Just make a bunch of castle unique units and trebuchets y'all

Also had to disable UHD in my notebook, which is already somewhat aged. Runs pretty smooth, even more than AoE 1 DE for some reason.

boy, those are the roughest campaigns you tried, yeah. El cid, Mongols, Tamerlane, atilla, Portugal campaigns are all a bit more fun imo. Scots campaign is the tutorial, and France is the first 'real' campaign but still basic as hell. Aztecs are weird because of the no cav and gunpowder thing, which makes grinding down enemy bases and hunting down stray units a pain.
Didn't really try the newer ones (africa/asia).

Also gently caress the pop limit in the first Aztec mission

I really like playing coop games against AI on AOE2DE. We should give it a go someday.
I also have been playing the singleplayer quests on AOE Online, resurrected by Project Celeste, with all the premium bullshit now free for the taking. Don't let the MMO stuff irks you out, check it out: https://www.projectceleste.com/

I'll probably be playing tomorrow (Saturday) night if you or anyone else is around. My steam name is the same as my SA name.

And added.

If someone's up for some AOE2DE, feel free to add:

poo poo, I've been blacklilsted from the official SA server for some reason. I'll see what I can do.

EDIT: Sorted

EDIT: Never mind, I'm also banned from the main SA server with no reasons given. I've found out some admin there is pretty power-trippy but I'm not bringing this bullshit to this thread.

AoE 1 is a big deal in Vietnam, like how Starcraft was in Korea:

I wonder if the Definitive Edition is being used for their tournaments. AOE 1 DE is a pretty mediocre "remastering" compared to 2.

(including a bug where the game wipes everything in the C: drive).

I've been playing that for the last few weeks and WHAT THE gently caress? :stare:

They really should stop trying to make an RTS focused on "competitive multiplayer" though, that's pretty stupid. Starcraft and other successful RTSes got popular on multiplayer because they have solid singleplayer content.

Man the music in that tempestuous game sounds like a mix of dubstep and Doom 2016-style buttmetal.

Ew

Wtf is with game names these days? Waroni? Come on. Was that the sequel to Warghetti or Warvioli, I forget? Oh, no, it was Warvatappi.

Just in case you weren't just seizing the opportunity for a silly joke, it's probably because of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronoi_diagram
