Hittites would win. You can't possibly beat 300HP catapults with 15 range and a large AOE area which pwns units and buildings alike - using AOE2 units...well, maybe Mongols and their Keshiks.

Realiticly, AOE2 armies should thrash AOE1 armies. Its like placing napoleons army againt Nazi Germany in WWII...though...the French wouldve probably seen the same result in the end :P

Let's see...AoK's siege sucks, AoE's is waay too poweful. Helepolii pumping Nuff said! lol, but seriously, Centurions with 37 of attack?. And I admit archers are better in AOK, but most like their petty cavalry archers have smaller ranges, our Cataphracts (yes not like those crappy ones of the byzantines) beat paladins, with one hand tied to their backs, Legions would beat champions, I bet the armored elephants would beat the slow (and starngely with more hack damage) persian elephants. Our camel riders are stronger than their Heavy camels, and so are our priests. Yup, those petty civs of AoK stand no chance. About buildings: maybe the difficult ones would be the teuton castles and the ottoman bombard towers, because of their range that would be a nuisance even for helepolii, but not for heavy cats. In any case AoE villies build well faster than AoK's, maybe that compensates for their low quality buildings lol.. Oh did i mention that AoE's ships are better even tho they have no piercing armor? Oh and now this raises a question: why AoE towers don't respect their ranges? they always have 1 more than they should.

And I'm glad you didn't even mention AoM...that would be an even worse massacre.

Now talking about real life... of course high middle ages aremies were pretty impressive but also I think that before gunpowder, Imperial romans legions could have beaten most medieval armies.

Aok buildings of aok have crazy HP. But aoe1 units would indeed win if aok was facing aoe1. Our helepolis (and even ballistas!) outrange thair mangonels or siege onagers.

Their trebuchets would be a pain for a turtler, but our Heavy Cats beats the crap out of them

Also, in aoe you usually bronze at about 12-15 minutes, in aok you read feudal age by then

I think AoE would win. Our priests could convert half their army before they even managed to get their monks in range to do the same, and they have no chariots. Their buildings would be a challenge and prevent early rushes but we have the best siege weapons also.

I don't remember the numbers but I think our cavalry could beat theirs too, since it's much more flexible (we have [light/medium/heavy] [archer/melee] cavalry, they have what? light, heavy and archer). Unfortunately they have good cavalry counters though.
AoE archery sucks, so this would be an issue.


And if we start to lose, we're the ones with the nuclear weapons handy at the closest town center

overcoming their castles, walls and gates can be hard without trebuchets and rams.

Heavy Catapults clears the way

Still the building hps are quite a problem, in fact you could just construct 8 AoK houses around the TC in stone age and call it a day.

You're overrating the buildings. Before The Conquerors updates (where they changed the turtle ship looks, made war wagons weaker and conquistadores stronger) I could use the Korean 12 range, fully reserched Siege onagers (after the update they went 11, right? heh so bad for them: more points for helepolii) to tear down castles, and walls with no help from trebuchets. Sure it took a while but it was done within an acceptable period of time, and Siege onagers have only 15 more attack points than the H cats.

Also while one builds a town center and 8 houses in AoK, one had build a real city in AoE. AoK Villies are so slow! Must be the females hmm lol

It's interesting how crossbowman and basse say "our" when at least the swede is openly and obviously more AoK than AoE :P (i wonder why i do like to make a nuisance of that lol, sorry)

Aok only because of the triggers. Aoe1 for the gameplay!

Look at the OP.

"consider if we allow the AoE I "buildings only take 1/5 damage""

By this I mean that if AoK attack AoE I buildings, they do the reduced damage.

If AoE attack AoK buildings, they do the full damage as happens in AoK.

As for surrounding the TC, there will also be the other player's houses near there too, so it could be wasteful to attempt this You could just use villies with loom researched to try and harass the AoE civ, either way makes AoK civ slower to reach Fuedal or Castle...

BTW, building foundations in AoK were undestructible, right? Now i get Fruitfish's concern. Of course to build 8 houses you would need wood to do so and that takes time.

Ah but we train faster, farm better and have the best counter units! Admit hoplite vs hoplite would end with AoE win, but hypaspist vs AoE hoplite would end with a hypaspist win hands down (And the AoM arhcers are considerably more powerful than their AoE equiv)

Look:
AoK has best buildings - they should anyway
AoM has best archers and counter units
AoE has best everything else pretty much

Best archers? hmm i'm not sure. They do have a lousy (I admit it, more realistic) accuracy. Now Hypaspist with only 7 of attack beating a fully upgraded 24 attack/12 armor/120 hp hoplite? I'd like to see that. I have to admit AoM Chariot archers are better than AoE's, but the rest is in doubt. Besides AoE and RoR have their not so secret weapon: absurdly powerful siege weapons.

lol

you forget they have bonus's scripted in, so the hypaspist would deal even higher than that

and you also forget archers with flaming pitched and cavalry beat siege easy!

AND you forget myth and heroes!

Not even cavalry beats Helepolis, trust me

Civs with Helepolis and Heavy Cat would be able to take down the archer and cav combo - Cats have bigger range than archers, squash them while Helepolii guards the Cats and takes out the cavalry. Also put some Centurions in front of the Helepolii... ;p

ah but you forget priest spam

and there is nothing in AoE that can beat a myth unit, admit that, especially the later game ones, such as the colossus, chimera and fire giant

I think AoE's Siege can beat myth units... which btw are limited in numbers due to the limited amount of favor and the population slots they take. And you can't deny that in AoM large numbers of human soldiers can beat myth units so i see nothing impeding AoE's units from doing so. Oh and thanks for reminding me the priests. Be prepared for an army of colossi to be turned to our side.

AoK "priests" aren't as good as AoE ones anyway are they? (Cats could squish them just like the archers...) Does AoM even have priests? (I've only played a demo...)

AOM has priests (egypt) but they cannot convert...

... Unless your Set, in which case they can convert animals to your side, they also get a pharaoh

although, a 1500 HP 69% crush armour 50 Crush Attack 20 Hack Attack Gold Colossus would rip through catapults!

Then you forget... GOD POWERS!

In aoe1 we have some gods too, they're called centurions. Their idiotic attack/hp/armor combo will smash your colossus, because we can probably train a lot more of them.

And we have slingers that know how to deal with giants (david and goliath)

Combined with Helepolis spread out, Colossus will be taken down!

Unfortunately they would be crushed within seconds at the hands of this Colossus... ;p



1,000,000 HP and 40,000 damage per second on the firing side...

In an AOK vs. AOE match, if we based unit stats on which civ was best, cataphracts would have a serious problem with 192 HP paladins...but centurions would rip through everything, even Teutonic Knights. But let's see the centis face a Teuton castle, only let's thrown in the final archery upgrade. (They normally don't get it.) The result, adding twenty garrisoned archers, is a castle dealing 14x15 arrows from 13 range. That'd be pretty hard for a few centurions to get through. And heavy cats are countered nicely by AOK's cavalry.

As for not having chariots, hussars deal bonus damage to monks and are conversion resistant, but are, admittedly, weaker than chariots. So what? They have wings. They look cooler!
