Let me know what New Civ you guys want me to make a Build Order for Next! Ill do all 4 before the game's release so you guys can get a really solid start on the ladder!

Thank hera. Really appreciate your effort to educate us. Summary in description will be awsome.

Very well executed! This looks like a solid strategy

King, glad to hear you're getting back into the aoe2de scene! Good luck in your new endeavors :)

Helpful and to the point! I'd be curious to see the best use for the Lithuanian +150 food start. Keep up the great content

Great videos bro, keep it up

Tested the build, liked it a lot! I transitioned into siege rams and Konniks/Chevs, pressured enemies all game through, had enough eco for a lot of trebs as well in the end. No enemy had time to disturb my eco. Thanks for the build.

Hera i really admire your fast thinking in aoe! :)

Aight helpful and nice video, keep it up!

Nice tutorial, you could even argue to go for the barrack with the second to last vill instead of last vill in order to have the barrack up when you click up and be even more aggressive. I guess 19 pop is even possible with a few dears instead of sheeps.

You're a great teacher!

Congrats on HCIV!! :)

Hey hera can you do a tatar specific civ review along with their unique unit. I know you already made a compiled video on all new civs, but if you can show the speciality of tatar unique unit it would be wonderful.

I'm definitely curious to see what you can come up with for the +150 food that Lithuanians get.

My goodness your the best aoe2 youtuber

Well explained!

OP man!

really good. i'll try it

this dark age looks so smooth

Hello Hera, congratz for HC4. What do you think about adding early blacksmith for this build order, since Bulgarians get two bonuses for that?

so this apm is what it looks like when you chew 5 gum

Amazing content. Can I ask what zoom level you have your hud set to?

If you were to try something very similar to this as the Lithuanians (saving a little time in Dark Age with the bonus 150 food, but losing a little time in Feudal due to having to upgrade your militia), what kind of time do you think you could hit to be in the same position (men-at-arms approaching the opponent's base)?

also, is it not possible to queue garrisoning in the TC after clicking on the boar?

hey hera. great video, thanks so much. apperently you only need to hit a boar once now and it will stay agressiv. can you confirm that? would be nice to run back to the tc quicker...

3:33 @Hera - Age of Empires 2, you get more food by having a lot of villagers finishing that sheep and shift-click to take the boar next. The food decays with a fixed rate per animal (as if one gaia-villager is gathering from it) so by finishing the sheep first you minimize the time that you have 2 animals rotting simultaneously.

Can you do an extended video on this,, where you go from the men at arms rush into krepost push

Cumans fast feudal tcrush would be nice, I don't know how early you can go up and have the eco to support two tc vils

Damn - don't blink or you'll miss the video Do a Cuman BO utilising that feudal aggression that they are set up for

What about a 15Pop scrush with Lithuanians? The +150food could make a 15Popup possible and the early dmg inflicted might be enough to compensate for the weak eco?

Due to this vid I became a Bulgarian main :D They really need the elite fighter upgrade... Konniks are meh but a nice addition to take out SO and stuff. The auto-upgraded m@a are so strong, it's ridicuolous. Some players send vills to fight them because they think it's just militia, but it's swordsman already :D rip

So slick. I predict nearly ever Bulgarian game will open with this since their late feudal/early castle is kind of tight due to lack of Xbows.

What map is this? Is the standard now 4 sheep + 4 cows instead of 8 sheep? If that is the case, I think that will make for more aggressive/entertaining games in the early game since you get an extra 200 food to collect in the early game without having to build farms.

+Hera - Age of Empires 2 is it necessary to research loom before clicking up im not a great player by no means but if you make the barracks a little earlier start feudal without loom i am aware this is risky but you can not farm any gold go straight into more wood and food only to go scouts or make a mining camp and go double archers i think the fact that you are up in his face that fast with men at arms and the resources he will have to spend to defend it will put you ahead.(your thoughts) Also if you go double range after should you upgrade them at all ballistics,thumb ring and heavy cav archer is there but the Konnik does not benefit from any of these nor does any late game light cav which you will also receive bonuses for.These are just some thoughts i really enjoy this civ but i am having a hard time with the nuances because although i played 20 years ago i am by all accounts still a noob i would really enjoy a deeper look at this civ from your prospective.

Nice

Op

Hera, why do you think Bulgarians aren't used much in competitive 1v1s?

Hera with the civilizations of the Japanese Inca Malian Persian Celts you can also pop 20 and I believe Mongolians too .. but you need to hunt a deer at least ..

How are u playing this ?? I wanna play too :(

Hera, this works with Goths?

Maybe not a build for the "professional" Meta, but really important for us casually Competetive Black forest plebs: the Fastest way to boom on a closed Map with the cumins. Hitting Imp with 100 vils at 25 min? Yes please

Didnt we have cows in the DLC for AOE 2 2013 ?

Cuman boom, dock and no dock!

can't you queue the hunting after building the houses?

Nice. But wouldn't a 21 pop maa be better? Just clicking one more vill before u go up and still do the rest like u did. then the militia would transform into maa right when they hit the enemy, so kinda the same speed offensivly, but a bit better eco.

I'm new, about 1350 elo on xbox. Is there a trick to finding your opponent quickly on 1v1 Arabia?

"enough food to make some more villagers if i really wanted to" - Nah 32

the 3 min militia rush seems to be hard to handle. i go 3 m rush into scouts into knights and iv been having great success

I wanna see krepost rush ;)

what its the mod for know how many have in food and others? thanks

peace

But when to build TC with Cumans?

yo how r u so fast O.o

I can‘t even click that fast, let alone use hotkeys in such a fast and routined fashion. 😆

This should work with the Ethiopians as well

omg i had to put play speed on 0.75, u made me too nervous. xD

Right, now I gotta do all of this crap the same thing...in real time.

I want to learn this in order to use it with Incas

This is the fastest mouse clicking I have ever seen in my life.....!!! Holy shit. I guess the trick is you have to be on speed basically?

I gave Like no 420! Blaze it dudes!

Everyone in 2021: "why does he shoot the boar twice??"

How do you defend against this?

Man, not having the short tree/walls mod for 6 hours is going to be painful.

ruso reaches ememy base in 9 min with 5 militia with aztecs

Is it only me or this doesn't work as good towards the end if you have 4 sheep instead of 4 cows like standard on most maps? 😅

pretty robotic speech bro, get youself comfortable 😂😂 love u bro

Maa into 1 range fc to get xbow, wait a minute :p

It disturbs me how fast you click and how often. Being a good AoE player is not for me I guess.

why would you show thevipr this?!

When you make this videos at least let us know how it went or just fast forward the rec xD

You are clearly the best AOE II youtuber out here. Super kind and you explain everything and you are humble unlike the dirty snake, I will roll him in 1v1 don't worry. By the way, we don't have the grid lines + small trees + small walls + outlines for fish anymore ? : (

Crazy how this strat would be mediocre at best nowadays. Almost 10 minutes by the time your three m@a make it you your opponent's base.

Is it me or are you playing very far zoomed in this game?

Hide this from RubenStock

i never knew how fast you pros click around. ridicukously quick

Haha hera trying to spoil strategies already before DE is even released to public

You had cows instead of sheeps. You got extra 200 food which isnt really a normal situation. Tutorials in normal maps next time bro

Where is the fun if you memorize the things with timings and buildings and bla bla. Just have fun guyz. Even losing is fun at this game so relax and enjoy.

This gives me a headache my carpal tunnel is so happy we have real strategy games now for the Middle Ages instead of this clicky click butt BS. But ya good job bro you are fast with a mouse 🙄
