293s | <b>from the first mythology from all of that</b> |

313s | <b>But before we jump into the rest of the stream</b> |

345s | <b>Now</b> |
346s | <b>The very first thing we're going to do during stream</b> |
348s | <b>is acquaint ourselves with</b> |
349s | <b>Age of Empires mobile</b> |
350s | <b>And we're going to start off by</b> |
352s | <b>taking a look at this fantastic gameplay trailer</b> |
355s | <b>So get ready to have your minds blown</b> |
445s | <b>Okay,so there was a lot going on in</b> |
447s | <b>that trailer right there</b> |
448s | <b>And I mean to be honest</b> |
450s | <b>to be honest it looks like a totally new experience</b> |
452s | <b>compared to the Age of Empires that </b> |
455s | <b>I am more familiar with</b> |
457s | <b>And I might be mistaken</b> |
459s | <b>But that background music has seems shivers down my spine</b> |
464s | <b>It's actually very reminiscent of the original</b> |
467s | <b>Age of Empires theme</b> |
467s | <b>It looks like a modern rendition of it</b> |
470s | <b>okay cool</b> |
473s | <b>what about that video</b> |
474s | <b>I mean that the trailer stands out to you</b> |
475s | <b>what really makes it feel awesome to you</b> |
477s | <b>So there are a lot of different awesome things right</b> |
479s | <b>Like trailer is awesome</b> |
481s | <b>But really one of the things that we want to</b> |
484s | <b>think about this like this game Age of Empires Mobile</b> |
487s | <b>really introduce a lot of like</b> |
488s | <b>novel experience and different things</b> |
491s | <b>it really is a game</b> |
492s | <b>were rooted in Age of Empires</b> |
494s | <b>But really designed from the ground up </b> |
496s | <b>for the mobile players audience</b> |
498s | <b>This game is really for them and it is going to be</b> |
502s | <b>really wonderful for those</b> |
503s | <b>for people that love</b> |
504s | <b>gaming on mobile phone</b> |
506s | <b>Which is a very completely different piece</b> |
508s | <b>than like PC gaming like you said</b> |
510s | <b>But there are things that are of course</b> |
512s | <b>Like related to the Age of Empires franchise</b> |
514s | <b>So for example</b> |
516s | <b>one of the things I love about Age of Empires is </b> |
518s | <b>that it is rooted in historical</b> |
520s | <b>different multiple civilizations in the game</b> |
522s | <b>And of course</b> |
523s | <b>that it continues in Age of Empires mobile as well</b> |
526s | <b>the game is going to launch with 8 different civilizations</b> |
529s | <b>So I think some players in the</b> |
530s | <b>early version have seen that</b> |
531s | <b>we have the Roman Byzantines Chinese and French</b> |
535s | <b>In the global launch version</b> |
536s | <b>there will be four new ones which is the Japanese</b> |
539s | <b>Korean Egyptian and British</b> |
542s | <b>And like they are all based in different</b> |
544s | <b>basically different feel right</b> |
546s | <b>For example we are in a Roman set</b> |
547s | <b>yeah so</b> |
549s | <b>And they are the Roman version</b> |
550s | <b>We have like Roman theme music</b> |
552s | <b>All the buildings looks Roman</b> |
554s | <b>It just makes you a really immersive and feels great</b> |
557s | <b>as well as the</b> |
558s | <b>of course</b> |
558s | <b>The game is going to feature have its own take of the</b> |
561s | <b>iconic Wonders from the franchise</b> |
565s | <b>But is like a different take on it and</b> |
568s | <b>for the Roman ones</b> |
569s | <b>It will feature like the awesome like</b> |
571s | <b>Roman landmarks is going to be amazing</b> |
573s | <b>It's going to be fantastic</b> |
575s | <b>So I'm actually playing that early final test </b> |
578s | <b>Actually I just received it the other day</b> |
580s | <b>And I've been going through just a little bit</b> |
583s | <b>the first area</b> |
584s | <b>the tutorial and everything</b> |
586s | <b>And there was the four that I've got</b> |
588s | <b>I've only got access to the four but there's gonna be</b> |
590s | <b>eight on launch day</b> |
591s | <b>Yep going to be super cool</b> |
593s | <b>They look fantastic as well looks so cool</b> |
595s | <b>yeah yeah</b> |
596s | <b>Most of the heroes are designed based on</b> |
598s | <b>historical figures</b> |
601s | <b>And for the global launch version there will be like</b> |
606s | <b>more than 50 heroes from</b> |
609s | <b>20 civilizations for players to meet</b> |
612s | <b>There's more than 50 total</b> |
614s | <b>Yeah</b> |
614s | <b>That sounds absolutely awesome</b> |
617s | <b>You've got so much depth in there</b> |
618s | <b>And I actually heard</b> |
620s | <b>We have a special guest here</b> |
622s | <b>in the studio with us today</b> |
625s | <b>JUSTINIAN THE GREAT</b> |
627s | <b>WOW</b> |
628s | <b>You can see the detailed craftsmanship in his design</b> |
632s | <b>From the prints on his clothing </b> |
634s | <b>to the metallic shoulder accessories</b> |
637s | <b>Even his hair and skin textures are lifelike </b> |
641s | <b>So like</b> |
642s | <b>For the heroes </b> |
643s | <b>They are designed based on the history</b> |
648s | <b>but also we like you know</b> |
652s | <b>It's not 100% realistic </b> |
655s | <b>So some of them are very legendary</b> |
658s | <b>So we combine the history and the legendary together</b> |
663s | <b>And so the heroes you can see</b> |
667s | <b>their appearance and design is quite elegant </b> |
674s | <b>And also</b> |
675s | <b>For each of the heroes they have their own weapons and</b> |
679s | <b>skills and also they have their talent and</b> |
684s | <b>So there will be like</b> |
686s | <b>lots of different combinations about the heroes </b> |
690s | <b>For example some hero they are very good at farming</b> |
694s | <b>So if you want to develop fast </b> |
698s | <b>You can send some of the heroes together</b> |
702s | <b>so they will have some buffs on it</b> |
705s | <b>If you were trying to be more competitive perhaps</b> |
708s | <b>You would use the counter system where</b> |
710s | <b>you could have pikemen which might counter a cavalry</b> |
712s | <b>You would have cavalry countering archers</b> |
716s | <b>You'd have the archers countering the swordsmen</b> |
719s | <b>basic swordsmen the swordsmen countering the spearmen</b> |
721s | <b>And each one of the civilizations has different visual</b> |
724s | <b>depictions of all these troops as well</b> |
727s | <b>So the Romans are all gonna be in a Roman style</b> |
730s | <b>Visually</b> |
731s | <b>And as well as their own unique units later as well</b> |
734s | <b>So you're getting the unique units</b> |
736s | <b>when some units counter other units or</b> |
739s | <b>they're better at some tasks than others</b> |
741s | <b>And then the heroes can also synergize with those units on top of that</b> |
746s | <b>So the heroes themselves</b> |
749s | <b>might synergize with different unit types</b> |
750s | <b>or gathering or other jobs as well</b> |
753s | <b>And they'll all have their own skills</b> |
754s | <b>And you can choose between</b> |
757s | <b>three skills on each commander</b> |
758s | <b>And those commanders up to three commanders</b> |
760s | <b>can be chosen for each troop as well</b> |
762s | <b>And multiple troop types</b> |
764s | <b>and so there's a lot of depth of complexity</b> |
766s | <b>from what we've seen in the the final test we played as well</b> |
768s | <b>And I think that there's a lot of viewers out there</b> |
770s | <b>who are really hoping to see</b> |
773s | <b>all of that depth and complexity here in that Age of Empires mobil</b> |
777s | <b>Because obviously Age of Empires is known </b> |
779s | <b>for having a lot of player choice and control</b> |
782s | <b>so being able to bring that over to a mobile platform</b> |
785s | <b>that's really impressive from TiMi</b> |
786s | <b>Right</b> |
787s | <b>And you know what </b> |
788s | <b>There were different players like different things</b> |
790s | <b>Like Will I think is one of those players that really</b> |
793s | <b>Well I would say</b> |
793s | <b>There's always something to do in the game</b> |
795s | <b>And that's actually one of my favorite parts about it</b> |
797s | <b>But the really cool thing is</b> |
799s | <b>I was playing the game back in the 90’s</b> |
801s | <b>The dream was to have these massive battles</b> |
804s | <b>And Age of Empires Mobile is the first time you can really have like</b> |
807s | <b>1,000 player 1,000 troops in a single army</b> |
810s | <b>And you can have 1,000 players all playing together</b> |
813s | <b>with their thousand troop armies</b> |
815s | <b>That's something that</b> |
817s | <b>you know</b> |
818s | <b>You always had in your mind's eye when you're playing</b> |
820s | <b>The original Age of Empires game</b> |
822s | <b>But now since it's been reimagined for the mobile space</b> |
826s | <b>It's like that something we actually are able to do</b> |
827s | <b>which is really cool</b> |
828s | <b>Like what Marta was saying earlier</b> |
830s | <b>One of the things I actually like about this game is </b> |
833s | <b>It's not just history</b> |
836s | <b>But also some fantastical element </b> |
837s | <b>To me is super interesting</b> |
839s | <b>So like</b> |
840s | <b>You were saying how you have to send troops </b> |
842s | <b>And then how to counter</b> |
843s | <b>But there's actually a weather system in the game</b> |
846s | <b>So like</b> |
847s | <b>In fact you have to deal with four seasons</b> |
849s | <b>like complete differently</b> |
850s | <b>And the weather actually affect how you are choose moves right</b> |
854s | <b>So it's typical</b> |
855s | <b>But it's not only just like snow or like rain </b> |
859s | <b>that you need to deal with</b> |
860s | <b>Sometimes you run into extreme weather condition </b> |
864s | <b>Mythical conditions like</b> |
866s | <b>tornadoes</b> |
868s | <b>lighting storm</b> |
869s | <b>which is related to the Wonders System</b> |
872s | <b>The iconic Wonders system in the game</b> |
874s | <b>yes yes</b> |
874s | <b>So the alliance</b> |
876s | <b>They can build some wonder buildings by themselves</b> |
881s | <b>And you can activate some extreme weathers by it</b> |
886s | <b>So when we first announce it</b> |
888s | <b>Some players said oh</b> |
890s | <b>This game is so exciting</b> |
891s | <b>Because you are not only play like Lord</b> |
895s | <b>But also you play like mighty person</b> |
898s | <b>You can control the weather</b> |
900s | <b>And also there is a weather forecast in the game</b> |
905s | <b>So you should sometimes </b> |
908s | <b>For some players</b> |
909s | <b>They will take a look at the weather forecast first</b> |
912s | <b>And then decide what they are going to do </b> |
915s | <b>yeah</b> |
916s | <b>I think the coolest part about it is that</b> |
918s | <b>while it's a reimagined Age of Empires experience</b> |
921s | <b>It didn't sacrifice on the strategic depth</b> |
924s | <b>And that for me as a long time</b> |
926s | <b>RTS player and strategy player like</b> |
929s | <b>That's definitely one of the</b> |
931s | <b>things that keeps me playing</b> |
933s | <b>And I think one thing we want to mention is that</b> |
937s | <b>The game</b> |
939s | <b>We wouldn’t say it’s RTS</b> |
941s | <b>That's too high-end</b> |
944s | <b>But we will say like it's real time control</b> |
948s | <b>Like you can control your troops anywhere you want</b> |
951s | <b>And you don't have to wait them to go and back </b> |
956s | <b>you can guide them</b> |
959s | <b>wherever and whenever you want</b> |
962s | <b>yeah</b> |
962s | <b>I think one thing I want to point out that</b> |
964s | <b>This really good point</b> |
965s | <b>One thing I want to point out to a place is</b> |
967s | <b>The game was built from the ground up</b> |
969s | <b>really for the mobile games</b> |
971s | <b>right</b> |
972s | <b>So in fact</b> |
973s | <b>I feel really lucky that we get to partner with TiMi Studio </b> |
976s | <b>Who is like expert in creating some amazing mobile experience</b> |
980s | <b>through the years</b> |
981s | <b>And we think the</b> |
983s | <b>I think the world</b> |
984s | <b>a lot of players around the world</b> |
986s | <b>is going to love this</b> |
986s | <b>it is very very much like</b> |
988s | <b>Hey,what would Age of Empires</b> |
991s | <b>for mobile gamers would look like</b> |
993s | <b>And then go even further</b> |
995s | <b>I constantly find new things </b> |
997s | <b>and new surprises in the games</b> |
999s | <b>And it just makes it like a lot of fun to play</b> |
1002s | <b>Historically I've spent on other mobile games</b> |
1004s | <b>I've streamed them for at least four hours a day</b> |
1007s | <b>Sometimes 10 hours a day</b> |
1008s | <b>So I do little more competitive </b> |
1010s | <b>When it comes to mobile games</b> |
1012s | <b>And there is definitely more sections for casual players</b> |
1016s | <b>But for more competitive aspect as well</b> |
1018s | <b>You know you're alliance based off</b> |
1020s | <b>It could be 50 people all the way up</b> |
1022s | <b>Until I want to say about 150 people can be at one alliance as well</b> |
1025s | <b>And you're all going to be contesting on the map</b> |
1028s | <b>At all times</b> |
1028s | <b>And because the game never pauses or stops</b> |
1031s | <b>You know</b> |
1032s | <b>Your activity and the way that</b> |
1034s | <b>You streamline your account is very important</b> |
1036s | <b>If you want to stay competitive</b> |
1038s | <b>And considering</b> |
1040s | <b>You know the test that we've already seen</b> |
1043s | <b>between the gear and the commanders</b> |
1045s | <b>And the troop types and all the things you can add in this game</b> |
1048s | <b>The depth of play is absolutely massive</b> |
1051s | <b>So the more time you invest in the game</b> |
1053s | <b>And the more time you invest in the community</b> |
1054s | <b>to learn more about it</b> |
1056s | <b>The better off you'll be</b> |
1057s | <b>I mean if the depth of the play is that</b> |
1061s | <b>as expansive as you scribe</b> |
1063s | <b>right</b> |
1063s | <b>it sounds like there is really a lot getting into it</b> |
1066s | <b>I mean it's really kind of a time investment</b> |
1069s | <b>But since it's a mobile game </b> |
1071s | <b>You have always the opportunity that option</b> |
1073s | <b>You just pick it up </b> |
1074s | <b>put it down</b> |
1075s | <b>open it up on your break</b> |
1076s | <b>while you're having your lunch at work</b> |
1078s | <b>And then you just close the phone</b> |
1080s | <b>Go back to whatever you're doing</b> |
1081s | <b>And it's still just waiting for you when you get back</b> |
1084s | <b>Absolutely</b> |
1084s | <b>And I think copy what Marta say earlier right </b> |
1087s | <b>It is not only have depth troll for subscribing</b> |
1090s | <b>I think it's fantastic</b> |
1091s | <b>That's really hardcore</b> |
1093s | <b>Strategic depth which I'm sure people would love</b> |
1095s | <b>But these also like a lot of casual</b> |
1098s | <b>like mini games that you were describing</b> |
1099s | <b>You were talking about</b> |
1100s | <b>For example I love how the team reimagined</b> |
1103s | <b>For example fishing</b> |
1103s | <b>Fishing is a mini game in this game and it is amazing</b> |
1106s | <b>I love the fishing mini game</b> |
1108s | <b>In the Age of Empires </b> |
1109s | <b>Like you can send villagers to go to coast of fish</b> |
1112s | <b>And that is a this a thing in the in the franchise</b> |
1116s | <b>And what TiMi taking advances </b> |
1118s | <b>As they created a mini game completely around that</b> |
1120s | <b>So you actually get villagers you actually go fish around the coast</b> |
1124s | <b>And it is amazing our whole team is addicted to that mini game</b> |
1128s | <b>And we can compete with each other</b> |
1130s | <b>to see how high points we can actually score</b> |
1133s | <b>So it's really fun</b> |
1134s | <b>I've got multiple friends that get caught up in fishing mini games</b> |
1137s | <b>In other games they never make it pass that point</b> |
1139s | <b>the fishing mini game comes up</b> |
1141s | <b>And then that's the only thing they ever open it up for again</b> |
1143s | <b>It's just one example of what they have done</b> |
1145s | <b>Right there many mini games </b> |
1147s | <b>And then</b> |
1148s | <b>there is just a big range of experience for people</b> |
1151s | <b>And one thing I love to do is to zoom in to see the details</b> |
1156s | <b>Like here you can see lots of my troops they are marching in the city </b> |
1163s | <b>And they guard the city</b> |
1166s | <b>And when you send out some troops you can literally see</b> |
1171s | <b>Like they are out of the town</b> |
1174s | <b>Yeah</b> |
1175s | <b>Like water running on top of the city </b> |
1178s | <b>Yeah</b> |
1178s | <b>So you can really get in there on the details </b> |
1181s | <b>and see everything that's going on</b> |
1184s | <b>And also you can see of course villagers</b> |
1186s | <b>villagers yeah that's right</b> |
1190s | <b>I mean</b> |
1191s | <b>That sounds really absolutely fantastic</b> |
1193s | <b>I think actually now </b> |
1194s | <b>when it's coming up we're gonna take a short break</b> |
1197s | <b>But first</b> |
1198s | <b>For our players watching from home it is time</b> |
1201s | <b>For the exclusive global launch show</b> |
1204s | <b>Gift Code Drop</b> |
1205s | <b>So feel free to take a screenshot </b> |
1207s | <b>And redeem it in the Age of Empires Mobile game</b> |
1211s | <b>after the global release on October 17th</b> |
1280s | <b>Welcome back</b> |
1281s | <b>We've just talked about the</b> |
1282s | <b>features of Age of Empires Mobile</b> |
1284s | <b>Including its diversivilization</b> |
1286s | <b> city building, units heroes</b> |
1288s | <b>and authentic battle experience</b> |
1290s | <b>Now I'd like to discuss</b> |
1291s | <b>a topic very important to mobile players</b> |
1293s | <b>Social interaction</b> |
1295s | <b>Marta can you tell us about the</b> |
1296s | <b>social elements in Age of Empires Mobile</b> |
1299s | <b>We've bring rich MMO elements into this Age of Empires Mobile</b> |
1300s | <b>We've bring rich MMO elements</b> |
1304s | <b>into this Age of Empires Mobile</b> |
1306s | <b>As you can see</b> |
1308s | <b>there is a very vast map in the game </b> |
1312s | <b>And you can meet all of the players globally on the map</b> |
1317s | <b>And so when you marching on the map </b> |
1319s | <b>you will meet</b> |
1321s | <b>players and their troops</b> |
1324s | <b>You can either just pass by </b> |
1325s | <b>or maybe you can attack others if you want</b> |
1328s | <b>Some alliances might be more friendly</b> |
1332s | <b>some might be more hostile</b> |
1333s | <b>There's a ton of things you can do with your alliances</b> |
1335s | <b>with players all over the world</b> |
1337s | <b>It's a very easy way for people to connect</b> |
1339s | <b>with great opportunities for community between</b> |
1342s | <b>you know </b> |
1343s | <b>building wonders</b> |
1344s | <b>Like some of the things that we're mentioning with</b> |
1346s | <b>tornadoes and lightning</b> |
1349s | <b>There are a ton of territory you can build</b> |
1352s | <b>When it comes to the map</b> |
1353s | <b>There is a huge map full of buildings </b> |
1355s | <b>and passes that open over time</b> |
1358s | <b>So over the course of almost two months</b> |
1360s | <b>Every single pass is going to open with new buildings </b> |
1364s | <b>plenty of things for these alliances of hundreds of players to fight over</b> |
1368s | <b>Okay </b> |
1368s | <b>So there's really a lot of social impact having here in the game </b> |
1372s | <b>I mean</b> |
1373s | <b>you got a lot of opportunity to work together with other people </b> |
1376s | <b>yeah yeah</b> |
1377s | <b>Because the alliance is very important in the game</b> |
1381s | <b>Like you can create alliance by yourself </b> |
1384s | <b>or you can join others</b> |
1386s | <b>or there could be alliance</b> |
1390s | <b>very big alliances</b> |
1392s | <b>And also one thing I want to mention is </b> |
1394s | <b>That even though we are not global launch yet </b> |
1398s | <b>But there are lots of players</b> |
1400s | <b>they are recruiting their members</b> |
1403s | <b>in the social media</b> |
1405s | <b>As far as I know the biggest alliance is more than</b> |
1409s | <b>maybe 900 members </b> |
1412s | <b>For now </b> |
1413s | <b>So the advertise everywhere to say like</b> |
1416s | <b>My alliance is very strong you should join us </b> |
1420s | <b>So you know that</b> |
1421s | <b>I bet 12 knows that a lot </b> |
1423s | <b>Well</b> |
1424s | <b>An individual alliance might start with only 50 players into it</b> |
1427s | <b>After buildings and technology you might be able to get 150 players</b> |
1431s | <b>There's no saying that you couldn't have a sister alliance </b> |
1434s | <b>Or multiple sister alliances</b> |
1437s | <b>Six full shells of 150 players</b> |
1440s | <b>you'd have a 900 players strong alliances</b> |
1442s | <b>Among other things they can </b> |
1444s | <b>build between technology</b> |
1447s | <b>They can work together for other things as well</b> |
1448s | <b>But after all</b> |
1450s | <b>mostly gameplay from inside the game</b> |
1454s | <b>But in terms of the social media and outside</b> |
1457s | <b>There's just a lot of community that helps people</b> |
1459s | <b>I suppose to join it</b> |
1460s | <b>One of the really cool things about mobile games is </b> |
1462s | <b>because so many people play it from so many different parts of the world</b> |
1465s | <b>It's really like a melting pot you know </b> |
1467s | <b>With its own translations of people from around the world</b> |
1470s | <b>That don't speak the same language</b> |
1471s | <b>Coming together</b> |
1472s | <b>To do things they enjoy</b> |
1473s | <b>Yeah </b> |
1473s | <b>I mean the alliance game plays a lot of new features there</b> |
1477s | <b>I guess unique to the mobile experience</b> |
1479s | <b>It's something we haven't really had in Age of Empires mainline </b> |
1483s | <b>It's particular PC side </b> |
1485s | <b>So things like having the tornadoes</b> |
1487s | <b>Because you've built your wonder</b> |
1488s | <b>You've got cool stuff with that</b> |
1489s | <b>Another thing just that I really enjoyed about the alliance is </b> |
1492s | <b>when you're a new player</b> |
1493s | <b>You're just starting out</b> |
1494s | <b>You can go and you can ask your friends for help</b> |
1496s | <b>In your alliance</b> |
1497s | <b>Then those alliance people can come in and say hey</b> |
1500s | <b>Or they basically click a button to help you build buildings faster</b> |
1503s | <b>When you're new feels great</b> |
1505s | <b>Because all of a sudden </b> |
1506s | <b>You're just progressing much faster than you would have without</b> |
1508s | <b>your friends helping you</b> |
1510s | <b>All the way into the late game too</b> |
1511s | <b>It's 1% each and you know when the time start going up</b> |
1515s | <b>I mean being able to have those helps us critical towards your growth</b> |
1519s | <b>You know</b> |
1520s | <b>One thing I remember is like when you play Age of Empires </b> |
1525s | <b>you at a late part of it you always worry about</b> |
1529s | <b>Where is the resources</b> |
1531s | <b>How can I get more resources</b> |
1534s | <b>But in the mobile version like </b> |
1536s | <b>You not only gather resources in your own city</b> |
1541s | <b>But also you collaborate with others </b> |
1544s | <b>And you build your alliances resources</b> |
1547s | <b>And also on the vast map</b> |
1551s | <b>the resources are placed everywhere </b> |
1553s | <b>So it also determine the strategy</b> |
1558s | <b>how you develop with your alliances </b> |
1561s | <b>Like where to get the resources </b> |
1565s | <b>And how could you occupy the big city to have more </b> |
1568s | <b>like buffs or bonus that kind of situation</b> |
1572s | <b>And you know you could also collaborate with</b> |
1574s | <b>what are the best ways to get it</b> |
1576s | <b>For example there will be little PvE units on the map</b> |
1579s | <b>or player versus environment</b> |
1580s | <b>Where you'd be able to attack them and get rewards</b> |
1583s | <b>some won't cost stamina</b> |
1585s | <b>some won't cost stamina</b> |
1586s | <b>But overall the think tank that is your alliance is going to help you</b> |
1590s | <b>create your own method with how best to play</b> |
1594s | <b>So speaking of the alliances</b> |
1596s | <b>How do they encounter each other</b> |
1598s | <b>How exactly does that work out</b> |
1600s | <b>Generally the way alliances encounter each other</b> |
1603s | <b>There is going to be a large map with buildings and passes </b> |
1607s | <b>And over time</b> |
1608s | <b>The different passes will open up</b> |
1610s | <b>and alliances will have to viver territory with buildings on this map</b> |
1615s | <b>So if an alliance wants territory </b> |
1616s | <b>They can either team up with another alliance they see </b> |
1619s | <b>Or they can enter combat with them</b> |
1621s | <b>So starting out</b> |
1622s | <b>you might only have 50 people in alliance</b> |
1623s | <b>but as the alliance grows and as the game progresses</b> |
1626s | <b>you might go up to 150 players</b> |
1628s | <b>And you might have one alliance with a sister alliance</b> |
1631s | <b>and these 300 players</b> |
1632s | <b>with their five marches might be going against another</b> |
1634s | <b>300 players with their five marches all the way </b> |
1636s | <b>Until the center of the map</b> |
1637s | <b>where they fight for the biggest building of them all</b> |
1640s | <b>okay and that would probably be one of those wonders</b> |
1642s | <b>we talked about earlier</b> |
1644s | <b>I think so </b> |
1644s | <b>all right </b> |
1645s | <b>okay</b> |
1646s | <b>cool </b> |
1646s | <b>very nice</b> |
1646s | <b>So you get this</b> |
1649s | <b>We call it I guess a world map maybe </b> |
1651s | <b>yes</b> |
1652s | <b>Okay</b> |
1652s | <b>So we get this world map</b> |
1654s | <b>And then you're able to interact with your own alliance on that server</b> |
1658s | <b>And then you're also going to run into</b> |
1661s | <b>I suppose</b> |
1661s | <b>enemy alliances on that same world map as well</b> |
1665s | <b>That brings us to the workmap </b> |
1669s | <b>In Age of Empires mobile </b> |
1671s | <b>Players will begin their journey on one of six continents</b> |
1675s | <b>As your alliance grows</b> |
1677s | <b>You will cross boundaries into new regions </b> |
1680s | <b>And interact more frequently with other alliances</b> |
1684s | <b>Eventually</b> |
1685s | <b>The most powerful alliances will fight for control of the Empire City</b> |
1691s | <b>Aiming to be crowned the ruler</b> |
1694s | <b>So the goal of ruling a capital feels really immersive</b> |
1697s | <b>I think historically </b> |
1699s | <b>Right</b> |
1699s | <b>It sounds like it's really a time investment</b> |
1702s | <b>So it's probably going to lead to some pretty strong bonds </b> |
1705s | <b>between with different allies in that alliance</b> |
1708s | <b>Is it like easy to just join one</b> |
1711s | <b>and leave one and join back in with another</b> |
1713s | <b>I would say for the more casual player</b> |
1715s | <b>if you join a casual alliance those bonds are pretty easy</b> |
1718s | <b>For the more competitive players</b> |
1720s | <b>you have players historically and in mobile games in general</b> |
1723s | <b>you have players that will play with each other for years </b> |
1725s | <b>Bonds were people end up going to</b> |
1728s | <b>let's say if we have a social event in a certain area </b> |
1733s | <b>Players will fly around from over the world</b> |
1735s | <b>to see each other and meet each other</b> |
1736s | <b>And those are the type of ones you can usually expect</b> |
1738s | <b>From at mobile communities</b> |
1740s | <b>Okay well so </b> |
1742s | <b>Now</b> |
1742s | <b>Another topic I think I'd like to really get into</b> |
1746s | <b>is going to be the city building </b> |
1748s | <b>We mentioned that you have some of that ability to build a city</b> |
1752s | <b>And that during attacks and sieges </b> |
1754s | <b>You could be taking over taking control of an enemy city as well</b> |
1758s | <b>Right</b> |
1759s | <b>So how does the city building work</b> |
1761s | <b>How is that gonna play out for our city building enthusiasts</b> |
1764s | <b>those who are really into that building aspect of the game play</b> |
1769s | <b>I can answer that because I'm as a single player fans right</b> |
1772s | <b>So there are actually a lot of different things that you can actually do</b> |
1775s | <b>But the thing that I like about alliance is </b> |
1778s | <b>like not only do you actually just like </b> |
1781s | <b>basically what 12 talking about like you basically join really big guild</b> |
1786s | <b>Every one they fell together</b> |
1787s | <b>But even for someone like me right</b> |
1790s | <b>I'm actually contributing to the alliance as well</b> |
1793s | <b>So for example</b> |
1793s | <b>I'm one of those guys that do assist other players</b> |
1796s | <b>There's also the aesthetic side of it</b> |
1798s | <b>So I noticed mentioned mini games like</b> |
1800s | <b>most of those mini games have call outs to the classic</b> |
1803s | <b>Age of Empires gameplay got the art</b> |
1805s | <b>The art has a whole bunch of call outs to Age of Empire gameplay</b> |
1808s | <b>like they've got the mill and it's in really high quality </b> |
1813s | <b>Like it's visually stunning</b> |
1814s | <b>I guess would be the way to put it</b> |
1816s | <b>You can zoom in on it and look at it</b> |
1818s | <b>And then same thing with audio</b> |
1820s | <b>So we mentioned earlier </b> |
1821s | <b>that there's we're riffing the game riffs on </b> |
1825s | <b>the original Age of Empires like main theme</b> |
1829s | <b>And now you've got like so you have that </b> |
1832s | <b>But you also have you know wind rustling through trees </b> |
1835s | <b>And everything like this </b> |
1836s | <b>this whole rustic thing</b> |
1837s | <b>Kind of feels like</b> |
1839s | <b>It's not just nostalgic</b> |
1840s | <b>Kind of like being out in nature </b> |
1843s | <b>It's really amazing actually</b> |
1845s | <b>One thing that I actually want to talk about a theme</b> |
1847s | <b>What you just mentioned remind me that I believed a theme</b> |
1851s | <b>The reinterpretation of the Age of Empires has filmed </b> |
1854s | <b>So actually won an award </b> |
1856s | <b>It actually won an award in industry events because how good it was </b> |
1860s | <b>So it is really good </b> |
1862s | <b>Okay so absolutely</b> |
1864s | <b>I mean</b> |
1865s | <b>It does seem that the teams involved have really put a ton of effort into </b> |
1869s | <b>not only the visual design</b> |
1870s | <b>but the overall sound design</b> |
1872s | <b>The game that I have seen so far is really awesome</b> |
1876s | <b>Even with the beginning cinematics that you get</b> |
1879s | <b>during some of the tutorial section of the game</b> |
1882s | <b>when you first started up right now </b> |
1884s | <b>It already looks absolutely fantastic</b> |
1887s | <b>I mean I really don't have any reason not to play it anymore </b> |
1890s | <b>after hearing what I've heard here today</b> |
1893s | <b>I'm super excited for the global release of Age of Empires mobile</b> |
1897s | <b>So everyone I think it's time</b> |
1899s | <b>Let's take a short break</b> |
1900s | <b>And then we'll be back with more exciting content for our viewers soon</b> |
2919s | <b>to create an authentic medieval world</b> |
2921s | <b>especially to deliver large</b> |
2922s | <b>scale onlined siege battles that feel real</b> |
2926s | <b>the teams at TiMi Studio and World's Edge</b> |

2938s | <b>Right</b> |

2971s | <b>I mean the community for Age of Empire</b> |
2975s | <b>really the things that kept this franchise going </b> |
2977s | <b>and I brought with me here a player guide</b> |
2980s | <b>It's 40 pages that was created by one of the top players</b> |
2983s | <b>in Age of Empire Mobile</b> |
2985s | <b>It's called</b> |
2985s | <b>Age of Empire Mobile: a guide to a new governor's path to glory</b> |
