  1. Age of Empires II Definitive Edition arrive enfin sur Mac, en natif Apple Silicon

    #Mac4Ever #AgeOfEmpires #aoe2

  2. Нашёл настоящее и настоявшееся сокровище в виде age of empires 2. RTS игра 1999 года, которая и по сей день сохраняет онлайн больше 20 тысяч человек, обновляется и не становится хуже с переизданиями! Выпуск Definitive Edition поддерживает последние версии винды, хорошо работает в протоне и скоро будет нативной для макось, а еще есть 4к текстуры!

    Ну и, конечно, сам геймплей – самое свойственое для ванильных RTS проявление потных закликиваний, таймингов и стратегий. Собственно то, за что жанр и не любит широкая общественность.

    Но есть одно НО: игра недоступна к покупке в стиме из России :ablobcatbongoangry:

    Несмотря на то что я фанат жанра RTS, этот изумруд я профукал! Но теперь исправился, буду учиться играть. :blobfoxcomfy: а ещё постараюсь писать посты про игру в мастодоне, чтобы больше людей о ней узнали :ablobcat_yummy:

    Wololo!

  5. Je ne suis pas un grand fan de #AoE2 ni de #streaming en général mais j'ai adoré le résumé de cette partie:
    youtube.com/watch?v=tqlO9KrD8vc

    C'est du bonbon. Presque aussi palpitant que la série du #CH

  6. If any of you play aoe2 multiplayer, add me so we can play tgs.

  8. I know this isn't the famous "Definitive Edition" of AoE II - which is also great! - but I'm still in love with this game in its original version and form. Looking at this at an aspect ratio of 4:3 running on Windows 95 just feels right in so many ways! And it still plays great!

    P.S. I'd like to give a shout out to the development team of 86Box. You guys are keeping my childhood computers alive. Thank you!

  9. This sunday, I kept tinkering some more with 86Box and a few games for Windows 95. The most important game of that era ... at least for me .. is already working great! Here's "Age of Empires II" running on Windows 95.

  11. Gústame moito o Age of Empires 2, pero unha cousa que ten de xogo vello que me saca de quicio é que se nunha partida online o meu xogo crashea, perdo a conexión ou o que sexa, quedo automaticamente fóra da partida e non hai forma de volver a entrar 😡

  12. For any other AoE2 heads out there, I just need to say how much I love the new patch. I've always wanted infantry to be more than absolutely useless as they have been for forever, so as you can imagine, I'm having some good fun lately.

    Also those new Castles, Monks, & Elite unit skins are 🔥

  13. I always knew about the Wololo since the 90s, but now that I played the AoE expansion for AoE2, I also now got the Hamena-Hamena...

  16. So the "Return to Rome" expansion does port the original Age of Empire campaigns into AoE2 DE, but does not include the "Rise of Rome" expansion.

    That seems like deceptive advertising.

  19. Ooooooh!!! 🤩

    Shortly after I stopped playing Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition two years ago, they released all of Age of Empires 1 as an expansion for 15€.

    I never actually played that game. Totally gotta get it.

  20. I really don't know why I keep getting pulled back into playing Age of Empires 2 competitively every day.

    I am really bad at the game.

    And I know I keep losing almost every game because I have not yet gotten around to start building an army when the other player invades my base. What I am completely lacking is the most basic RTS skill of doing both at the same time.
    And still I want to play more every day.

  21. I picked up Age of Empires 2 again and thought I could replay the campaigns on silver.

    My life if pain and suffering!!!

    I might insanely try to continue with this in two or three days, but playing more than just the French campaign on silver is not going to happen. Bronze is perfectly enough.

  22. Bueno, ya he hecho mucho hoy por la casa y el gato, me toca distraerme un poco con una partida en el #AoE2 o quizas un rato en #Skyrim y por que no tratar de recuperar mi nave en #EVE.
    Como sea necesito tener de fondo un poco de música #reggae.

  23. The July 17, 1998 prototype of Age of Empires II offers a rare look at the game's early development. This pre-alpha build features a UI similar to the original Age of Empires, incomplete AI, missing animations, and an exclusive E3 scenario showcasing early promotional battles. It also includes cut features like the "Snow" terrain type, making it a fascinating artifact of RTS history.

  24. Haven't used Win Apps on Linux for a while now (not months, more like years). #usebottles is really nice. Distributed as Flatpak, with environments located inside the Sandbox. Played some hours Age of Empires II in Multiplayer LAN mode wirhout a single problem. 💻 🎮

  25. It's the first day back at work after the Christmas break and for this evening I'm already thinking about which game to play of the several that I (re)started while I was on leave.

    Option 1 - continue my latest Baldur's Gate run (BG1, not this fancy BG3 business) that I'm enjoying. Playing as a semi-evil Blade this time!
    Option 2 - I picked up F1 Manager 2024 on sale for the Switch and I'm working my way through the season as a backmarker, which is way more fun than picking Red Bull and steamrolling my way to the podium every race. It's a shame that the Switch port seems to run a bit sluggish.
    Option 3 - overcome my "ranked anxiety" and play an online game of Age of Empires 2 for the first time in a year or two, and not care too much about winning or losing.

  26. This is coming from a fan of the games but I'm actually pretty bad at them.

    I should probably give #aoe2 another try. I've been sitting on definitive edition for a long time. 🤔

  27. Paper Money ranks among the worst unique techs in #aoe2. Here's my fix: make all garrisoned units generate gold. For the Vietnamese, an archer civ, this tweak promotes a distinctive play style, making towers and castles crucial.

  28. Recently got into Age Of Empires 2 DE, and graduated to the moderate AI. This was probably my craziest game so far (50 hours). Spanish v/s Korean.

    #AoE2

  29. When it comes to #RTS #games, only the #AgeOfEmpires series is actively supported and lively right now. Mainly #AOE2 and #AOE4. And don't even mention #Blizzard's #StarCraft 2. They said years ago that they stopped supporting it. No more content, funding or anything... meanwhile AOE2 keeps getting constant patching and DLCs even tho' the basegame is over 20 years old. Now that's commitment!

  30. Being able to rebuff an early rush in Age of Empires 2 and rebound into a successful counter attack is a great feeling. I feel like I'm starting to do a lot better in the macro management when taking on fights better than I used to. Always used to crumble under the pressure and neglect my eco.

  31. Skyrim, one of the greatest western RPGs, has been recreated as an RTS with this wicked Age of Empires II mod, coming very soon.

  32. #AgeOfEmpires 3 Definitive Edition just went #FreeToPlay! It's not the full version but there's a portion of the campaign and you can try out different civs each week.

    #AOE3 was a hidden gem if you ask me. A black sheep oftentimes considered to be in the shadows of its predecessor, #AOE2.

    I still think aoe2 is objectively better, but aoe3 is still a lot of fun and definitely worth checking out!

    I actually liked it more than #AOE4.

  37. Feeling mighty smug after getting back into age of empires, and getting called a cheater for my mad skills 😆

  38. #AgeOfEmpires2 for #Xbox was a brilliant move! I don't own an Xbox nor a #PlayStation but all in all although I mostly play on PC, I do think it's great that whole gaming genres aren't limited to a single platform and #RTSGames have mostly been #PCGames.
    Yes there's been a couple console launches, but they have been a limited treat.

  39. #AgeOfEmpires4 had a very rocky launch.
    #AoE4 had lots of shortcomings and balance issues early on but I think they might have been ironed out.
    #AgeOfEmpires2 still seems way popular and better received of two.
    #AoE2 Definitive Edition has been one of the best remasters I've ever played. I have nothing but praises about it.

    Haven't gotten #AoEIV yet and I've been enjoying #AoEII or more precisely, #AoE2DE quite a lot and bought all the DLC.

    AoE4 dropped from 60€ to 40€ and is 40% off at 24€

  41. @ImACultHero I guess I'm just surprised more than anything else. Generally when I see anything #Stellaris #Civ6 #CK3 #CitiesSkylines, I find it's generally safe to assume it's the PC (Steam specifically) version being played.

    Although #AoE2 #AoE4 are definitely going to muddy those waters somewhat next year with their console versions coming out.
