Not every castle is like that in real lif though. And in some sense what you are refering to is a "castle keep" or we sometimes refer to it as simply a keep. Donjon was more for the knights and military units. I am not an expert but my point is, the castles in game are the type of castles that sheltered people in times od war only" which is what happens in the game when you garrison it with vils" I can see them trying to add a castle with a castle keep and shit but then that's a whole different structure AND it is not much different than building your own walls amd towers anyway. The reason age of empires walls don't give you the " keep/castles feel" is probably because you can't get on top of the walls with archers and shit, come to think of it there was an insanely good strategy game in the old days where troops could standon walls, climb walls and shit like that although i don't remember the name.
True. The second castle would have actually sufficed if you look at the entrance and the windows, at least if you go by the average central-European castle (for which you’d already have to ignore that they usually aren’t built so compactly. Still, cool video.
Imagine if aoe 4 was on this scale. I feel it was a wasted opportunity to have the sizes of the cities, armies, and battles stay on the same scale as 2 and 3. They could have made it bigger.
You’d be surprised how unplayable that would make the game. Try playing the original game resolution where barely more than 2 buildings fit on your screen.
I tried to make one recently but graphics mods are hardd rn as they recently changed their file format. Maybe when .sld files become editable I'll try again
The largest one has a bag that could fit five people in it. The small/actual size still makes sense if the porticulus only needs to fit people on foot, not horsemen.
The thing is, I’m rts games I always consider 1 unit multiple, especially in Aoe as huge battles were thought with thousands of men back Then. So one unit is really a whole group

i wish games would do this more. imagine total war with armies of 50,000. elder scrolls with actual cities and huge landscapes between. maybe AI will take us there
it was a genuinely inspired move to have our king character that so many of us grew up with walk from the original familiar castle model past an amazingly bigger castle, then finally to the actual-scale one. that's how you get the views. little touches of relatable relativity. good luck in the future.

The size of already existing castles is already accurate, Castles weren't that big in reality

@@Derrek84 rly well then but my point still stands average castles aren't that big
I like to think of the Castle building as more of a keep, that could be part of a complete castle with additional walls and towers built around it
So you want to play Stronghold :)
Exactly, its more of a fast build fortress a whole real castle would need more walls and towers and inside buildings
@@thatonedude6247 exactly like Stronghold.
that's how it is in aoe2, it's just named wrongly

Fun fact, in the age of empires 2 alpha a lot of buildings were HUGE
Especially the cathedral that’s bigger than my monitor screen. 😮
Worth 650 stone for that one.
That one actually costs 6500 stone...
@@varunmanjunath9123 on the plus side you can garrison half your population in it

I always thought 650 stone was cheap and easy for a castle.

I like to think of the units as representing groups of soldiers
Everything is highly abstracted. The game spans roughly 700 years of time, based on the aesthetics and name of each Age
Same
I always thought so too
Like in advance wars, 1 infantry unit is a group of 5 soldiers for example
Reminds me of Praetorians or CoH. You can't select an individual soldier. They're already attached to a platoon or battalion
God that music brings back so many goosebumps
They really gotta add a castle so big that it'll secure the whole particular dynasty area. It needs to be like real life
Just add a few extra ranks of castle, each one is 4X the size and 4X the stone. And the biggest one requires a minimum of 12 builders.
In that case, they'd also need to make all maps massive and increase population limits to tens of thousands or more for the sake of realism.

What's inside the sack?
what about that giant shield on the wall?
Yet still the same amount of elephants can be garrisoned as villagers.
Gimli insisted.

This reminds me that in the alpha, the castle was pretty big and was mostly just a keep with walls around it. The AoE2 feels like a compact castle.
Imagine destroying that with one single archer. 🏹

Lord Farquaad’s Castle 😂

I've always dreamed about the right size of the buildings!! Really nice vid friends!!! Keep it up!
As imposing as it looks, it makes sense that things were scaled down for game clarity, especially with the old sprites.
This is what i have always wanted in AOE and AOM

There's Always AoE1 for Building Sizes.
The second one looks good. Not too smol, not too big.
Second one big? Yeah yeah yeah. It‘s not smol? No no no.
Just Right
I'm going to need half of my population mining on that stone pronto
Aw man I had secretly hoped the Teutonic Knight was just tiny
Teu tiny for teutown
The first one became a barbie doll house
Ive always wanted it with just a small tweak around building and unit size, just units a touch smaller and buikding a bit larger and itd be perfect
Why are the frames in the walking animation so perfect? Isn't this AoE2?
They re released the game with updated graphics.
I hope can resize all buildings in AoE I, all buildings in AoE I is too small compared to people
And this drawbridge laying on the grass.
The castle in game is realistic, the castles are big but the average castle is not so big.
The music bring back lot of memories
I would love a mod like that
You would prefer your castle cover your whole map or your units be really tiny?😂😂

Remember AoE2 is the "least bad" among all AoE games (including AoM) in that regard
I remember playing AOE2 for the first time and seeing the villagers walk under the tarp at the town center and I was like 🤯
The thing is, I’m rts games I always consider 1 unit multiple, especially in Aoe as huge battles were thought with thousands of men back

That soundtrack, i really have to download aoe2 again
This why I always hated the idea of building castle in 8 seconds and destroying them in 2
No way the castles would be built of massive stone bricks, those bricks are HUGE
Thank you, may God bless you all and everyone. ❤
Lol the last one.... the sack is bigger than the T Knight
Wow the small one looks like a fort.

Stronghold sire welcome milord
Yeah on this scale the last castle is a skyscraper.
And honestly the third castle would only be the main entrance at most. Extend it 5 times to the sides and square it, and then you get a castle.
Well it depends. Castles came in different sizes
Lol it went from small castle to gigantic sack of grain and gigantic ladders on top 😂

Make every unit 50 percent size, works wonders for realism

@@DeJake No tiny units half of their size now buildings stays same
@@rhk199 Does range stay the same or does that reduce too? Otherwise archers fire double the distance
@@MattDoesSound range stays same, Essentially size of units is turned to half of what now
@@rhk199 That would literally not work since you boost all ranged units and devalue all the melee units.

This is awesome man so creative
Keep it super simple : " I'll start with a black garlic" yeah, right
so much bigger than cathedral then

Im pretty sure actual castles dont use human sized bricks
When you compare the stone brick size it's kinda off. To big for a medieval castle.
Wow if only aoe4 was like sort of top down massive more to-scale like this with epic journeys ans cities and never gonna happens
Guess the castle being big is cool and all BUT HOLLY SHIT, thats a big sack!

The original castle wasn't small... it was that teutonic knights were also warhammer knights, they are 8 feet tall😌
I must say, in AOE2 the castles still look reasonable. In AOE4 I find them just dinky, especially compared to walls.
Celt castles would be one tower and one tenth the size
