Made In History | AGE OF EMPIRES Part 2: Glory of Greece - REAL HISTORY @MadeInHistory | Uploaded October 2021 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Follow the Greeks from their Bronze Age beginnings to the height of the Hellenic era. Step into the sandals of famous Greek heroes like Achilles, Pericles, Xenophon, and Alexander the Great to build a civilization spanning the ancient world from the Mediterranean to India. (In game description)

This video focuses on the Mycenaean civilizations beginnings, the fall of the Minoans, the Bronze Age Collapse, the Trojan War, the Greek Dark Ages, Greek Classical era, the Persian Wars, Xenophon's March of the Ten Thousand, and Alexander the Great's conquests.

With Age of Empires 4 (AOE IV) coming out, we decided to make a new series dedicated to the Age of Empires franchise, but in the style that we're all familiar with! This is NOT an AOE gaming video, nor guide or walkthrough.

We'll try to go through all the Age of Empires series, potentially taking breaks to go back to our regular short form videos. This won't affect our planned milestone vids, and will have its own dedicated playlist, apart from our longer term project.

If you've played any of the Age of Empires games and are into history, this series will hopefully give some background on the scenarios and campaigns from the different games. For this original AOE game, we are using the in-game History script with some parts edited.

If you HAVEN'T played the games, this series is STILL for you. While we use some gaming clips, the history is still prominent, and the main focus.

Here's the playlist for what we'll cover in the Original Age of Empires:

We are planning to make other long form documentaries as a basic introduction for each playlist for each milestone on our road to 1000 Subscribers! That not only means a Medieval and 2 Modern History ones to accompany our Ancient History video (we will re-make the Ancient one as well once we hit our milestones!), but also 5 based on the regions of the World! They will be the introductory points for our regional and time period playlists.
