That game was broken after a windows update, if you ever pressed enter for chat/cheats the game would freeze. Not sure if it ever got fixed as the devs stopped doing any patches.

Reminder this only exists because there's an open source clone of the engine that is crossplatform that only needs the gamefiles to run
Also microsoft can't do anything about it because it's already legal

Do you mean Voobly? Either way, I wonder how long it will take for a Wololol Kingdoms style mod for the DE version so people can play DE content on the old engine like they can with HD content.

I skimmed this shit thread and moved on with my life.
A few hours later I realize I got shit all to do and look for a torrent.
Some shit you should know.
AoE2 HD: 1.3 GB works on anything more complicated than a toaster.
AoE2 DE: 17.2 GB and Windows 10 ONLY (nice jew move)
Is the new version worth 16 more GB and JewOS.. obviously not.

The old one looks as good as it can, it has aged like wine so there's no reason to remake it.
More than that i'd like an expansion that gives more skins and animations for the units of different cultures and really huge maps to focus on empire building.

At the moment there's only 4 civs playable so I haven't even bothered playing much of the beta. So i cant really say much about the pathfinding.

I think the textures are 4x bigger than hd or something, plus there are animations for building collapses, so the size increase makes sense. It's just an unnecessary visual upgrade (or downgrade depending on your taste) and it runs the risk of splitting the AoE2 community (again).

Any civ with a good 40 villager fast Imperial build. Like Teuton Onager + Seige Engineers, Byzantine 2 Stable Heavy Camel, Korean Bombard Tower, and so on. I understand fast Imperial is usually a meme build given the nature of most maps, but I really like the sudden power spike style of play. That, and it gets an army going without having to macro more than one Town Center. Call me slow, but I don’t manage an army + multiple TC’s well and fast Imperial builds are a good way around that.

If you haven't noticed, game assets haven't been efficiently compressed since about 2012. Devs from all over have gotten so lazy with filesizes because harddrive space is so cheap and most people have internet speeds that can download 20 gb in less than 2-3 hours, that and consoles moving onto bluray disks that are something like 10x the storage space of a DVD from yesteryear there's little incentive for devs to compress data anymore.

I got in the beta. Haven't really played it yet. Tried observing games, but after the game catches up to the current point, you get 1 second of gameplay, 1 set of lag, rinse and repeat. Dunno if actually playing is like that.
They're only beta testing multiplayer right now.Only civs currently playable are brits, vikings, tartar, and franks.
Also all the new middle east civs are getting a shared calvary unit. There's going to be a new castle age tech for most civs that makes their militia line 40% cheaper for food.

Sounds cool, but we’ll see. Goths get an even bigger bonus on their Militia line for free and yet they still usually don’t use them until Imperial.

They do
Also just checked and goths get it too. Called supplies. It's only -25% food. Cost is 150 food and 100 gold.
Seems like it's mostly being done to allow longswordsmen to become viable during castle. For anyone who doesn't know. M@A to longswordsmen doesn't have the same powerspike that Knights or Archers to crossbows provides.

That alone might make it worth it. Gives them a reason to go with something other than Huskarls all day every day.Would be neat to see players pull off Goth infantry spam in Castle Age also.
Any changes to Koreans? I heard people are expecting Koreans to get a wood discount on their units costing wood, sans seige, but that may have been wishful thinking rather than a planned change.

People should demand the devs to compress the game's filesize, one reason why games never get through often is because of filebloat.
Speaking of new stuff, will DE have a 'gaia resource regen' of sorts included? And will food sources like sheep be able to garrison mills for a steady stream of food? and will the trade workshop finally become buildable where you can choose which resource you want to have a steady supply of instead of having to convert thatterrible waste of space feitoria?

I think AoE2 HD did a great job on most ends, except the online, which is still completely fucked. If they can get the online right in DE, then this will really be the best way to play AoE2.
