This may be the most impressive map I've ever seen in Age of Empires. It's Skyrim in AoE 2. Every location depicted, many quests included, and it's been years in the making. If you want to support the channel, buy games using this GOG referral link: af.gog.com/?as=1715648857 Thank you!
Reddit Thread About This #Skyrim #AoE2 Map
/ i_remade_all_of_skyrim...
There are some parts that are a bit rough around the edges and a bug here and there, and of course it's a scaled down version of Skyrim, but the sheer detail is impressive and it being an Age of Empires map, there's a whole diplomacy game where you can play as any of the major cities and fight for victory. Just look at all the work and care that went into crafting this map. Also, imagine a multiplayer game with friends where you can have an actual civil war! But today, I'm playing this solo and going on an adventure as the Dragonborn.
Let me show you how to get this custom scenario and how you can play Skyrim in Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition.

You just reminded me of my biggest project in AoE, an Age of Mythology map. I never finished it and I think I lost it when I changed PCs at some point, but it was about 2 brothers who got transformed into Frost and Fire giants. They had to travel to find a cure and AoM even supported some pretty complex scripting. I had a city where the gates wouldn't open unless you had 10 gold, so you had to go retrieve a farmer's sheep to get 10 gold and then you use that to bribe the guard. And because it was 2 brothers, it was meant to be a co-op multiplayer adventure.

@@GamerZakh Well, in Frozen Throne - Rexxar Campaign, they sort of dealt with small map problem by "location gateways" - Still the same mission, but multiple maps with waypoint transits.

Conversion of such magnitude should've been done on Warcraft 3 engine, and you can even replicate the magic and abilities via custom coding. But I doubt one warcraft map could replicate the sheer size of Skyrim. Btw the way they faked terrain elevation with Solitude is just lovely. It reminds me as a kid how I used to fiddling around attempting to create Minas Tirith in Red Alert 2 engine, which use 2d terrain system like this.

@GamerZakh 7 ай бұрын

Yeah the problem with Warcraft 3 is the maps are way too small and the scale of everything is much bigger. You could do one location on a Warcraft 3 map, so it can't be 'open world' like this. Also there aren't as many graphical assets, with all the different civ designs in AoE 2 you can make all kinds of architecture.

The AI keeps them going but they don't engage in war or do quests. That stuff would be for multiplayer or you can do them one by one. The Dragonborn stuff works better in singleplayer because you have to be Falkreath, so in multiplayer it would be easy for someone to destroy your city while you're busy with the Dragonborn. Having said that, it's in all the other players' interests to not block the Dragonborn or Falkreath because killing Alduin makes relics spawn, and the winner is who gets 7 relics.
