Funny / Age of Empires I

• The Definitive Edition added defeat messages for the original base game's scenarios much in the same vein as what's included in the Rise of Rome.
  • If you fail the "Hunting" mission in the Egyptian learning campaign (which simply involves gathering enough food):
    When a herd of gazelles saw your approach, they stampeded you to death. Killed by small antelopes. Better luck next time.
  • The failure message for "Wonder of the World," the penultimate mission of the Egyptian campaign.
    Your attempt to build the great temple for Queen Hatshepsut was a complete failure, but somehow, you were still invited to join the Queen on her expedition to the land of Punt. One of the donkeys has fallen ill and the Queen is looking for a replacement.
  • The failure message for the 6th mission of the Yamato campaign, "Coup":
    The Soga find your attempt at keeping your mother in power cute. They call you "mama's boy."
• Even the victory messages in the Definitive Edition can be rather funny.

  • The victory message describing your reward for completing "Farming" in the Egypt campaign.

  The pharaoh has promised you a spot on the carved stone tablet commissioned to honor his victory. For obvious reasons, your image will not be as big as his.
