Age of Empires II Wonders

[TheGaliuso]

A clasic this game.

[MegaRobin6666]

Praha(Prague) is beeeest

[icabaripto]

@Harri2006 Actually it's not the Cathedral of Praha but the Cathedral of Chartres =)

[MegaRobin6666]

@icabaripto cathedral of prague !!!!!!!

[Harri2006]

It really looks like a Prague cathedral... but why, when the nation is Franks? :-|

[berkosez]

Just a note, the wonder for the Turk is not the Suleymaniye Mosque in Istanbul but rather the Selimiye Mosque in Edirne, Turkey which was the masterpiece of the great Ottoman Architect Sinan.

Only the Selimiye Mosque has minarets around the structure of the Mosque. The Suleymaniye Mosque's design is quite different.

[IndianPrince04]

To the people complaining that a wonder belongs in another country, remember that ancient civilizations could have stretched to a far greater land area than what it holds today, so some wonders belong to another country today (physically at least), due to the simple fact that civilizations flourish and die. A thousand years from now, power could fluctuate even more rapidly. For some reason, I fear to know what the map will look like then.

[akas1255]

I like how the turkish wonder is just the byzantine wonder with some minaretzes on it!

[Lightblinder]

thanks for this dude, I always wanted to know what those buildings were based upon

[Alagremm]

Why wasnt Russia included in AoE2?

[koki4o]

@Alagremm Because Microsoft does stupid things sometimes. Can you believe they had Macedonia in AoE 1? lol

[Alagremm]

@koki4o Macedonia did conquer lands the size of Europe =/

[koki4o]

@Alagremm No, it didn't.

[Sarkanybaby]

@koki4o Ever heard of Alexander the Great? Look it up.

[Alagremm]

@koki4o Yea, Alexander the Great conquered lands from Greece to India. It was the biggest empire of the ancient times. Didnt last long though.

[Alchemisterius]

@Alagremm I wonder the same thing. There should also be Polish, Hungarians, Indians, Khmer, Vietnamese, and Incans...

Maybe because of the limitations?

[Alagremm]

@Alchemisterius Still, I mean they found space for bloody Aztecs and they didnt find space for Russia or Poland? I don't know, maybe the developers were racist and hated Slavic nations?

[Alchemisterius]

@Alagremm I doubt it, because Russians were in AoE3.

[Alagremm]

@Alchemisterius Quite some time went between the games... but true.

[Massavica]

Wow

[ArabicToasteR]

vikings wonder looks more like a house

[TheRealSpicke]

how do ilove architecture <3

[Sword1479]

The only one that I don't agree with is Koreas, for the pagoda you mentioned is in Japan. The Korean wonder looks like Hwangnyongsa.

[CMRfilm]

1:57 Great "WONDER".....(fail)

[mrxai658]

yeah it take wonder years to make this. I remember the rice terraces... humm YEARS

[sultantuner]

SOMEBODY WANTS TO PLAY? PLEASE LEAVE AN ANSWER IN MY CHANNEL :D

[Elzelgator]

at 0:47 you can see hagia sophin

but at the picture of hagia sophin, thre are four towers more than the wonder..

isnt that strange?

that because of ottoman empire they make that building as a mosque

also that building is at Istanbul(constantinapole) with the sulemaniye mosque

[GetUrVaginasOut]

The French is Notre-Dame

[3123Alpha]

@GetUrVaginasOut Go Irish!!

[Plzpetmyrooster]

wow i never noticed how good they did on these hah

[Oyrad58]

both Turkish and Byzantine wonders belong to Turks now :)

[Oyrad58]

i ve heard that persian wonder destroyed by earthquake in 6.century

[Solja2010]

wow all these wonders are in AOE 2?? i havent seen half of these when i was building custom ones :S

[CaerysPL]

Impressive! I didnt knew that!

[DimecheWorld]

wow i didnt know

[Lenangreal]

@Bonde2002 nobody. after the islamic arab conquest is was used as mosque but gradually abandoned. it is made of bricks, not stone and the harsh wind eroded it. finally a flood destroyed 1 third of the palace in 1900

[Lenangreal]

so basically all those wonders are FOR REAL? you always learn something from youtube

[gustano123]

Heyyy That's the Cathedral of Notredame in Paris France n.n, not Prague ¬¬

[sprezzaturaguy]

@gustano123 Read a little more about gothic architecture and you'll see that most cathedrals built at that time look alike because most of them have the same architectural elements....Yeah it looks like Notre-Dame de Paris, but it is not.

[gustano123]

@sprezzaturaguy Oh sorry my bad, ...... but the point is why is the prague cathedral if they are franks???

o.O!!

[sprezzaturaguy]

@gustano123 well, even if the in-game structure looks very similar to Prague's Cathedral, there's indeed no association between this building and the franks, except of course that these people perfected Gothic architecture (and I might be wrong here; after all, countries and kingdoms had changed a lot, and what it is today's Prague may had been under french rule at some point in history, but they certainly didn't construct this Cathedral) . In my opinion, the french wonder is Chartres Cathedral

[sprezzaturaguy]

@gustano123 this again is pure speculation, because, like I said, a lot of Gothic cathedrals look alike, but at least this one is in France.; )

[Aznflipstuh9469]

@gustano123 no its not notredame. google it.

[gustano123]

@Aznflipstuh9469 eso que we¬¬

[a8a92]

@gustano123 you're wrong search for some photos online and you'll find out that Prague's Cathedral is closer to that wonder

[xXSeekedomXx]

Chinese Wonder: Blob... XD

[warriorofzues]

prague isnt in france



[ThePippinderGrenze]

What happened in the persian palace omg!!!

[Gfunker5OO]

nice



[roxterat]

Where Slovak Bridge Restaurant Wonder? xD lmao kiding...

[CJAnonymous]

So, the Britons' wonder is really in Germany and the Koreans' is in Japan.

Weird.

[MightOfCologne]

Vikings were heathens, so why is there a christian cross on top of their church?

[FierceGriffon]

@MightOfCologne because a church itself is christian. And your talking about the earlier Vikings from the 9th-10th century, those were heathen. Later on they were converted to christainity and made a viking church.

[MightOfCologne]

@FierceGriffon ah okay.

thanks a lot mate (:

[halconf20]

Muy buenas las comparaciones . . .



[Komnenit]

I think the mayan wonder is Tikal

[Synbios89]

@Komnenit You are right! It's situated in Guatemala rather close to the border to Belize. I've actually been there and it's called "The Great Jaguar Temple"

[tOOzinhO]

great video, man

[IVIonster22]

so many ideas for minecraft..... >:}

[dddddddddddd71]

@IVIonster22 lols i had the same idea

[camille0594]

Mayas' wonder is the Great Temple of Tikal.

[PlottingMax]

34 persons haven't built a wonder...

[Norocmorth]

the mongols lost... their wonder got destroyed

[RocketHarry865]

@Norocmorth : It was a tent

[Mr300Spartan]

this is a good video :) Great and accurate information.

[MrPlubber1]

The prague cathredral is Saint Vitus

[kurdenist]

where is the genghis khan tent?

[helpermethod]

Well, at least they didn't put minarets around Hagia Sophia like they did in Civilization 4.

[StoreslemLilleslem]

genghis khan's tent perished through the ages :(

[skyhawk431]

Thumbs up if you've been to one of these places :D

[TheDemonx2000]

veri good

[crikvenicabiel]

the Frank's wonder is the cathedral of Chartres

[GnomePuntingftw]

@crikvenicabiel No, no, no! That cathedral had it's two side peaks thingies different hights, As you can see by the wonder, the two side things are the same hight.

[giygasisgiegue]

i haven't seen some of these wonders. and i've built all of them. and that's not the turks wonder?

[giygasisgiegue]

i haven't seen some of these wonders. and i've built all of them.

[shalis16]

Temple of the Mask is the most beautiful one.

Mayans are still the best!

[FowVayJetta]

You mispelled the Byzantine wonder's name. It's Hagia SoFia, not SoPHia. Just letting you know. :)

And Prague is in the Czech Republic. Not very close to France.

[88erSILAS]

Hm to tell us the Places where these wonders are would be nice.

[TheGojoseon]

The Korean wonder is Hwangnyongsa Temple, not the Japanese Senso-ji temple. Confirmed on the Internetz.

On a related note, why is the British wonder a cathedral in Aachen, Germany? Lol. That is Ensemble's mistake, that one.

[akmal001]

Arch of Augustus - Huns

[3123Alpha]

so the Briton's Wonder isn't Hogwarts?

[UnrealPerson]

@3123Alpha That would rather be a Celtic one. And theirs is actually pretty close to that. :P

[MrMaxGuy8796]

@3123Alpha lol it seems not

[Darkiver]

@Bonde2002

Arab invasion and time itself mostly.

[iakaratas]

Turks' wonder is Selimiye Mosque, not Süleymaniye.

[captaincook71]

Why giving der Aachener Dom to the British when the have wonderful cathedral as Lincoln, York or Canterbury? I found that the Frank cathedral was an imitation of Chartres, even if it's not wonderful....

[MrPaulo1471]

33 peoples like ugly stufs

[vikingskippen]

prague cathedral sure XDDDD

[AssasainAltair]

3:35 im gonna have nightmares beucase of the voice

[AssasainAltair]

3:32 i'm gonna have nightmares beaucase of the voices

[antinerd55]

my fav's are the scottisch wonder and viking wonder :D

[MrFvdb]

goths have a silly wonder lol

[xxpbdudexx]

@MrFvdb Goths just suck, period.

[MrFvdb]

@xxpbdudexx Nah, they are probably the best offensive civilisation in the game together with the mongols. Those barracks can make units so quickly and they're cheap too. And goths got hand cannonneers and bombard cannons etc, their defence is just the worst in the game :p

[Metamorphisize]

why did you put senso-ji temple as koreans... it's japanese....

[fatman989]

koreans wounder is BANGIN!

[JCSieteSoles]

CATEDRAL DE PRAGA

[flamboyantST]

i think the Greeks didnt see this because mosque belongs to the Turks not byzantines

[godnone1206]

@Mo1903 It was actually built by byzantine as a cathedral.

[LetsPlayCrimzonAE]

"The wonder, the wonder, the... Noohoooo..."

[Aragorn106654]

@LetsPlayCrimzonAE Sadly, Esemble is gone :( AOE Online looks nice though :)

[dragonmcmx]

0:18 is that thing in the right up corner of the wonder a televison?

[Wonka0111]

@dragonmcmx That would be a shrine to Huitzilopochtli. ;)

[jopuch]

Viva Spain!!!!!

[DeftCrowMk3]

Civ 5 made a mistake when modeling the Hagia Sofia wonder video; putting minarets as part of the initial construction when in fact they were added after Islamic conquest. Good to see AoE 2 actually following the course of history.

[senger11]

nice job man

[Generalfieldmarshall]

Teutons and goths are the best.

[hxasmirl]

imo the huns, the koreans and the goths got the best signature melodies 

[ZamuelZA]

Oh man! We got to destroy those wonders or we will lose!

[Llama0World]

turks ftw...

[blommiiz]

Vikings ftw

[jianfongyaw]

Did you travel the whole world to get photos like this? anyways, no matter the means, your video is so awesome (and thanks for explaining who built these wonders and where and what are they now)! :-D

[TuTeVs]

wow very nice !

[Raymanpelaaja]

i dont find that wonders for map editor

[guichamyto]

@Raymanpelaaja soo you are a BULLSHIT!

[Raymanpelaaja]

i dont find wonders for map editor

[MrSexmachine759]

OH YEAH I LOVED YOUR VIDEO. JUST AS I WANTED IT. YOU PUT THE TUNE OF EVERY CIVILIZATION, THE WONDER AS APPEAR IN THE GAME, AND IN THE WONDER AS THE REAL LIFE. I CONGRATULATE YOU!!!!!!!! ; )

[Shipocute]

Korean Wonder should be Kyongbok palace! The main palace in Korea.

[MrCheaththebest]

TEUTONS FTW

[GothicKnight2]

Kinda funny that the English wonder in the game was historically built by Charlemagne in Germany.

[hfwang18]

@GothicKnight2 Hence why it should be the Frankish wonder...the Franks used the Prague cathedral...very historically accurate. Not to mention that the Korean wonder was actually built by the Japanese.

[pawel1818]

:D i WONDER how Chingis Chan tent i real life looks like

[pawel1818]

:D i WONDER how Chingis Chan tent i real life looks like

[greenedison]

lol in the game, you see the buildings and you're like, okay cool. But now, looking at the actual building, you kind of feel sorry for the villagers who built that, because those are some pretty complex/ big buildings!

[Asken96]

this is't age of kings?

[MrMarkus1590]

Franks' wonder is Notre Dame! ;)

[MrPaulo1471]

@MrMarkus1590 Why the Franks speak french?

[Darkiver]

@MrPaulo1471

Because the Franks are the French.

[MrPaulo1471]

@Darkiver Aff, put frenchs, is more beautiful

[Vahki100]

@MrMarkus1590 It isn't Notre Dame is lacking the towers

[HardikG121]

@MrMarkus1590 No it isn't, though it should be

[MightOfCologne]

@MrMarkus1590 this isnt notre dame

[CJAnonymous]

@MrMarkus1590: I think it's the Strasbourg one, though. Not the Paris one.

[lovemaker1972]

@MrMarkus1590 no THE AACHEN CATHEDRAL

[FrozenWolf150]

I was disappointed that, unlike in newer RTS games, the wonders didn't give you special bonuses. For example, the Aztecs could get Montezuma's Revenge, which gives all enemy units a 20% movement rate penalty until the wonder is destroyed.

[dillon10597]

Thumbs up is u agree that the teutons are the best civ in aoe2

1. Paladins

2. farm 40 wood

3. Very good sepcialized unit (teutonic knight)

[MajkeTiTvoje]

@dillon10597 no. huns. no houses needed + tarkans can destroy buildings faster than any other unit other than siege machines

[dillon10597]

@MajkeTiTvoje aye! i agree with you but they can really only meant to destroy buildings. i once sent like 60 tarkens in battle and all died. (they were versing cavaliers). but i very well agree ith u on no houses. that is amazing

[LKC9215]

@dillon10597 No way. Franks are the best civ.

1) Pals with 192 HP as opposed to 160. The weakness against camels and pikes/halbs are reduced.

2) Farm upgrades free, + Crop rotation.

3) Castles are 488 stone.

Imagine if you had a 2v2 with a Briton and a Frank on the same team. Longbowmen + Paladins = win.

[umairool50]

@dillon10597 no spanish were

[FurryBrandonXD]

In game, im usalyy the Teutons, Saracens, Turks, and Chinese XD

[Mazryonh]

And to think, if an opponent builds one of these, the only way to not lose is to smash apart a national treasure, or what is known as a "UNESCO World Heritage" site.

[Th3R3dRock3t]

The temple of heaven is pretty sick

[Stijnohood]

Strange wonder, the one of the Vikings.

[daniel8a35]

Thanks for the effort!

[Domiii227]

5:26 it's the original ;)

[Frizzi95]

I always play as Koreans, Teutons and Vikings. Don't know why...

[theparsonishere]

No gangas Kahn tent i was hoping to see that in really life =(

[Deathm3t4l95]

@theparsonishere true :/

[Guillidan]

@Deathm3t4l95 Well the name really speaks for itself, its a "tent", not a building. Khan used it to rest before conquest,. That thing was so big that they didn't even bother packing it, just strap the oxen, and on with the bloodshed.If it were really a building then people would fly to see it.Today, there are only replicas.

[Racoon42a]

5:20

Borgund church looks funny compared with other wonders. Somebody should make a mod which adds russians, for great justice!

[Guillidan]

@Racoon42a Russians were really inspired by Varyags (Viking Tribe), after the fall of Eastern Rome, which is why the Old Russian buildings and village buildings looked familiar to Viking structures. Only after Rurik, did achievements start to come about.

[Alexis7094]

The Best always be Tikal from Guatemala!!!

[dragondisaster]

I thought this was an awesome feature, when you start the game, some civilization music plays.

[UndertakersDiscipleU]

Hagia Sophia <3

[RoyalPrussian]

i think the hagia sophia is the hagia eirene cuz the hagia sophia isnt looking like that at all

[Sashomei]

where is mongol's

[cocoperroquet]

it's very interesant to see where theye have find the Wonder

[MauriDaytona]

you forgot britons

[boomaslang]

Ha! i've been to the aachen cathedral (i didn't realize how big the japanese one is!)

[boomaslang]

Ha! i've been to the aachen cathedral (i didn't realise how big the japanese one is!) 

[kozma05]

Sad that persian wonder was destroyed by Genghis Khan :D but wonderfull how they resist over hundred years....Nice Video :-bd

[GameSpyTV]

i like the mayan wonder best

[RouserTheRebel]

The viking church is actually a model of many of the old churces back in the days. However, it's ironic that the vikings struggled to accept christianity, and often died for their own, norse, religion. Too bad many of these wonderful churches were burnt down by satanics, like Varg Vikernes, during the 90s..

[VladCodY]

@TheZortaw ok, but it's the same building?

[reconTF141]

lmao vikings has fart sound xD

[SaviorofKeys]

@reconTF141 You need to get that checked out

[VladCodY]

Isn't The Suleymanye Mosque the Hagia Sofia?

[VladCodY]

yes , you are.

I've visited Notre Dame in 2007 , and it's not like that

[ABookwormAndProud]

@Bonde2002 I'd blame the nasty enviroment. 

[UFOwnz]

koreans,vikings,spanish and saracens are my fav
