Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, how's it going guys, welcome to the stream.
Let's get into it.

chrono captain cuddles little saint Jimmy Wapo Fafalesca
Uchiha Nialder and Ruygen Geist study is what oh hello hello hello let's play
Japanese the cavalry save check title stream title for energy boost
Dude, I saw it!
It's so good!
I love his titles, man!
Mmm, mmm, cookie yum!
Much energy!
It's so funny.
Mmm, cookie yum, smiley face.
Uh, so Ethereum 2.
Thanks for the...
Roman's there, no Mongols for a bit.
Yeah, alright.
Let's put this over here.
Let's scout the front of our base for boar, let's go here, let's go here, you go to the
back left, you go to the back right, gonna go for a minute arms rush guys, I'm Japanese,
it's in my blood, that's what the sif wants.
Funny that on cow maps you get significantly more cow done.
Wow that's a lot of chickens.
combat you get significantly more less in less counting in fact hey Gordon Ramsay
take the ball over here what's your DPI I don't know I don't know you need to go
back home quickly just in case. Got two boar found already. Iki masu! What does she?
Over here it's a very small wood line, but at least it's a relatively efficient one.
One on each side, take the second board, find the rest of the cows, check the chicken game.
I found everything I needed to find, let's go find the opponent.
I want to try and do a super fast tech
I think I'm near, there's a 3 golds, that's just tertiary golds probably, 2 buildings,
Boy, that's lumber camp.
Oh, barracks and lumber camp alone is enough to h up, right?
That's kind of crazy.
Who does that?
It's just going full ham with the scout on the willy.
Okay, we're near.
few seconds late on the a job
He's going Militia too?
saw this then.
I
and
Oh
20 minutes, not bad.
Barrow too
I have so much foes.
Oh
Why is it still in the game?
Oh my god I scared my dog sorry Logan Jesus
It's okay, I'm looking, I'm just excited, winning.
Okay, that was good, that was good.
I had really high food, low wood, low gold when I castle upped, and I wasn't ready to
make my decided army, which kind of sucks, but overall it's okay.
You're planning, and strats are evolving?
Yeah, true, true.
Clean micro, thank you.
Man, he was so constricted.
I can't believe he did triple TC while he's under pressure.
At least I would never do something like that.
It's like, oh, I'm getting attacked.
I'm gonna go triple TC with no wall off.
Great to see you playing A.V.2 again.
Do you think yours thing thing will reach 1400 elo first?
Let me see, I'm 1500, he's 1290, who will reach 1400 first?
I think he will.
Why did you go for second TC for success log?
I think unless you have everything set up for a very clean all-in victory, and you know
all the steps, this is probably better.
I had very high food, no way to spend the food, so the second TC can spend the food.
If I had like a 10-villager food economy with 12 on gold and 20 on wood or whatever, or
17 on wood however much you would have, I'd be perfectly set up for 2-3 range, ballistics,
full and into a siege workshop.
I reached castle age and this was not well planned because I guess I was initially scaling
for a minute arms into castle. I reached castle age with 20 villagers on farms or 20 villagers
on food at least. I like this farm here next to a house. It's kind of close to the mill.
I think making 3TC when you're behind is a good idea, you kind of have to try to catch up.
Yeah, it can be. It can be.
But stable after seeing your food is a good solution? Yeah, exactly.
And in that moment, I was still thinking I'm Malay or Ethiopian,
and then as I started building it, I was like, wait, I'm Japanese.
I can make Calvary, it's fine.
it's fine. I get all the basic things that I could want or need. All right, that was nice.
Also, chat.
Yeah, there's no watermarks in the tournament. Thank you for this up. By the way, Tom Kuzanski
skip the 2 months, James2O with the new Twitch Prime, thank you.
I saw Spirit of the Law video, he said adding TC pushes you back like 7 minutes.
7 minutes? No water, perhaps you thermal nerf.
Oh you played with water, you thermal.
Ciao Gaby, hello.
You know, in Netherlands we only say ciao when we disappear, not when we greet.
Well, maybe the Italian is, uh...
It's... maybe Italian can say ciao and hi.
Uh, I went 125 on arena and hi.com binds, I unviewed water and I won 75% of the games.
Oh shit, okay, I see.
In Italy you can always say ciao. Okay, cool.
Uh, let's do that again.
Let's do that again.
Someone on YouTube asked the desks crowd, anyone know when the tournament is?
I know when it is, it's somewhere in June.
I shouldn't say the exact date until her ass is ready to announce it.
It was super hot today chat.
It was so hot today in Netherlands.
I was sweaty, sweaty, had to like keep drinking water getting out of the sun while working
in the garden to prevent heat stroke.
How many Celsius?
In the sun?
30 or something.
Do you know some tournament rules already?
Yeah, but I'm not sure what I should say.
I guess just like some basics.
Like maps most likely, Ariba, Ariba, Arania, and one more, maybe.
Servus Manuel, Fisch Spaß beim Grind.
Danke dir.
I didn't know you could hit 30 Celsius in the Netherlands.
Yeah, more than that even. In 2018 it was a 42 Celsius summer in some places in the Netherlands.
Arriba! Arrena! Arrena seems boring to watch. Yeah, it is kind of boring, but I think
Ero just does that because he knows it's like a noob map. Oh, there we go. Not Japanese. Let me see,
Let me see, let me see, let me see.
Let's go for the Giz.
He just knows it's like a noob map.
And something that's always in the pool.
Oh, I just started with AoE 2, if I play normally I lose everything, but I just won with a cheese.
It's always good to bring your opponent in balance.
The money is generally for competition, if you can make the game weird then people don't know the answer anymore.
The money is for everyone, except if you discipline all the weak, out of your spell provided.
Cast counter is always more difficult than cast self-dun, so good idea, nice.
Would you consider visiting Age of Mythology Result? No.
It's not multiplayer popular enough to justify the investment, no matter how fun it is.
Alright, I'm against shoe, what does it mean?
So rare in the Netherlands to have to speak.
It's still strange that om is translated into an emote.
I'm learning German it's strange to understand half what you said or maybe you think you
understood half of what I said but you didn't actually ever thought about that.
I'm going to try to do a little arena clown rush game, I'm sure I don't remember the exact
details. Recently I practiced Phosphoroo, but it's been a bit, it's not recent enough
to remember it correctly. We're going to try and do our best version of it.
will you pressure the devs to make a devs safe? no, why would I pressure them? safe is
fun though or or I mean Dutch is fun though or Dutch adjacent because I play
Holy Roman Empire in in a week for and I can hear some of the words they say I
can understand them and it's quite it's quite fun oh shit too many on wood I
I think.
I can start scouting him.
Here's one more Borough first.
saw his god he's shoe I don't really know what that means
I forgot the build order
It's not nearly as good when you forget build order... it is what it is.
I think, let's see, I have a 20, two more.
I guess I can skip Lume as well, two villagers and then up.
I guess I can make Lune after, just in case.
Wait, no gold, right?
and use markets
should have war chariots also we have the same shits basically
we both have some uh... mecha machine
It's funny.
We both have a robot.
I think I have too much on loot probably.
I suppose what I can do is make farms with it. The walking distance is kind of bad, but okay.
Okay, he's not aged up yet, which means he's booming even harder, I think.
close to having enough. Not quite. I'm a little bit food short. Alright, there we go. I'm
I'm gonna go fall in, so I just leave six on food.
and
maybe seven
So, I'm not going to do an offensive castle drop, because then he knows what I'm doing.
So I'm gonna make it at home the first one.
Smart right?
I'm never gonna get through two scouts anyway.
Oh
There little food
Secret, it's getting relic scout control, they have more than enough money for a bunch
of organ guns which is nice.
It should be ok on food soon, so more on gold.
Very similar in supply.
This house is a bit early isn't it?
Do I need any upgrades for Oregon gun?
No right?
It's an imperial army yeah
Okay how many should I move out of it?
the fact they're so strong because they don't need upgrade yeah okay
five to six
should I be moving out and then dropping another castle normally can they
break walls I don't know any of this
No, he's coming too!
Jesus!
What's inside there?
Maybe nothing? There's no flag.
Oh my god, it's a clown fiesta.
There's nothing inside, two clowns. I know it's gonna make manganelle.
What the- what's that?
Oh shit.
Oh my god!
What's all those buildings?
Yeah, there's some kind of building in it.
I
I don't know who instaed, War Chariots or otherwise.
Fuck you.
GG.
Oh my god.
Imagine if I moved out with the first one.
It has more villagers too. If I moved on with the first one, maybe he never makes that workshop?
Opponent was cheating? He made more than one unit!
This War Chariot doesn't count as an archer though.
What do you mean doesn't count as an archer?
Why would I ever think that some robot would count as an archer? And how does that help me, Braestel?
His War Cherry doesn't count as an archer so you can only monk man go in. I don't understand
I've been sort of stabby when workshop. Uh-huh. Can I make workshop without barracks? I can right?
But he had a second town something no, I had Villager quit. I think I had idle time on villagers
Blacksmith is required for work shop, same as in the Warcraft 3 actually, cool.
How does Aoe2 work in BO5, do you change race between games?
Yes, and they called Sif here.
onions! Redfall through does the F3 Warchariot and destroys it. Well he does everything.
there okay
During your first tour, I got interested in Dutch history.
It was extremely rich.
The Wilken Particular, when I did deep research with AI, had the highest state of gravity
and lowest data entropy of any event.
genesis of the genesis of capitalism I see glad to have a cool little intellectual
highlights of the day oh shit I don't see how a we has anything to do with the
dutch though, but...
alright, let's try to super fast, uh...
many times rush again
A little bit more on food and then let's see, two more on food and then go to wood.
No, it's okay.
One more deer.
zoom in a bit. Make the darks. Scout Alpo. Oh, mistake.
Ah, the barracks is late.
Oh is near
Damn, a little bit of gold-gold-short.
Alright, fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine.
I did a super fast rush and it's slower than it should be, but okay.
Oh good.
I mean, that's still good for me even though I lost too much HP.
you
Maximum
I
Blind
Oh
Overloading the berries for some big push. I actually cut all equal upgrades for now
Finally getting equal upgrades he's making horses and skirmishers
Hey, thank you for the sub.
He has no upgrades, skirmishers are ass without upgrades.
He's actually overtaking me in score.
Oh my god, I thought I was winning.
Well done.
of
It's not.
Oh
I was hitting head and score, I guess he scouted more.
score doesn't matter.
our member score doesn't matter.
Oh
Oh, yeah, it's still open, oh it's not open, oh it's not open, oh it's not open, oh it's not open,
No, it's not
Oh
I
So I'm looking for him everywhere, he has nothing else and I'm not sure why he's not
leaving.
I'm just going.
because he's killing units or what it's not enough
after map is in darkness yeah but I don't think he okay sure not half but I
I don't think he's actually anywhere here.
He just doesn't give up, very admirable.
GG.
Nice.
Good.
Thank you much better than yesterday, got a bit of a plan.
pretty high resource guns. This should be considering my upgrades, ranges, and
stables, right? Maybe a couple of farms and then ranges and stables. We need to
check your APM in this game. It was more than usual, I think. I think it was higher
than usual. If he's BM, do you kill all buildings? I'm not sure what you're
asking, but I'm gonna make up your question. Is it PM to say until all buildings must
be killed? In my opinion, yes, and some people's no. At the end of the day, it's a choice.
Let's see, where do you see APM? Uh, general APM? Jepham? Gepham? Grubby, you can click
Secondly, Castle, look at the spy tech. If it's high gold to upgrade, he has many villagers left.
Ah, because it's like a thousand to a hundred gold per villager, right?
But is it actually one per one or not?
Like, surely you cannot just see how many villagers Oppo has.
Two hundred per villager? Wait, but surely having a castle, you cannot see the exact amount of enemy villagers.
with a maximum of 30k 30 thousand yeah so 150 max yes you can what our apm
counted here it's incredibly low I don't know it's weird right still 75 apm for
me is really high for a v2 because usually I was like 40 I don't
Hello, Gindy-san.
I felt fast, but I am confused how he overtook me in score at some point.
Let's see, maybe he killed more, I guess because I ran a bunch of units into the ground, but
I killed villagers for it.
He peaked at hundreds several times as well, okay.
Yeah, I guess it's the unit kills.
Colony Y is very similar, technology Y is very similar.
It's not that clean yet, I do have some idle TC time.
i think getting to 100 APM is impossible
but i noticed resources a lot
uh... that's where even though i only have two villager kills i'm over a
thousand gold
a thousand resources ahead
that's not bad
i castled one-and-a-half minutes earlier
yo thanks for the sub brian
and tier two two two
Soren Westwood, thank you guys.
There, military KD1212.
Does he have like more technology? No?
Yeah, he has a bit more military.
9, 2, 10, 4.
Camel Skirmisher
didn't feel that good for him, in my opinion.
Or did he just micro it badly, Chad?
I think he had to keep his camels right behind the skirmisher, let's say his comp is harder to play.
Of course it was also not a lead skirmisher.
Seven villager kills.
And I'm ten villagers ahead.
I guess I really was leading all the time,
but I couldn't tell from the score.
I ended up losing a million units to mangoes,
I'm 86 villagers against 42.
This guy felt good for him, even though he's killing units with mangoes.
Like he's barely farming.
36 villagers kills.
Alright.
Cleaned.
Uh, is that Hearthstone? No.
Yeah, I think we're at 1600. We're ready again.
So what I've been playing is this 17-villager men-at-arms rush, but I think I'm getting
some details wrong because I'm getting there slow.
There's also a video tip on how to find your opponent fast, wait I kinda need that too.
Yo what's up everyone, welcome back to another quick tip video today I'm gonna show you guys
how to find your opponent's TC without running your scouts into his TC as the main man for
one of your Arabia.
A lot of you guys might already know but I'm sure there's gonna be something in here that's
gonna be new to the average listener so it's probably gonna be some small information at
the very least I hope.
So basically in the standard game of the 4th and Arabia, you've got your main gold, your main stone,
then you have two secondary golds, a secondary stone, you have your main dairies, and then you have some form of woodlines.
These are the major clues as to where you are and where your opponent will be as well.
The main gold, Tazen is very close to it, very same thing, that main stone, same thing.
Secondary gold and stone, it's usually a little bit further, I'd say twice the distance,
but it's still a good hint to get the general area of where your opponent will be.
Sheep and deer and gore are also good indicators, but usually those are taken, so we're not going to countless as indicators for this particular...
The video, but obviously there are also hints if you go across right away to find your opponents
and you run into some sheep, he's going to be around there because as you can see, we
are around our sheep.
Another thing to note is that there are on the map extra resources and relics, the opponent
will never be in the same vicinity as these.
Sandi gave me radio, there's two stones, three tiles, and two golds, three tiles.
We know the extra golds because usually they have less, oh they always have less tiles
than the second day, so they always have three tiles.
I think the map gen changed.
I don't think it's like this anymore.
corner resources so I'm not gonna watch the rest of this this is not true let's
see six villagers to sheep two villagers to wood one villager to bore one more
to bore so now we have eight on bore lure two deer it's six two and then eight
send one villager to my house go back to hunt under TC okay so it's not the wood
guy that does it. I usually like to do it with the wood guy but I guess that costs too much wood.
Next two villagers to hunt under TC send one villager to make barrack in front of our base.
At just 12 pop already.
That's why mine keeps being late. I think the reason I can't make this barrack
is because I make the house with the wood villager instead of the hunt villager.
You can't do it in a chicken gen?
Well, I just played a deer gen.
I understand I cannot do 17 villagers on a chicken gen because it says lure at least
to deer mandatory.
So barracks is at like 15 villagers or whatever.
send the third to wood, get your loom, and then age up. Okay, perfect landing time 825.
Let's watch when we had it, actually, because I had delays.
It's so good actually coming to their base, like 50 seconds faster, 50 aoe seconds faster,
it's so good actually.
Yeah, it feels kind of unfair, but I guess if all moths are allowed, I even saw someone
playing with snowman mode like enemy infantry with snowman it made them
stands out so much like there's actually so many OP things you can do so my
barracks is late and the reason is cuz I made it made the house with a wood guy
I'm pretty sure yeah yeah it was survivalist how long does a house take
It's the house in the list here actually, I think not.
House is now in this list.
24 or 25?
25 seconds, it is still right.
25 seconds.
building the house with a lumber guy cost me 10 wood right this board this
build is so tight that bad dear board placement could ruin it okay well I just
have to get more perfect then that's why I have idle TC time now
15 to 20 woods. Walking distance, ain't that true?
Or just go up one village later, I doubt it matters to Jorilo.
matters. I felt that it matters. It doesn't? It does. Did I take the wrong turn and I turned
into contradiction, an argument. If you want to climb fast enough correct habits, it doesn't
matter. Yeah, I mean, playing this teaches me about the visceral importance of correct
deer and boar placements and what not that's nice
okay so my landing time is gonna be
if you want to do probably wants to do minotaur mogging for max mogging you need 825 yeah
exactly
So I got there at 8.50, oh yeah, because idle time 22 seconds, and then my third minute
arms was a little late, but I'm still all the way here already anyway.
How long does minute arms upgrade take?
I can't tell from this.
Thank you, Earthship.
FullHawas says, hi, what is your favorite sieve?
I think I've played Ethiopians the most.
It doesn't necessarily mean it's my favorite, but I've played Ethiopians the most.
Hindustani's I've played them quite a bit but I haven't touched them in a while.
40 seconds, okay 40 seconds, 825.
So technically at 9.05 I can have Sordman in his base many times.
Has Kirby played Civilization series? Yeah dude, Civilization 2 played the crap out of that.
What a fun.
I played a little bit of Civilization V and I played Sif7 on VR.
Saracens. Eliburic.
Japanese militia attack, fastest starting in feudal. Yep.
I know, that's why I'm playing them.
It's pretty pog.
Ooh, we're getting lucky with the cast.
Yo!
Uh, Ecardio, thank you.
Guys, when I tell people to re-farm the same cow they're already farming, does that cost
me gathering time do you know like this animal this animal we're already hunting
it this one this one this one
no okay I had someone tell me that telling people to mind the same building
Or to build the same building they are already building.
Plus 25% production speed.
Someone on YouTube I think.
I'm sure or not.
Yes, but only for a split second.
Alright, so it's not really 25 by any stretch of the imagination, but it's...
It's a slowdown.
more like a quarter of a second I see
so I come to the 17 villager men's arms all in here because it's not dear
Arabia. So I'll do one more. Maybe click clicking... oh hello. Maybe click clicking... kept clicking
until it's built. Yeah, if you do that. But yeah.
Now I was stuttering a little bit.
You got the cow's seat where we can. Cows are better. Cows are the same,
though. They just have more meat. Less walking time.
I guess if you count the lack of walking time as a bonus from animal to
animal internal buffering yeah this is gonna cost me resources I can still try
fuck it
Okay, nice. Nice timing, actually.
I'm not sure where he is, I thought it was near because I saw the little gold there.
I thought the little gold meant something but...
Sire, our attack is a little delayed.
We couldn't find the enemy sire.
Yeah
The build said it's okay to skip Villager to get Fletching.
Double archery range, okay.
I don't have to rush fletching here then.
He's making archers.
Many sacrifices were made including eco upgrades and fletching, here's my fletching, got your
fletching right here.
okay okay yo thank you spending resources pretty good happy about that
I'm not sure it rains that armor is worth it here, I think it's better to castle-fast
There's nothing yet.
No fletching.
Oh, he did get his threat chain during that.
Okay, during that.
I think we could just kind of sit back.
I think we did a lot of damage.
If I could just wall off...
And age up, I'll be very happy.
of
the
of
I
I'm such a rusher.
Cheezer.
Oh
Yeah
Oh
Well held by him.
I need to make a couple of skirmishers.
He's definitely 1 TC, he has to be.
There's the other army, he forgot about it.
I
Nice game.
Exciting.
Can I get 2 months hours and another tier?
Oh
I don't know what I'm doing here, but I'm trying to find a way to get to the bottom of this.
I
Oh
We
Oh
There's a real sign of my macro.
I guess Scarver should beat this Arbalest, but I don't have the numbers.
I guess that's what's going on there.
No, I have the upgrades now.
I think I just don't have enough skirmishers here.
You can leave now.
Is Samurai good? I mean I have to fully upgrade it.
I'm trying to make Samurai.
Let's see what's in here.
I'm a little bit too heavy on wood, and not enough on food, because of all the upgrades.
He's using still nosed shoes to block my... oh hello.
block my spanish and shots
So, a hundred out of samurai, five pierce armor, and the damage?
What's this? Fordings?
2004 238
I mean he has... what? 114 villagers or what?
I guess I can make the ramps too, it's a good practice.
So December I have some kind of charge up attack.
I don't have time to read what they do.
He really refused to give up, huh?
Does he still have chance in games like that?
And what's I correct to make Samurai?
No, he's done.
At this point he doesn't.
Saracen can go longer with Market.
This is a Night Elf GG timing, by the way.
What elves have learned that they can win with just demon hunter?
So they never leave until they have zero units left.
It's insane.
He technically have better trash war, but you have too big relic advantage.
Yeah, and I only built that up really late.
And it's not in the best location, but at least it's under the defensive castle.
Samurai is an anti-unique unit.
acting as a champion, but not cost effective like one. Okay, so it was a bad resource sink,
right? I didn't have time to read it. Elite samurai 4530. He kept the score difference the same
for 50 minutes while losing ground. That's kind of wild. Yeah, I guess I just ran too many units in.
False attacking infantry with bonus attack against Unix gained 25% bonus move speed and plus one
attack when moving to attack an enemy unit within line of sight strong versus
most melee units we could get archers hand cannons attack delay okay what is
the charge up the charge up is gains move speed and attack yeah
at limited gold champions are better if you have infinite gold you have the
right to play samurai instead of champions however it's three champions
two samurai gold wise and six phantom assassin versus five phantom assassin
it's a bit of a strange
what shock infantry shock infantry is usually unique units oh pierce armor
70 14 1 1
80-12-1-1. Ah. Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah. Champions tank better, Samurai damage better, and they're
particularly good. So, I should say elite Samurai like Lundsknift from 804. By the way, I just
realized I don't have steel-capped rams. So, all these rams are made. Not it. Gambesons
This is the upgrade to give more armor. Yeah, I have gambesons, but only militia line and
fire lancers. Oh, right, okay, I see. Yeah, so my champies are gonna have plus one, uh,
pierce armor, comparatively. Ghost skirmisher versus double rage, if you don't play for
Fester Castle. Yeah. Yeah, this is an interesting game.
Grubby imagine a scenario where you are who tier three with expo going nights and gyros
You see worms all of a sudden do you continue with even more gyros or power build a billion?
Yeah, you still go gyros try to split your flying machine so that you don't take splash damage too much
It is true that dragon oak are like a hard character to
Frasworms, but if you already double racks double the flying machine
You can't really tech switch at that point on three bases. Yeah
If he didn't pose any credible threats, maybe, but it's better just to stick with flanks.
It's true that flanks don't have the particular amazing niche against worms, just like ratbiter's
aren't niche, like perfectly good against worms, but so long as you exaggerate the numbers
it's still gonna be okay.
Keep in mind, it's not just about whether the flanks will beat the worm, which if you
have seven flanks against one worm, I think they may not even win.
But if you have enough with flak cannon, like 14 will be 2, way harder than 7 will play against 1.
And it's also because the worm will need to 2 shot every flying.
So all that time he's not attacking knights.
And if he's focusing knights over focusing flying, then he's just trying to win the
ground war right then and there and then give up worm forever, you know what I mean?
How do you coil someone's ass in AV2?
You should get some coaching from Viper, he's also a greedy no-upkeep tech guy.
Yeah.
Okay, I stopped at 144 villagers, which is nice.
There's a lot to watch here.
Samurai Charge is like a movespeak buff. Right.
It's plus 1 or 2 attacks so nothing burger. Right, right, right.
Yeah, it just helps them a little bit to connect.
One second idle time TC.
Hey, Gaby, which game do you like better, Aoe2 or Aoe4?
Now for sure, Aoe2.
When I started playing Aoe4, I had never touched Aoe2, so I was amazed by many of the things
Aoe2 has as well, which is for resource economy management, it's so much fun.
It's a constant battle of balance, right?
So I love that in Aoe4, but of course, Aoe2 has that as well.
I didn't know that.
I mean, I knew that probably it will have it if you threatened me at gunpoint, but then
And also I'd be like, why are you asking a trivial question about two different games?
One of which is a two game later sequel at gunpoint.
Like you need to get a grip on life, man.
But anyway, the point is many of the things that I liked in a we four like similar, uh,
sieve differences, uh, economy balance, a we two as it as well.
Now, a we four has some areas where I think it outshines a we two.
But I think the battle and gameplay loop and the different, um, I think the battles are
more interesting in AOE 2 the same way that I think SC1 battles are more interesting than
SC2. Sometimes a gimmicky or let's say an
ult-dated engine leads to an interesting micro that you don't see in more modern
engines. Because it's made better, it's made worse. Just answer the question and pull
Simon back.
Menace the Society asks, are you also going to be trying other AOE games in the
future like AOM, RETOLD, or AOE3, Definitive Edition. I think it's interesting to see what
AOE3 is all about and why it gets the hate. It will be a very similar experience as playing
Darkest Dungeon 2. That's another game that disappointed many purists of the game that
was a disappointing sequel to many people, just like AOE3. I ended up really liking Darkest
2 and playing it for like, I don't know, 50 or 100 hours, but I could still see where
some of the criticism about not being a worthy successor came from, in that it did some things
differently.
So, yeah, it's, I think it's worth trying, but it's also good to remember, like, for
everyone that's wondering if I'll play this or that age game, my motivation to play RTS
games is to find competition and joy in that competition. And as a streamer, I can only
find competition in active games. It's no good to me to go into a scene with 17 players,
like no doubt Starcraft original without Brute War would be now, or Warcraft 3 Reign
of Chaos without Frozen Throne. And there's like two people that call themselves the King
of that game because they still play it but only 15 other people play. It's no good for
me to like start learning the game engine and set up the hotkeys and then practice for
100 hours just to join a scene of 15 people and then join the Twitch with a thousand viewers.
So I tend to play, like I tend to be able to enjoy a really large spectrum of RTS games
but it's only worth practicing them if you land into a fertile Twitch scene and a fertile
player-based scene. So they would really just be experimental visits like one-day visits,
Age of Mythology, Age of Empires 3. Yes, I want to implant my streamer seat into the
a fertile womb of viewers and players. That's right. Altly phrased, neurogeneric, but true.
Proverbially speaking chat. If Warcraft 3 had a low amount of players playing it,
would you still play it? It does have a low amount of players playing it. What do you mean?
if it's pretty low. But remember, if you listen to the whole part of what I said, is it worth
learning the game when it is so low? But I already learned the game Warcraft 3. I already
know how to play it. That's the difference.
So the reason the score could still be similar and he was able to launch such a furious counterattack
because I aged up with fewer villagers, no matter how many villagers I kill or how much
I disrupt his economy, I was down in villagers, four villagers fewer during aging up.
Aging up takes two minutes and four villagers will get 160 resources during that age up.
So whatever I do, I have to earn back 160 resources worth of self-delay.
Do you have any solo campaign games scheduled for the future, just grinding every two, working
three, etc.?
I think at the end of summer, when I get really busy with harvesting crops from the garden
and stuff and dehydrating them for the winter, I think it would make sense to go for a single
player campaign again, like one or two single player campaigns that are like 100 hours each,
we did last year with XCOM 2 and Darkest Engine 1 and 2. That was so good. In fact,
I'm kind of starting to get the feeling for it. I was listening to Giant Grand Games' video on
XCOM 2 where he just yaps about the game for 3 hours. But I would want it to be new ones though,
maybe XCOM 1. I mean not new, but new for me. Something I didn't play before. I don't think
I think it's a progress to go back to XCOM 2 and Long War and Darkest Engine 1 again.
What sort of game are you thinking about? I don't know yet.
I want it to be as good as Darkest Engine 1 and XCOM 2, but that's kind of hard, because
I already did the best ones, I think.
So, you can see that I am down some resources, interestingly, and I get one villager, which is nice, of course.
Well he did a nice small wall setup.
Did you play monster train?
Yeah.
Battlebrothers revisit?
I don't think in a jiffy.
XCOM Terror from the deeps?
Oh I heard about that in the giant grand games video.
The underwater rescane of the same game.
So if this was asked, do you intend to do more STS2?
Yes.
Yeah, STS2, definitely.
I will be focusing on Age of Empires 2 over the coming whatever, like a month or whenever
historian is and I will see so he's going double archery range the good thing is
I scouted it and so this is when I could choose to switch to skirmishers
Saracens market trading fee only 5% markets cost 100 less wood camel units
have bonus health. Mamiloc, cavalry, bimeriston, monks passively heal multiple nearby units.
How many?
23, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 0.
Everyone in the circle.
Oh, I see.
When is your first pro A.W.
2 tournament?
Pro?
And so I could switch to skirmishes here.
And if I did, I could just leave 2 on gold to trickle it up slowly, and so I don't walk
too many veils.
I could send like 3 to Berries now.
Send 3 to Berries, rally everything to wood, and keep making farms.
And then I could go skirmish.
Single archery range skirmish, get ready for castle.
By the way, he has 0 on food.
Saracens really is a lifestyle, huh? Where you don't need to learn the game the same way other people do.
Where you can get away with zero farms.
Resources gathered. Now I have 200 more. I killed only one villager.
He availed himself well at this point, I must say.
My Minotaur's push was very minimal, minimal effectiveness.
I have Fletching now, which I can somewhat leverage for an advantage, but because he's
double range with heavy gold attribution, he's actually going to get more and more units.
So even though I can kind of out micro him by range, he's going to quickly overwhelm me
with units.
And the Minotaur's Edition didn't do that much, because Archers can kite Minotaur so well.
So Archer Minotaur's is only marginally better than Archers against Archers.
It's kind of hard to...
I think maybe I should have just tried to slip them in, it's behind here, go in here.
Because they're just kind of like, yeah, I don't know where to go.
For solo you can actually up lumber first and have two farms before your first rage.
Up lumber first, okay.
I can't follow your short speak.
I have no idea what up lumber means.
It's important to 60, I'm still one video ahead.
Still we're gathering very similar resource count.
But suddenly, he's got a...
What happened here?
I got owned.
Why?
Oh, because he has both upgrades.
He has ranged armor.
That's...
No, he doesn't.
Hey, thank you, Woopie Woopie.
You microdownhill.
Did you know he's going archers, not skirmes?
Yeah, I was pretty sure that he did.
When you went more melee soldiers?
Did I really go more melee? How many minute arms did I make? More than three?
KD is equal now. I hear the counterattack stars and I had no walls.
This is my least favorite part of the game because I only had a marginal lead. I really
had to fight for this game. I had 200 resources gathered more and now I'm behind.
Wow this guy was a was a match did get the castle much faster
but he killed five villagers now he has 600 resources lead 20 archers too wow and I have
have no horse color. Here's the point where you need the skirms. So you think I shouldn't
have got Arbalest upgrades since I lost every archer anyway and just go skirms? I thought
you lose here? Yeah, me too. You did the same thing on the Skyrattack, you jiggle left and
right but you gave him the hill. I see. The hill is big. Guys, if you have 25% bonus damage
And you take 25% less, what is your total advantage?
52.5, 50%.
57.5, like how does your 120, I mean,
can you really put a percentage on it?
Because it's more about tipping points of,
I guess the true value is the tipping point
of amount of shots required to kill you.
66% advantage if you just expressed it as I'm 125 you're 75 yeah I do 25 more I
take 25 less so I am 125 you're 75 that would be a 66% advantage it's really
big yeah I'd micro you with market but you out my grim heart yeah because I
I lost 5 villagers and villagers behind.
The cavity double-raises single-raised scurms defense, but Saracens melt defenses.
That's why Saracens like double-raised.
What do you mean they melt defenses?
Fet archers and scurmatures have plus 2 attack against buildings.
Because of this?
Ahhhh.
Ah, that's why he breaks through walls and houses quite fast.
So he has triple damage!
Triple!
Palisade armor is only 5, so against Palisades it's not triple, because Crossbow is a 7.
So it's 50% more damage against Palisades, going from 2 to 3, and going from 1 to 3 against
other buildings, right?
So it's 50% more, 200% more.
And it's also plus 2 bonus damage, so it would be unaffected by armor.
Right, so they're doing 3 against steel capped rams, you mean.
I think it goes from 2 to 4 against Palisades.
Okay.
Does it?
That makes sense.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
That's it.
It makes sense. Yeah, exactly. It should go from 2 to 4 against Palisades and 1 to 3 against buildings.
But does it work against siege units? No, it's against buildings, not against ramps.
Are there any buildings with 8 pierce armor?
2 to 4 against Balasit, so they melt the fences.
Ok, so I always need a fighting army against Saracens.
Ok, that's good.
Hey, Grobius, I just finished watching the Warcraft 3 stream on YouTube.
That was awesome gig work setting up. Thank you so much Stan Clancy alt. Didn't know you watched me.
It's the Twitch CEO.
What ADPOP? For ACCM?
It's ACCM.
I can't believe it. What a banger of a game.
Is ACCF turning it like Hera?
Someone said I think it actually goes from 2 to 5?
really yeah I need to check that your argument is it's too with the normal
damage versus armor part and the plus two is always done
all right well let's check it once and for all because I've had this question
many times before
Let's just check it, I need to know.
You can never count people out and it's just such an entertaining final and I'm making
some more money here we got some gifted subs in, yes let's go ACCM.
He's saying is he for sure?
Okay.
Let's just fast forward until we get to the Palisades and we'll look at the damage.
We'll take a little bit.
I just want to see if Saracen archers do 5 or 4 damage against Palisades.
Because not so far all said that bonus damage bypasses armor, which we all know is true.
But he therefore alleged that if you do two baseline, because you do seven against five,
then the extra...
I don't know.
Hey, thank you so much.
I'm bound.
Let's just see.
Crossbow is five plus two.
It should be one versus houses, so it's plus two.
Well first house this is three and first balisades should be four, I just want to see, because
you said that it's going to be five against balisades, I don't understand how that would
be the case.
I remember about to see it.
i had ballistics all this time and he didn't that helped a lot
i think ballistics saved me
okay okay okay
okay chat
a marbeth lizard thank you for the forty seven
uh... the sarasen bonuses plus three not plus two which is the quirk of how
numbers work
it's just plus two though
Oh my god, he is doing 5 damage.
What the fuck?
Make it make sense.
5 plus 2 is 7, plus 2 is 9.
5 armor.
9 against 5 is 5.
GG.
GG. Fix your tooltips, Blizzard.
Let's see.
Thank you. Not so far. That's good. That's really good info.
By the way, before we find game, or did we find game?
the queue leave no all right we can still do this there's so much space man why are
they all go on the same one
they can only fit if some stand and some sit
higher is better
oh hey thank you wet meadow appreciate it
let's go over here
nahi
do you have a different siv preferences for any maps? no i'm not that advanced
i'm still very experimental i'm trying to get better at like some sivs
but i don't i don't think like i have any mains or any go-to for certain maps
That's a lot of rabbits.
There's a lot of fools.
There's a boar.
I can go search him already, which is like crazy early, by the way.
crazy early that I can leave my base by a minute to it feels early anyway
We'll have all the information we need, Sire.
I thought of Fast Castle UU. Yeah, I tried it. It's been pretty disastrous so far.
Fast Castle Unique Unit. But it's fun to try, right?
I'm just not very good at it at all yet.
Yeah, I have tried.
Relics.
Okay, we're very close.
It's times like this we have to be extra careful.
Ooh.
Let's see.
Okay.
Let's see...
Ah, where's the gold? Over there.
Quickly hiding his sheep.
That was horrible for me, I can't believe I got destabilized by a little scout.
I scout AFK all this time.
I saw everything I needed to see it.
Oh
of
Oh, yes. Hi. What's the secret?
that's so funny
I
Oh
I
I just did the latest on that
Will follow the rules over the
sure
Definitive
What the fuck?
the
Castle.
Come on, let's go!
Run!
Hurry!
What are you doing?
Come on, let's go!
Come on, run!
What are you doing?
Hurry!
Come on, let's go!
What are you doing?
Come on!
I
What do I do against the crazy guy with the axe?
Arch is still okay?
Okay.
Oh, let's do a castle somewhere.
Oh
Nice.
Nice inner-out.
Oh, he finally got the upgrade.
He fought before upgrade, that was a big mistake.
Oh
is there any stone around this thing?
And you know, that's all from me.
I'll see you next time.
I'll see ya later.
Bye!
Oh, I'm sorry.
Bye!
He's waiting to run over me with like a million.
uh... Cavalier
sneak peek
of
Funny how well Spears can take down building once you have fully upgraded, arson and everything.
People really don't like leaving, but it's fine.
It just shows how tenacious the AoE 2 scene is, like how everyone has learned over the
years to never give up and the people that are still playing AoE2 have that mindset because
of how many times they threw a lead and to a lesser degree came back from a very bad
situation. Remember Spear with extra attack speed? Yeah, yeah, it's very good, right?
Because I get the infantry attack faster. It's very nice. I also apparently have cavalry
archers plus two attack against anti skirmishers archers, non skirmishers archers. So I'm perfectly
fine playing CA as well. My cavalry archers have bonus attack against enemy archers. Then
I have Unitek Yasama and Kataparuto. Trebuchet is fire 33% faster. Oh, so my trebuchets are
almost like bombards. Japanese CA very good. Okay. They have like all upgrades as well.
Okay, so I should do them more, because I have Parthen Tactics, which is unusual, we
can have a Cavalry Archer, which is not always there, then we have full 3-3, and we have
that.
Okay, so we can definitely play more CA.
So maybe swap into CA already instead of Arbalest.
But the amazing thing is we have Arbalest too.
Just know who's are.
Yeah, so Spear are always going to be my favorite trash, which makes raiding more difficult.
I guess that's the Japanese weakness.
Rating is more difficult.
Anyway, bloodline.
We have everything, yeah.
And that's why you want CA because they can raid.
I'm not going to lie, those caps in the walls
were worrying a lot.
This one here, then there's one here, this one here.
You should try towers with Japanese.
Is there a video that summarizes what Yusama does?
Yasama.
Yasama Tower.
Ah, I found a recent video from Spirits of the Law.
Yasama and Aroslitz in A32, 10 years ago.
Guys, it's a wonderful day today because this video is going to feature a lot about my favorite
civilization to play the Japanese.
I'm going to be taking a look at towers in the HD expansions and not only the giant
Ares, but also the new aeroslitz technology that all civilizations have.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to listen to this music, so I'll play it on a...
Play it out on the other here.
He talks about it in a more recent video, oh, top towers, this one, he's orating better
Okay, now.
So,
era,
Hmm.
Yeah.
Oh, really?
However, yes I'm off.
Oh my god, the way they did this falling stone downwards instead of having some kind of wonky
forward shooting projectile, it's so nice attention to detail, look.
Okay, I never get these upgrades.
I never get guard tower and keep upgrades and I rarely ever get architecture or arrows
slits. But this is a new dimension of the game that I need to discover. Guard tower.
So do they all upgrade the standard tower, the standard fire tower, or are they all different
building blueprints? They all come forth from the same one. Okay, it all starts with the
plus 50% damage for the unit with 6px armor
yeah it's true it's caliber
It's weird that this is called a keep, though, chat.
Can you appreciate that I played AoE 4, where castles are called keeps, presumably to separate
them from Castle H, even though it's logical to have castles in Castle H. There they are
keeps.
And now the third upgrade of a guard tower is a keep.
Ugh.
And keep is the second upgrade of the main base in Warcraft 3 in human.
And it's not even called keep tower, it's called a keep.
Watch tower, guard tower, bomber tower, Yasuma tower, keep.
Oh, Georgians! Georgians have Gryphon Towers! Pass through damage. Vertical Cleave.
Damage per minute. Oh my god, the Japanese are the best. Why no sound on video? There
is, but you're watching on YouTube. I don't know if I have the music rights. Whenever
Before you listen to music from another YouTube creator, you don't know if you have the rights.
You do not have the right.
Oh, you do not have the right.
Oh, that's fine.
Yasumatao are good, okay?
Yasumata are very good.
Now I need to figure out the cost.
I won already, right?
Alright.
Do we check the value of the rush again?
But why would I make Yashima towers if I'm in Castle Age?
Because they're just really cost efficient and the cost is the same as a normal tower, right?
Because it's just an upgrade of them so the cost will remain, but is it 75, 125?
watchtower 35 125 so the watchtower becomes a guard tower automatically
when I've got our upgrade it's really expensive to take into before mid-aim
you plan to use it without garrison I don't know wait where's yasima oh my
god oh that's a whole progression watch star into guard tower into keeping the
bomber tower holy shit wait but bomber tower is its own unit and keep us the
final progression of watch tower but where does yasmar come in they're all
yasma you're yasma I'm yasma
300, 300 health 850, 517, 8 to 1.
Guard tower has the same range, 2 more damage, 1 more melee armor, 1 more pierce armor, almost
double health.
attack rate same line of sight. Better against buildings. Special gains 170 health in castle
age. Oh. Keep. Gains another 750 health. One damage, one melee armor, one pierce armor,
no range requires keeping university requires keep upgrade from university requires guard
tower from university so there's not much point going Yasuma and then stay on watchtower
I would at least want to be Gartower. Gartower Yasuma, no?
So how much did I fuck him over?
With the towers?
A lot, right?
Hey, thanks for the prime! Appreciate it, brother.
Thank you for the support.
First one a lot of rest XD
I should have walled the first one
look resources gathered guys I'm 700 ahead
I killed two villagers I have 33 against 33
why is my village account only three ahead
when I killed four oh because I have wheelbarrow
oh yeah I got house like crazy that's okay I got wheelbarrow
I did forget double bit and horse collar oops I was horsing around over here
so he's getting stoned because he's feeling pushed I should have walled all
the way around this this is an unacceptable omission nice stab nice
stab by him your opponent is awful idle to see as well yeah it's not good not
good he was pressured guys what do you guys think about this one this is XD but
look how much idle time his wills had what's this worker efficiency in the
last minute 53%. I didn't mean going for Yasumot only as your main plan. In the
late game when you have a ton of stone in the bank, you can just spam Yasumot
Towers to win trash fights and so on. I like it. I like it. Thank you. I guess you
could say I never really gave away the advantage in the game with how much
resources I gathered. The only thing is he had Imperial faster than me and I
I still felt that I went for Imperial pretty fast.
His basics weren't that good.
He made knights well though, he clicked knights many times.
And Castle was a good defense.
He overcommitted into your pikes.
Yeah, but Frank players, they don't know about the counter system.
only know about about making knights it's the same in every four they don't
even know what pikes are just that they don't have ours
the both castle age and imp was really delayed in this game I felt it was so
fast though shiggin I was really proud of how fast I imped
a normal situation you can do counter tower yeah because I've brought only two
villagers you can just counter tower with five or ten yeah CA yeah yeah yeah
sounds good okay we're against Vikings
What is she?
Save impotence?
Oh yeah.
Alright, if you're listening, sorry I said your mechanics aren't that good, your basics.
You're a very good French spammer.
He waited nicely until I was ready to Q again.
Oh my god!
There it is. Okay, we're fine.
Hey guys, it really wants me to get towered.
How about I give you no backwood
Back wood.
It's just missing. That's crazy. Crazy aggressive.
So I have to play crazy aggressive.
I have to be a maniac.
I like that when you click
click boar it has priority clickage
idle time like 8 seconds
We're getting close, uh, no necessary action.
This is my own gold, I think.
here.
Stone?
We're close.
I'm glad to be here.
Hey.
Thank you.
Hey, nice.
Shit, I'm in the spear.
Thank you, thank you, bro.
Oh
Thank you for this up.
Thank you Source Code, League and A9s.
Let's cancel this.
I got arson.
Oh
Yeah sir.
Castle timing 17, really good.
Really good castle time.
Let's not make any more archers.
Let's go for... nice.
Am I making a stable save?
Let's go all the way back home.
We need horse collars still.
Come on.
Horse collar, come on.
Um, am I safe?
Nope.
I'm not safe at all.
He could be messing with this as well.
Ah shit.
What is she?
Now what?
Shit, I'm going stables without wood!
I have no wood!
It's because everything that should have been getting wood, is instead.
Ah, fuck.
Oh my god.
Alright. I made a few small mistakes.
What do I do? Got a whole bunch of useless upgrades too.
Alright buddy, I got crossbows, now get out of here.
I wanted to go stables man!
Now I was forced to go crossbows.
I have nothing now the whole lead I built up ruined lol yeah I'm sure get
You can go samurai? Yeah! What's the point?
Such a bitch location.
Oh god.
Yes, we're playing Samurai.
Oh, that's no good Samurai, I guess this.
Oh my god.
Didn't even make another town center, I'm literally...
Like making myself loose.
I don't even have a market so I can fix my horrible economy.
oh my god I don't have stone why where did my stone go oh yeah I made a castle
have it. Atlantips in Cavalry Arch. Fuck it, I'll make some samurai.
Okay, I should have felt skirmishers ages ago.
Okay.
Nice one.
Ooh, samurai with one armor upgrade. I have two of them.
That was an amazing throw.
That was most horrible.
Oh my god, he's so good at the samurai!
Oh
Make it look
I
Oh
That's a nice throw by me
Oh
So I just go next
GG we can easily win still we'll just go next
Yeah, well he was 1 to see all along or what? That's crazy. Well, I did a lot of damage to myself
Yeah, it's all good. It's all good. Try move. Thank you for the prime, bro.
What food do you crave and grumble the most? Crab legs?
Hmm.
I don't know, I'll be like craved the most.
I don't know.
Okay, this map is weird
I guess I'll just do the same build as usual and try not to
to worry too much about the foxes for now and then I'll worry about it later
oh my god last game I randomly started gathering stone without a real purpose
This and trade workshop.
Some cows there.
You haven't found the other cast.
Where are the other cast?
Or do I have them already?
I think I have everything.
That's all I'm going to get.
Yeah, that's all I'm going to get.
Horrible wood?
Yeah, it's part of the map.
Chicken game.
tons of foxes for forward range
hmmm...ahhh
I see
so you do the forward range
and you kill foxes while you're there
I see, I see, clever
a clever stratagem, sir
I don't think that's good for him.
No I lost last game.
I had a really bad follow up.
There he is, alright.
Wait, there's stone here, but where's he?
Oh wait, this is part of the path.
I'll get rid of this.
I'm
she
it's a little bit
I can
I
I'm going to kill you.
What?
Alright, I'm going to kill you.
You got me, that's all you wanted.
Oh
Oh, he's Japanese too! Brother! Why do we fight each other? Let's just unite the clans.
No wonder he's making so many man-in-arms!
Okay
It's funny that they count as gold villagers when they kill wolf.
Ah
Shit, he has upgrade
you like what you see buddy
I
that
only six on foot
Suddenly all my food fell away.
Oh, I thought I heard more alerts, okay
This map is so much fun.
Well played by him.
the idea how much I lost from her
oh my god the sounds oh
Oh
Oh my god, he really didn't deal with that well, sorry, still have a chance.
and he's still feudal right
Oh
We need now.
You must be a male.
Oh, so you are.
You are what the shit.
I think I think I.
Oh, oh, oh.
We need to get out of here.
I have good upgrades, he's had a second town center for so much longer.
got a couple of horse archers trying to horse around a little bit
Yeah, you just missed everything, blind idiots.
Oh my god, he's got so many town centers.
somehow score is okay, I don't know how
I finally have all my horse upgrades, still need ball sticks
I'm getting it now.
So much gold here.
You
I
I don't know how I'm still in the game, but somehow I am.
I'm all right.
No surprise on that.
I
Oh, there he is.
Hey, thank you so much for the rate here, uh, who won?
I'm kinda making comeback here, Japanese versus Japanese, honorable battle.
Very difficult game.
Thank you.
I like everyone. Ah nice. Only here I can stop him.
I need to make another castle.
Now I have some knights to buffer against the scurns, which is nice.
Oh, I have upgrade on Knights actually.
Oh, I don't have this yet.
It's expensive.
900-500, let's see.
There it is.
There it freaking is.
I can't believe we're coming back to this game, guys.
This game was so dire, I was about to leave, but then I thought, what did soda popping
say?
Never give up, never surrender, never let them see your forfeit.
Yes! Yes! GG!
Who would have said that? Soda popping. Oh my god! This was so hard!
This was so hard.
I was so close to leave. Go gravies at the Hera. Thanks, Hera.
Hey, wait, headliner!
Headliner!
The headliner.
I'll try my best LeMau.
Once again, headliner.
Let's go. Alright, man.
I gotta say, you're a good headliner there, headliner.
It's literally a game when you do the night off thing.
Yeah. Nice turnaround.
Thanks, thanks.
Finally done with Hera's Soy Stream now for the headliner.
for the headlining. Sarah, Sarah, really great. Top chatter, message eaten by Hera.
Oh my god, that game chat. We're climbing back in MMR2, by the way. Look at this, we're
so far behind. He had three relics, we had two, we got a lot of gold from that, we both
explored 90% he had more gold more stone we had more food wood oh but you
got to see this are you only playing a we today yeah yeah yeah I should do I
should start with some warcraft into a we but I only have like six to seven
hour streams and I'm so far behind some people in the age of empires practice
time so yeah I want to practice as hard as possible never give up all right
check this out chat check this out okay so game starts as all games start we're
in the red he's in the blue she sorry we're in the red she's in the blue I
I didn't know she was Japanese as well, so I was going for my patented, my completely
not patented, Hera, 17 villager Japanese mandatory arm thrush.
Super fast, mandatory lore 2 deer, there is no deer but I still got there because I did
boars. What's the building in the middle? Yeah, Leedspade's content. It's okay.
Trying to learn O2 to enjoy the tournament more.
Yeah.
GLH.
Ah, thank you, thank you. That's the way to do it. So, I'm going for early Barak, and
so is he. And I'm aging up with a small 19 second idle time, 17 villager. And he is also
So a little idol or what? No, he made a villager afternoon, and then he feudaled.
So I'm earlier feudal, I'm making my Minotarms, and I'm moving out.
And little does he know that I have the high ground.
And I thought, yeah, I attack faster, good for me, because I'm Japanese.
But then I thought, hmm, his Minotarms seem kind of strong too.
he's also a sif the benefits from Minotaurm's upgrades and guess what she
was there's no bonus in Dark Age oh no bonus in Dark Age right yeah 33% from
feudal onwards so I got into the Minotaurms a little earlier but I and
we both have idle TC classic right now I'm up a villager but she made more
militia so we're just kind of touching each other with the tips of our swords
And I made a forward archery range because I still didn't realize he's Japanese
And she made a defensive archery range
We started fighting and it didn't go as well as I would hope but I won the fight
4-4 KDA let's go the draw very equal resources
All right game goes on. I try to find some holes
I had delayed my double bit axe which Harris Guide said is okay.
Goes in with the scout from the side.
I struggle to deal with his archers and he takes a positive military KDA.
I'm now 200 points behind.
This map woodline is atrocious.
Absolutely atrocious.
I'm mining out here started the new camp over here. So I'm very exposed. He cleverly
Goes way deep to get a mill on some berries. Okay, send scout to attack here
Here you eat a war tower you can't there's stone everywhere you literally are unable to come
maybe tower
she has three-minute-twenty idle time on the on the town center and I'm still
behind I don't know why I'm behind in villagers oh because she killed wait a
minute wait wait wait wait how did she kill four villagers and I lost six did I
get ganked by a bear or something oh yeah I did get wheelbarrow which is at
nice so she really really committed nine archers eight skirmishers I have eight
skirmishers and then she has one one upgrades I have one one but I castled
so much earlier but then I didn't realize for a while that she has units
here this is like the second arrival of it so bad lost so many units all right
I'm nine villagers down I'm at 31 against 44 guys it's over okay just give it up
right I did get a quick boss hall which is very very doubtful value when you
have only 10 villagers on wood I don't think I should have done it
you're ahead right now says gurgle I'm 33 villagers against 44 with no wood I
have a standing army of 20 skirmishers which is a lot he has no army anymore
Okay, so how am I going to use my skirmishers? And where are they?
And now my score got ahead again. It's okay to boss talk to your contact shirt TC anyway, that was my thinking.
Alright, then she cleverly went for knights. Oh yeah, this was crazy.
Wait, we missed my first skirmishers attack actually.
We had knights cleaned up, that's so sad.
So the moment I see knights and all I have is scurms, I should make monastery? Monk?
Well here I started horse archers.
Resources gathered, I have 1000 more.
Four veils behind, I'm getting everything.
Thumb ring, gold mining, leather armor, heavy plow.
She has 2TC already.
She's still producing villagers for like 5 minutes, she has 10 minutes.
10 minutes!
But look, I've got knights everywhere, I can't wall off my base.
She's making a 3rd town center.
I'm back to 40 villagers, she killed 21.
should still be over. I can't even kill a villager to save my life. Her defense was
so much better. She defended the two flanks in the back with the town center.
Now she has skirmishers against horse archers getting more raids. 22 villager
kills, I'm 48 against 52. What's the building in the middle? If you capture this
she gained money. It's called the trade workshop. Fourth Town Center chat. But of
course she has 20 minute IOTC. It's not real. She has seven on food while making
nights and having four Town Centers. These Town Centers feel like weak Town
Centers. Someone that made them because they had too much stone and wood. Very
similar as in Warcraft 3 when someone goes Tier 3 without any intent to use it.
But I guess you can see them as garrison buildings, small little castles, equal villagers 63 each.
food you go for one to see? Yeah. And no knights. Oh, look at this! She tried to make
a castle here. No you don't.
Guys, do you think they made horse archers have such a long wind up attack to punish
them? Otherwise their mobility is too good. It makes sense. They feel kinda bad to micro,
but they will be too good if you can shoot immediately and move. In such situations you
You can buy some food to make villages for a short term.
Yeah, true.
She should have.
And maybe I should have too.
Yeah, my guitar is faster.
You'd have my frame delay.
It used to be faster.
Oh, really?
Your TC's don't really defend key resources or defend access to the base.
Yeah, where do you think I should have had them?
I mean, my TC is defending gold a little bit.
And the second one is defending stone.
I just try to scramble to find any resources at all.
It's defending this gold.
The map has a lot of hills.
This is the second time I played on Valpine, by the way.
The first time I ragequit in three minutes.
Because I don't like being put on a new map
where I don't understand the concept or the generation.
uh... i think left to see should be more right down
i think what i made this i was being hunted down by nights
that influence my decision where to make it i couldn't build it closer to go up
because of the hills
and there's no valuable resources here
so i think it's a good location
the main difference between
me and her is that
she made a lot of relevant
mini walls. I could still find holes everywhere in her defenses but it still forced my movement
in certain ways. But guys, it's so OP by the way. There is a stone path in the middle to my base
whereas the closest side of her side to me was her side and the stone path is on the right.
It's OP.
She has a better stone wall because it's to the side.
It's so imba.
So you won with handicap, great, yeah true.
Idol time with the hell?
Well when you make mini tc's as like mini castles like 5 tc's you're gonna get idol
time like that.
She has 3 on food.
Ohhhhhhh I see.
That's why my army kept growing and hers didn't.
So she got really fast imperial but only has 67 villagers with 50 minute idol time.
13 on food, never really got better, whereas I actually got expanded farm economy.
Okay, now I understand more how I was able to win and why there were so few units.
And even so, it still took me too long to make knights against someone that was on skirmishes
for so long.
And then when I finally got the knights, it got a lot easier and I was able to deal with
three trapezeys because she had no units.
little horse archer over here denying some villagers. Alright, now I understand why we want better.
But that was messy.
Idol time only counts for two town centers? Oh really?
Really? Idol time only counts for up to two town centers.
That's why CA is way better than Skirm on paper. Skirm is better but see it doesn't
doesn't cost food for villagers
true
no that's false
false false, idle time counts for old TC's, wrong
that's not true, also he's wrong
okay, so he's wrong, he's stupid
he's lying, false
there we go
How many days in a row do you guys use the same water cup at the PC?
Like a week?
A week?
Two?
One?
Thirty-two?
One?
times. But not because I like bad hygiene, but because I'm lazy. So that's a better reason.
Yes! Alright, let's go! Thank you, Tigran. That's what I'm talking about, baby.
If I got that offer every time, I would never lose.
That boar seems very mobile.
I found all the sheep, it's a chicken game, I found the boar.
wood because I'm a chat surely it's not going to get punished
Oh, there's a guy.
Person TC Drop. That would be bad.
oh my goodness you see chickens could be somewhere here almost minus one uh yeah
Okay, it's not bad in here.
Relic wouldn't be in this place.
Gold?
Gold sniffer?
Small gold?
come on tell me tell me Gandalf where is he
Roll.
Where the fuck is he?!
Sorry.
the
Okay.
Cg!
Connects!
It's okay, let's just make a comeback.
horrible, I just want to go next but score wise it's whatever so
He mugs me so hard I feel Morgan everything
It doesn't feel good.
I don't even know how the score can be similar.
i guess it's just lying
your liars for
I don't know man, I lost everything and somehow score is the same, that's so funny.
he knows that i'm making archers so i'm gonna cancel them
thank you bro, appreciate it
alright
i got a bunch of farms, thank you so much warp 1, oh wait wait wait, 5 give subs if i win
no leave, no leave
5 kills, that's baby, let's go.
I need blacksmith.
I have one skirmisher, it's gonna win.
I'll just make some scouraces that they'll never know.
And they can also benefit from the impending fletching.
Oh by the way, I'm noticing the lack of double bit-to-axe a lot.
Oh my god, he reacted so fast.
GG. Yes! GG! Game over nerd!
Oh, he made a massive wall, eh?
He's scared.
No upgrades.
Doesn't even know Skirmish is stuck for no upgrades.
Oh
The warning shot
still no upgrades
Oh
You know what I'm saying?
I'm not gonna let you get away with this.
You're gonna do it too?
Go!
I'm gonna!
Okay, I got it.
Good, good.
What?
Oh, I got it.
What?
I got it.
Hey.
I
what's that the big sound excuse me
It's going to be a nice, it seems okay.
It's a full wall, surprisingly.
What's my CC locations?
Oh
Maybe the mass TCL is a bit too much.
right before my upgrades kick in
Oh god, I'm in noblestates.
Ah, fucking...
Oh no.
Oh, deserved.
Holy shit.
I made a few small eco mistakes.
You think he has enough to do another?
What the fuck is this villager attack, dudes?!
I just remember a unit.
I
What the fuck?
Is that a get the fuck out of the game, TC, or what is this?
Oh
All right GG, I'll play it.
I got mocked pretty hard, early game was not good, minute arms, the militia all ran into
his town center and whatnot, go next.
Man, 1500 healer seems so good, yeah I hear it got a lot better than before.
Hey, but I didn't win!
Thank you Tygrim, he's still the champ, thank you very much.
It seemed alright until the ambitious production at the end of the way to castle.
Yeah I thought 3 stables, 3 archery range.
Let's just see which one we need.
That guy was insanely good. Yeah, he was. Felt like a smurf.
All you made, G.O.H.F. from Bandra, you played this guy three times today?
This guy is a, most likely, a stream meeting coordinator.
I played him, watched replay and then he was still there right afterwards in an
insta-q
it's time to push the deer in
which is ostriches this game
I saw everything I needed to see with the
creatures
Uh, wood. It's a funny wood line, but it's in the back, so that's probably good.
Uh, do we think he's stream sniping during the game?
I didn't get any weird fights.
Might just be a Q sniper.
Which, uh, I don't have any problems with.
The only annoying thing about queue snipers is if they're also smurfing or deranking or something, but if they're not, that's totally fine.
We just add each other to elo and we meet slightly more frequently than expected.
Max is up in height. Yeah, we're 1-1, so it doesn't feel like it feels realistic, that's
Where is the other boy? I saw it, but I lost it.
I put too many villagers inside, alright this is not ideal, all good.
Terrible horrible, is it though?
It's not that big of a deal.
I'll go to 18 villagers though.
I'll go slightly more economic, because I'm not sure I'm going to be able to make ends meet at this rate.
And also, my barracks wouldn't be down on time, so...
Okay, idle time at the lasso feels okay.
Okay, fine.
I don't know where he is.
Okay
normally I don't like to suicide like this but this opportunity was too good
bit late on the blacksmith
smith. I shouldn't show him what I'm doing next because I think his scout is dead.
I can't click it behind the building!
Okay, Flushing is coming.
Oh my god, he's got problems with the animals too.
He found very few sheep.
It's not going well.
Oh, I see.
Ah, warning shot.
Oh, I see.
Ah, warning shot.
Awesome.
It's over, bro.
It's over. You can leave.
I'll collect the gift-sups.
His skirmishers don't need this.
He's gonna keep producing, right?
Because he thinks the attack is gonna keep coming.
So if we don't, we're actually playing into his worst fairies.
Okay.
I will find your hole and I'll put something in it.
Very close to being able to level up.
He does have two upgrades.
lumbar camp.
We'll borrow, we have plenty of farms to make it worth it.
Stopping farm for a day like that, kind of painful huh?
I think you wanted to build something there.
Where's he gonna build it instead?
He's gonna build it somewhere else.
Oh
Wait, I saw a Hera video where he coached someone, he said you should save the low knights.
He was very proud of the guy, until the guy suicided all his knights.
I want to make her a prize.
Hey, thank you for this up.
I don't know what happened with my rally, but okay.
What would be the logical follow-up here guys?
Because it looks like people don't leave when you flood knights and make them hopeless.
Uh, rams?
Okay, but then spears will just kill it. I don't see that working.
Maybe I like imagination forward. Castle drop is
main TC. Okay. I need stone for that chat. It's kind of like heal solving your units
if you use monk. It's like playing Orc.
I'm jumping his tree.
Like this?
Oh, but just the castle didn't finish.
Okay, man.
You
People don't leave games!
main goal behind oh main oh yeah you're right
Oh, I still have knights.
Does he know?
He tried to pitart it to me.
Hey, I should have pitarted him, too.
That's so funny.
Can't I just run it down?
DG. Alright. So, if you are running all over someone and you have more than double their
score, 6700 against 3K, you start doing forward castle, you have knights against spears, but
you've got him mugged in income, forward castles, and imperial. Is that it? There must be easier
way. Because rams are annoying because then the spears can kill the rams, but maybe I
I should just be winning. Hey! Thank you for the 5 gifts at the only brand.
Uh, Meganelle Push works. It never works for me, Meganelle Push.
15 ice can run down the TC. Okay, okay.
How are your strawberries doing? They're starting to grow.
They're like really small and green right now, but they're gonna get big and red.
Possibly play a Night Sif then?
I'm already playing a Night Sif.
Japanese.
Why did you choose Japanese?
Good voice lines.
Good food.
Good cavalry archers.
Decent knights.
Nice minute arms rush.
And they even go deep in the archer line.
Like I feel like Japanese have everything.
Everything you would want.
I even get galley line of sight. Castle of the main gold, not the town center.
Yeah, someone said castle is town center. But yeah, when I have night control, I guess
I should just keep him really small and that's how I should think. I should find all the
golds and castle all of them. I don't think enough in resource asphyxiation. Like, I want
to go and kill him, but he wouldn't leave. What do you do for your back after several
hours of gaming? Well, I have a Herman Miller. I haven't had back issues ever since I had
one. Before that I did. Sounds like such a fucking sellout. They did give it to me for
free, but I wouldn't be selling out for them if it wasn't true years later for a single
for a single chair.
Yeah, well, good chair, good bed, best things you can do for
yourself. And you don't need a room in the middle. But I tried
10 different chairs. I never found one that's good long term,
doesn't break, not the fake leather that starts coming off
like skin and sunburned areas. Like if you find good, good, good
chair good guys my secret labs chair and six my vacations nice did you find
the hermeneutics contributes to indoor dust because of mesh grinding your clouds
no no and I never heard I never seen that question before I'm kind of
wondering if I should go for another or if I should just head off it's it's a
little late but if it's like not too long of a game maybe we could map export
oh he was really blind is about to 113 villages against 47 it's always use
dust under a Herman Miller suspected because of mesh really I don't know
you sure it's not dust on you and the Herman Miller just shaped it off
You see how their mouth is open, they're panting, it's because they're hot.
Have you thought of maybe not stacking on each other?
Like Legos?
Well, very smart, huh?
You have a different hermeneutics than they're saying, girl, do you mean the Erron?
Ah, yeah.
Yeah, I have the Embodied.
Are those your chickens?
Alright, you convinced me, Chad.
One more.
Last one.
You drive a hard bargain.
Here we go.
Arabia.
Here we go.
Arabia.
We could try Scout Rush first.
We could try Scout Rush opening instead of Minutarm's.
Very different flow.
I'm significantly worse at it, but I can try.
Scouts into skirmishers.
Not particularly special with Japanese, there's no eco advantage.
The embody, Khan OPL.
I want to buy the best of three first on Aoe2 and then on Warcraft 3 against Hera.
There's no need for a best of anything.
We would give each other no chance at all in our own games of expertise.
It's not even close.
We have a 0.0001% and it's only there because of disconnects.
I've standardized my scouting pattern and it feels very comfortable.
I feel like it has become more efficient and more fast.
My dog is currently staring at me, he thinks the last game already came and went.
Oh no!
Type 1 if you want Logan to go hungry and wait for one more game.
Step 2 if you want another game.
Wait.
Those options are false.
They're false.
They're both...
look away for one second and grab a karsupon
I don't want Lugnit to go hungry but I want another game
alright alright alright here we go
Last game, Logan.
Last game.
Isn't Logan always hungry though?
Yeah, he always wants to eat.
High five if you want to eat.
One more.
Nice one.
I get to enter the switch safes.
I play like 10 different safes.
Ethiopians, Japanese, Hindustanese way, Chinese.
I could play Romans or Vikings. They're not that special, right?
Malay.
But I haven't played a lot of like dedicated cavalry saves yet.
I was done locked for a second.
It's like, what am I supposed to do, oh yeah, houses.
I went for the quick moor because we're against fun police, mongols.
Put these over here, put a little mining cap on the trees.
Alright, we successfully got our own resources.
got him patented off yep that's why we practice
I'm sure that I want to play a minute arms rush against Mongols better just to
defend no wall off skirmishers and walls I already made the mill so I can't do
the normal version anyway. Do it? I'm not sure if it's good. I think I'm just going
a wall and skirm. It's still good, but it's too late. Too late to apologize. Killed too
stupid about spot though I have no information maybe I should skybrush
Get my gold early just in case I get harassed.
I hope so.
Make one spear.
I think I'll be using this in the tournament.
Hey, uh, Hera.
Hera is.
I'm not even sure I needed the spear, but I guess if he goes for a deep dive, he might
still want it. Look at the score difference, it's insane, but of course a lot of it is
scouting. No still archery? Yeah, I'm gonna make archery range. I'm kind of fast
gasoline. I'm being a bit greedy with this. I suppose I should make like five
skirmishers or I could just get done my son Ben will come and do you
the video I saw makes more sense to be solid
I'm surprised he didn't attack at all, maybe he's just fast cancelling because he's happy
with the fact that I'm complete.
I can't move out with scurbs.
I don't think this is going to end well for me, chat.
Arguably it's already ended.
Grubby, can you teach me how to not see three please and thank you?
Sure.
Make heroes.
Greet them.
When?
Creek them
When
I think uh, I have workshop, okay.
Hi, Robbie. What other participants are you most excited to play against this tournament?
I'm not really there with my mines right now, but okay.
Uh, anyone?
it's the hill oh it's the hill
Oh my god, it's the hill.
Oh yeah, anyone, thank you so much for this help, however.
Yeah, classic mongol game, I'm not favoured unless I play minotaur and get some value
out of it because I have zero sith benefit the way I play it and he has a lot of sith
benefit.
Why grabby always let this close TC drops happen?
You're watching a different game buddy.
watching a different game he didn't make any town center
very strange question didn't take chickens
yeah didn't take chickens because I feel like he's everywhere already because
Mungoan I lost my scout
didn't feel like he should be this much behind well I ran my scouts into his town
center so I have no information
and then I went for early wall
and I got all my eco upgrades and I made no units
even though I'm blind or maybe because I'm blind
maybe maybe you're supposed to go scouts when you're blind
alright new scout if you lose scout because otherwise you're just gambling
he can form any form of attack can be full feudal attack
you can go fast castle you have no idea
I got towered
You make a spear and send it to the sky?
I don't know about that.
This forward tower village is able to jump boot while you're set to flee?
Yeah, I saw it.
I saw it.
But...
Okay, so the tower he makes is not in your vision, so it's not like you can react to
it.
creating a force on the map that can prevent such things from happening
sniffing it out through other context scouting so my scout ran right into his
town center by accident like this and it died now I don't know now we both have
different idle time on TC but the way that Mongols work I feel like a lot of
chat don't know which is why I have to explain hunters work 40% faster right
So he's always going to be ahead in food, up timing, unit production, etc.
But it's only while Hunt is still there, which is boar and deer, and I think maybe chicken.
And after that, Advantage passes. He will need to have built up enough of an advantage.
So Mongols typically are very aggressive.
Now I was blind, so I started walling to protect some key resources.
And he scouts and he sees, I'm not really making a lot of units.
He has an archery range at home and he's making a couple of units, nothing big, just a couple of archers.
And I'm basically not doing anything. I don't have particularly many farms but I tried to scale them up, get some berries, right?
Now I have farms and he doesn't yet, that's a greedy thing to do. Prioritizing farms over unit production buildings is a greedy thing to do.
So he decides, you know what, I'm just going to send five villagers forward with two archers because I see you have no army.
no army. This is absolutely correct and he starts towering this. But I think a lot of
chatters don't know because there was a guy like, why you always get town center dropped?
Of course that's not what happened. But you have no information of this. Because they
don't have units there's no way to sniff it out. So you can only react to it once it
reveals itself. I reacted instantly, lost no village. There's an afterglow somewhere else.
was too squeezy here so I had to go here. Now I have a bunch of skirmishers. Now he
did something pretty clever. He is still making archer but he's also going wheelbarrow even
though it's technically too early for wheelbarrow because he doesn't really have enough value
from it yet per se. But he's doing it, I don't know if it's because he got supply blocked
or he just likes it but he's got a bunch of eco upgrades. Then because his scout is still
life my scurms are actually losing to archers and my spear doesn't do enough
because it gets outran by scouts he might quit it well I already have pretty
low eco efficiency because of all the walking and having so many villagers on
a single thing and now of course I need farms so I'm just gonna make farms you
should never have six farms make at the same time it should be gradual because
now you've lost a lot of potential food income I made his blacksmith forward
because whatever he's killed two villagers in total so far we're actually
starting to equalize a little bit in resource collection and so it's
everything is still possible right he has four arches three scrims three scouts I
have five skirmishers so I'm starting to skimp on unit production again because
I have a tower here and I have walls I started thinking why should I ever make
units I continue to lack information we're both banking a lot of resources
which is bad. He could be fast-castling or have more of a push, but yeah. So the horses,
I have no response for them, so this is where he goes into my base. Resource-wise, I'm 500
behind, but it's fine. Now I can't do with three scouts at minute 19, which is when many
people are already going to castle. Not being able to deal with three scouts here is really
bad, but again, I have no information, so yeah, I just play a completely blind game
and he can do anything he wants to kill one scout you don't need to make a
spirit you can make artists to kill it yeah that's a great tip that's a great
tip what's my score today
Oh, the bot is down?
Okay, then I can still see it somewhere, right?
