Ich hab noch ein paar Windows 10 Laptops, die nur für #AgeOfEmpires2 (Klassische Variante mit Conquerers Extension) Sessions verwendet werden. Gibt es einen Weg, #aoe2 auf Linux Basis zum laufen zu bringen - mit lokalem Multiplayer Mode per TCP/IP?

This was a fun Age of Empires 2 match to watch, a really solid back and forth even if it drags a tad toward the end.

For any other AoE2 heads out there, I just need to say how much I love the new patch. I've always wanted infantry to be more than absolutely useless as they have been for forever, so as you can imagine, I'm having some good fun lately.

Also those new Castles, Monks, & Elite unit skins are 🔥

I bought the original Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings in 1999. It turns out I cannot update to any subsequent edition without buying the game again, which sucks. However, I have seen there are lots of custom campaigns online. Most seem to be for Definite Edition or at least HD edition. Any idea of where to find user-made custom campaigns for the original 1999 edition? Cheers!

I always knew about the Wololo since the 90s, but now that I played the AoE expansion for AoE2, I also now got the Hamena-Hamena...

I know this is Moderate AI and I am back to the level where I can crush Moderate very reliably without any sweat now.

But what the fuck happened here?
I destroyed the TC and Barracks before I even saw a villager, and it had not build a single warrior. It didn't even advance to the next age.
Seems like AI crapped out on this one.

Having played the Return to Rome expansion for Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition, that ports the original Age of Empires (but not the Rise of Rome expansion) to the AoE2DE engine, I have to say I do not recommend it. 😕

In multiplayer/skirmish, the units and advancement paths seem much less refined in comparison, and resource collecting in the early game feels more tedious.

And in campaign play, the AoE campaigns are all much worse than in AoE2.

#retrogaming #AoE2 #videogames

So the "Return to Rome" expansion does port the original Age of Empire campaigns into AoE2 DE, but does not include the "Rise of Rome" expansion.

That seems like deceptive advertising.

@mamba @DopeGhoti Well, at least I seem to have settled in the low 500s, where the other players are similarly poor at the game. 😅

The last few games, I got a narrow victory twice, and the rest of the time the pressure from my opponents feels like a volume that I can process. First attacks are repelled, and with just a few more of my guys surviving and new training being just a bit faster, I could go back on the offensive.
I understand what's happening.

That's bottom 5% players. 😆
#AoE2

Ooooooh!!! 🤩

Shortly after I stopped playing Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition two years ago, they released all of Age of Empires 1 as an expansion for 15€.

I never actually played that game. Totally gotta get it.

I really don't know why I keep getting pulled back into playing Age of Empires 2 competitively every day.

I am really bad at the game.

And I know I keep losing almost every game because I have not yet gotten around to start building an army when the other player invades my base. What I am completely lacking is the most basic RTS skill of doing both at the same time.
And still I want to play more every day.

#AoE2 #retrogaming #videogames

Hey, I once again won an AoE2 game!

Climbed the ladder back to a rank over 600! 😅

(I hat 4 trebuchets and he had no castle. That's the kind of players I am ranked with.)

Replaying the Barbarossa campaign in Age of Empires 2 like this.

What was the point of this? Nothing really. I just wanted to show them!

#AoE2 #retrogaming

I picked up Age of Empires 2 again and thought I could replay the campaigns on silver.

My life if pain and suffering!!!

I might insanely try to continue with this in two or three days, but playing more than just the French campaign on silver is not going to happen. Bronze is perfectly enough.

#retrogaming #rts #AoE2

I am playing Age of Empires 2 again, because youtube randomly recommended me a T90 video again.

And according to steam, I have 143 hours on Definitive Edition when I played two years ago. How did that happen?!

#AoE2

Bueno, ya he hecho mucho hoy por la casa y el gato, me toca distraerme un poco con una partida en el #AoE2 o quizas un rato en #Skyrim y por que no tratar de recuperar mi nave en #EVE.
Como sea necesito tener de fondo un poco de música #reggae.

The July 17, 1998 prototype of Age of Empires II offers a rare look at the game's early development. This pre-alpha build features a UI similar to the original Age of Empires, incomplete AI, missing animations, and an exclusive E3 scenario showcasing early promotional battles. It also includes cut features like the "Snow" terrain type, making it a fascinating artifact of RTS history.
