The 'Age of Empires' meme culture is primarily anchored by the iconic 'Wololo' chant from the original 1997 game, where a Priest unit could instantly convert an enemy soldier to their own side, changing their color from red to blue. This sound effect and the sudden shift in allegiance became a shorthand for changing someone's mind or jumping on a bandwagon. Over the years, the meme has expanded to include game-breaking cheat codes like 'how do you turn this on' and the distinctive voice lines of villagers. These memes are used to humorously depict ideological conversions, sudden plot twists, or the sheer absurdity of strategy game logic in real-world situations.
