As eccentric as Rippy's naming conventions may be, you've got to hand it to him - AoE2's OST is one of the most memorable and "hummable" in all of gaming.
It's awesome how they ordered these songs to be appropriate to every stage of the game, starting on the loneliness of Dark Age, to intensive battles further on.
Aoe2 was my first video game, and I remember the soundtrack was the main reason I fell in love with this game. I started playing when i was 4 years old and 11 years later I am still playing it, and still enjoying it now. When I am playing new games like battlefield 4 with its steroid filled gameplay it still is not as fun as Age of empires. Honestly I might still be playing Aoe2 when I am 80.
Did any of you use to play online on Voobly? It's the best AOE gaming community. While gaming on Voobly is really an amazing experience but I must warn you that it is also highly addictive as well. So if you not self-disciplined, then must not try to play on Voobly. =)
@@NickSalvation I respectfully disagree. I don't feel the remastered ost is a good replacement to be fair, but it's still relatively faithful in the arrangements. The instrumentation is a bit off, but that's to be expected from adapting decades old midis. I like the new ost as a side companion piece to the original AoE2 ost
music of the middle ages and the rennaissance is amazing! Music doesn't progressively become superior to music of the past, styles just change. Amazing soundtrack to!
Wow... this brings back incredible memories... of epic campaigns, intense battles , grand castles, and more. Congratulations, AOE2; for being the definition of an amazing RTS. BTW, the soundtrack is awesome.
AoE 3 has nothing at all on this game. On 3 it's just beat each other into the ground again and again and again. On AoE 2 you can do that, but you can also collect Relics, build wonders etc. Just makes for a much fuller gaming experience and I love it! Who cares about graphics? Gameplay still holds up for me!
AoC3 felt like a "quantity" game. The wars where supposed to feel bigger, and the age setting couldn't keep the same mechanics. It's a good game after all.
cuando empieza esta cancion, es una mezcla de emociones, por que ya tenes que estar en castillos, ya el enemigo esta atacando, tu compa pidiendo ayuda y tu bailando este cumbion
Fear not friends, "As of 2013, an active online community of players still exists playing the game with the Age of Conquerors add-on. As well as an organised ranking system, there are regular tournaments with cash prizes." After almost 14 years, we are still going!
As of 2024 the series as a whole is absolutely thriving with every game having been remastered and officially supported with new content added regularly there was a new 4th game released and as of this age of mythology retold is soon to be released... AoE has endured and stood the test of time in a way few other games could.
When both you and your opponent in a 1v1 is in at least castle age, rocking Knights or Xbows or whatever your military comp is, both forces about to meet on the field of battle.
@demoBLASTed agreed...somehow i get tears in my eyes if i think about the whole time i spend with recruiting my army and conquer the maps and the sweet taste of victory when my enemy gives up...yes, i feel like no game ever can bring me that feeling back! AoEII = Best RTS game ever been created!
such an amazing soundtrack reminds me of my childhood and i see many other people too no wonder haha great game i started playing again recently DE its a bit different but still great game :D
This was the game I played with my dad, this was the game that my dad is a pro in, I tried defeating him in it, it is impossible but we have fun everytime
Best song in the game!
You right, is a little hard to play IT, I am trying with my guitar but not yet, this is special for a beginner jajaja
I believe that title belongs to T Station

There are no words to describe what feelings you have when you hear this track. It's unbelievable!
Have you heard the remixed version, it sends chills down your spine :O
Kaotic Phoenix no not yet thanks
+Kaotic Phoenix what's the name of the remix?
+WarBacca 101 It's called The Tazer by Vitalis Eirich
cool. thanks
*Richard the Lionhearted has advanced to the Castle Age!*
How could he? It's only 7 in the morning Mom!
Wait, did they have cheat codes back then?
Vikas Dhyani in the original version, the AI did cheat
I should report him.
*looks at the top of the screen to see the words "Feudal Age" and panics
Leq Lannister lol
Hands down the best track in the game. And that's no small achievement.
epic drum solo is what makes it for me
Close contestant with T Station.
bass bag to me
I love it !
I was 4 years old when my Dad bought this game in 1999. Even after almost 20 years I still play it, some songs you just never forget.
Did you watch the Redbull Wololo Tournament?
Same lol dad picked this up for me at a garage sale in 2001. Life changed instantly
Same Dad got me this in 2000 when I was in high school. Life changing
Thanks to all our Daddy to show us a great game and give memories for life
That One Time when you see your age 'Feudal Age'
and you panic because Your Opponet already went to Imperial
booming in a nutshell
Good memories :")
2:13 really makes my hairs stand on end. that's a real medieval sounding part.
Finally, someone with taste
@@jean-edouardahmedozzi6120 thank you squire 🙂 happy new year to you..... if such a thing still exists.

You've clearly never met Hiroyuki Sawano (in regards to naming)

This is my favorite song in AOE2
Old games have the best soundtracks
so true
True
Old than fortnite players : p
whenever this started playing i used to pause whatever william wallace mission i was cheesing and listen to it
What a beautiful melody!
e mesmo
Amazing 👸🙌

+tomgretzky I agree with you :D

+Vikas Dhyani I play mostly on steam but I used too play on voobly
I agree, AoE 2 is awesome, AoE 3 isn't nearly as good.
Este temas siempre cuando empezas a crear unidades a lo loco y en unos minutos tiras toda la carne al asador. Es genial.
Dame 1000 unidades de madera 1000 de oro mil 1000 de alimento y 1000 de oro.
Haz como te digo y me uniré a tu lado
@@deadlyravefgc será una guerra a cuchillo
That little part from 2:13 till 2:30 so beautiful
Pure medieval
this song has a cool name,style,and sound to it this is why it's my fave
This is probably one of my favorites in AOE2
Ah, the sweed sound of your base being swarmed by knights.
OH GOD THE NOSTALGIA this was by far one of the most memorable songs in the game imo. Love that we're getting a remaster
Tyler Van Cleve the remastered version is disappointing when it comes to its soundtrack. It’s been changed so it doesn’t have the same feeling anymore

There will never be a medieval game quite as good as this masterpiece
0:50 has a runescape vibe to it
i was just looking a commentary like that, thanks
classic rs tune
*older
It's just medieval inspired music ffs
I love both AOE and Runescape and I think it's touches like this that draws me to them :')
The most dramatic AoE Song for me
TIL BARDAGA! (Vikings)
Hypotenuse Triangle SANTIAGO! ( ? )
Allez battile!
ANTILAHI
A L'attaque
tempted to make some gameplay videos of this great game
i swear this has to be one of the most nostalgic game tunes to 90's kids on this planet.
classic tune from a classic RTS. Im glad i got to play this classic game growing up.
Microsoft: "Just a medieval strategy game, don't need to go hard"
Ensemble Studios: ok
"Saladdin! Where are you going? Turn back now!"
It's just amazing. This song is the most beautiful of the complete CD
OMG FINALLY I GET MY HANDS ON THIS SONG! T_T this song has been playing in my head ever since I heard it while I was playing AoE2
Este es el mejor tema de Age of Empires II, gran canción, es un placer escucharla.
Age of Empires II, el mejor juego.
Wow amigo, 7 años de tu comentario
Ya son 8 años, probablemente este tipo ya tenga hijos y todo.
Ya hasta se está muriendo de coronavirus
One of the best games of history! Thank God we can still play it online on Game Ranger!
Nostalgia... I enjoyed all the time with this great game
this song screams comeback
2022. Still listening this...
good music
That ultra low bass at 2:14 tho
never noticed until now
AirPods Pro 2 helps 😂
I should listen to this song and play dark souls or skyrim imagine all the epic feelings 😃
the best song of age of empires, thanks man
I’m still continue to play. Even I m 30 soon. Nostalgic song
music of the middle ages and the rennaissance is amazing! Music doesn't progressively become superior to music of the past, styles just change. Amazing soundtrack to!
This is easily my favourite song. It's what I imagined my monks humming. It is so catchy.
Even the Music that was composed to this Masterpiece, was a Masterpiece
Its so beautiful *starts crying*
Steam :)
Thanks a lot Stephen Rippy for this, In a Pile of it's own Good and Eat ur own potatoes. I just love them all. Grateful to you forever!!
//cries It makes me feel so sad!
+Vasiliki Divani true :/

nostalgia is a helluva drug

Aoe 2 will always be the best.
Loved the "Back-Then" graphics.
AoC3 felt like a "quantity" game. The wars where supposed to feel bigger, and the age setting couldn't keep the same mechanics. It's a good game after all.
0:30 all my pavise crosbowmen and condottieri charging my friends' base... so damn epic !
Best tune in this game! Always loved it when it came on
Memories.. I am 24 years old and I am not boring to play this game.. I played from 2000 when I was 5!
cuando empieza esta cancion, es una mezcla de emociones, por que ya tenes que estar en castillos, ya el enemigo esta atacando, tu compa pidiendo ayuda y tu bailando este cumbion
When you desperately try to find rebel monks in Kyoto before they achieve a victory by relics 😂
It's been what, 20 years now since this was released?
Still as amazing to year now as back then. ^_^
my heart , the nostalgia !
a blast to the past
Shivers down my spine

The best one is the game , I love this one and brings back the old memories. Nostalgic
plucking the strings make it sound amazing

This is the best of this game
I get a runescape vibe from this
this represents my childhood

Mi favorita ... la mejor de todas

so nostalgic, as is say, the music makes the game/movie good!

AOE2 HD have music, the pirate AOE2 haven't
***** Not just the HD version. The original and old one has as well.
With the release of the Forgotten Empires Mod for AoC you can put your own music in a playlist.

This bangs soo hard
The best soundtrack of AoE2.

I LOVE THIS MUSIC
When you send your huge army of knights out to defend your besieged city
Nostalgia!!!!!!
So much nostalgia!
Ahh yes the greatest mideval weapon of all, *the tazer*

My most favorite song in the game that’s how you know things are about to get real
0:48-1:05 made me thinking of trade carts doing business on it’s route
This is beautiful
This... is... going to my iPod!
iPod was such a great and modern thing back then :D
I start attacking when this song comes on. I don't attack until this moment
A melhor com toda a certeza
This was the game I played with my dad, this was the game that my dad is a pro in, I tried defeating him in it, it is impossible but we have fun everytime
Happy 13th Birthday, Age of Empires 2!
Soundtrack of my childhood
