Age of Empires 1 "Normandy 1944 BC" (Old)

[TheSultan79]

i thought this game was great sure was fun for the time

[AdmiralFudge]

@Gwarth155 you were beaten as a child werent you?

[Gwarth155]

i bet 208 people disliked this because of bad graphhics

[gtaisawesome87]

shouldn't it be 1944 AD not BC lol

[Mraksexastos]

coolllll

[victinhoemn]

wow good job creating the map i'd never have the patience to create such a complex map =)

[zvw18]

dude 1944 not frecken bc

[ampthilluk]

@zvw18 why isnt it?

[UrbanFury12]

damn you got a lot of time on your hands haha

[nigen]

okay... where's the battle? what up with these war video just showing the maps and not the actual battles? if this is just a stupid. "ha ha I can put 1000 units on the map" then that is a hideous waste of time.

oh yes and rome Total war can handle up to 2,000 units in a battle. I've tried it. only time it gets choppy is when you exceed 2,400, but that may just be my computer.

[xXxInFaMYxXx]

btw dip shit in AOE 2 you can add triggers

[CounterAttack1989]

wheres the battle you dumbass retarded...or is it that your PC cant handle it n00b!?! there was no live action video just a stupid map of a lame creation...check out my vid for at least some sort of movement...

[JCDentonCZ]

@CounterAttack1989 If you'd bother to read, you'd see the additional text and reason as to how I couldn't record this without giving a slideshow of it. The amount of units were immense -- though with newer games you could add triggers and spawning at specific locations to make it work better. It's still very hard to do right though.

[DarkHour404]

@CounterAttack1989 why do you have to be such a asshole? this guy was making a simple video and you come on calling him a retared and n00b? I hate immature little teenagers who use the word "noob" to insult people.

[CounterAttack1989]

@DarkHour404 No one cares about you dude, stfu and go fuck yourself.. XD

[LuigianoMariano]

A Normandy Scenario would work better in Age of Empires 2 since it has gunpowder units and Cannon Towers.

[death8dealer]

i think all of them are A FEW hundred years earlry for D-day

[fox100cool]

It a bit a wast of time cause after the vid u just delet et not made them fight -

[xXXEddyDerFrommeXXx]

haha you little freak! This is very good xD age of empires for life!!

[TheAdi5070]

it's edit map

[chao4356]

AOE, I love you! Fuck MW2 with its great graphics, gimme a GOOD game with GREAT gameplay and shitty graphics!

[KSAU88]

let them fight

[AnthonyAT33]

Ah, Age of Empires, the very first PC game I got back in 1999.

I loved it so much... and I still do.

[LondonHeartLover]

wow. this certainly took several days to design.

looks great.

would love to test it,

but id loose anyway.

i sucked at the game

[lotsofcooki3s]

I <3 this game!

[goliathIV]

nice video =)

i made another with aoe III

[fsdkafjjhafuisdfos]

vale mierda

[tinyloo1]

rome totalwar is better

[incurablevirus]

ahhh i love this series. a little upset they stopped with AoE3 and its expansions, oh well

[iIIPLATINUMIIi]

total was is boring age of empires is way better total war you hav to battle every minute with same old boring units but age of empires u can hav big maps and army massive battle which last longer than total war

[TheJakubCZ]

LoOoOoL good!

[MRunkown333]

Was in love with this game

[Megashehri]

wow this game is an epic fail

[JCDentonCZ]

Nothing wrong with the game, actually. Back in 1997 it was pretty much the best RTS game around.

I suppose the old, low quality of this movie (Three years old and counting!) is to blame for the bad representation.

Age of Empires is in fact a great game, and I was amazed by the amount of troops and game assets you could actually place in it; With around ten-thousand plus units in that map, the game still didnt crash. ;)

[Megashehri]

if you really like Stratgey games than go play the Total war series write down Empire total war Gameplay it has Fantastic Graphics it's Realistic and it's fun nah man i know age of empires i played the demo i saw the new one trailer it's just horrible

[JCDentonCZ]

I know the games; Favorite is Medieval 2 Total War, but Empire isn't as good as hoped.

And besides, are you seriously comparing a game made 13 years ago with a modern series?

And Age of Empires 3, well, never tried it, possibly a different story.

In any way, I have to disagree with calling AoE horrible; that's doing pretty much the entire RTS series a dis service, much like bad-mouthing C&C 1 and Dune for being bad games while it laid the groundworks for the future.

[halorechfan]

@JCDentonCZ no empire sucks to napolen total war and medevel sucks dick to man ! get rome and napolean and age of empiere 3 ! and dawn of war dark rising there the new rts games a round

[xXuknowhoitisXx]

@JCDentonCZ

SC FTW

[Matta2704]

@JCDentonCZ play Company of Heroes, its WWII strategy, best ever!

[chao4356]

AOE is the basic of all strategy games

youre a gay

[chao4356]

you are a epic fail stupid fag

[RTSgameVideos]

Hahahaa.

[GeneralSturnn]

This looks more like Troy, lol

[failfan1]

Yes but its Nomady 1944 BC!

[Juinor]

Hey Check Out my Empire Earth Story Line: The legend of Shadow Clan. u wouldn't regret watching it.

[yoshifilm]

what game of age of empires is this?

[AirborneRangerZz]

-_-... Age of Empires 1... everyone knows this game

[robertoproz]

@yoshifilm

judging by the graphics id say the 1st one

I think AoE II has tolerable graphics.

[goblex2]

ur age is a little early dont u think lolz! XD nice map tho

[JCDentonCZ]

Yeah, I used this as a experiment, and it shows that the AoE 1 engine is very powerful and very mobile to use even for such huge levels and unit amounts. As said, it actually does play, just starts off very slow, which gives you the opportunity to watch the events first before you move in yourself.

[MrMobsterking]

1.Who were you backing?

2.Who Won?

That must have been awesome ;D

[JCDentonCZ]

It was a 4 vs 4 map, and the player is the one that should try to land troops together with 2, 3 and 4. I noticed the AI responds better to be on defense with such a map -- and I managed with a few tricks to get the allies to send ships, though not fast enough, and not enough troops at once to achieve what I wanted; so 2 3 and 4 are mostly supportive and need more time to launch a effective attack.

First minutes are obviously very very tough for the super-old engine to handle, but it works. =)

[F1zzzy90]

nice map dude

[jakniphone]

that it going to be some battle XD

[looneychicken]

Might I suggest trying one of the Sudden Strike games if you want a game that you can easily put 1,000+ troops without it slowing down, gives you WWII units, lots of abilities for creating maps and making units go where you want them to, and is very easy to use.

Nice map, used to play AoE, lost the disk though XD

[firetank41]

If you want huge amounts of units than Cossacks series or total series or right for you. Though they don't offer WWII units.

[101BADASS]

how did u get so many people

[BITO80808]

How many times did he heard the famous "shhhh hOOH" ^^?

[JCDentonCZ]

Doubt I put many priests in the map, if at all, actually. ;) Hate their guts when you can't kick their asses! xD

[BITO80808]

"Wololooooo Hyo yoyo :D"

[finnmasters]

map is so full,is this second aoe?

[J0hannski]

Dude, you must have a fucking mental retardation if you think this game is shitty. It's one of the biggest pioneers of the RTS genre. How about playing the game before judging it? And how about not judging a game by it's graphics? Dumbfuck.

[needmorebrain]

mass more siege, click attack-move, win

[J0hannski]

Yeah, if you play on easiest, like you do.

[Team4omena]

thats really messy man

[Untiboom]

I enjoyed the video and the fight but what terrain did u use? (i have aoe too)

[JCDentonCZ]

Mostly Desert for the beaches and 'trenches', lots of shallow and water/deep water, and some very minor dots of desert to place the tank traps (the walls).

It works well; having only limited options, there are still many things you can do with good old AoE. ^^

[RockonPivot]

every1 who has age of empire editor can do it its a normal thing -.-

[JCDentonCZ]

That's true, and that's one of the interesting things; that such an old engine actually can provide for such amazing amounts of troops. That was the main experiment; and the AI worked pretty good with it, too.

[CurlyTopsRicoa]

D-Day 1544 LOL

[VCK9009]

1544 BC, that is!

[Alenthas]

i might lose 3 min of my life but you lost 1+ hour :p

[JCDentonCZ]

Haha, i suppose, but thanks for investing your time to watch! It's quite an old video, maybe some day i'll make another D-Day vid for Age of Empires 2 or a game that really allows me to have thousands of units at once (Cossacks comes to mind).

And besides, time isn't wasted when you enjoy yourself. ;)

[Aanacondas]

interesting... good strategy

[alexela99]

It was alright but you should try mayby now using beta version of movie maker cuz it gives a better screen shot plus use age o empires 3,LOL! cya

hope this helps...

[Pille919]

Buy a life and get a wife...

[JCDentonCZ]

Thanks for the advice; i'm in the process of doing so! How are you progressing?

Either way, your comment doesnt help anything, which is a shame. It's a old little movie that's seen quite a few views, even though it wasn't very high quality of course. But everyone has to start somewhere.

[perdinskee]

**** you Pille! this was sick! awsome JC!

[DderajJ]

Add "&fmt=18" at the end of the link and it will lokk like 45x better.

[niklasvp]

sucks

[Allmightybanger]

ha ha hah ha ha ha hah ahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhah­a

[Fel1230]

i love it!

5/5*

[JCDentonCZ]

You're right; it's an old video. Maybe one day i'll try this again and show ingame or the like. We'll see!

[k3nny8]

lol cool mapka...

[jerema413]

omg someone help me!

i want to play online on age of empires 2 conqeurers but idk how to.

someone said that i have to have someones ip adress to play

[Selino25]

Zone used to have game rooms with thousands of ppl but Zone shut down, if u want to play online u need a friend to have ur Ip adress when u make a game.

[kingdomofheaven300]

wow...must have taken u along time to set up those guys....still i like rise of nations better... u can do the same thing just with MODERN peps. Still i love that game and the other 2.

[JCDentonCZ]

Hey Kingdom,

It took me quite a lot of clicks to set up, but i've had the overall idea in my head for a long time, after a lot of experimenting. I'm still hoping for RTS games to truly become massive, more than the Total War series, with the gameplay of Age of Empires. It doesnt matter which time it's set, but I'd love to give it another try to make a good Normandy-type assault for it, as long as it works well.

Thanks for your comment, by the way! I appreciate it. =)

- JC

[JCDentonCZ]

I have it already, but thanks for your response ^^. I don't think it's a good idea to advertise 'pirated' games though =).

[FukinDie666]

i got number 2 for free of limewire do you want it

[JCDentonCZ]

Soldiers carrying swords, bows, using old Roman catapults and ballistas, among others. This game is about the period between, let's say, 4000 BC until 500 AD, including a lot of empires of ancient time. =)

[FukinDie666]

whta soldier are thet guns or swords

[cod9499]

low fos geci nem is jáccik vele xD

[banargelynxZ]

Aoe 1 is the Legend ,post more :D

[uriel94loscabos]

awesome

[ESX90]

still pretty funnu

[Bigmackorgen]

Hehe glad you just filmed from the editor. The lag we talking about would have been tramendous. I think the game would have crashed :P

[JCDentonCZ]

Still, the amount of friendly and enemy units isn't as overkill as I thought at first -- You'll need the help.

And yeah, It would have turned into a slideshow if it was ingame, heh.

You can win, though its like a step by step progress.

And at Pyrokubi, aren't those catapults and ballistas, not good enough for you? =P

- JC

[0990robocop]

does fraps trial effect the quality of your video?

[hindleyite]

This looks cool. Question is, is it possible to win? Looks well hard :D

[Pyrokubi]

lol mega army and whear is the artilery ???

[sularzproductions]

not to mention play.

[JCDentonCZ]

Heh, I have to agree on that one -- the ingame engine could barely take it the first minutes, but luckily it gets back to a decent framerate eventually.

But it was fun to do, and building it took me around 2 days at max, but a lot of clicking and a lot of free time. The idea itself's been in my mind for a longer time, and I've been experimenting with it far earlier too.

Though it's hard to do, having really limited options to make this good, but it's hopefully fun to play.

- JC

[yoeeb]

this woulda took forever to build

[hasselnot94]

Pretty good done must a been very broing though.I really hope they are going to Make "Age of Empires Modern Warfare" sound kinda of cool:)

[ryanstiles]

I hope in the future, they make an AoE for World War 2, because this looks more lie the Trojan War than it does WW2.

[jahck1221]

very creative.

[mastermurder0]

Actually my bad maybe works better with Rise of nations as they have modern day military units plus you have a better script editor

[mastermurder0]

Looks cool but would work better with AOE 3 now

[JCDentonCZ]

I agree, although I don't have part 3 right now. I've got AoE 2 though, noticed it seems to be easier to trigger battles with the editor.

But thanks for commenting.

[JCDentonCZ]

Hmm, it seems like the video quality gone wrong. I'll have to see if I can fix this.

- JC

[CHILESUDAFRICA2010]

how long did it take you to make this scenario

[JCDentonCZ]

Well, it took a good day putting it all up. Lots of finetuning to make things actually work and not get the attacking party to get destroyed on the beach already, but yeah, all done on a boring day when I didn't have anything else to do, kinda.

Thanks for your comment.

- JC

[CaptainVinh]

Yeah you should try to fix it. It kept lagging.

[JCDentonCZ]

I'm thinking of downtuning the numbers for the gameplay, either in AOE 1 or in AOE 2. The size of this map makes it (almost) impossible to keep moving on a straight front.
