[@billn.1318]

I bought this game back in 1998 for $20. Played in my old compaq and I recall playing for hours and hours to no end. I got my friends in the neighborhood to play this so we all played together. We were kids so naturally, this fed our imagination to play like age of empires in real life ( minus the bloodshed ). The apartment community I had lived at had a bunch of kids from ages 6-12. My neighbor's father worked in metal fabrication and construction and he lets us use some of the metal scraps to build "greek" armor and "greek" swords. We dumpster-dived and found old wooden broomsticks and turned them into "hoplite" dori spears. Our shields were trash cans and often times - we parted out existing wooden cabinet planks and turned them into shields. We used to have pitched battles in the nearby apartment community field. It would be 10 vs 10. We would often flip a coin to see which team are in the stone age and have to use really crappy homemade axes. The other team will have hoplite spears and shields. We used to make makeshift bows until a smart ass in our group decided to sharpen the tip of the arrows and actually hit someone on the arm. So we banned bows. Just swords, axes and shields. We formed our formations but lacked the discipline. We kids literally hit each other. There was blood, there were tears and we fought like animals. We even took things to the ground! To this day there are no accounts of someone that yielded. We were tough kids and we always played from 5pm-8pm. Best childhood ever. We kept this up until 2001 and the cost of rent in the apartments got expensive and families moved out. Only myself and my neighbor were the only ones left. We did " train " a few newcomers but it was not the same and eventually dissipated. Time got a hold of and we got older. I found out years later most of us are now avid ancient greek history buffs, a few of the original "warband" became metallurgists and engineers. A few became history teachers teaching ancient history and military warfare. Some are home designers who design greek/roman inspired homes in California. The neighbor that I grew up with are like family to me and he became a construction engineer just like his father. His father designs ancient rome murials and ancient greek stone carvings for mansions. We have a project next year to seal our legacy of building our own swords and shield - properly. The swords will engrave each of the original kids names of 1998-2001.

[@jaypoole8056]

[@joakobolso18]

I remember the sound when a fishing boat was created, TSUNUNEEEEEEE

[@TheJawesomeOne]

Wow I thought I forgot that but your comment brought that memory right back

[@LiamMayfair]

In my opinion this first game is the hardest of the entire franchise. I've easily beaten AoE II campaign and usually play AoE III in hard difficulty without an issue but oh man, this game... I can't even win a single game in normal difficulty.

[@AaronPaden]

The AI cheats like crazy in this game, IIRC.

[@dshodaw]

I always try to outlast them on resources.. Raid their farms and fishing boats, once they ran out, I'd pounce... In AOE2 I sometimes couldn't apply that though, because of better AI and them building wonders in the later missions

[@MawksProductions]

I think AoE I is just hard because of the bad pathfinding and cheating AI. AoE II is much more in depth and can get so damn hard to play online

[@jared5799]

I played AOE on the Zone. Had many good matches mainly got into Wonder racing, made a few custom maps for Wonder racing with trees to prevent attacking.

[@isthisnickvalid]

So I have this theory about why old videogame music is so memorable. At first I thought it was just subjective, it's just that we were kids back then and thus enjoyed things more. But I believe there's something more to it. I believe the MIDI and mod formats forced the composers to create clean and yet catchy melodies. Nowadays it's hard for me to remember videogame music. But when it comes to Gameboy games, PC music from MIDI files, etc.... I can remember the songs note for note. I also believe that because the sound is "purer" (it's easier to hear clean notes) maybe it's easier for our brain to memorize these songs. Just thinking out loud. Thanks for uploading this OST 😃

[@leehitt4704]

Maybe. It's also easier to memorize things when you are a kid.

[@DnBastard]

interesting perspective, thank you. I think you're right it does sound cleaner, there's not too much layering at any one time

[@RennieAsh]

You only have to look at the new orchestrally remastered tracks, they have so much more stuff in them and changes a lot making it take far longer to memorise it. The AoE2 DE ones seem a bit cleaner than AoE1 DE. I can remember them after a while of listening as a music track

[@ryleyw3684]

Take the medal of Honor allied assault theme music for another example I remember that so well, even though I still play it to this day on multiplayer, it's one I'll remember for a long time.

[@arcwiz]

I think it's a "steel table" kinda thing. A steel table may be precise, look clean, and stable, but there's nothing memorable about it. Conversely, a wooden table may have a few Knicks in it, may not be as precise, but is memorable

[@Eurotool]

22:00 Best track

[@dieglhix]

+Zebulon Zeytan Agree the best track. Warcraft 2 OST is as good as this too

[@manowartank8784]

true true, it's the very best AOE song at all, followed by Cave and Rain :) then comes some of the AOE 2 :D

[@Ioreks]

God dam this sound so much like a FF10 song!

[@Matuno89]

FF knowitall reporting - No, this would definitely be FF8 material. Look up "The stage is set" and note the similarities ;)

[@mkaali]

ruassmarkt Where is it exactly used? I don't remember ever hearing this

[@ruassmarkt]

whenever you start a map

[@mkaali]

Oh, okay. Because I remember hearing the next one as the start music. I had the gold edition anyway so it kinda mixed the two soundtracks

[@slendy9600]

oh yeah that track always got me pumped with optimism... such good memories

[@MyDeef]

+ruassmarkt I loved that while exploring the map in the beginning!! This game is almost litteraly the reason why I started being interested in history. To think I went studying history many years later.

[@MrArekrem]

Perfect. I love how anachronistic, ambient and minimalist it is, gives an unique vibe to this historical strategy. Definitive Edition's orchestral arrangements, while impressive in their own right, can't hold a candle to this.

[@Ackalan]

Indeed, the simplicity from the stone age drum and pipe to the musical cords in the Post-Iron Age hinted subtly to the advancement of the culture, it's a major reason to why I don't enjoy the DE-version.

[@nicholas8380]

Feel so good as a kid had those games on my dad's pc and I thank him for that cause I did not have to win or even knew what to do I kinda played it cause it was (is) so awesome game...

Well, now AoE will also have "extremely nice graphics" ;-)

[@ludovicbedouet3915]

The memories! Hey, who has memories? I surely do, about this game anyway. My father and (now late) grandfather were off to buy me an educational game. They tried to get one called "Socrates", but could not find it. However, they saw this game in the store, and both being history freaks (as well as I am today), agreed this was a perfect choice just by looking at the cover. I mean, holy shit, they were right! This was THE BEST GAME EVER at the time! I want to thank both my father and grandfather right here, right now, as I am listening to this awesome soundtrack, and just say that you are (or in my grandfather's case, were) plain awesome.

I liked most of them, though “gamelan” was one that stick around too

[@Ragnarok_494]

13:54 my favourite. always loved that one

[@ihadtochooseaname8532]

Reminds me of the harbours I build and fishing boats ⛵

[@ImAFutureGuitarHero]

Best part: 22:00 - 24:48

[@ChaseSandman]

I always used to attack with that one!

[@Nik-sp5yh]

Thank you so much for these tracks. I really appreciate this. THIS is childhood and youth for me. I had friends and family, a good time with them, but the feeling gaming Age of Empires was always something very special. THIS was my favourite game and will remain until death. So many hours spent building Greek, Egyptian, Babylonian or Choson civilisations! Wololo, friends! ❤️

[@realjp1nk]

24:48 la legendaria música que identifica al AoE, hoy después de jugar años al 1, la escucho por 1ra vez en su versión original. Estoy que exploto de amorr!!! 😍❤

[@Em013L]

8:35, this is beautiful!

[@christianmaas8934]

You discover a coastline and a whale breaches

[@natMcil]

13:55 memories..

[@berserker2551]

yes :(

[@remco_dbr]

That build-up of the song starting at 11:02 all the way up to its climax is just the loveliest part of playing this game, period

[@vasilichasanidis9914]

Yess😭😭

[@JennyfaninSweden]

27:00 just brings chills down my spine, my childhood!

[@aliciangli89]

22:00 that song is soooooooooooo epic

[@balenciiaga4158]

AlisÍnger jeah i Miss it

[@alonsomorales6973]

I was attacking with everything i got with this soundtrack. Damn i miss that feeling..

[@LobarRobotic]

This brings back memories of eating pepperoni pizza in a quarry.

[@МишаКузин-ф3э]

Слушая эту музыку, я погрузился в нирвану, мысленно перед взором у меня пронесся 1999 год, когда я был мелкий, прогуливал школу и играл в АОЕ1. :) Ностальгия, которую не передать словами.

[@gr3y_eminence]

I'm running the old soundtrack in the background of the new version. I've been using the HD patch for years but I have to say, maybe due to low expectations with these "remasters," it's been a worthwhile experience just playing through the Egyptian campaign so far!

[@SalemSunset]

I'm pretty sure you're missing one song. I don't know what it's called. But it has a lot of was is mean't to be drums in it.

[@szerelem5740]

memories and feeling from my childhood... Thank you Microsoft and Ensemble Studios!! You made so many beautiful moments to my life with Age of Empires!!! Love, Peace!

[@HIVEMINDxMusic]

Man I wish the song at 0:00 was longer. It has such cool percussion

[@kevinvalentino8332]

Such a wonderful, nostalgic game. The soundtrack slaps too.

[@andremoreira20]

Tears almost fall from my eyes upon listening to this.

[@KrimsonStorm]

I remember playing this game when I was 5. It's what started my love of military tech. The mission builder was so much fun when I was 7, and lead to me eventually modding games and from there get a software job because of my coding knowledge. Now I'm working on a videogame in my spare time. I owe a lot to this game.

[@andrewavenenti8716]

Thank youuuu

[@a.thales7641]

my first real pc game was Age of Empires 1 - The Rise of Rome. (Demo) Oh my god, i loved it very much. But it took me a whole 2 weeks to master the game. Okay, one reason was that i only played about 1 hour each time.

[@baseddoggie]

AOE1 will always be my favorite RTS. This music sends me straight back to when I was 10

[@paaatreeeck]

When you win sea, but Bot wins land, type "flying dutchman", in the chat

i cried and got chill hearing this OST again .... ohh the memory ...

[@hairypluton]

J'avais 4 ans quand ce jeu m'a envouté. Que de souvenirs ! :')

[@ayoubsbai6339]

J'avais 6 ans moi Ce jeu était vraiment fascinant :)

[@KuriosBebop]

Pareil pas bien vieux.. mon cousin plus agé l'avait, à chaque fois qu'on allait chez lui on y passait l'aprem (lui n'étant déjà plus chez ses parents) mon dieu les souvenirs!

My childhood. The age of innocence and magic.

[@chetabumposess09]

Got one of those in a cereal box in 2003

[@YourSweatyUncle]

I remember I had a demo of this that I played over and over, and one project I had as a kid was to cut every tree on the map.

[@cynderfan2233]

I still remember how the old AI would just build walls of towers and spend entire matches shooting at each other.

[@Ackalan]

Ah yes, the infamous ballista tower duels.

[@Clint945]

Always surprised how this game (or AOE 2) didn't reach professional gaming standards like starcraft did. We used to have so many LAN parties and we preferred this over any other strategy game.

[@Mathin3D]

I love AOE better than any game ever, but it was kind of IMBA. If you are Hittite, Horse Archers and catapults. Egyptian, Priests and Scythe's. Choson and Romans, legions. Greek centurions plus Siege. Carthaginian, Armoured Elephants. You get the point, no real balance.

[@Dysturbed-00]

I remember playing this on my first crative labs speaker system with a subwoofer. This was some of the only music I had on CD at the time and the fidelity was incredible.
