Age of Empires II launched in 1999 with a numbered taunt system that let players send quick audio messages in multiplayer. The English version of taunt 05, Gold please, sat alongside requests for food, wood and stone, covering the game's core resources. Because matches relied on allies sharing tribute, the line was heard constantly in LAN and online play. It survived re-releases including the HD and Definitive editions, and older players still quote it as shorthand for needing resources, long after the original chat commands became gaming nostalgia.
About this sound
Gold please is the English taunt 05 voice line from Age of Empires 2, used in games and memes when asking teammates for tribute or begging for resources.
A male villager voice delivers a short, polite but urgent request for gold in a clear English accent. The line is clipped and instantly recognisable, with a slightly pleading tone that makes a routine resource request feel dramatic. In Age of Empires 2 it is triggered as taunt 05 during multiplayer matches, letting players ask allies for tribute without typing. Outside the game the brevity and earnest delivery turn it into a reaction sound for anyone short on money, loot or help, landing as both a genuine plea and a joke.
