Imagine 500 population limit.

Hey dude, what would be a better choice? Thanks ✌🏻

@@Klaus93845983495 go for melee units (cavalry and infatry)

@@Klaus93845983495 Anything but Crossbows

@@Klaus93845983495Call gg. :) Seriously, goths are one of the best civs in aoe2. If you allow them to go to imperial with all upgrades and full boom with tons of farms, they can make indifenite spam of husks against archers and cheap infantry against other units. Although any mele unit (champions, or unic mele if you have one) is best choice. And husars raids to the goths economy because they dont have stone walls and their army is very slow. But best of all - CATAPHRACTS!!! :)

@@Klaus93845983495 spam scout in early or spam archer coz goth early is not good

goth or not doing that shoot and run technique means he deserves all of his woes. the old AI used to absuse this and i've always fucking hated the game for that when i was a kid.

@@Lapantouflemagic0 You must absolutely hate the Huns, Mongols, Cumans, Tatars and Turks then

@@Lapantouflemagic0 you cant expect ranged to be at an equal in close combat. their hp and armor is low, they are meant to be kept at a distance at all times. mixing them up with pikemen makes for a near perfect team, keeps them safe from cavalry attacks. if you want to counter archer ai you should use skirmishers, their sole purpose is to be anti archers. they have a damage bonus towards archers and a base high damage mitigation against ranged attacks. for elite skirmishers its higher than the paladins. a formation full of skirmishers would counter the near perfect archer and pikeman team its funny that even the arbalest(er), the last upgrade for archers tree, appears to be wearing full heavy armor. but their attack and ranged migitation is still at 0, and their hp is 40, only 10 points higher than the archer. so no matter how it appears, you really dont want these guys to invite the enemy into a close combat duel. hit and run is the only way, or having a wall of infantry or cavalry to hide behind

If you have 20 archers and goths no castle u won :D

@@Littlevampiregirl100 exactly, and why wasn’t the player spreading out his archers? Also the key is to have a constant inflow of new archers being made and sent directly to the battle zone. Last thing, since I’m not as familiar with whatever iteration of AOE2 this is (I only have the original version and conquerors edition), britons are the kind of archers you want - longbowmen

tower hop as shown in the video is not gone though

@@__________________________---_ i've never seen 2 gates like this in DE yet, i think it was edited in the scenario editor

@@ADCFproductions its pretty normal to see 2 gates like that

@@sono156 nope it was fixed a long time ago in DE

@@sono156 this is incorrect, gates were patched in DE (from day 1)not to spawn in the corners, making tower hopping effectively impossible on arena

except if u play as lakota, u can place city center everywhere as long its not enemy territory, u can squeeze out your opponent border so hard that they might lose coz they had nowhere to build city center

clearly a great friend there.

@@CallofDutyBlackOps28 only the best of friends do that

Only if lock teams is not enabled

@@wiscothrills1409 Yes, but after he does it he's no longer your best friend...LOL

That's the kind of friend that would push you into a horde of zombies to buy more time for himself/herself to escape. I don't have time for those sorts of people.

One of the most terrifying aspects of late game Goths is just how few 'normal' comps stack up to them. Play archer, meet Huskarl. Switch to cavalry, entire legions of halberds show up. Switch to infantry, and now you're fight inf v. inf against one of the prime infantry civs. Either be a real infantry civ to match them or hope gunpowder works.

@@BlueShellshock or be the Byzantines and ise cataphract

you must be fun at parties, snowflake

you need walls and monks and get huskarls to your side

😂

Or just get enough Archer XD

@@richardjulien1329 huskarls are counter against projectiles that's why using melee against them is better

@@stormtrooper9894 I know ^^ personally I use either cavalry or bombards against them :)

@@richardjulien1329 Teutonic Knights

@@Hellblazer1o2 seriously? They can come in time? Last time I checked, they are the slowest unit of the game, so, I'm not sure they can destroy the ennemy trebs before your castle being destroyed...

OMG

Exactly, I wonder why no one ever uses this

😂 😂 😂 😂 Super easy barely an inconvenience! Well we know where that's coming from

Alright George Ryan.

@@WhoThisMonkey getting pop culture references is tight.

@@ninafeifel3384 wow wow wow.... wow so you've got a like for me?

its auto generated wall on one of map styles. Kinda forgot the name, i think it was "fortress" but not sure. It would be possible to quickly build something in that place but in dark and feudal age time and villager focusing on rescources is essential

@@ilikeonions1051 ARENA.

@@martinhorvath4117 yea, that one

I only remember using towers in a semi-offensive strategy if the situation had my faction with a good reserve of stone resources.

Opponent must be a real potato to let you do it :D

I make walls to keep my troops inside my base They always follow enemy troops until large chunk of my army executes an unplanned attack on enemy base

Disagree! If viable strategies only involved building up and 'fighting it out' you would make the game be much more of a coinflip for civ matchup than a skill exchange. These crazy all in strats make it interesting and make unexpected plays possible, hence increasing variability of the game.

@@niknik0815 Disagree!

More strategies = more fun. Less strategies = less fun. Besides you can host a custom game with a longer treaty to stop early aggression. The game already has you covered.

@@mattutter3525 Good point, in an MP game set out the rules for all early on.

Because it was posted in 2021

The longbows of the Britons with Greek fire can be quite a force to be reckoned with.
