Hidden part? Never heard of it, I'll look it up.
Also, did you ever play Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds? It used the same game engine AoE did, so it played basically the same, and was really good fun actually.

Edit: From gamewinners.com :
"Saxon Revolt scenario
There is a hidden scenario named "The Saxon Revolt". To enable it, enter the "Goodies" folder in the game directory. Instructions for enabling it are in that folder."

Was this it?

it's not a scenario, it's a part you can use and place in the map editor(with it unlocked)
hint:

No idea at all.
Maybe I just spent too much of my time with the game surrounding villagers with wolves on the map editor to find any cool secrets.

I used to do that all the time. They'd surrender only after they've used all their food making new villagers that just die anyway.

I found an amazing casino map online, with an awesome betting system so you could bet gold on if the villagers would survive the onslaught of wolves. That was fun :)

It's something called A 'sea wall', it looks like the paliside wall and you can use it on water, you just have to get the mod to unlock it, it only appears on 1 campaign mission:

Incredirobotwars · « **Reply #46 on:** May 31, 2014, 07:54:28 AM »

It's already unlocked in AoE II HD.

Lemonism · « **Reply #47 on:** May 31, 2014, 07:55:21 AM »

Nice. Looks like I have another reason to get the HD one then.

It's because of The Forgotten Expansion, which was released last year.

Well, AoE II HD is a remake, so of course they're going to make some differences from the original in terms of what's available.

Good point, I was just wondering why it was excluded from the original

when playing an online game, and a pop limit of 500, don't move five 300 strong armies at the same time. The server crashed just before a beautiful battle :/

Sounds like you were acting out the battle of the 5 armies from the hobbit

lol I was using 250 or such british longbowmen (DAKKADAKKADAKKA) and there was so many arrows the game slowed down and crashed

IN SINGLE PLAYER

huns and aztecs vs saracens and goths

with a persian craaig sitting on the side with his own waiting to pounce.

Naryar · « **Reply #57 on:** June 01, 2014, 09:00:13 AM »

i now imagine craaig's face on a war elephant

we should start an AoE2 thread somewhere. maybe i'll do a angry frenchman review of one of my battles.

and persians are pretty nice. especially when you unleash 50 elephants (hell even 20) on an unsuspecting enemy. at one point in a deathmatch there were at least 4 different colors of war elephants on the same screen due to 2 Persian players and monks.

these things are living battery rams seriously, only things that beat them are horse archers, judicious use of onagers and monks.

Natster-104 · « **Reply #58 on:** June 01, 2014, 09:03:51 AM »

I've had a look at the forgotten expansion, look it up it adds 5 new civilizations

...But you can only get it on steam
