Just... Thank you for making that amazing diorama, and for the creator to one of the RTS games that was the best part of my childhood! Battle Realms pushed me to try other RTS, thanks for creating that incredible and amazing piece of nostalgia and art! You are awesome!
If I had one wish, it would be that one day there will be enough funding for a proper remake. With four campaigns tailored to each clan, maybe even some new resources like wood and stone for the buildings, something like that. The feeling I got from this game was unlike any other, and it was what brought me from gameboy to PC back then. Congratulations on your work, it looks amazing!
I’m not usually a fan of RTS games, but seeing the passion that went into this project is truly inspiring! The dedication and attention to detail in recreating Battle Realms in diorama form is incredible. Massive respect to the creator of the game and to you for bringing it to life in such a unique way. You’ve managed to capture the spirit of the game so beautifully that even someone like me, who isn’t familiar with RTS, can appreciate the love and effort that went into this. Amazing work!
As a kid, I remember the Lotus faction REALLY getting my imagination getting into gear. I thought it was so cool how you had this corrupted faction worshipping something so wholesome as a tree, and how that really puts the whole imagery on its head, and how the different parts of the tree translated to different weapons and styles. I think I tried working that into a homebrew setting I worked at the time, but I never quite managed to make it work out, without simply copying, lol.
Omg I can't believe the dev himself who created Battle Realms was still here to this day! And the fact he also planning to make a Battle Realms as Mobile Game in the future, I cannot wait for him to release it officially, this will brings our childhood memories unlock! And also hoping for Lotus Lair story mode to be finish, that project hasn't done yet for many decades now. ♥️
It is so evident from the way Ed speaks that he is a genuinely good person. I have purchased a copy of his game on Steam (at full price!), which is something i virtually never do, because i want to show my support, and to replay one of the RTS greats!
Seriously, this game can easily be a movie Trilogy! -And if Ubisoft wants to redeem themselves they need to pick up BR story where it ended and create a newone from thereafter! God I just love the Battle Realms lore.
I still play it up to this day, ever since I got to play this during my Elementary Grade 4 days. Thank you for still updating the game after all these years. I believe in this labor of love project.
This video was great! So much heart and love! Battle realms was such a huge part of my childhood! ... One caveat though... Clan Snake and ronins were the coolest faction! 🐍🐍🐍🐍
Absolutely fantastic work! But also it's so cool to have Ed with you in the video as well. Ed, if you're reading and watching this, you've made a timeless game that's impacted so many of us. Battle Realms is how I bonded with my brother back in the day, and it led to our love for RTS. Thank you for your amazing game!
Ah memories. thanks for reminding me there once a time where everything is simple and nice. I love this game and often argue with my sibling for taking turn playing. I was the Lotus faction main
I have seen the video on patreon and i hope this comment reaches sir ed hi sir ed, dunno ifi you rember me but we talked a lot before during the time you made youtube vids. I have played this game when i was still a kid around the year 2001 and I was 9 by that time. And what is amazing is that this game is played even after 23 years, and a sequel is requested even after 23 years. That is how amazing this is. I am sad that the kickstarter for the card game that was supposed to fund the sequel did not get funded, but maybe if it is kickstarter for the sequel it might have gotten funded, especially given that even after 23 years, the game still have fans.. but zen edition and the idea on the zen edition is also great. Growing game, updated through time. a literal living legend. your game have been succesful and remain in the hearts of players for 23 years and going. i hope this encourages you to continue making this trend breaking games whichh even now is never replicated,
This was so cool to watch! great editing and such a blast from the past. Great to hear from Ed as well during this build! was super wholesome feeling and interesting to hear his perspective on things.
i've never heard of battle realms before so thank you for introducing me to it, and thank you for your videos - i have no idea how a man can be simultaneously and consistently this good at modeling, painting, editing, voiceover, and also have incredible taste in games
Wunderschön, danke für dieses super Video! Habe Battle Realms als Kind dank der Computer Bild Spiele entdeckt und obwohl ich viel weniger gecheckt habe als das Spiel hergibt, habe ich es geliebt und jeden Tag stundenlang gespielt. Da ich die CD verloren habe und es inzwischen auf Steam gibt, habe ich das Spiel quasi 3x gekauft :D Ich finde es auch immer noch ein wahnsinnig tolles Spiel. Das gesamte Design hat mich damals schon fasziniert und ich glaube das wird es auch für den Rest meines Lebens.
Ich habe das Spiel damals als Kind durch eine Spielesammlung entdeckt! Die hieß Gold Games 6 und hatte 15 Spiele dabei, unter anderem Gothic 1, Battle Realms, die Siedler IV, Evil Twin, und Grandia II. Ich kann dir gar nicht erzählen, wie mich diese Sammlung geprägt hat :D Vielen Dank für dein unfassbar schönes Kommentar =)
When this game came out, it absolutely blew my mind. It was the coolest RTS game I had ever seen. 23 years later I finally have a gaming setup again, so I bought Battle Realms. I'm so pumped to see that there's been some activity related to it RIGHT when I am ready to play it again. Just started Kenji's Journey today, and I remember all the reasons I loved it so much. Thank you for this!
Bought the game the day it introduces in Steam. I felt that amazing nostalgia within me right away. I am not sure what is his stance on it now but I am also a huge fan of War of the Ring. Both of them shaped my understanding of fantasy RTS games. So, thanks for having him because I appreciate him to see that he is passionate about his creation no matter when. That is something we dont have much nowadays. I can easily tell that he is so proud of it and he should be. And thanks MiniQuest for the great diorama and the tribute he made for such treasure.
Insane production quality of both the diorama and this video + how cool that Ed Del Castillo is also a part of it! Battle Realms was always one of my favorite games, I liked it much more than Warcraft or AoE. I still remember buying it (had to take the bus to go to the next city) and then reading the beautifully crafted manual on my ride home. The attention to detail was (and still is) just insane. Great times. If Ed reads this: Was Populous 3: The Beginning also an influence? That is also a game I adored.
Truly another impressive build with incredible detail. It's always fun hearing and seeing the reaction of the creator who inspired other such creative works. Gotta agree with Castillo, you are such a master craftsman. Seriously inspiring.
Beautiful diorama of one of my all time favorite games. I played the hell out of Battle Realms back in the day and loved it so much that even my online name is based off two of the characters. I'm sad that it never really got the recognition that i felt it deserved and is wrongly remembered by many as just another warcraft 3 clone even though it came out before it.
...battle realms 2 with some gameplay additions and maybe more units, even deeper eco would be so good, even if there isnt more units and eco, just better graphics and some reworks on ui, hud and bit of gameplay and it would be great again love this diorama, turned out amazing, even if the character dont match the size, i still love it :D
Wahnsinnig gutes Video! Du machst echt mit den besten Content 🙌🏻 In jedem Schnitt und jeder Szene sieht man, wie viel Liebe du in deine Projekte steckst. Danke für deine inspirierende Art! 💪🏻 freu mich auf alles was noch so von dir kommt 😊
This is far an away the coolest diorama I have ever seen. Though I may be biased, since I absolutely adore Battle Realms. It is just such a great game! It was great getting to hear from Ed Del Castillo as well. Until recently, I didn't realize the breadth of work that dude had done. He worked on essentially every single one of my top games! I found your channel while perusing the Battle Realms Zen Edition news on Steam. I saw the tease and I don't know how I missed the release of your video, but I just got around to watching it. My goodness, you are very good at this!
Thank you for this awesome diorama! This is the perfect piece to show love to the game! Battle Realms is one of the best games I've ever played and I'm also happy to see and hear some stuff from Mr. Ed Castillo! This truly relived all the tough skirmishes I had as a wee middle schooler lad against Highschoolers back when Net Cafes existed! I hope you make a diorama of each faction next
Man Ed is the best. never knew such a great guy is responsible for this great game, but it makes sense now. Battle Realms is a milestone in gaming and a pillar of what good games can be like. Remember this was created when the gaming landscape was way different. When games like these were known as "Killer Games" and made kids into mass murderes (according to the news) Big props and thanks. i love this game and the build really inspires me as a wargamer to push myself further thanks so much
Bro I love battle realms, even now I still have it. Vanilla or modded man! Love that game ❤ im hoping we get a remastered or new battlerealms game Edit: im 36 yrs old and still playing the game 😁
According to the tutorial, when a Peasant enters the Bath House and takes over the work of the Geisha who was originally working there, the Geisha who is freed from her work will come out of the Bath House to support the unit.
When we were working on Warcraft III, it was playing Battle Realms which inspired us to have artist Dave Bergeren rework the ground textures to have a more 3D effect. We did not, however, re-evaluate the entirety of the game, and heroes were absolutely a part of Warcraft III LONG before we played Battle Realms.

"we have no more rice" was a line comparable to "wood needed"
Battle Realms is such a sick game
If I had one wish, it would be that one day there will be enough funding for a proper remake. With four campaigns tailored to each clan, maybe even some new resources like wood and stone for the buildings, something like that. The feeling I got from this game was unlike any other, and it was what brought me from gameboy to PC back then.
Congratulations on your work, it looks amazing!
Battle realms is just the nostalgia I've been missing my whole life.
Thank you for bringing back memories.
Thanks for watching my friend :)

8:34 "Moving!"
"It shall be"
"Focused and Steady!"
"I follow the dragon!"

BATTLE REALMS PLAYERS ARE THE TRUE OG, MORE OG THEN THE OTHERS PLAYING OLD GAMES
Even after more than 20 years I am still playing it. Stronghold and Sudden Strike as well, just love these games.
Oh man Stronghold :D What a gem!

Love the diorama, love the RTS ❤
Never heard of this game but that level of detail sounds incredible.
It is so evident from the way Ed speaks that he is a genuinely good person.
I have purchased a copy of his game on Steam (at full price!), which is something i virtually never do, because i want to show my support, and to replay one of the RTS greats!
This felt like a quick turnaround!
Nothing better than knowing a video is waiting for you after work.
Brew made, feet up, let the games begin!!
Thanks for tuning in bud =)
Seriously, this game can easily be a movie Trilogy! -And if Ubisoft wants to redeem themselves they need to pick up BR story where it ended and create a newone from thereafter! God I just love the Battle Realms lore.
Love Battle Realms! Glad it's making a comeback!
That is sick! best time in my life and childhood memories here. Thank you, Ed!
Thank you for watching =)
This is so awesome! The creator of Battle Realms collab! This is very nostalgic! Thank you for this!
Working with Ed was absolutely amazing, glad you like it =)
@@MiniQuest64 Thank you for being awesome!
"My lord, there's no more water..."
Congratulations and thank you! One of my childhood games, I still play it today.
Thanks for watching mate =)
Man, that was amazing work! Very nostalgic, this is part of my childhood, the very first pc game I ever played🥰
Thanks a lot! I feel the same way =)
I still play it up to this day, ever since I got to play this during my Elementary Grade 4 days. Thank you for still updating the game after all these years. I believe in this labor of love project.
This video was great! So much heart and love! Battle realms was such a huge part of my childhood! ... One caveat though... Clan Snake and ronins were the coolest faction! 🐍🐍🐍🐍

I did not play the game but I always love seeing your builds and great collab with the creator!
That means a lot bud, thanks for sticking around =)

I love the detailing. I used to play Battle Realms ❤❤❤
Nostalgia
How have I never heard of Battle Realms before? I've played games since Warcraft II / Starcraft / C&C, but somehow completely missed this one.
Me too 😔
He's also the creator of Command & Conquer game, and others
When this game came out, it absolutely blew my mind. It was the coolest RTS game I had ever seen. 23 years later I finally have a gaming setup again, so I bought Battle Realms. I'm so pumped to see that there's been some activity related to it RIGHT when I am ready to play it again. Just started Kenji's Journey today, and I remember all the reasons I loved it so much.

Thank you for all the praise! This was the highlight of this UA-cam channel for sure =)
Damn! That's awesome man! Still playing ZenEdition till now btw. 💖
Hell yeah brother! =)
Adding the sound effects for each of the buildings is just *chefs kiss*!
The community manager Komi provided me all the footage for that, absolutely amazing chad :D
nice, this absolutely beautiful
How I missed thid game! I loved it since I was little.
So beautiful to watch and Intresting to listen
You are very talented! I hope Battle Realms flourishes once again. It's never too late for an another one!
Thank you for this :)
Love the video bud :) also inviting one of the creators in your video is perfect ! :)

Thank you very much! You have no idea how happy I was when Ed told me he would love to participate :D
have it on steam,been playing it since i was a kid and 35 now and still jamming battle realms
A good game never gets old!
Thank you for putting something beautiful out in the world, Sergei! You have something special to share and your videos always brighten my day
Thank you for your support through all this time man =)
Super Cool, hat mich direkt an meine Kindheit erinnert.
Freut mich sehr =)
Love this game.
Battle Realms, still my favorite RTS game. This is amazing.
I hope there will be new contents, maybe the Lotus lore
I have a public video on my patreon page, where Ed is talking a lot about the future and Lotus lore =)
Truly another impressive build with incredible detail.
It's always fun hearing and seeing the reaction of the creator who inspired other such creative works.
Gotta agree with Castillo, you are such a master craftsman. Seriously inspiring.
Damn Wolfy! Thanks a lot for these kind words

So true, man! I never finished it as a kid, despite all the hours I put into that game :D It was soooo hard!
Bought the game and I'm really enjoying it.
Thank you for the great drama and the great game recommendation!
Was an absolute pleasure =)
Wowww, AMAZING!!!!
Hoping for new campaign of Battle Realms
Im excited to play Battle Realms again, Oh my gosh!
That's the spirit!! :D

I played battle realms since i was a child.
A dream come true for me in 2019 when the games comes out again on steam ❤

Hey Ed...serpent path's Serpentholm II is too difficult! 🤣
I learned how play moba and rts games such as red alert 2, warcraft/dota and lol because battle realms was my first game.
Just finished a campaign game before I watched this. Lotus foreva
Me and my older brother played battle realms for hours
I still follow the Dragon....
I never heard of battle realms before!
If you like RTS games, I can highly recommend it =)
@@MiniQuest64 OOOO yeah ill do it!!!
Battle realms is the reason why i played rts games. Wish we can have that game on mobile.
Very cool!
my childhood RTS !
I follow the dragon!
I still have og big boxes for og and winter of the wolf on my shelf :D
Me too bro =)
i still PLay Battle Realms .. Great game
Bro I love battle realms, even now I still have it. Vanilla or modded man! Love that game ❤ im hoping we get a remastered or new battlerealms game
Edit: im 36 yrs old and still playing the game 😁
That's the spirit! Maybe some day =)
would buy that
This one belongs to Ed!
Personally would've put the well closer to the rice and hut for max efficiency 😉
I never said I was a good player :D
i love it... i also make drawings of Battle Realms,
for the Wolf
Uhh where can we have a look at them?
kenji
best game
i want one of these, too! 😭😭😭
Great job! But we still don’t know how peasants become geisha after entering the bathhouse
According to the tutorial, when a Peasant enters the Bath House and takes over the work of the Geisha who was originally working there, the Geisha who is freed from her work will come out of the Bath House to support the unit.
When you point a peasant to the bathhouse
It say ‘’trade a peasant for a geisha’’
So it just trade one peasant for one geisha and nothing else
Man, I wish you would have posted this in the sneak peek for Ed to answer :D
Oh gosh, BATTLE REALMS is still alive until today
For, more than 20 years,
Still holds up today =)
When we were working on Warcraft III, it was playing Battle Realms which inspired us to have artist Dave Bergeren rework the ground textures to have a more 3D effect. We did not, however, re-evaluate the entirety of the game, and heroes were absolutely a part of Warcraft III LONG before we played Battle Realms. In fact, the game was far more oriented towards heroes before Battle Realms came out, but the transition to reduce the emphasis on heroes from the center point to move more towards RTS had nothing to do with Battle Realms. It was just the puffy paint texture. :)
Thanks for the input, Dave! Awesome to have you here! =)
I am the root!
Ich bin sehr stolz auf dich ❤
Danke mein lieber :)
