Arts & Humanities Age of Empires

[HolyRioli]

I'm in too.


As for whoever called the Franks crap, how dare you. Free farm upgrades and cheap castles? Bah. Just because their unique stunk

 

[PunyHumans!!!]

Any unit that threw axes should've been pure win but alas, the Franks sucked balls.

 

[DO IT TO IT]

huns>all

 

[Kyptastic]

If I can find my discs, I'll play too.

 

[volcboy]

How incredibly bad were the french? Wow. Those axe throwers really sucked ass.

The French were great for wonder rush due to cheap castles - you could pump up massive amounts of castles to protect your wonder. You could also quickly build a 'castle road' to your opponents camps to protect advancing troops, or throw up 2-3 castles in an advanced camp just out of range of your opponent.

The great thing about AOE was that you could use all teams to your advantage in different ways.

s**t. Thread brings back memories!

Thank you to Nutri-Grain for introducing me to this game. Played it heaps, nearly always ended up cheating if I wasn't playing on an easy-ish level. Thread has inspired me to get back into game, 6 week uni holiday

Bigfooty death match tournament?

Down like a Clown.

**** it's a hard game sometimes though. I always lose track of everything by the imperial age and end up having about 50 idle villagers cause theres no stone or gold left.

 

[WakeUpPies]

Always rolled with the Japanese, samurais butchered everything in seconds.

Thought i'd try something different and i played as the Goths................................never again

There economy is shocking and i had virtually no form of defense to protect myself, the match was over in 45 minutes

i always used to try a militia rush with the goths but it never seemed to work

Age of Empires 2 made me buy Age of Empires 3. **** you AOE2.

 

[Macca19]

AOE2 and Civ II were great.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Anyone in this thread discussing a version of Age Of Empires that's not AOE 2, you're doing it wrong.

 

[ClarkeM]

Best call^

 

[CHIEF SMACKAHOE]

look for me on gameranger

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Amazing game, just defeated the Mayans easily with the Spanish armarda to powerful, cannon galleons ftw

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Bigfooty death match tournament?

In like Flynn.

Thankyou OP, for giving me a reason to waste my uni holidays starting tomorrow.

Britons all the way. March with longbowmen leading the way, and a layer of swordsmen and paladins protecting the trebuchets. Domination.

I always get ****ed by not controlling the water, even when playing as the Vikings.

 

[Kyptastic]

What version has everyone got - I can't find my Conquerors disc atm.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

^^
I've got the conqerors, cant go wrong

 

[Kyptastic]

No, I meant what updated version. If there's going to be matches, IIRC we all need the same update version.

 

[volcboy]

I 'found' a copy of AOE today - could be dangerous with a busy week of work coming up

I'd be in for a deathmatch challenge

Your welcome mate. I'll be doing the exact same thing

 

[Richo is God]

How do you play online?

 

[CHIEF SMACKAHOE]

How do you play online?

first, download the 1.0c patch (found here), and then download the gameranger client (here) and register an account

Now this got my attention, about exam time last year I discovered EB Games were selling Age of Empires 1 and 2 along with their expansion packs for $20... Subsequently the quality of my work suffered.

As everyone has said the only game that should be discussed is 2.

I was also introduced to the first game through Nutri-Grain; however in a much cooler way than you would expect. Our Year 7 English teacher decided that one of our 'core' teaching modules would be to play Age of Empires in class and then discuss what we had just done in a way that real civilisations would have done (i.e. scout for food, build houses, come into conflict for resources etc.). I still fondly remember that beautiful lady.
