[shilver45]

wow!! funny game watch?v=AEZEonZR02c

[fanfictionfun89]

Since no computer I have will let me play this game anymore it is real treat to watch these type of videos. Thank you 4 uploading!

[OUDreco]

Going to be hosting an AOEII LAN with some of the gfs friends who have never played an RTS... Will be using this as a preface video to our gaming...Thanks!

[Owlsandwich]

Wow, man thanks! I played this game few years ago and were good at it. Today i tried it again and i sucked, but because of you i may get good at it again =)

[LostYouthFederation1]

THESE ARE MALISSIAS AND THEY SUCK SHIT!!!! LMFAO

[Ilumiknight]

@dancedeerdance I'm not sure what video you think you are watching but this is a tutorial on the basics of Age of Empires 2. Did you expect some type of expert play in a tutorial for people's first time or did you just not bother reading the title of the video?

[TheDeadking100]

@dancedeerdance this guy is one of the best players ive seen lmao.....your the failure

[dancedeerdance]

@TheDeadking100 fuck off bitch.. i'm a pro at RTC games... im professional gammer nigga.. !

[ZzirDavS13]

Just downloaded this game thanks for the help dude, I never played a RTC game before

[SirHungryHippo]

lol...King Philip disliked this video

[neoashwinrg]

thanks a lot man!

appreciate all the work u have put up.

[ubertrooper6300]

@Illumiknight Ah okay, thanks. You are awesome at this game too by the way. In fact, much of my current strategy, I learned from your videos. I'll try to download Voobly so I have a chance of playing with/against you online (although I would probably suck because I pause too much and know hardly any of the hotkeys).

[ubertrooper6300]

Wait a minute, how come your singleplayer menu has less options than normal? Is this like a mod or something?

[Ilumiknight]

@ubertrooper6300 Oh well I was running it off of some fancy widescreen mod. I'm not sure if that changed anything on the menu though.

[ubertrooper6300]

Thank you, IllumiKnight, for uploading this on my birthday :)

[reaper17112]

Thank God, someone else who plays this game, imo, one of the BEST strat games ever, besides starcraft :) subbed.

[blues2009mark]

Thanks that helped a lot

im gonna sub

[GingerAvenger258]

Awesome. i thought i was good at the game but it takes me longer than the moderate enemy.. .I SUCK!! then i just practiced using this foundation. Thanks and i subed =)

[EathshakinG]

Anybody know how can i run AOE II on FullHD? 1920*1080?

[Aerolseventh]

how did you make the game more clearer?

I had my video settings on high but it still looked bad, not look yours

do I have to download another program or something?

[downfoot1]

lifesaver, since my 00's backup of the game won't load the tutorial in-game!

thanks!!

[ucablca]

Heya, I commented on your user page about helpful tips and what race, but I just saw this video and my mind is now blown. Thank you for the basic tutorial!

[KingPutman]

This was somewhat helpful but could i recommend a bit more of an advanced beginner vid, something that shows different strategies? thank you

[XchucksteakX]

lol at 09:08 it sounds like that villager says "bitch"

[dubhandler2992bogdan]

You should try playing on your native resolution. PM me for more information! :)

[Ilumiknight]

@dubhandler2992bogdan And have the units on the video microscopic? Like I've said many times, I record it in a smaller resolution than I actually play.

[akshayaradhya]

Nice video,but its more like you are explaining to a 10 year old child.Hahahah,LOL

[alex06gl]

do you play on gameranger?

[Deadpool534]

"these are our um very basic defense and they suck shit" LOL

[Jueves91]

How many villagers needs to get to the feudal age??

[Ilumiknight]

@Jueves91 It depends on what strategy you're using, but I suppose it would be somewhere between 24-27 villagers usually.

[akshayaradhya]

@Ilumiknight can you please tell me

Q1. While advancing to the feudal age how many miners and lumberjacks and hunters and farmers

should I have.?

Q2. Why shouldnt i go for stone,because stone is useful in the castle age for extra town centres and also a castle?

[Ilumiknight]

@akshayaradhya

A1: Well it really depends on what resource you're low on, but you generally want to go heavy on food so most of your villagers should go to food during the dark age and like 7ish on wood. You really don't need that many or any miners in the dark age, but that can very based on your strategy. I usually have 2 or 3 miners.

A2: Most of the time I go for stone in the Dark Age for exactly those reasons. Gold just helps if you're rushing. Get both if ya can. :D

[apocalypse105]

there was really no sarcasme in this video ahum....

[MRd1x]

how did u make that u see the time

sry im noob^^

[Ilumiknight]

@MRd1x Press F11 during a game. :)

[MRd1x]

@Ilumiknight ahhh ok thanks sorry for my bad english^^ :)

[Apacz1995]

Which civ do you prefer and why?

[TheRussianMILF]

@Apacz1995 Goths! as long as you can boom successfully and make tons and tons of barracks, you can completely swarm your enemies with mass amounts of cheap champs, halbs, and HUSKARLS!!!!! huskarls are beastly for their cost, and you can kill tcs and castles with just a few of them. :)

[TheRadojak]

@TheRussianMILF

hell yeah,they are sow awesome.

[Apacz1995]

@TheRussianMILF Lol, you must be joking, they cant build walls and Goths are retarded at all.

[TheRussianMILF]

@Apacz1995

you are obviously not a very experienced player, goths dont need walls, since they are desinged to be constantly attacking the enemy. and plus, the huskarls can take down buildings so fast, and they can max out theur population with cheap champs and halbs waaaaaay faster than anyone else.

[Apacz1995]

@TheRussianMILF Ok, may be it is civ designed to constant attacking, but before we can make army we could be attacked by the enemy being without walls. Having only palisade is retarded, cuz our base is very weak aim even if we have many huskarls. Otherwise I am rather defense player and yes, I am not experienced yet

[TheRussianMILF]

@Apacz1995

by the time the enemy attacks or rushes, goths will already have a few barracks and can easily crush any early attack since the feudal infantry for goths is so cheap and quick to build

[MrDrunkenDane]

@Apacz1995 Vikings! cuz im Danish and i play as them alot, so i've gotten used to them =)

[TheGreatSv]

what will be your next vid?

[LitttleD94]

How many villagers should I make typically before advancing, and how many on each resource?

[CHEIFGRAWLER]

@LitttleD94somewere around 27 villagers and probably 10 on wood and 17 on food (enless you are doing a rush like a tower rush for exsample you would put villagers on stone earlier and go to feudal with less villagers to attack earlier) if this didn't help much just watch some of ilumiknights videos : )

[LitttleD94]

@CHEIFGRAWLER No actuallyt hat has been helpful. I have the outlines of some strategies, but I feel I get overwhelmed as the game progress because I have no idea if I have no villagers, or to much.

[Ilumiknight]

@LitttleD94 Well, it entirely depends on what the situation is, but as long as your town center is always working up till about 100 villagers (depends on your needs) then you're doing fine. :)

[LitttleD94]

@Ilumiknight Do you actually count how many villagers you have, or do you just make a rough guess that you have 100?

[CHEIFGRAWLER]

@Ilumiknight i make 150 villagers then delete a bunch of them

[Ilumiknight]

@CHEIFGRAWLER Whatever works for you :D I just try to give a very rough ballpark estimate but its up to the player to find what works best for them.

[shmile17]

@melariak hes not a noob this would be a video for noobs........

[Royalemperorblue]

Hey, how do you get that clock in the upper left?

[CHEIFGRAWLER]

@Royalemperorblue F11

[TamtartheGreat]

You can get AoC at Walmart, it's like 10 bucks

If you want to get on Voobly google "Voobly", register to create an account, and download it. Once it's downloaded you can log on by using the shortcut on the desktop (sometimes when you try to play it will have to install updates, just select "yes") Click on "Medieval Siege" and join a game. When the game launches it will automatically send you to the multiplayer screen and then the host just starts the game.

[CHEIFGRAWLER]

two questions do you play on voobly? and if you do whats your rating?

[williamzhang100]

@CHEIFGRAWLER

[Melarki2]

dude u suck

[CHEIFGRAWLER]

@Melarki2 booooooooooo

[Melarki2]

@CHEIFGRAWLER hes a noob

[TheRussianMILF]

@Melarki2 if youve seen any of his other vids, you would know that he could kick your ass. this is a tutorial for noobs like you

[CHEIFGRAWLER]

@TheRussianMILF yes



[TheRussianMILF]

@Melarki2 Wololo

[CHEIFGRAWLER]

@Melarki2 he does not suck he's a great player

[Melarki2]

@CHEIFGRAWLER he sucks and so do you

[steebgreeb]

A how to play Age of Empires 2 video in 2011. Did not expect this to exist

[cannonkingz]

a decent tutorial that does cover allot of things that any beginner should enjoy, perhaps next time you could make a video of what to do in difficult situations, for example if you were facing mass elephants in black forest a good way to turn the tide would be to use monks that can easily convert a slow unit like the elephant rather than go head on and loose your army to a unit that practically stomps to death anything you could engage it with, so maybe some videos with tips like ^^

[MarianOctavarium]

I am a Noob ... I download this game today and im subbing right now

[Karthor21]

'I'm gonna use these to defend our base from the evil red menace. And, no, he's not a communist.'

[oddysseuss]

I agree, I've slipped into sleep peacefully ;)

[xlthenoob]

it's narrated like a bed time story..... except it has some coarse languages, if I consider myself a 4 years-old pussy lol

when I first played age 2 I clicked on the Learn to Play button in the main menu

[shmile17]

That Was soooooo funny!! XD

[florintudor96]

man you make great videos

[TheRadojak]

For your 1000 subscribers you made a video about basics of a game?? I guess that every one of them knows how to play AOEII. you should make something better,an epic battle.2hours of battle

[AK86CZE]

Dou you play Medieval II Total War or not?

[satochi08]

lol these are really.... basics :D

[DualKnifeBlade]

My birthday was yesterday! And you made it on my birthday! Dude this is kinda like an indirect birthday present or something. Seriously, thanks, I watch all your videos and I'm pretty delighted to see this. I haven't watched it yet, but I'll be sure to ask a question when I'm done

[sebastiangallegoceba]

"Lets go show this pussy what we are made of" lmfao!!!

[nadnerbbk]

"Like over there's a forest and -OMG some SHEEP!!" XD

[KazoogleKoogle]

[150booyadragon]

[KingKoaster777]

[ImTheBowser]

Woo I love your videos :)

[necoforce]

If you could just swear a bit less, it would be easier to listen.. :) Good video, eventhough im looking forward to some more narrated online battles - thats what im waiting for :) Keep up the good work....

[yohanZ95]

This maybe isn't for me but I like that you try to expand the community by posting narrated tutorials :)

[XXXsziliXXX]

My fav. civilization is Britons too :)

[Tinypig13]

Maybe it's just me but some things in this video was hilarious. Good job and keep it up.

[qFlaidback]

not really something for me. but this will make people buy the game (or download) and increase its popularity. possible idea: maybe narrate some favorites: favorite team on which map etc. still enjoying these vids. keep it up.

[Aldawok12]

What do you use to record? I usually use xfire for recording, but they don't support this game.

[Le4veMeAlone]

nice video mate! keep up the good work!

[tamerius1]

I didn't learn something but awesome vid :P

[MrDrunkenDane]

"And holy shit my base looks completely different, even i cant reconize it. ah and i hit the damn pop- limit" lols

[MrDrunkenDane]

[Vaettir77]

@donli08

Order online, I got AOE II + Conquerors and AOE I + Expansion all for 15ish dollars

[HenatiTm]

[donli08]

@HenatiTm even if u download online its still not a game that everybody will download

[stig781]

@donli08 Yes, but, I recently had a renewed interest inplaying it, and since it isn't around in stores, you can just torrent it in about 15 mins.

[mattthekat86]
