This video has an insane amount of nostalgic value for me. The music, effects, game, everything. I also remember watching this video as a kid. If you're reading this MemoryChief, thanks for making this video!
The answer to 0:38 is actually pretty obvious immediately when you see the scorpions. Scorpion bolts pass right through enemies, so each of the surrounding scorpion's attacks were able to cover a larger area and hit multiple targets, whereas each scorpion in the middle could only hit one or two scorpions per shot. However, the outcome likely would've been very different if the unit choices were infantry, cavalry, etc. instead.
only 7 years late replying, but the outcome if these were melee units still would of been the outer units winning, the more surface area of active units you have, the more damage. whereas the central units will block each other. However, the process of surrounding your enemy may lead to casualties, making surrounding them pointless. With ranged units, it is all dependent on how your units decide to target the enemies, so will differentiate with micromanagement, and luck.
Thanks! I always wanted to be sure not to actually make 100 peasants just to send them to attack an elite elephant. Best 5000 food I've ever saved in my entire life!
to not making it so easy, altought you can marco, polo and then disable polo. my comment was about the video saying the usselessness of the vdml, only that. In a realistic way, yeah, it is pointless. sorry for bad english
the trebuchet fight red won becuse 3 1.red has more trebuchet 2.red has a civ that has trebuchet more powerfull 3.blue ordered some of the trebuchet to not attack
With villagers vs war elephant you select the villagers in the centre, that way people with room can move in and attack. Instead you're just leaving them there by selecting the sides of the crowd.
I love Age of Empire so much especially Age of Empire 2 Age of Kings and and with extended pack (the Conquerors). The campaigns are amazing. I love building cities for scenario. They have amazing architecture.
Surrounded or in the centre?... you do know scorpions do damage in a line, making them always more powerful to bunched up units? Outcomes can be different for different units.
TheShorty0ne The code is: "I LOVE THE MONKEY HEAD" in chat mode. Created after one of the AOE creator Dave Lewis who prob like the former band Monkey Head or whatever reasons ;)
VDML is actually usefull. If you don't use marco and polo to open fog, you can take out a VDML and make him go from east to west to north to south and open the map. Because he is running reall fast :D
The Trebuchet fight reminds me of why I never wanted to play this game. You have one battle with only a handful of units on both sides, and they can't fit it on the screen at the same time? How annoying to have to constantly scroll back and forth to see what is going on.
that trebuchet fight should be a thing. I was getting excited for my blue boys at the end. clearly at a disadv with those 2 trebs together and the reds were three and split apart. whew. i d watch this on twitch.
When you ask what's better, surrounding or being in the center, you're using units that do damage as long as their "arrow" is still flying. So when you are in the center, you're basically screwed with those. In any other situation, it's better to be in the center. Try it, you'll see
Thank- you, now I know who would win in a fair trebuchet fight. And let's just give a thank-you again to those 100 villagers and that war elephant, great job guys!
Maybe the elephant vs villagers fight would have had a different outcome if the villagers were coming at him one at a time (since he deals AOE damage, so here he was able to damage more than one of them with each attack).
the 2nd part, where you're checking whether it's better to surround or be surrounded isn't thought out very well. Scorpions have splash damage, so it's obvious it's better to spread your units apart. You should try that with a non-splash damaging unit, like spearmen or something
The whole "surround or center" thing only applied to those scorpions because they have piercing projectiles that to damage to anything it touches, letting every single one of the scorpions on the outside do maximum damage. The story is different with melee units.

Holy fuck it's been over a year since I last heard this song in a youtube video.

I really want to believe this was Spirit of the Law 8 years ago
It was! I actually remember seeing this video in 2010 like it was the coolest thing ever.
No way is this really him?
Can't possibly be him
Spirit of the law, you here??? Let us know we also wanna know if you're casually explained on CZcams
That abhorrent song choice, the shitty resolution, this video just reeks of 2008.
well it IS from 2008
NIGGAS THATS THE JOKE
Quarker do you still play aoe2? I wanna get back into it maynge
NIGGAS i play the Steam HD edition haha
Quarker do i have to get steam to play it then? i can't be fucked installing steam i just wanna play aoe2 NOW

Moxie Mence Are these supposed to be funny?
Kevin Brown Nope, not sure why you would think that. I was only talking about game mechanics.

@@malachi5707 it still depends, infantry would be shatered probably, but KTs wolud have a good time fighting in that scenario
2008 called they want their music back * looks at upload date *...oh
This joke aged perfectly
"Trebuchet is a good thing"
trebuchet is a good thing just for destroy castle and defense
lol
Don't you guys get it? Its bad English! Its "Trebuchets are a good thing."
Trebuchet - ONE TREBUCHET
understandable
Thanks! I always wanted to be sure not to actually make 100 peasants just to send them to attack an elite elephant. Best 5000 food I've ever saved in my entire life!
Ah, the music give me back memories about how CZcams used to be before.
Bob will bring it back
Wiiiilson, you came back! :o WILLSOOON!
Hunterdanne I miss you too :'(
Friend Wilson Bu-but how did ya survive the sea?
Hunterdanne The whale helped me..he brought me to land
Damn, haven't heard this track in a long ass time.
+John Smith when I heard this I was like "Oh here we go again, afeter two years".. Now want to hear "Dreamscape"
+John Smith My first tutorial made in 2011 had this music, it was HOW TO DOWNLOAD GTA SAN ANDREAS JAJAJAJA REALLY.
I haven't heard it for almost a decade.
2:42 Man, the medieval creature comforts sure spoiled the country folk. They used to hunt elephants for a living once. ;P
this fucking song IS BACK TO HAUNT ME
+Gakell Kag Welcome to 2010 again :D.
+Denis Skobelev you mean 07
Damn this is just pure nostalgia for popping up in my reccomended
I'm here too 11
1 thing is for sure, everybody has an emotion with this song, it takes us back to another time and place in our lives.
the vdml can explore fast
If you are going to cheat, the marco-polo can do that job easy.
but, it´s not the point of the video, he is saying that the vdml it´s pointless, but it can explore fast.
to not making it so easy, altought you can marco, polo and then disable polo. my comment was about the video saying the usselessness of the vdml, only that. In a realistic way, yeah, it is pointless. sorry for bad english
VMDL useless? Plz. He moves extremely fast. He is a great scout.
Best scout.
It's a cheat
Johnny Weinstein
We know.
We debated about the best cheat unit.
That's funny because "how do you turn this on" is also a cheat :DDD
Two Words : Marco Polo
you can actually use the VMDL to explore the map it walks real quick
using marco and polo cheats is better
+Paxton y Liliana My name is Marco...
+Marco Könnecke are you a polo cheat too ?
+Akshay Dixit Yes :D
Hahah
Villagers would have won if they were Spanish.
and if they had the upgrade (i don't know his name in english)
loom i think
PLABSCORE1 No, supremacy.
both
Yahailaheeeeia!!!
the trebuchet fight red won becuse 3
1.red has more trebuchet
2.red has a civ that has trebuchet more powerfull
3.blue ordered some of the trebuchet to not attack
Very well observed. The trebuchet war part was a bit useless... At least was fun lol
With villagers vs war elephant you select the villagers in the centre, that way people with room can move in and attack. Instead you're just leaving them there by selecting the sides of the crowd.
2:38 it was at this moment jackson knew he fucked up
How do you turn this on?
What do you mean "turn it on"???
EmpiricalPragmatist you don't play age of empires II, do you?
Shadowkillerx777 Actually, I used to play it a lot, when it was new. Didn't use the cheats much, though...
I miss 2006-2008 youtube sometimes and then I remember this song and Bodies.
oh man the nostalgia
That's what I was thinking! I remember playing this game when I was ALOT younger, and I was so good at it. I don't know what's happened since then...
I love Age of Empire so much especially Age of Empire 2 Age of Kings and and with extended pack (the Conquerors). The campaigns are amazing. I love building cities for scenario. They have amazing architecture.
I don't understand why everyone hates the music on this video. I personally don't have a problem with it. It brings back old CZcams memories. :P
me too.:v
yea, the skip this shit since it was already bad in 2008 memories
Maybe the dislikes are from 7 years ago...
Still
Because peoples like those retarded pop or rap musics these days which are all same due to the standard set by music industries.
The song is 009 Sound System - With A Spirit
The vdml is for exploration.
Surrounded or in the centre?... you do know scorpions do damage in a line, making them always more powerful to bunched up units? Outcomes can be different for different units.
great now I know how many villagers I must have in my army to kill an elephant: 200!
or you could just use technologies that upgrade both their attack and health.
***** or I could just create soldiers and use villagers to gather food and wood and stuff like that.
esmifrado
no, that would never work, you'll lose in 1 minute
I've actually fended off an invasion by spamming Chinese villagers in Rise of Nations.
With 200 villagers, you can out-build your enemy castles.
I wonder if younger users of the internet will ever remember this song the way we do.
what about 100 spanish villagers ? :D
1_11
Or Incan?
@Endrit Shabani All of them were dead!! XD
I heard this song like 2 years ago...
GOOD FOR YOU
the video is 6 years old (in 2014)
so is your face
I want my 5 minutes back :((
Man m watching in 2020 it's 12 yrs old I was 8 years when this was uploaded
isnt VMDL's purpose to explore the map faster?
TheShorty0ne i think it deals damage when it explodes on death too
TheShorty0ne If you use the insta-build cheat, the VDML is a lot more mightier than a normal villager because of its speed.
TheShorty0ne Hey it is VDML or VMDL? tried to type the cheat code in both ways but neither went right
that wasnt the code...sorry but i cant remember, better google it, there are ton of pages with the correct one
TheShorty0ne The code is: "I LOVE THE MONKEY HEAD" in chat mode. Created after one of the AOE creator Dave Lewis who prob like the former band Monkey Head or whatever reasons ;)
VDML is actually usefull. If you don't use marco and polo to open fog, you can take out a VDML and make him go from east to west to north to south and open the map. Because he is running reall fast :D
WALK SLOWLY WITH A SPIRIT BY YOUR SIDE. THE CZcams NATIONAL ANTHEM IS STRONG WITH THIS ONE!
the song in this video brings back sooooo many memories... wow!
The VDML is not useless at all!
It is easily the most effective scouting unit in the game, and can also be used as a suicide bomber.
People are laughing at the video being 6 years old by the time they wrote it.
Their comments are 6 years old as well...
Damn
One of those comments here. I come here every now and then
this is 15 years old????
This is such an old but gold video, age of Kings forever!
I feel so nostalgic!
Damn haven't heard this song in ages.. somehow not as annoying as I remember it...
Probably because there's more crappy songs now
The Trebuchet fight reminds me of why I never wanted to play this game. You have one battle with only a handful of units on both sides, and they can't fit it on the screen at the same time? How annoying to have to constantly scroll back and forth to see what is going on.
just change the resolution!
Get the HD remaster on Steam, there's also an unlimited population patch on Steam workshop :)
Its just Command and Conquer or Starcraft in the Middle Ages ...
THIS IS A AWESOME VIDEO, COOL IDEAS BRO!!!
WOW! that guy in the end was so wild and crazy just going straight out on the road in the middle of a grand prix like that!
change the name of the video to ''what you always didnt give a shit about''
awser:you comment and you're face :3
abram20201 That's 'your'... in both cases.
OzixiThrill but oke i was't that nice but. you don't have to leave comment like he did right?!
missing something
Unregistered Hypercam 2

This video is great mate. An old one but a good one
Typical CZcams video before 2010 woth this song ;D
why do people hate this music so much? :/
CNDMRYK Because any song that gets played till death gets annoying
+CNDMRYK Because it's shite.
LMAO 009 Sound System
At 2:57 the trebuchets were like "Dude, what do we do now?" Haha, love this vid
Nostalgia hit
2021?
hi
nobody tought about spanish villagers? 20 of them wouod have killed it...
Excellent Man, I really enjoyed it
Ahh the good old days of Age of Empires 2. Back when men were men and RTS games had soul.
This vid is hilarious! Does not deserve that many dislikes.
CALL IN THE FUCKING ELITE MUTE BUTTON WARRIOR TO DESTROY THIS FUCKING ANNOYING AI MUSIC CASTLE!
first 5 seconds of the music is like a slap from the past
best aoe2 video I've seen, and awesome music
Everyone hated this song back in the day XD
terrible music
Haha man that was funny. I enjoyed it.. perfect short break from studying
i've begun to love this song *bobs head to the side to the rhythm*
that trebuchet fight should be a thing. I was getting excited for my blue boys at the end. clearly at a disadv with those 2 trebs together and the reds were three and split apart. whew. i d watch this on twitch.
one of the best videos on youtube
I miss this game so much... it was so amazing for its time.
Played video. Paused it. Muted sound. Resumed video. Listened to the best silence ever.
yo dude with what program did you record the gameplay
Just coming back for my dose of CZcams nostalgia.
He isn't a troll. He gave actual facts on why that song can't be the CZcams's national anthem.
When you ask what's better, surrounding or being in the center, you're using units that do damage as long as their "arrow" is still flying. So when you are in the center, you're basically screwed with those. In any other situation, it's better to be in the center. Try it, you'll see
A trebuchet fight is like a volley shooting at each others
i never thought this video would be so nostalgic
have u tried DE?
How did you get the cobras to move on their own in the "For dessert," part?
great vid. thanks.
I used a VDML a few times during a campaign, the enemy kept converting them so all I had to do was kill off their army and they had nothing
Why so many thumbs down? This is epic :D
There was a song?
surround or stay in the middle *shows scorpions* test it with any other unit?
Yes, I always wanted to know a trebuchet fight.
how about a monk fight?
Sabaku Gaara
That's a waste of 30 minutes...
+Sabaku Gaara WOLOLOLOO
The villager v. elephant debacle brings back AOE I memories.
give me my years back! Back to the age of empires...sweet times.
Nice information!And one question,how is this song called?
how did u make the car track? how u made them keep going?
Nostalgia :c
Thank- you, now I know who would win in a fair trebuchet fight. And let's just give a thank-you again to those 100 villagers and that war elephant, great job guys!
nice one dude!
Maybe the elephant vs villagers fight would have had a different outcome if the villagers were coming at him one at a time (since he deals AOE damage, so here he was able to damage more than one of them with each attack).
the 2nd part, where you're checking whether it's better to surround or be surrounded isn't thought out very well. Scorpions have splash damage, so it's obvious it's better to spread your units apart.
You should try that with a non-splash damaging unit, like spearmen or something
Holy shit this is such nostalgia
The villagers were like: "BEAT THE CRAP OUT THAT ELEPHANT!"
Cool :P
That music :')
I thank you from the bottom of my heart
"Trebuchet is a good thing" lol
I loved those cars so much.
The whole "surround or center" thing only applied to those scorpions because they have piercing projectiles that to damage to anything it touches, letting every single one of the scorpions on the outside do maximum damage. The story is different with melee units.
