"Maybe we shouldn't have made the pyramid hollow." -- Egyptian villagers
well they didn't
Typical building firms, cutting costs on material where nobody's looking I tell you.
The little palm tree has seen it all: The collapsing and replacing of wonders throughout thousands of years...yet it still stood strong till the last one vanishes, what wisdom and strength it has!!
Swiggity swoogity, my villager coming for that tree's booty.
@Hoàng Nguyên my seige onager that's nearby says otherwise
@Hoàng Nguyên oh cheats are on?
Torpedo(all player's numbers, except mine doesn't do anything)
@Hoàng Nguyên its fine its fine, its just one round dealing with someone getting cheeky, we can do a rematch
@Hoàng Nguyên well when they want a few trees for lumber
I like how in the Incas' one the mountain also collapses. Those are some dedicated saboteurs!
To be fair if you're going to blow yourself up you're probably pretty dedicated to begin with
They took "burn to the ground" too seriously
The mountain is hollow apparently. So that's where they hid the gold!
@@woldenwolk Nice one haha
Imagine the folks who had to build that thing!

I love that guy. He is the best
Lol clever
3:24 I love how the fabric actual floats down, great attention to detail.
Would be lazy, but sorta funny if it would break in small bricks like most buildings
@@IvanezRus it would be funny. Instead it's beautiful.
Cumans and Huns: Oh no, my ruins fell down.
Not again!
I just love how these fall apart like a lego castle that all the pieces have suddenly disconnected
I love the collapsing
It doesn't look perfect (looks a bit weightless, and there should be a lot more dust during), but I really dig that they went through the effort of doing all this.

@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine LMAO
We played on aoe2 remember
@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine in gameplay there is enough dust to obscure troops
Not wanting to sound ungrateful, but for top notch quality, I think you should have captioned them.
Wonders are so rarely seen so I can't always tell which civ they're from, and neither do I know the civs alphabetically by heart, so that would have been nice.
Still love you to bits of course!
it drove me nuts seeing 2 castles collapse in a row and tryign to remember who else around magyars had a castle.
Then I remembered the Lithuanians being the new civ.
I'm fairly certain they're on alphabetical order

@@davidacvs who said I was talking about Mayan pyramids?
that's funny

Borra esto que esta bien sad :'v
@@datpisidukmv2819 so, basically a stream of you wasting a lot of time playing Age of Empires?
bro xD
When the Byzantine wonder gets destroyed, it shouldn't collapse. It should just grow 4 minarets.
YASSS
Haha.
The Everything Pagans believe in many Gods. Christians believe in one God therefore Christianity isn’t a pagan religion.
@The Everything He didn't say that.
@The Everything boy you must be great at parties mister
4:39 Love how even the palms fall apart
They made a pyramid as a hollow just pass it this time 😂
Btw, the imploding way these buildings collapse... seems like an inside job to me, tbh.
I thought the same thing. The way each building falls over itself looks like a controlled demolition (I was going to say "looks like the American way", but I guess that would've been quite rude).
Looks like the American way
"Those blast points, too accurate for sand people."
Well simple, they just get some Petards for the job.
@Paul howitt lol "google dancing israelis, they have a very unique art form"

@@finaldarkfire New Huns bonus: Destroying an enemy building other than farms and walls grants gold equal to its stone cost plus 40% of its wood cost.
1:05 - Best collapse, imo.
100% Agree
True
Agreed
Because it does not fall apart in to tiny rock blocks like almost all of the wonders, it looks different, it look cooler and more realistic to me if some parts just partially break.
Yes indeed. Especially the golden ball rolling off 🤤
_Thousands of HP and resources. Gone with the press of a key._
No resources are lost if you just use the editor. :D
Aegis my friend
1:01 the Chinese wonder has the best character going down.
Instead of getting destroyed, the Hun wonder should get repaired.
I am Hungarian and I approve this comment
Wait why?
@@alexchatter692 Hun wonder is a Byzantine Arch, but in disused state.
@@danyimedia5727 hungarians are not at all related to huns
@@penus7639 And who is related to them instead?
I love how they payed attention to the materials the buildings are made from.
The Mongol wonder is basically an oversized tent, so it folds up in a pile. The Viking wonder is made from wood, so it splinters and leaves large beams behind.
Roof tiles are mostly the first things to fall. Brick walls have larger intact sections left over. Stone blocks sometimes shatter when they hit the ground. Concrete domes stay intact as they fall, but crack upon impact.
It really shows the amount of care they put into making these buildings - by destroying them.
mate all they did was plug some numbers and shit into a physics engine and hit play. They then recorded them and took the best looking one. I mean I don't mean to trash on their hard work as they would need to make sure to get the materiel proper properties and then "construct" it. Still though the animation was just the recording of the best looking render generated by a physics engine.
Very satisfying, thank you. 1:43 particularly good. Whoever modelled these did a good job.
5:32 This should be illegal... It is physically impossible for the pyramid to collapse into itself...
If possible I would like to hear the explanation behind that.
@@LeMasterYi because the pyramid is literally a pile of stone inside placed on top of an underground tomb. They made it look like the pyramid was hollow, and it definitely isn't.
It was an inside job
What you saw my man
@@xyzno1cancer first of all, neither of the 3 pyramids on the Giza Plateau are tombs.
4:05 Spanish wondered rekt so hard that the trees start collapsing XD
Tier list of how satisfying each animation is when?
These animations are SO SATISFYING
They remind me of those huge amounts of dominoes falling down simultaneously
Wanna see it irl?
Just joking pls don't kill me.
@@anhduc0913 dude I think you better remove your comment
@@anhduc0913 I have seen one irl...no actually two
1:50 The actual Hun wonder: a destroyed Roman monument :P
what about coomans?
@@idcaf I don't know what the real Cuman civ did - and my computer does not have AOE2DE system requirements. Actually AOE2DE announcement was the first time I heard about Cumans. They don't have so much historical notoriety as a civ-destroying militarist people as Huns and medieval Mongols.
Moreover, AOE2DE gave them civ bonus that are mostly useless at Castle and Imperial Ages - except for making cavalry move faster, speeding up advancement to Castle Age and disrupting other civs' advancement. They have no other offensive bonus similar to Huns and Mongols (bonus that benefit cavalry beyond faster training and moving and improve siege warfare).
@@robfbms I only know of them because in CK2 they own a good portion of the steppe and end up conquering all of russia because of how op steppe nomads are and from Kingdom Come: Deliverance as the mercenaries employed by Hungary
isnt it a byzantine monument made in rome?
@@ajrikimartine4466 seems fitting, seeing as how Byzantium is the Roman Empire
firstly: most informative spirit video since forever 9001/10
secondly: everyone is gushing about how good the collapsing animation is and here i am finding it totally stupid because all of the fire just disappears right before it starts collapsing
and how would a pyramid even collapse????? those things are massive and solid apart from a few single hallways
i find the collapsing animation unsettling and uncanny valley
@@TactfulWaggle If my theory is correct, watching it at 1.75 speed or 2x the speed should make it less uncanny valley esque
Yeah I don’t like it either :\
@@ZoltoksI am watching it on 1.55 and it's fine.
@Nonna Urbisness Take your meds and chill.
1:26 too soon.
Not gonna lie - that was one of the first things I thought. The animators had to have that going through their minds, right?
LoL
@Tin Le I only really made this comment because I remembered that explination video and how he said they looked similar.
"Hey, I've seen this one!" "What do you mean you saw it, it's brand new."
Not to worry, we're still having half a Notre-Dame.
Wasting six minutes of my life has never been so satisfying. Well done, sir.
I dont think it's a waste tbh
"The target has been bombed. Terrorists win."
Next round.
Buy time.
Great one with all the inside-job talks :D
You could almost hear somebody yelling "when I get my hands on who ever is pulling out the bottom brick on my wonders"
People talk about how they dislike that flames go out before the buildings collapse, but personally I prefer it this way. And not only form the point of gameplay convenience to indicate when it's destroyed. No, I mean this way buildings look as if they were abandoned for centuries and collapsed because their civilization collapsed long ago. Most invaders don't tear down every building even after it had burned through. That's why the fate of Carthage is such a notable exception.
Most of them looked too empty after collapse though.
P.S.: also a nice touch in the way that most of the buildings that inspired in-game wonders DO still stand. Even if some of them actually looked like this exact abandoned state and with minor damage sustained... so you can say that they undergo animation, but at a rate of centuries;)
5:31 Everything makes sense collapsing except for the pyramid ^^
Yeah. Pyramids are not hollow.
Also the mountain wonder 1:50 was a little off. Unless that mountain was totally hollow.
@@Catsrules1 They have a secret base with nuclear missiles inside the mountain.
@@Catsrules1 Oh right, I totally oversaw the mountain or skipped it. That makes 2 weird ones then.
@@MiyuGreer Ah, that explains why Wonders are auto-wins, you win through nuclear supremacy.
Very well animated: what a work, even more than build them I guess here! Every tile got his own falling movement interacting with others!
Thanks man. But this is simulation, not animated. Still animation but not the same.
@@hoangphung1012 it is obvious. Well done programmation and 3d building! You did it?
Now imagine there was an Egyptian pyramid wonder. I N D E S T R U C T I B L E
Edit:
Damn it, suits me for writing coments before video is over.
And now we all know that ther are really just a shell, empty in the inside lol
@@dragovern How else would they store grains
They need to park their ufo's somewhere
Same with mesoamerican civs lol
3:38 I love how the light slowly fades out of the arch
the hell are we talking about?
The light inside the arch on the wonder gently fades out as it crumbles
oh ok
thx
3:32*
You've really got to give the animators credit, these animations are beautiful.
I think its call simulation, not animation. Thanks for your compliment
for some reason i find this the most satisfying video on the internet.
5:32 worlds laziest pyramid construction crew.
You get what you pay for.
@@scruffybones321 The people who built the pyramids were actually rather well paid, they were even entitled to some pretty good food, including daily bear rations.
@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine where in Egypt would they be able to find bears, let alone enough bears to give one to each worker every day as a ration?
And what were they supposed to do will all those bears? Where would they keep them? What would happen to all of their furniture?

@@scruffybones321 🤣
I love how you can see insides of new models.
That glimpse into the inside of the Viking Stave church just before it falls in on itself.
Chinese wonder collapsing was definitely my favorite! 01:02
Isn't that a Mongolian wonder though?

Should be this one
Historians: Internal screaming
Huns: External Cheering
These look incredible but I sort of wish the rubble didn't sink into the ground. I know I'm nit-picking but it kind of gets rid of the impact of a beautiful monument being turned to a pile of rubble since the rubble is disappearing right before your eyes. I would prefer if it stayed and just disappeared after like 30 seconds.
Also the physics engine butchered the tree physics at 1:59 lol
I get what you mean, but these buildings have to disappear fast so units don't look like they're digging under them lol
@@migueeeelet make it permanent impasable terrain, have it mean something
@@fernandotrevinocastro1018 Nah. Having nice aesthetics is great if it doesn't compromise gameplay. Having the rubble act as impassable terrain, even just for wonders, would be very inconvenient and annoying at best, and gamebreaking at worst. Imagine someone building a wonder blocking the only route to your town (such as in a chokepoint between two cliffs). Now no one would ever be able to pass that route and the game would be literally unwinnable. It's a very specific case, but I think it shows that this idea is not a good one.
@@fernandotrevinocastro1018 yeah make it impassable so that you can wall your base with wonders for easy victory. Totally not gamebreaking.
@@migueeeelet True that lol, but it is a definitive edition, why not do the same thing that happens with units crossing hilly terrain which would make them walk on the surface of the rubble, regardless while that is a valid problem I think I would still prefer rubble not disappearing. It's not like people usually order their units to walk on buildings destroyed 5 seconds ago. I think it's more about priorities.
Also having the wonder's rubble be impassable for only a small amount of time (like say 10 seconds) could work. It's kind of immersion breaking when a unit walks straight through a giant collapsed or collapsing wonder as if nothing was even there.
"Hey guys, Spirit Of The Law here ..." I always like to listen to your soothing voice, Spirit. The way you just explain everything calmly, not overacting, but always with a funny joke on your lips. I learned so much from this video. I think i will put this on every night i go to bed, just to have your voice in the background, being able to fall asleep more easily. Keep up the quality educational content, Spirit, luv ya
5:53 "Lets destroy this enemy civilisations Wonder and dont forget about cutting down the trees too!"
That was so satisfying to watch, but also interesting since you can get a little glimpse inside the wonder before it turned into ruins.
Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have pulled out that Jenga block
These animations are sick. Love the little details like the stained glass shattering at 0:55
"the best part was when the buildings fell down"
This is the quote I was looking for

Atta boy Spirit! Making the video I truly wanted to see. It's so beautiful.

This is one of the most satisfying videos I have ever seen. The music selection was perfect.

I like how every material in every building breaks and collapses like you would expect it to. The glass shards dont crumble, they shatter. The wood snaps and topples. Beautiful work by the animation team.

The wonder, the wonder, the... nooooo!
Definitely one of the funniest taunts.
Ever since I first saw the new collapse animation on a castle I've wanted a video like this. Its is the most satisfying thing ever.
Love that the destruction goes according to the specific material and structure of the wonder
Hey Spirit of The Law, thanks for linking my video! I really appreciate it. Also, I really love your videos. I found your channel about 3 years ago and have loved watching everything since.
Troybuchets can't melt stone beams. This was a wololo job.
Why are watching these wonderful building collapsing can be so satisfying ?
1:51 That wonder looks like it had collapsed already.
can we just appreciate this INSANE graphic quality? That looks satisfying as hell (though we might not want that to be our wonder XD)
4:31
Lol, Hagia Sophia's dome is perfectly fine
That is not Hagia Sophia, that's a different turkish mosque
I never knew I needed this in my life but I'm glad it exist.
When "the huns" Wonder is destroyed: 1:43
Commander: did you remove all the Gold first?
Soldiers: 😅😅😅😂😅😅😅😅
They put so much effort to this. We can see bildings even from inside and different materials - for mongol's wonder its not only rocks, but also silk.
They look beautifull and I love how the dififrent materials react.
But they sometimes feel too hollow, and I don't like that they sink into the ground a little.
Kudos to whoever did the building collapse animations, they're amazing and must have taken a tonne of work
It's like a cross between Jenga, Dominoes, and LEGO.
That tiny moment RIGHT before the collapse begins. Like the feeling before a good sneeze.
We should all feel bad about watching these marvels crumble...but oh my it feels good to watch this. I smiled like an idiot through the whole video. Thank you for making this with such relaxing music. Absolutely perfect.

Not only is it amazingly satisfying to watch these wonders crumble, but this video shows the amazingly diverse architectural heritage of human culture. Well done, Ensemble Studios!
I actually got a little sad seeing the Haggia Sophia go down...
the amount of detail in these is astonishing
How was it actually simulated? With Houdini? Looks really good, you even see they defined diferent materials (wood, stone, fabric, plants...). Really cool stuff!
This is some amazing attention to detail. The devs didn’t have to do this, but instead made collapsing animations for every single building
You should call this video " try not to be satisfied "
this is the quality content that we subscribed for!
Now do the same with HD Edition :P
Countless hopes, ideas made manifest and artistic feeling pushed beyond limit... all shattered in mere few minutes. Hell, this could almost be an intro for most PvP servers in survival games
"Gone, reduced to atoms" in a nutshell
What is this feeling? the crumbling down building, why do I feel so satisfied watching that?
Me, I'm just envisioning scenarios where I stand at the entrance of every wonder, and gauge how safe I'd be past the onset of destruction. :3
(Most of the times I'd be buried alive, but hey. x3)
I find it neat that they modeled so many different materials for this. there is brick, stone, marble, cloth, wood, and they all are falling and breaking in different ways.
1:01 is the most satisfying one imo. The rest just looks like when you magically remove the bones from a human. It feels like the bottom half of the buildings disappear and it just comes crashing down. Like physics stop working except for gravity and the weak force. I get a weird feeling when everything just collapses at the same time, like when you eat döner from a different shop than your usual one and they play the Cats trailer on repeat. Robert Downey Sr. It looks good but why are they releasing Age of Empires 4 right after the AoE2DE? It looks good but the pixellated simplicity of old games makes it easier to understand whats happening on the battlefield, like in C&C generals. Everything after that is just too clusterfucky, too much detail and you cant see whats happening in an instant. What lessons were learned to make it viable? They said the world wasnt waiting for a statergy game, but for a new starcraft. But blizzard abandoned esports and hong kong, are they trying to step into the empty space? Fuck
The animations are actually pretty amazing if you consider that the game is almost 20 years old.
