I don't game a lot, but I enjoy the occasional AoE II. I first got into it with a CD version of Conquerors on an old iBook G3, and now I run the HD version using Crossover.
I drew a real-world map of Taiwan for AoE II using Peter Olson's map maker [1].
I'd like to recreate the history of the island and make a video, using AoE II HD to stage some battle scenes. For example, Koxinga's pirates burning the Dutch fort in Tainan. I've already written the script of the 5-minute video, which should be YouTube-ready.
The trouble is, making that scene would need multiplayer, which requires Steam. The non-HD version wouldn't look as good.
Would OpenAge be a better platform for trying to make this video? I'm not much of a movie producer, just a programmer geek who'd like to do this as a hobby project. I actually thought of the idea about a year ago, but never followed it up because I've been too busy trying to find a job.
