Can You Complete the AoE3:DE Campaign 1 Without Killing The Enemies Units? - Part 1

Hey guys welcome to this video and this new series I will continue to progress with. After being inspired by TWest's videos on Pacifism in AoE2 campaigns I was intrigued to see if this can be done in AoE3 vanilla campaign (and maybe others later on).

The rules are simple, if a unit needs to die for objective reasons then that unit must be killed otherwise all other units should be spared if it possible to do so. All enemy military units, vills, fishing boats and warships can not be killed but their buildings can be. Treasures and other mother nature units can also be killed.

This series was recorded live on twitch so there are a few mistakes and a balance between endlessly restarting and trying to get a perfect run was struck. See below in the spoilers for individual assessment of each of the first 3 levels.

That’s all I have for you today in this video, If you’ve liked this type of content then let me know in the comments below, give this video a like and I encourage you to hit that subscribe button. I am currently planning to release analytical, gameplay and commentary content for both AoE2 and AoE3 before AoE4 is released later this year which I'm very excited about.

Spoilers down below:















Level 1 of the Pacifist Campaign Run, i believe 3 jans died to the command outpost :( and 1 jan died after the scenario had finished (by Alain) so does not count. I have managed to do this deathless off stream before.

Unintended Death count: 3 jans
Intended Death Count: 4 great bombards

Level 2 of the Pacifist Campaign Run, scenario was going very well until i did not delete my great bombard and got kills in the background. Given that these kills did not interfere with my chances of success from my final cavalry charge I will condone these senseless killings :P

Unintended kills: Would have been 0 if i had deleted my great bombard after destroying the ammo cache

Intended Kills: 0

Level 3 of the Pacifist Campaign Run. A true deathless run on a level where id thought this would near impossible. At the end there was a very close call with a villager with no great coats nearly getting picked off by Morgans special attack! Level 3 definitely done and dusted!

Unintended kills: 0! Deathless!

Intended kills: 0 (apart from the mother nature treasure guardians but all treasure guardians don't count as kills in this challenge)
