First Person AoE2 in 2024

Decided to hop into some “First Person AoE2” and see what it’s looking like in 2024. Still a bit buggy, but a lot of fun!

I would really like to thank Tristan for playing this once more and showing it to the community. 💯

Unfortunately I stopped developing this game in late 2022, everything since then were only some bugfixes and little changes to keep it playable and compatible with the fast-evolving Aoe2 DE.
I am amazed that until today there are still people who find and try this. On average, 2-3 games are played per day, which is very nice for a standalone-mod that launched 5 years ago. Thank you all who played it, I really appreciate this.

"It's a pretty intense fight out there, and like any true king, I'm not partaking in it" lmao that sent me

This looks fun, would be really cool if there was a bird eye 3rd person view of aoe2

[tike]

The graphics are PERFECT, this seriously looks like it could've launched alongside the actual version as a fun minigame mode. just a little more work on the gameplay side and this is a seriously fantastic mod

A cool addition to this could be that once you have a castle you could go inside and kind of get a "Sauron eye" vision from the castle. Allowing you to get a small area of birds eye view to help with micro/macro management.

we need a mod that replaces the hammer animation for building with an air pump

The 2D unit sprites looks surprisingly good in first person, especially while on horseback.
Also, black sesame flavor!

What a legend 🤣

This is sweet. Need multiple "leaders" though. You should be able to switch between king and general to control different army's on other side of map

I love how playing in first person made T90 feel more empathetic towards his vills’ and scouts’ lives.

Also an open base seen from inside in first person is super scary

If they make this into a real game with a lot of thought, it would be the only game anyone plays till eternity.

This is like a weird mix of Empire Earth and Daggerfall... and AoEII

[crimson_grog]

Man, Mount & Blade lookin' different

[DJSerpent]

this should be Co-op, for 2v2 in tourneys, 1 person in first person 1 playing in RTS/3rd person mode, and the 1st person player is the "hero" loool.

"If I just could get my villagers to work! This is so buggy!"
What would a version of Age of Empires be without Pathing problems and randomly idling villagers??

[daniellewolfe]

Imagine a polished official 1st person version of an aoe game i think it would be pretty fun

[mattstepahead]

Now i want this mod in AoE 4, insane!

00:29 God knows how many times I replayed this one😂

[Lmonsta]

Imagine this but using the 3d models the devs used to generate the sprites in aoe2

Favorite ice cream flavor is definitely chocolate chip cookie dough, and seeing those buildings go up we definitely need a re-skin on the castles so they look like big red inflatable bouncy castles.
