Movement of units through single-tile openings was greatly improved and tested with all unit types.

So basically, villagers can get very close to each other, avoiding gathering slowdowns. Villagers can use one of two collision sizes (either small or large), so if a villager bumps into another friendly villager we can immediately switch to the smaller radius to avoid stopping.Added multiple lane support to villager pathing.(It’s more complex than this, but that’s the gist of it.) DE’s pather gives up if after many thousands of iterations it can’t make forward progress towards the goal, to avoid spending CPU cycles on hopeless pathing unnecessarily.

DE’s pather fixes all these bugs and is a proper implementation of A*.

Age1’s pather’s A* implementation was outright broken (the open list management was flawed, so the cheapest node wasn’t always expanded upon during each iteration).

We retested the pather and game thoroughly after each major optimization pass. I implemented the A* early exploration optimization (eliminating 1 open list insertion/removal per iteration), and massively tuned the C++ code to generate reasonably efficient 圆4 assembly. I performed around a dozen separate optimizations passes on the core pather.

DE’s pathing system’s findPath() function was speeded up by approx 3-4x faster vs.

Here’s a list of fixes made so far to DE’s pathing and movement code in the time I had, which was only like 2 months: The current system still has problems with chokepoints, which can be fixed with more work, but we instead had to focus on multiplayer which had to basically be 85% rewritten. It must be emphasized that Age1’s pather and movement code is extremely tricky and hard to change without breaking a hundred things about the game or AI (sometimes in subtle ways). We made a number of improvements to the path finding and unit movement code without breaking the original system. It took multiple Ensemble engineers several years of development to go from Age 1 to Age 2 level pathing. Yet entire complex systems above it (combat, AI, etc.) depended on this super quirky movement/pathing code. The original movement/pathing code was very weak to say the least.

This code was almost a quarter of a century old, and it showed. Not Age 2, not new code, but the original code which had a ton of flaws and quirks we had to learn about the hard way. Age of Empires 1’s path finding was really bad, as most reviews point out: It’s not a rewrite, it’s not a new engine, and that’s what we’ve been saying for almost a year. First off, Age of Empires Definitive Edition is a remaster of Age of Empires.
