Villager in the dark ages are able to shoot accurately at wild charging boar and deer, but trained archers need to research ballistics and thumb-ring to hit a moving man.

Single villager survives. _ Rebuilds an entire Kingdom - Yet humbly decides to remain a villager.

How one villager can benefit from two-man saw.

Gimli is right. Elephants only count as 1.

You forgot that a single boar can destroy a civilization and a Japanese samurai speaks fluent Spanish immediately after conversion.

Well obviously buildings are hardest to convert. It's like talking to a wall with them!

As an construction worker, i can confirm that repairing a building takes longer than making one out of scratch. Because making one is just making one. Repairing one means disassembling it, repairing the problem, then building it again.

Congratulations!! We now have wheelbarrows. Villagers: No thanks. We can carry 20 woods with out bare hands.

"Oh dont worry little chap. This building have been on fire since the dark ages."

if I remember correctly: villager kills animal = food soldier kills animal = no food

"Yo bro, can you help me? My house is on fire." "k" *grabs hammer and hammers the house until the fire just magically disappears*

A Mangonel, a Ram, a Scorpion, a War Elephant and a Fishing Ship sharing one home. Sounds like a sitcom idea.

This game doesn't make sense! Wololo This game makes sense!

It's what you don't hear in the convertion. Monk: "HEY! If you don't join me, I'm gonna beat you with this stick!" Enemy Unit: "You make a good point." *Changes color* Monk: "Protect me while I get the nerve to threat someone else."

"Bow? Nah, I wanna watch the life leave his eyes." -AoE2 Villager going to fight

Monks: come join us Barrack: ok

Another villager thing that has always bothered me: They carry at all times: A fishing net, an axe, a bow, arrows, a knife, a pickaxe, and harvesting tools of various kinds. Even when upgraded, they can carry huge two person saws on top of this. I mean, villagers are the most buff OP units in the game!

Shoot a boar once, no fucks given. Shoot a boar twice, chases you for eternity!

I heard this old dude yelling "wololololo" at me, so I inexplicably liked, subscribed, and now commented.

The meso civs can research horse collar despite having no horses

Everyone is born an Adult. ~AoE Logic

i yelled at a building once. it changed faith.

I always provide my siege rams with comfortable beds

As a lifelong carpenter, I can say that repairing a burnt out house does take longer than building new.

Spanish have handcanoneers on horses, need chemistry to get them down from the horse.....

You missed the part where villagers can repair a farm on flames with a hammer :D

I was waiting for you to say that Stones are harder to find than gold, also more valuable!!

Congratulations! We now have double saws. Villagers: No thanks. We'll stick with our axes.

Chop one tree. Build 50 tiles of palisade wall.

Conversion works by wololo. If you're ever having an argument just say 'wololo' or 'aiyoh-yo-yo' and you'll know they've been persuaded to your side because the colour of their shirt will change. Yet another life lesson from Age of Empires!

Random Villager: I'm hungry. Me: WHAT? I GAVE YOU 50 FOODS!!! Random villager: I have been working for 50 years. Me: So?

My number one question in terms of logic is: WHY are Teutonic KNIGHTS on FOOT?

Gimli was right, they still only count as one.

Even if the villager is carrying 1 meat, its like he/she is carrying half the animal

Takes berries from bush The bush magicaly dissapears

Repair takes longer than construction in real life. (From a family of contractors)

How about units performing flawlessly until they die, regardless of their current HP?

Destroying a fish trap... WITH ARROWS! Must've been the archery competition of the century.

Why do trees never grow back? Sheep, fish etc never breed?

4:43 AoE sheep may be able to explore, but Warcraft sheep are able to explode!

the monks don't carry the relics they use the force if you look closely

it bugged me as a kid that the catapult walks by itself, lol

The way catapults drive themselves always threw me off

"Naturally, buildings are the most stubborn to have religious debates with" That just made my day :)

Sheeps are backbone of every successful empire.

I always hear "Age of Vampires"

You mentioned monks conversion but didn't talk about how waving a staff can heal all injuries

when a unit gets converted they instantly change from their uniform into a different colored one which they happen to be carrying around even the siege and the elephants

Axemen never run out of axes.

Using a team of people to smash a very large, very heavy object into a building: tons of damage Using a team of people to smash a very large, very heavy object into a person: 1 dmg

The AOE logic about building/repairing buildings does actually make sense. I work in construction and this is legit, i'll explain. Lets make this simple and use drywall. Constructing one piece of drywall takes maybe 10 minutes at most. Yet if a person knocks a hole in the drywall, you need to cut a matching piece, make sure it fits snug, do the same steps as just adding a new piece but with much more precision. It does take less resources, but more time consuming. As far as wooden construction, lets say you have a beam that is rotten. A builder needs to brace up the roof, cut the rotten piece, cut a matching piece, all of this is without a pre-made plan. most of the time when I build new buildings, I can zone out half of the shift, similar to riding a bike. But repairing requires a new behavior, planning, and precision. I can imagine that AOE played this part also for balance issues, but the logic actually is legit - it takes longer to repair than to build from scratch. It sounds weird, but anybody that does construction would agree. Edit: Obviously it also depends on the type of repair, but generally speaking

The fact that the wind always comes for the back of the boats is also quite odd. Even if two boats are facing each other, the wind comes from both of their backs :)

Fish Trap on fire..................................in the water. ~AoE Logic

Villagers wake up. The scout: Ah ! You are finally awake. You were trying to cross the border right ?

One thing that most people overlook is how ships are just as agile as horses and shoot forwards

Takes berries from bush. Berries don't grow back. ~AoE Logic.

#21 - Villagers have a lifespan of 4 historical eras

Soldier: I'm about to end this Monk's Whole career! Monk :Wololo Wololo Soldier: I'm about to end this Monk's all enemies' Whole Career!

We have Aztec warriors, whose weapons are iron. (Men-at-arms, longswordsmen, Two handed swordsmen, champions) Quetzalcoatl confirmed.

Soldiers carry every colored uniform in the game for when a monk points a stick at them.

More on #20: workers carrying logs into a flaming building. Nuff said.

Why does it take wood to seed a field? Sure, you need wood for farm equipment, but not each time you reseed. It takes twice as much wood to plant a field of crops as it does to build a 5 person house.

11:03 Easy. The ram is flipped 90º to a vertical stance, then it pounds the farm. Logically, that erodes the soil and makes it hard for a farm to ever recover.

1) Spearmen lose to a villager 1v1 without armor or weapon upgrades, despite the villagers not using hunting bows to defend. 2) Teutonic knights don't ride horses. 3) Farms are harvested best when placed in the center of the city (the town center). 4) Cliffs don't need elevation gradient whatsoever. 5) Trebuchets have a longer range than cannons. 6) Cannonballs from cannon galleons travel as if they're in the Matrix. 7) Ships have less HP than paladins.

On an all new sitcom, witness the most whimsical roommates trying to live their daily lives in the same home! Starring: Onager Battering Ram War Elephant Scorpion and Fishing Ship! See everlasting hilarity and heartbreaking drama in Sieged by the Persians, coming soon on Fox.

"Easy there Bavieca, this could turn into the Godfather..." Best line 😂😂😂

Having worked in construction a bit, I can confirm repair can sometimes take much longer than building from scratch.

3:15 lady: "no i won't share a room with someone. I'd rather die!!" 3:22 she dies ._. also love it when the wolf gets out of the way to let the villager build at 6:48

Even WALLS have a faction.

I've always though of units in this game representing a small team of units. One villager is actually a team of 10, one sheep is actually a family of shepherds. This helps explain several of the weird quirks in the game.

I now want to see a sitcom where an elephant, mangonel, ram, scorpian, and a (fishing?) ship share a house.

#11 "Stop Wolf, im building" the Wolf -"My Apologies, i gonna respect the fact that you are constructing sir, i gonna move out your building construction site"

my biggest wonder: where do they get the donkeys they use in the mills from if there are no donkeys in the whole world?

3:04 how stupid we are. AoE2 was practicing social distancing 2 decades ago

"Sheep can explore. What is this?" The moment he says "what is this" I couldn't help but to explode laughing hahahahaha

Hitting a castle with a knife for long enough will set it on fire.

The thing that annoys me most is that siege weapons move, despite no one being there to move it.

3:20 That poor woman that got left behind.. She died alone, hopeless and with noone to hear her screams of agony as the knight drew his sword through her heart.. That is brutal. Man, those knights have no mercy.

The sheep one cracked me up, when the wolf just casually lets the sheep stroll by.

It takes longer to collect food from one sheep than it does to build a house

The repair vs. built time part, it is logical and true. I work in construction and when repairing, you need to remove the damaged parts and then replace them with new ones. Meanwhile when you are building, you just install them without having to remove anything. It does take longer, and material cost remains the same, meaning that in the game it should still have a relatively higher cost to repair buildings, and it should take longer. And realistically people are faced with such decisions in every day modern life, should I fix my broken car or is it cheaper to buy a new one?

Where did all the dislikes come from? Edit: oh you killed some deer. That exlains it.

"Oh look! A deer, shoot it!!!" "Oh crap an enemy is here, but *don't* shoot him. Yeah that's just how we do things here."

I just like the idea that an empire can gather tonnes of stone, stockpile it someplace, and one guy can use it to build a castle ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DAMN WORLD.

I don't know why you can't walk through a Market. You can walk through a Town Center...

I think things that are missing are: Why are some siege weapons driving and shooting without a anyone leading them? Completely! On their own Why can't you use ships as place to live in, like a house? Ancient Greece did it for hundreds of years especially during Greek/Persian war And the worst one for me: Why can't you use Wonder as a place to live in But ffs some wonders are MASSIVE like the Franks, Britons, Celts, Teutonons and on and on and on Those things are bigger than the cities I get it for Saracens, Berbers, Vietnamese and... perhaps... Slavs

I spit my noodles when the fat king was running faster than the eagle warrior. Then i literally choked(and hurt my throat lmao) when the ram was attacking a farm. This is too funny i swear

Monk converting an elephatn: Hey, I have peanuts!

Oh yeah, the monks. They carry relics with one single hand! No wonder why they need to carry a stick in the other hand. wait, I've figured it out "Oh... you would not part an old man from his walking stick?" All monks are Gandalfs

The part with the elephant always broke my immersion during the Barbarossa last mission (in which my whole strategy relied on converting as many elephants as I could). I always tried to picture that there was somebody riding it.

8:50 also, carrying that relic with only one hand, lol

Villager: "Sheep! Go out and Explore!" Sheep: "Baaaah!" *sheep heads out 10 minutes later. Villager: "And? What did you find?" *pulls out map Sheep: "Baaaah!" Villager: "Uh huh...." Sheep: "Baaaaaaah!" Villager: "Mmh.. very interesting..." Sheep: "Baah. Baah!" Villager: "So there's a lake there? Good to know!" Sheep: "Baaah...." Villager: "An enemy Barracks? Nice work scout. Now we're prepared."

WHY IS THE KING SO FAST? Answer: One day Bill Gates called the AOE developers and said: *Bill*: Guys, about AOE.... i was thinking... Why don't we add also regicide as a way to win? *Developer1*: Oh yeah! why not! *Bill*: Oh and make sure the king is f __t! i gtg, bye! * hang up * *Developer2*: what did he said? *Developer1*: That the king have to be fast! *Developer2*: No i think he said fat! that would make sense! *Developer1*: ...like if our game for anything else make sense.... *Developer2*: well... so let's make it FAT and FAST, so it doesn't make even more sense and for sure we don't disappoint Mr Gates!!! :D *Developer1*: YAY!!

One of the things that always annoyed me about castle building games is how ridiculously weak they make the walls and how overpowered they make catapults there have been seiges throughout history that lasted for months you don't just blast the wall a few times with a few rocks and then get in

For some reason, the second an animal dies the food starts gong bad, but when the food is placed in storage (in the dark ages) it stays fresh......... forever -AOE logic at it's finest

There is no such thing as iron in Age of Empires. It's a concept but it doesn't actually exist.

a guy yelling wololo is enough for me to join his side

I researched writing in the Bronze Age, only to have to research cartography in the Feudal Age. Similarly, I could build stables and archery range in the Tool Age but not in the Dark Age...

"Hey baby! what do you say? wanna make a new villager" that made my day
