Age of Empires II was released in 1999 by Ensemble Studios and featured numbered taunts players could trigger in multiplayer chat to communicate quickly. Taunt 6 requested stone, essential for castles, towers and town centers, and each language version was fully voiced, including the French line Des pierres, merci. The taunt system became iconic among RTS fans, quoted in forums and remixed in videos long after release. The French variants gained a second life on soundboards, where their formal tone contrasts humorously with casual English-speaking lobbies.

The French AoE2 taunt 6 voice line where a villager says Des pierres merci to request stone from allies in Age of Empires 2 multiplayer games.
This is the French version of taunt 6 from Age of Empires 2, a short male voice line saying Des pierres, merci, which translates to stone, please. It is delivered in a polite but urgent tone, exactly like a player asking a teammate for a resource tribute. In the original game the clip is triggered by typing 6 in chat, instantly signaling a stone shortage for castles or towers. Outside the game, its brevity and unmistakable RTS nostalgia make it a funny drop for resource requests, trades, and begging moments in videos and streams.
