New meta: play 4 vs 4, have all players sling the Ethiopian player. Which ever side completes their nuclear program first wins.

Ah, Ethiopia. Famous for their Stone churches, awesome Kings, and Medieval ICBM. Truly a marvelous country.

*TACTICAL NUKE INCOMING*

*rams teleport to you TC* Rams: "nothing personnel, kid"

Just imagine how much more complicated multiplayer game gets when you don't have idea if you will be invaded by Million HP Villagers or Tactical Nuke Launching Crossbowmen.

Ethiopians have ICBMs. As if onagers were not rage-inducing enough.

My favourite teching to do for this mod is with the Malay's unique tech that removes the gold cost of the militia-line and replaces it with extra food cost. Research blacksmith upgrades, Conscription, Squires, Arson and Supplies a few times (as each Supplies reduces the food cost of the militia-line by 15) and pretty soon you have very fast, free and powerful two-handed swordsmen.

Breaking news: Onager nuke technology found by Ethiopians civ.

I found the Mongol pseudo-teleporting rams the most hilarious of these, though the infinite berserker and Ethiopian ICBM are nice too.

Ethiopian ICBM reminds me a lot of Gandhi from Civilization

Oh! another one, the Celtic technology that makes towers and castles fire faster. There is a point were you are fire a beam of arrows

IDK the teleporting Rams and Onagers seem much nastier than you give them credit for. One second everything is fine, next second everything is on fire. Unless it's a cost vs speed issue.

If you research masonry too much your buildings get destroyed because they have negative hp Too much speed also makes unitd uncontrollable. They just teleport into nothing. Even places they shluldnt be able to go to

*smacks a wall* *everyone behind it dies* LMAO, that is hilarious.

Don't spam health increasing techs... your units'/buildings' health will suddenly turn negativ and they will die instantly.

I've never played with this mod, but if food tends to be a limiting factor, then Malay have a real edge: Their infinite fish traps would require no rebuilding, and Gillnets is a fairly cheap technology that, after researching 10 times, would allow fishing ships to collect over 200 food/minute.

They never expected ethiopian inquisition.

7:48 We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.

So many Spirit of the Law videos one after the other is also quite a crazy unique tech.

I love playing Celts for their castle tech which makes Castles shoot arrows 20% faster. After about 10 researches the castles become an unstoppable laser cannon which just requires you to get fletching as many times as possible to make it work out. I usually go for about 20 researches because then 1 castle shoots so many arrows it will destroy any and every target in 1 second.

Ethiopian onager = ICBM Ethiopian scolpion = rail gun

Ethiopian siege onager: *fires* Ore no kachi da! Mongol siege ram: *teleports behind it* "Omae wa mou shindeiru". Ethiopian siege onager: "NANI?!"

With DE, researching the tech that makes Malay two handed swordsmen only cost food and supplies a few times, they become free.

Torsion Engine = Black Death (referring to the cheat code)

The last one made me laugh soooo hard 😂😂😂😂

You cannot exceed the speed of light. Unless you are, wait for it...

Torsion Engines clip was legit one of the few moments I've had my jaw drop literally. Wish there was more footage!

6:14 Guy is taking about 500 arrows to the face and just pronounces: "I'm fine, you've gotta do better than that" LOLOLOLOLOL

Counter to the ICBM: Because if a troop is killed (and in the case of a trebuchet packed-up, too) the siege onager's boulders if in mid-air will do 1 damage if the onager is destroyed while the shots are flying. Thus, if you have teleporting siege weapons one can utilise them to destroy the offending onager before it's too late.

Ive never felt more welcomed than that "Hey Guys" at the beginning.

I think the Spanish Inquisition is pretty strong. Aside from the fact that no one expects it, you can get basically instant conversions. Throw in some block printing and all you need is line of sight to convert basically anything. Or, if you want to go really crazy you can go missionaries and add bloodlines to make them tanky as well. But if you're doing this you might want to try to set up some trade in which case sanctity is an option for sure. In fact, monks have techs to increase their range, hp, attack rate (faith regeneration), and movement speed, all of which cost only gold. So if you can set up a sick Spanish trade line and abuse the caravan a bit, you'll be converting pretty much anything.

SOTL, please make a video showing the 256x tech mod's bugs when you start at pos imperial age.

"ok loomer"

Mods like these are a great source for new and innovative gameplay mechanics. Take things to the extreme to see what's possible and what's fun, and make a game around it.

You need to make a video about the Spirit of the Law taunt pack.

3:43 is a Byzantine player's wet dream...

3:30 But what if I fire a trebuchet, pack it, and then quickly unpack before rojectile hit the target?

7:43 TACTICAL NUKE ! INCOMING !

There is also the Celtic tech that increases the health of all siege units by 40%, I imagine just making an army of invincible onagers or trebs and just casually breaking into an enemy base.

Having a ton of spare resources, researching perfusion like 18 times, then have an auto clicker basicly generate huskarls or champions at the speed of light, lol.

Mongol ram: *Teleports behind you* "Nothing personal, kid. Its just that we are the exception."

Waiting patiently for that Burmese civ overview, Spirit

I've been waiting for this vid. I bet u had fun making it

4:10 But the power of the Trample could not be undone.

E T H I O P I A N S

Mahouts is pretty intense and it turns the elephants into torpedoes. They are especially deadly in Regicide where you can easily snipe the king with a bunch of War Elephants. Also there is the Furor Celtica which brings some more rage-inducing Siege Onagers. Also, if you have the gold for it, the Turks Artillery transforms the Bombard Cannons into literal ICBMs

Hahahaha this was pretty funny, specially for the intro to the first tech. Nice video SOTL

finally we needed ur vid!!

"Kataparuto" is actually just the pronunciation of "catapult" in romanji. So it's just pronounced like "catapult" with a thick japanese accent.

7:42 the bomb atomic in the medieval age

Awesome video dude, keep it up!! PD: i am waiting for more campaigns against history!!!

the celts are awesome too, the towers and castles are like machine guns, just build a few on the enemy base and it will be destroyed in a minute (using x9 tech)

Has anybody tried abusing block printing to convert units across the map?

Torsion Engines = That's no moon

I made Persian War Elephants last night with 3.4k hitpoints, 40 damage, and 20-some armor, but the best part was I had researched so much Mahouts and Husbandry that my elephants could essentially teleport across a giant map in half a second and just warped from one target to another.

I lost it with the Mongolian teleporting siege rams :,D Great vid once again!

Well I have tried Ethiopians with Torsion Engines in a diplomacy game. Was basicaly waiting for like 100 siege engineers and Torsion Engines and then started to one shot players not even seting them to enemy 11

I wouldn't agree with Berbers, everyone has conscription that is cheaper, stronger for solo player, and works not only for castle units and most do not rely on them. Byzantines are better then Slavs in that manner, that cataphracts actually benefit from husbandary and gives +6 bonus anti infranty attacks. Byzantines for example with few logisticas will one shot berserkers regardless of how fast berserkers regen. Not mentioning Celts is heresy, 30k hp siege going into your base not worth mentioning?

While trying this mod by myself, I did Regicide on Islands. Treason + Onagers + 100x Siege Engineers made king sniping literal, if not a good sport.

Great video spirit

I have this 9x +increased resources mod that makes researching conscription affect all unit production and tech research speed. Also the Japanese arrow tech researched 9 times makes them able to shoot a crap ton of arrows and 1 tap every unit

Equal to ICBM? Great! BTW, where is my intro?

i love your videos SOTL. really, they are all so good.

This is now my favourite video on the internet, ever

Viper vs spirit of the law

What about Spanish Inquisition? Would it make monks convert intantly?

Amazing. You're the best, Spirit.

Great channel and you have very nice intro

Ahhhh (Drill, drill, drill) Ahhhh Do you like my ram? (My ram, my ram,)

Me, a viking player: no one can stop me An ethiopian boi: are you sure?

I Love your Videos Spirit of Law!

Probably already been mentioned. But the Celts Stronghold upgrade gets pretty crazy after about 9 or 10 upgrades. Tower Spam your opponents and watch the never ending stream of arrows light the place up!

Crazy Strategy: Our Arrows Will Blot Out The Sun (The Persians said it in 300 but here it's the Celts that actually do it best) (TL:DR Castle arrows grant vision. Play Celts, Mass research Fletching and Stronghold. Attack using only castles. Cross map laser beams.) There's an interesting strategy on 256x tech mod that technically works on any civilisation but seems to be best with Celts. Infantry? Cavalry? Siege? Archers? Who needs 'em? With enough fletching, bodkin, etc. and with the Celt unique tech Stronghold increasing castle firing speed multiplicatively, turning your castle arrows into flaming laser beams, you can completely forego the training of any military whatsoever! Using villagers/outposts/starting scout cav to scout - or better, a teammate with cartography to do the hard work for you when they (pfft) actually train some military like a dunce - you can scout out enemy bases to see the buildings. Unlike any other unit in the game, as far as I know, castle arrows grant vision in an area around where they travel. You can safely attack previously seen buildings (even when you don't currently have sight of them) from the ludicrous range of your multi-fletching castle, and use the solid amount of vision granted by the arrows you fire to attack any units or other buildings within range. Unlike most ranged units with 20+ range, castles can actually attack cross-map pretty comfortably. Without needing resources to train units, (because who needs them when you have a castle or two? Or ten...) or even to advance to Imperial Age, (because Stronghold is a Castle Age tech) you can spend food and gold on researching your two primary technologies instead, turning your castles into orbital strike turret death machines. Civs other than Celts can do this too, but they lack damage (attack speed) comparatively and the vision is slightly harder to make use of because there aren't so many volleys. Stronghold is a pretty cheap tech, and with not many researches of fletching or stronghold required to start blotting out the sun with your volleys of doom, it's not that difficult to get the ball rolling - especially when you don't need to train any units, and ESPECIALLY if you're playing Regicide so you already start with a castle.

So logistica and druzhina become Fus Ro Dah?

I'd say that this video needs refreshed haha!

Teleporting flattening rams, Wolverine regenerating Berserks, Sauron multi-hitting cataphracts, and Ethiopian ICBMs 😂

before watching the video, the best one by far is the trample damage. When you upgrade that thing to the max you can hit anything and see everything in the map take 5 damage.

Those siege learned the forbidden jutsu of the eight inner gates :o

Hi Spirit, just curious, did you ever make a video regarding army formation? I'm curious about when to use boxed formation compared to staggered and the others, and also fleet formations

@4:22 "That guy on the horse is slapping our wall! We'd better have a lie down before we go deal with him!"

Who even needs units? Infinite range castles and vision range are great.

No love for teleporting elephants? (Oh well, mongols probably have it beat anyway)

SPIRIT, I'VE BEEN A FAN FOR SO LONG! LOVE UR VIDS!

This was seriously funny!

FYI the caravan tech for trade cogs and trade carts, if researched too many times will crash your game and it will cause units to clip into buildings if too fast. Edit: And wheel barrel tech line can result in villagers being incapable of building. Edit2: Have you seen brit long bowman with 256 of all the range and damage upgrades? or Teutonic castles with all the research and garrisoned?

Mongols with hyperspace

Excellent Choice!

YEAYYY NEW VIDEO

YES SPIRIT TO CONQUER ANOTHER Civilization.. But in the game of course! (YA)

I was talking to my cousin about this mod the other day and we came to the conclusion that the spanish with supremacy is the best strategy, since you can upgrade villagers to also build faster and make them build castles instantly.

Omg i laugh so much on last one XD YOU ARE THE BEST

Hi! I just discovered your channel, i even watched the video where you celebrated one subscriber! :p I was wondering, will you ever do AoE 3 videos?

I thought I could escape Team Fortress 2's x100/1000/10000 servers... I was horribly mistaken....

I'd like to see gameplay of a mod where every tech, including ages and unit upgrades, costs 5x as much

lol nice video 6:20 reminds of a smiter doing ubers in diablo 2^^

Dear spirit of the Law jajajajaja the top one is awesome XD I really like your videos and I really like your work you are a realy funny and mathy guy XD take care my friend

8:13 - Best game I've ever played with SOTL by far :P

British Longbowmen and Spanish Villagers is what i think of before i watch the video

I binge your videos way too hard

Aztec monks would be an interesting case: You could max out their range with Block Printing (200 gold) and research Illumination (120 gold) until they regain faith nearly instantly, with the added bonus of +5 hit points each time. Research Sanctity (120 gold), and you could add even more hit points. Voila: Super monks! (Slavs, with their unique technology Orthodoxy, could do something similar by giving their monks insane armor, and Burmese would get each technology at a reduced price.) As an added bonus, the low cost of these technologies should allow you to research them faster than your opponents could mass up Faith (750 food, 1000 gold).
