HA! I finished it!

Nice job! That first Incan campaign mission was hard as hell, I don't think I even tried the second mission after I finished the first one. :hide:

Thanks fellers. Weirdly I didn't think any of the campaign was overly difficult. I tried the Inca campaign after getting repeatedly pummeled by the Portuguese colonial campaign in Africa. The first mission of that campaign was very tough with a limited number of combat units that get their arse kicked and whittled down, and after multiple tries like al, I just gave up on that one.

Great job Gus.

Hey does anyone know if the new AOE has the wo-lo-lo-lo sound effect in it?

Gusington · December 21, 2021, 01:24:03 PM

Can you further describe the sound effect? I think most of the original audio is intact and has been updated in the definitve edition.

Which new AOE? AOE 4 or AOE 2: DE?

In AOE 2: DE the only units who have the classic Wololo sound are Priests, a special reskin of Monks. However, if you have a Priest, all monks you recruit also get that same sound effect!

I don't think the classic sound is in AOE 4.

^Yes! That's the one from AOE2 I believe.

Gusington · December 21, 2021, 04:55:04 PM

^HA that is definitely still in AoE2: DE!

Gusington · December 31, 2021, 04:59:16 PM

Still loving AoE2 -DE.

Just won the new Lords of the West, six chapter campaign as Burgundy. Very well done, culminates with an urban raid against Joan of Arc.

Congrats on the win Gus. Joan of Arc can't be a pushover.

al_infierno · December 31, 2021, 11:26:17 PM

Congrats! That's one of the original campaigns from AoE 2 IIRC but I still haven't gotten around to playing it. :-[

Have you played through the William Wallace campaign Gus? It's the tutorial campaign so it's pretty straightforward and fun.

Gusington · January 01, 2022, 12:12:57 AM

^I did back in 1999 to learn the game but I haven't played the DE version. There's also a knew DE Edward Longshanks campaign, also part of Lords of the West. Next up I am thinking of one of the Central or Eastern European campaigns or maybe the Vlad Dracula campaign.

A Plague Tale: Innocence is one of the better games I have played in a while with one of most frustrating final bosses. Took me over 100 tries to finally beat this bastard but finally did tonight. Very much looking forward to the sequel A Plague Tale: Requiem, due out this year.

Sir Slash · January 19, 2022, 10:46:25 PM

Damn! A hundred tries? :o Way to hang in there Gus. :clap:

Gusington · January 20, 2022, 09:29:56 AM

Might have been even more than that over the course of 3-4 evenings this week. Without fail, as the moment of clarity approaches, The Wife or one of my kids comes in to break my mojo and then suddenly after they leave...I get it. Happened again last night when I finally beat Plague Tale and was able to take the above shot. They are like annoying good luck charms.

^I feel your pain.

I've lost track of the number of times when I'm in the middle of a beastly throw down in a Total War battle when all of the sudden the wife calls out to me to help out in the kitchen.

Let me tell you, putting a Total War battle on pause, leaving the computer and then coming back to it how ever many minutes later really breaks concentration and I've lost quite a few battles because of this wife induced broken mojo.
