Using castles as siege weapons. Lol, build one, and then build the next one a little closer.all the while building guys out of them...

I bought this game on Steam for my wife and I 1.5 years ago and now we have a combined play time of over 1000 hours.

The William Wallace one... what ?

I was like "There was a game called Area of Effect?" Then "...oh Age of Empires" I'm a fake 90s kid orz

Prostagma?
DeathToSwans
I read this whole thing like it was one long sequence of events. I see now they are all individual things. Good story though
GSDPupper
Playing online, me and my brother created a game and invited random people... little did they know I had activated cheats mwahahaha!
ListeningLemon
Awesome game! Empire Earth was also good fun too.
OverlyCynicalImgurian
That AI cheats so fucking much though
chilliwillybilly
Haha.. I used to encircle someone's base with a wall and 20 towers. Anyone played AoE 3?

My first memory of gaming was when I was 12 years old playing on LAN with my dad. This game means so much to me in so many ways. I love it.

Gates don't have more health when you consider that health is spread across 4 squares instead of one :(

Age of mythology? Anyone?

Barb6 - "Don't destroy dome of the rock." But do so to defeat Jerusalem, after defeating Saracens & Persians, then kill ally Richard to win.
KurokoAS
Area of Effect?
WhateverIFeelLike666
Age of empires if you were asking
madunderscorescience
Preferred Civ3, myself.
ProvidesYouShittyLinks
not the same type of game
brknsoul
I used to the hide villager but in C&C, hide an MCV.
GroundscorePro
Aye c&c , we need one for that
SunBomb
I've only played age of mythology tho
wrathbaby
Walls have more effective HP because fewer melee units can attack it at a time, and there is some inaccuracy to siege projectiles.

I see you... 9gag...

Wololo is AoE 1..

OOH-AAH. OOH-AAH. OOH-AAH.

Thank you! The AoE 2 noise is a chorus of monks in unison.
IamnotaKoala
You can use it in the chat, plus it's easy to explain conversions

Rogan?
VideoNotes
Army base heavily fortified in the front. Slowly cut all the trees down with lumberjacks and backdoor them.
iliketosaysomethingandthenjustbanana
You do realise this is possible with the "Onagers" and Chemistry research right?
VideoNotes
Yeah but then you'd lose out on wood. I'd use those for the last stretch of forest clearing.
iliketosaysomethingandthenjustbanana
How do you lose out on wood... on Black Forest? I don't think it's even possible to be out of wood on that map :)
VideoNotes
I did this on many types of maps. The black forest maps are good for secret bases.
iliketosaysomethingandthenjustbanana
But "Spies" research > Secret bases. I get the feeling not many people played this game competitively
VideoNotes
This tactic usually started well before I had those things available. If I did build them at all.
RoboticTurtle
I've done this to friends at lan parties. I'm not proud. (but secret bases on black forest are pretty epic)
hugebattleaxe
just hit me with some nostalgic memories, I miss the aoe2 lan party days
VideoNotes
Yiisss I've only made secret bases a couple times. Kiting armies into a perfectly placed trap was always good too
ravnicrasol
No... don't come after me.... what ever shall I do... Now you get to find out where I had all my archers! DIE!
Mysteryshitposter3000
AOE2 is the only game I believe can stand the tests of time. its 17 years old and still as popular as when it came out
iliketosaysomethingandthenjustbanana
Unpopular opinion: It is far from that. Its popularity was waaaaay bigger when it came out. The competitive scene was almost the same as UT.
iliketosaysomethingandthenjustbanana
I honestly have no idea how facts are downvoted like this. AoE was more popular when it came out. Yes, people still play but not as many.

Starcraft would like a word with you

Try StarCraft.

Anarchy Online says hello! :D
Sealy300
Civ IV is still pretty popular.
JediMasterObiWanKenobi
Looking forward to Civ VI later this year, here's hoping the combine the best of IV and V
Killersmail
Doom 1 and 2 still has active modding community :D
TotallyLost
Stronghold Crusader is definitely worth a shout. Such a fun game.
ChlordBungus
Gameranger for servers. Forgottenempires for full game.
SpackJarrow
Yo fuckin' SSBM. Timeless game

Super smash brothers melee is still growing, and it came out 15 years ago.
HandsomeSwede
I can't see myself ever getting bored of TF2. I've played it for seven years and it's still great.
KungKras
Starcraft:Brood War says hi!
DongSayaDae
Battle Realms says hi, 16 years old and it still feels like a fresh RTS game "mechanics" wise, +graphics/animation still look good!
DongSayaDae
Tbh - Battle Realms has never gotten the credit or recognition it deserves, havent found a game that is similiar to it still.
DongSayaDae
Also - albeit not as good if you ask me but still a great game - Fate of the Dragon, also around the age of BR and somewhat similiar.
IATTM
Total Annihilation!
katienicole007
Age of Mythology was great too.
irongyrfalcon
Arkantos is such a badass.
Studoku
His son is such a shit though.

THE DARK LORD LOVED AOM. I WAS IN THE TOP 10 ON THE COMPETITIVE LIST FOR A FEW WEEKS. THEN THEY RUINED IT WITH THE EXPANSION.
ASmallPieceOfPaper
What is your opinion on the competitive viability of the norse? They seem soooo weak
DarkLordComments
DEPENDS ON WHAT MODE YOU PLAY, BUT NORSE IS ALL I PLAYED ACTUALLY. BUT I PLAYED DEATH MATCH MOSTLY, TO BE COMPETITIVE YOU NEEDED TO (1/2)

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR SCOUTS BEING ABLE TO BUILD, SCATTER SOME EARLY UNITS, BUILD NEAR THE ENEMY, RUSH BUILD A TEMPLE NEAR THEIR BASE

Why did no one say Warcraft 3 and The Frozen Throne? Those were so awesome I still play them every once in a while
Bcary461
Just found my copy this week! Way better than 3.
Chadss
We don't speak of 3
carlrove46
ughhh 3 was so disappointing
Snarkoleptic
I replayed Baldur's Gate 2 a couple of years ago. What a great game.
FishPotatoesOil
Playing Throne of Bhaal as a solo Monk this week, fun times!
fistermatic5000
I do that once or twice a year. Level up like crazy before the under dark and go on absolute rampage on everything. Fun times.
nemephis
Battlefield 1942 is also still fun to play.
Jackeyblob
Heroes of Might and Magic 3 might also disagree with you there.
VeddieEdder
HoMM3 is awesome!! someone should definitely make a meme out of that game :D
clotblocker
Thought I was alone on this
cyrilzeta
To me HoMM3 is still one of the best, most good looking and most fun games I have ever played.
Genotex
I still play this regularly. Got an hour? Randomly generated small/medium map vs one AI or two.
nucleophilicattack
What about the original?
spiderpig2007
Original didn't have the castles and bigass building sizes compared to human units. Otherwise - just as good. It even had wild elephants.
JacaByte
When butchering elephants you had to be careful, military kills yield no meat and using villagers risks unintentional sacrifices
spiderpig2007
Yep, we would soften them up with military, sending the villagers to finish the job.
PhilbertHFZ
Well yeah, but the original didn't get an HD re-release on Steam. Or new DLC a few months ago.
Mcapplesauce
There is an unofficial patch release balancing civilizations and gives you HD on aoe heavengames :)
CoeusDarksoul
I liked AOE1 better TBH... Sue me.

Diablo 2 says hello. 20k ish players on at a time.
hypermaniczen
I'd like to know how many of those are vanilla D2, and how many are playing Median.
TheMoistBandit
Oh god. Hours and hours of Baal Runs. Mmm.
Ssssssssssss
It appears the number 2 and being from similar eras is a hallmark of good lastability
Mysteryshitposter3000
I stand corrected then :P Always good to know.
LiquidPoo
So disappointed with Diablo 3.
Stormik
Well it is a good game, just bad Diablo game.
LiquidPoo
It really lost all of it's Diablo flare.
Sheepyhead
Well it's certainly A game. It's just not a Diablo game
LiquidPoo
TMNT is a game that is not a Diablo game. What's your point?
Sheepyhead
That they piggybacked off the Diablo brand without actually continuing it. But all the actual Blizzard folks left years ago so
ThrowAwayAsAMainBecauseISuck
These two plus Starcraft took up most of my childhood.
micmic00
lets not forget C&C: Red Alert 2
ImgurRuinedMyLife
Woohoo me too! And Descent when I was younger, but was too young/dumb to figure out how to play so I just flew around a lot
bendoverandbraceyourself
Are people still playing SC?
PervyAesSedai
Don't forget some Morrowind!
UrsaUrsa
Fallout 1 and 2 as well for me!
bsArtst
