Huzzah Soldier Store!!! I used to play that map A LOT back in my old MSN Gaming Zone days.

launch the maps in singple player and read the hints and tips. The mass unit maps are basically death matches but your units will usually spawn for you. You get bonuses for kills and need to destroy each others bases. RPG maps give you one hero to use on an adventure (like lord of the rings) and if your hero dies you lose.

I played a long time ago, but i just played with my brother. Now that ive been playing alot more i have much more interest but am unsure of what alot of these scenarios are (also having trouble finding info on all of them from the web). Any chance we could see what each scenario basically is in a brief description? Or am i just stupid and didn't see it somewhere? Thanks.

Oh, it IS! Sorry for being dumb and not looking :)

Thanks for the feedback, the art of defence is in volume 2, just click on the creator on the right to view all shared files.

That's a good set! There's still some less known maps that I miss, but that's not the point here. I think I need to collect those somwehre. Like Art Of Defence (be in middle with 8 guys, build defences against endlessly spawning enemies, have one stronger pike guy to start)

Nice I will have to look at what trigger is not working, my freinds and I had no trouble so it is strange you ran into the problem!!

Players 2 through 7 do not get any resources, only player 1. I did a quick fix by just setting the beggining food wood and stone amounts for players 2 through 7 to 3000. I couldn't find the appropriate trigger, but I suppose it doesn't matter too much, it works great now. The Scarens still get the resource bonus aswell.

Have you tried getting your friend to join as a different player? Have the computer in the second slot then get him to join in the third slot.

Dunno if your still around but when I try to play Ancient TD with a buddy, and the rest computer, only I get the 3000 resources at the start, he starts off with zip (0 of everything). I have everything on standard, teams locked and such. We tried multiple times to fix it, but no dice. Can anything be done?

When i play the simpsons rpg scenario i get stuck up the top near the rocks with the relic, any way to get past them? :(

Anyone knows how to change pop limit to 200 in CBA HTG? Its a good scenario, but 75 pop ruins everything.

thanks!

I just have made one of my last UDP Deahtly Cliffs versions today.
i have made the shops reveal now just for you guys who are asking for it. Also some balance changes done.
To download my latest version go to my channel and click on the link that says UDP Deathly Cliffs.

How many of these are playable with just 2-3 people?

Having said that they are all pretty simple with explanations in most of the map hints.

Not really, just looad them up against the computer to get a feel for what you are meant to do. Most of them only work properly in multiplayer and it is more a case of the old pc trial and error to learn the game!

Is there a way for new players to figure out how to play a lot of these?

Don't worry guys the reveal places work after a player harald's goes to the specific area it will be lighting up, i did this so preys won't know what's the hunter moving and doing in some important areas, that's why i made it like this.
Even though it could be a little bit bad for new players to understand the map.

OK, thanks for checking it out though!

Hi BDtetra,

I had a look. I am not sure if that is a bug, I always thought they were the areas the map wanted to reveal, glimpses of the enemy troops, power up locations etc.

Unfortunatly even if I updated the reveal locations it wouldn't update your version, steam workshop doesn't seem to work perfectly with age of empires still as far as I know.

BDtetra the reason why i haven't made any player can be playing as hunter, it's because there are massive amount of triggers which i have made for green.
If i assume that i will be making any player can be a hunter it would take me 10 years to make that so..
If Microsoft Studios made players be able to change their positions inside the lobby then problem would be solved instead of rejoining to get player 3.

Thank you very much for uploading my UDP Deathly Cliffs map into the list, i put a lot of afford into it.
If people enjoy playing it and want me to balance and fix bugs i might do it, I remember i stopped working on it a longtime now. version 7.08 was created in 2012/08/25 (before AOE II HD was released).
My map has over 6530 triggers there is endless fun and secrets on it, i hope that more people play it =)

As the prey, with UDP Deathly Cliffs. Most of the time these maps reveal portion of it to all players to show important locations. Some of the parts it shows seems, well, off. An easy place to tell this is that you can't see the hunter's king who's standing close to the center of the map (your objective). It seems that the coordinates that reveal the map are slightly off and some of them should be positioned a little bit more to the North West (At the moment I think they are positioned South East of where they should be positioned). The bottom right portion is revealed correctly (the place where the host does his settings for the game). I don't know if you can fix this, but it would be greatly helpful if you can.

Which UDP are you speaking about? I haven't had any trouble. Which player are you playing as to receive the problems, the hunter or the prey?

I assumed so. I was wondering since in some UDP games the host can actually choose who becomes the hunter.Also why is the vision on the map messed up for the game? It seems to be lighting up some random places on the map and not lighting up key places like the food store in the west? I know you didn't make the map but was just wondering if this was just a consequence for porting it over to HD or it was in the original, because I don't remember it like this.

ie usually player 3 is the hunter from memory.

It is old school age of empires we are playing, the only way is the be that particular player.

how can you chose who to become the Green team in UDP other than actually reentering the game until you get that color?

Hi atkHOBO,

Both the UDP maps work normally for me. I use standard settings but the map recommends lock teams to be also ticked. Teams work themselves out for you. Your issue may be with a mod not working with this map for some reason?? Not sure sorry!

Hey, my game keeps crashing when I try to play U da prey, is there something I need to adjust? Also what's the proper set up like should the teams be set or let the game take care of it?

There are hundreds of things wrong with it, I uploaded the wrong file when I made the mod but the update is ready when AOE2HD fixes subscriber updates. Also Volume 2 has some good archer maps.

Ya. This version of Archers Blood kept making my units (as Orange) move to one spot over and over. Try moving the units, they lag for a second, then run back to the same spot. As well, oranges Hand Cannoners do not spawn correctly. They spawn, but do not path off the spawn location, therefore blocking anything new from spawning

Yeah that version sucks!

Shame you included that version of Archers Blood. It is indeed extremely buggy and should not be in this pack. It is far from being the best version, especially since it does not work correctly.

These maps are made for multiplayer sorry.

oh..... is there any way to "turn" on a ai?

Also no I did more than add my name to it, I fixed 100s of bugs on each map, you would be suprised how many problems they come with. Once we can update mods properly we can keep updating until we have a perfect set.

Please do, the point of these map packs is to have a list of maps that everyone can be satisfied are bug free and cheat free. If aoe HD would get their act together I could update the maps.. They are updated on my end but no one receieves the updates.

Oh and there is still alot of bugs in some maps, Will be happy to post them.

Please don't put HD Ready because no. It's not, All you did is add your name in and put all the maps togother, One of the maps doesnt work for me.

I actually got fed up by playing with people who constantly would die so I edited the map to make it Single Player
It's Called "Ancient Tower Defence - Single Player" (naturally) and you can get it by searching the workshop or looking at my files

Ancient TD: You can not play it by yourself. You and your friend join then fill the rest of the slots with computers (all maps require this apart from the mass unit maps). Set everything to standard and revealed map. Delete an outpost to set difficulty. Build towers to protect your king. Use your villages to get resources. Use your other king to buy upgrades that cost gold, ie castle age. If you let through a certain amount of soliders your king dies. Last human player standing victorious.

may i suggest a how to guide to set it up for osmeone who has never played it? i am still completely lost as how to start it. someone told me i had to make one of the players a computer? i appreciate your previous comment but please explain it like i'm 5

Ancient TD has a large timer at the start for set up, also it only works with at least two people as it is non co op. Basically set up for first 10 minutes then it is on! Make sure to select a difficulty by deleting an outpost.

How do I set Up Ancient TD? Nothing seems to happen when I launch it

It doesn't work for solo play sorry. Try Rambit Tower defense or the art of defense in volume 2

How does Ancient TD work for solo play? Every time the computer doesn't build any towers and once they're all defeated it says I've won :(

I have updated all the maps with fixes but subscribers are not getting the updates for some reason.

If you can't find maps it is a AOE2HD error that people have been getting. Some people have been getting around having trouble subscribing by spamming subscribe till it works. Check your scenario folder in program files to see if it has worked.
