In this video we face off against the new Extreme AI in Aoe3 DE.

Playing as any colour other than red as the British is a capital offence

That single house left incomplete for 10 minutes is so annoying

[FFFFFFF-FFFFFFFUUUUCCCC]

English spoken by the Brits in this game reminds me how different the language was during Elizabethan times.

[justhair]

Dude here making extreme look easy, while I struggle to defeat even the hard one :)

[mohithalder]

T-west:- uploads pacifist runs, and mourns even single deaths in campaigns
Also T-west:- Let's do cannons 'cause cannons are bloody fun eh?!

[suffer]

Can't wait to play this next week.

Looks like Gustavus just got a slice of humble pie.

I really loved the AOE3 campaigns, they have a good connection and story (John, Nathaniel and Chayton Black are nice, and also Japanese and Indian ones). But for some reason, I always found the skirmish games too repetitive.

But I pre-ordered anyway because I am looking forward to give it a try!

T-West: Extreme AI is eazy
Me: Gets his ass beaten by normal AI

[edbartlett]

Never really got in to AOE2 but I love AOE3 and have been enjoying all your content, so this is a massive win win for me!

[RG]

15:22 well that wasn't very pacifist.

[flxdrv]

ngl, even through youtube compresion at 1080p the new game assests and models look really good, and the shaders more realistc, can't wait to try it out!
really hope there is a good 21/9 support :p

[Jixxor]

I got the feeling this AI would lose to AOE2DE medium AI.

I'd like to see you playing 0 A.D. It's a free, open source RTS that started 20 years ago as an AoE 2 mod, but developed into it's own game with it's own engine. The time period is roughly around AoE 1 but it plays a lot more like AoE 3. Great game.

[osprey]

I feel like AoE2 players will find AoE3 'extreme'ly easy. I love both games and I actually started off playing AoE3. It took me a long time to learn AoE2 but I realized that had automatically made me a much much better AoE3 player. Imo the key is to never keep the TC idle!

5:40 so when the enemy rushes you, with say 10 pikes or something, he cannot just siege your barracks for free, but you can use your towncenter fire to protect your barracks.

[RiceMonger]

btw, xp early is always worth it, since it brings you faster to your first (or second) shipment compared to your enemy. If you send your 3 vills 10 seconds earlier than your opponent it makes quite a difference. Usually games are won by getting ahead of your opponent little by little.
However if the choice is between wood and xp, wood is probably preferable. Generally its wood>food>xp>all other
however it actually really depends on the situation, russians for example would prefer food over the all others, sometimes 50 coin can also be quite strong, or lamas/cows when you are india... and so on

I remember when AoE3 came out. I was in university, tried a bit of it, but didn't have time to really get into it. I remember back then how the new 3D graphics for RTS were the new thing but it was honestly pretty bad. Colonial Period is my favorite historical age so I was disappointed back then.
I think I'll be getting AoE3 DE within a couple weeks of release - after watching review videos like this of course :)
