Age of Empires II - Forgotten Empires HD Collection (Mod)
With a total development time of over 15 years possibly the best real-time strategy game of all times provided as an unofficial update for the original Gold Edition meanwhile featuring 28 playable medieval civilizations spread around the globe, 20 historical campaigns with over 100 scenarios, amazing graphics design at minimum hardware requirements, exemplary beginner friendliness, map and scenario editor, a variety of game modes, random maps, sophisticated AIs, HD features and many other ensuring endless gaming fun against the computer, online or via LAN.
Language:
It all started with the development of the UserPatch in 2013 A.D. Members of the ever since very active and large AoE2 community worked out an update for the last official expansion The Conquerors of 2000. The objective was to fix several long existing issues with the game and extend it by quite a few new and useful features partially inspired by more recent real-time strategy games.
Simoultaneously, hobby coders started writing on extensive AI scripts outclassing everything there was before not least because of game experience and development times of several years. Even an own AI league was initiated to compare the individual strengths of these computer players and to learn from one another. Finally, the files were made available for download and shared within their forums for free.
Also due to the high quality and the amazing surplus in value of the work, that stunning amount of individual initiative inspired us too being aficionados of the series for many years to assemble a collective update that was originally meant for internal purposes above all.
The package grew steadily until even an unofficial second expansion called Forgotten Empires was released. At that time, the collection was already way too precious to not offer it as a download at least and several thousand downloads later our intention was approved.
The thing that made this game so outstanding we see in its great, fluent and intuitive gameplay that allows players at every skill level to enjoy, spiced up with campaigns telling philosophically, historically and narratively great stories, letting the player interactively take part in the scene. One learns to build up things, to maintain them, create strategies and find solutions, optimize and deal with excessive demand, discover the beauty of nature and different cultures as well as finally even write and create his own dramas and landscapes using the scenario editor.
Back to our plot, the release of Age of Empires II HD was eventually announced. Back then, we were looking forward to it thinking our work would be done now. Contrary to our expectations, the remake deceived us though in many aspects corresponding to the reviews of the game magazines. Due to numorous new restrictions and cutbacks, the exchange of tried and trusted with neotrash, the noticeable commercialization, poor quality of implementation paired with an annoyingly high patching frequency, unnecessarily high hardware appetite especially concerning laptops, the "reselling" of already free available community content, the abandoning of the free mod version right up to the loss of the game's original spirit, we decided to continue our collection basing on the UserPatch as an independent alternative and to complete it with the good novelties and ideas from the remake that certainely existed.
That's when we really got into modding the whole game mainly powered by two freeware tools called Advanced Genie Editor and Turtle Pack, each developped by some other great community mates. Our omnipresent vision was to create one of these beloved old school true quality long-awaited and long-lasting products that Age of Empires embodied perfectly in contrast to the quantity-, sales- and ad-focused products of these days. It turned out to be a real challenge: we ran into trouble daily, corrected newfound bugs, translated out of a sudden into languages we haven't been speaking before, invested quite a lot of time in a modular setup, searched for ideas and solutions on how to implement all new features in the old, relatively limited engine, at times severly doubting and struggling to keep up the faith. On the other hand, this "old engine" was exactly what preserved us from changing too much and stick to the game's original distinctive character.
Over three years of work later (two years even full-time) we finally managed to get our project publishable and we're happy to be able to present our Forgotten Empires HD Collection to all exisiting and future fans of this truly epic game. We would like to thank all the countless people that contributed with their own projects either directly or indirectly to this milestone and wish you all the fun with it we had developing and will have playing it!
