First Person AoE2 in 2022

Two years ago I showed the First Person AoE2 mod which was pretty fun to play, now it's updated and more fun than ever! In this video I check out how it works and run into some interesting finds (and bugs lol) What do you think?

I must applaud that you played the bugged Alpha 3 until Imperial, this was a 1/100 chance game on first try!! The wood thing...which is already fixed...was caused by Farms XD. Thank you T90 for this great video!!

“I kinda want to elevate myself” T90 i think youre on to something here. They should make First Person AoE 2 from a zoomed out perspective. Like where you can see everyone from above. I think that game could be a hit.

[@cybersteel8]

Dude that's GENIUS how haven't they thought of that yet

[@mrguysnailz4907]

Actually, tall watch towers that the player could climb would be interesting here

[@EugeneOneguine]

From above First person Age of Empires II Definitive Edition (short is FAFPAOE2DE), is a game I'd definitely played

[@Redlabel0]

They should make a 1st person that goes 3rd person every now and then ñp

[@Hardcore_Remixer]

I think that would be Age of Empires 3, but I still like Age of Empires 2 more 😅

[@JosrRocks]

The VR version of this is going to be insane!!

[@JeffKubel]

The wood glitch happens because they don't charge you for queued buildings only those that are being built. Once they start building you can go negative.

[@sadiev2778]

I thought it was because of reseeding the farms

[@JeffKubel]

@@sadiev2778 that too because they get queued up when you run out of wood too

[@noksanzs1380]

My theory is that he was paying the wood cost of his enemies reseeding.. it happened way too random and too much considering he had like 4-5 farm, 75 wood for each, enemy had like 15 farms, he was jumping from 300 wood to -500..

[@sadiev2778]

@@noksanzs1380 ooh nice theory.....

[@tomato3972]

AoE2 was the main game of my childhood, so seeing how active the modding community still is is WILD. This looks insane!

Ive always wanted a multi-player game where one player controls armies from a birds eye view while the other player is in first person on the battle field. So victory relies on strategy but a skilled player in first person can help turn the tide.

[@galliman123]

RenegadeX gets close with the strategy aspect (one person is the commander)

[@schmecklin377]

Executive assault, silica

[@rb98769]

That game exists and it's called Savage and Savage 2. But it's pretty old now and I don't think anyone plays it anymore. I used to play it back in the 2000s.

Combine this with daggerfall, battle-realms unit creation and you've got the best game ever made! Plus some proper Gothic-like adventuring and map!

[@mrosskne]

what does battle realms unit creation mean?

[@mathdantastav2496]

this reminds me of frozen food cause when I watched the first episodes I ate a lot of frozen food lol

[@bigsmoke4592]

if this fixes the glitches and reestablishes stuff like 'select all idle villager' / 'select all idle military', this could be really good

[@BrentTJo]

Think the map needs to be key since it's hard to select an idle villager way far away since you can't jump like in AOE2 so have all idle villagers highlighted on the map in one shade and idle military in another shade so you can go to them.

[@jshdhsgsh]

This would be awesome if during a tournament between players, 100s of spectators could actually join the fight as 1st player, wrecking havoc

[@Catalysten]

MORE OF THIS PLEASE! This video is amazing. I would love to see a multiplayer game! :-D

[@kevinluu5879]

I feel like this would be awesome if you could switch from 1st person to regular AOE top down view. Top down view would be for eco management and then fighting would happen in 1st person. Also hotkeys to control different armies while fighting would be awesome you could look at a certain area in 1st person and just send a squad to that location. But if there was an area that you couldn't see you could pull up your map in hand and then position your armies on the map like a field commander. The potential is there though

[@tysonholt2083]

There is an RTS where you can go third person with your hero. Rise of Nations maybe?

[@stalwartarjuna]

Maybe going inside the TC or the Castle could give you a panoramic view of your base and enable you to control swathes of nearby units and structures.

[@yokatta-f]

@@stalwartarjuna In all honesty, ideas like this would have made Age of Empires IV so much better and original

I've always wanted to play a game like this I'd love it if you could team up with an overlord style player, or maybe you can zoom in and out, a bit like total war but in real time

[@brunoha]

When I first discovered that AoE II had a complete remake with DD, I thought that a first person view would've being included in the game, so you could have moments of feeling of leading your army right next to them to battle, it didn't got this feature, but the overall revamp of the graphics is already good too, especially the demolition animations at least.

No for elites esport rtses gamers ruins rts for us rest want multiplayer focus first and then we get small shit maps that fast play instead of listen to olschool rts gamers who want multi focus as a last focus and real rts gameplay not rush everything or have small shit maps only playeble

[@assitopia]

There is a rather old game called C&C Renegade, which combines the C&C RTS with a multiplayer shooter (only talking about the multiplayer part, because the single player doesn't count). Basically, 2 teams of players where each player takes on the role of 1 "unit" in an RTS with shared resources for the whole team. That concept could also work with AoE2 and this mod. Imagine a 20 player knight rush on the opposing team or 5 ppl. jumping into a mongolian drill ram.

[@galliman123]

Check out RenegadeX

[@zoomervincentian4018]

Was T90 drunk whilst making this video? Regardless, I'm definitely adding "gypped" to my vocabulary. I'd love to play a more stable and feature-complete version of this. It's incredible what remarkable things a single modder can achieve.

[@zmdeadelius]

The AI wasn't harvesting resources because it was busy finding a way to crash the game right before your main attack. Duh.

Just play Empire Earth, its basically AoE on steroids and much better and you can switch stepless between first person mode and the regular from above view in vanilla EE.

T90 constantly having negative wood problems *lennyface*

[@MrLorddarktoothx]

17:53 its bugged somehow while you were dragging the farm to build over the water, the game somehow counted as you wasting the wood for a farm, charging you for a full farm for every water tile the farm silhouette touches. you went from +543 wood to -340. a total of 883 wood.

I think they should still have a bird's eye view when you try to play a building. Itd help with building your base easier like In regular Aoe. But this first person view for everything else is awesome. If they could make a game where it has a mixture of AOEs bird's eye view system with this first person aspect and combat like from chivalry 2, with the army control system from bannerlord 2 would be chefs kiss 😘

I think to make this competitive you should have 3-4 people playing per normal game "player" and voice chat. Then you can start with one person microing vills, one scouting, on drushing, then later, walling, managing going opposite sides of the map etc. And of course you could team up in combat
