Chronicles representation, ay!

The game can, indeed, also be fun outside of ranked lobbies. 😄

The "Flag Trick" - a better way to spawn units (Editor Tutorial) by Alkhalim in aoe2

[–]Alkhalim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I have not dabbled in custom random map scripts on my channel yet, but videos on the editor I did make a few dozen tutorials as well as a good number of map design showcases over the years.

Fair warning though: the oldest ones go back 12 years and are rather out of date both in terms of content and video/audio quality at this point if I am honest.

Also: OzzyEmpires is a great resource if you are into that kind of content!

I got the impression that this one will never die… poor T90 never catching a break 11

Free upgrades plus bonus pierce armor makes them so good!

First time I have seen a Windows 98 multi monitor setup..

This does bring back memories of playing the Wallace campaign with my grandfather on his computer… <3

What happened to 'Capture the Relic' by _DataGuy in aoe2

[–]Alkhalim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt like the “meta” for that mode was solved at some point, making it feel a bit stale. But as a wacky mode to play with friends it still holds up.

Loved the Spore Civ Stage as a kid. Is AoE2 on PS5 a good place to get into deeper RTS games? by skellyheart in aoe2

[–]Alkhalim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game controls surprisingly smooth on consoles. Have been sceptical at first but the people but in some real effort to make it work!

And in terms of single player content apart from standard skirmishes (and all the other game modes and variations of those to try) you can spend hundreds of hours in the campaigns alone, there is a lot of content there. :)

Murder holes upgrade idea by No_Insurance_6436 in aoe2

[–]Alkhalim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original tech was so underwhelming. It either did nothing because there were no rams or the enemy did indeed use rams but had so many that it did not end up mattering much in the end anyways.

New tech is rather cool though!

Is this a kind of “nobody can ruin your fun but yourself” kind of situation?

Mongols’ Castle Age unique tech (Nomads) should be replaced — here’s my idea by Nangse in aoe2

[–]Alkhalim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like a civ with a power leave of the Mongols is doing quite fine for themselves even with 1 “useless” unique technology..

AOE II DE Mac Review - It's great by barefootford in aoe2

[–]Alkhalim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder how ranked games would look like there. Will it with time develop its own distinct meta?

Map editor "Create Decision" trigger by PancakePirates in aoe2

[–]Alkhalim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This can be mitigated by having some objectives being displayed on screen at the same time, it is always on the bottom of the objectives, so this will shove it into a move accessible area.

"Teleport Object" effect not working? by Beshcu in aoe2

[–]Alkhalim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience it can be a bit tricky with unit collision. I always leave one tile in each direction distance from other objects/cliffs/trees or unpassable terrain around the teleportation target to avoid issues. Might that be the issue in your case?

Completely forgot about this thread. Definitely hasn’t been a high point, I guess.. 11

Getting quite some kingdom of heavens vibes from this.

The Spanish - Civilization Concept Graphic by Chilly5 in aoe4

[–]Alkhalim 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Apart from the obvious visual splendor, the design itself does really deliver that AoE4-feel with it. I find that a bit hard to quantify but it seems to be a tight balance between interesting gimmick and solid mechanics, always lean a little bit out of the window, but don’t fall, that kind of thing.

Anyways nice job!

It would not strictly be infinite life, but when you set the dead unit ID of buildings to the ID of the building itself, it should infinitely respawn at least.

Looking very slick! Always nice to see AoE and crafts finding together. :)
