time. The battles where France is defeated is the most popular to talk about and the battles where France is victorious (Which are numerous) are almost forgotten.

Yes, England has always known how to take advantage of their victories very well and minimize their defeats historically. Tomorrow I'll put a poll on the next video I'm going to do and, coincidentally, all the options are English defeats.

2 questions, the first, for the French knights, did you use knights or paladins? And how did you do so that the archers could beat the paladins or knights? in the game I would win these

[@historyforgamers]

For the French horsemen I used knights and paladins. As for the English archers, I gave them more attack in the game editor. In addition, the stakes in front of the archers also deal damage to French units.

Yes, I plan to share some scenarios, but keep in mind that the stats of several units are modified and there are triggers that affect the battle so that it happens more or less as it really was, that is, it is not always a fair battle...

[@theshiningones349]

@@historyforgamers yeah. It is correct. For example, I would love to Play the Christian Crusade series, so if you would make both Economy and Military based campaigns, mixed or separate as per the History, it would be fun to play. , In the beginning, the Christians were conquering, but since mistakes by Raynald and other leaders, they lost at Hattin. Also, I would love to play Ottoman Expansion in Europe, and then when Europe fights back to drive the Ottoman out once and for all. Hope, it is not too much to ask for. Fingers crossed. But, I love the way you make these great Historical Events playable. Also, since I am from India, can you make a set of campaigns when Shivaji and his descendants strike (the Islamic Mughal/Mongols back and defeat them in Delhi (Formally known as Indraprastha before Islamists defeat Indraprasth)). By taking India back from foreign invaders until European Powers such as Portuguese, French, and British arrived in India and defeated the Marathas (Descendants of Shivaji). Maratha can be put as a mix of Hindustanis and Gurjar when it comes to civs.

Tell me please what do you mean by “horseman“ and man-at arms? Because man-at-arms is mounted unit trough middle ages (yeah, the way how AoE II portrait it is absolutely wrong). They sometimes fight afoot but man-at-arms is well armored, trained horseman. Knight is in fact man-at-arms (but not all man-at-arms are knights).

There are a number of mobile ads out there that rip off Age of Empires. They either steal footage or just copy it. It's all pretty interesting tbh. AoE 2 is one of the greatest games of all time haha. Not even “it might be one of” - it is. The current version of the game is “Age of Empires 2: Definitve Edition, released in 2019. There’s a healthy pro scene, healthy Twitch scene, and tons of content on KZbin covering the game. It ranks around #50 on the Steam Charts for active player count. Pretty sick. Annnd it still gets updates :) Its fanbase also spans the globe. The United States/Argentina/Brazil/Mexico/France/Germany/Spain/Norway/the UK/China, the list goes on. Interestingly, Age of Empires 1 [one] is like…the national game of Vietnam - kind of like StarCraft is/was for South Korea.
