Funny thing is no one actually snitched. Fauna is just that bloodthirsty and chat was just spamming "FAUNA SWEEP"

Kiara: "Where is she going?" Fauna: "Why are my elephants there?!" "Your enemy can't know what you're doing if you don't know what you're doing" -Sun Tzu the art of war

kiara and reine: Fauna tried to bait us! fauna: where my elephants?

Everyone: "Fauna's elephants are everywhere. Her micro is amazing!" Fauna: "Where are my elephants?... How did they get over there?"

Kiara: "Why are her elephants leading me away? It must be a clever ruse to catch me off guard!" Fauna: "Where are my elephants?!"

*Chat:* "Make Elephants and Trebuchets." *Fauna:* "It can't be that easy..." *Narrator:* "It was that easy."

i love how her lonely elephant in Moona's base was just wrecking havoc without Fauna ordering it to attack, it just destroyed that squad LOL

Fauna: more elephants others: she's playing strategically. jokes aside fauna really have skills with this kind of games

Everyone: Man, Fauna planned everything while we are fighting the others. Meanwhile Fauna the entire stream: M O R E E L E P H A N T S.

There was too many misunderstandings that happened because fauna was having trouble controlling her units which i thinks is so hilarious because everyone freaks out from the unconventional movements.

Kronii signing her loss when she built that wonder without proper defense plan

Everybody was minding their own business. But that all changed when "ourokronii started building a Wonder!"

Kiara and Reine not understanding that building a castle near someones base is a declaration of war lmao

Kronii: "Should I build a wonder?" Moona: "Oh yeah!" Everyone else: "No!"

Kronii: *tries to build a wonder* Kiara and Fauna: "And we took that personally"

"Alright, roll out everybody." She said it in such a mild tone despite that being the herald of her enemies' absolute destruction.

Reine: *Build castles near her base multiple times* Fauna: *Attacks back* Also Reine: *Surprised pikachu face*

Kronii: What if we just instant win? Moona: Good idea. Kiara: Castles everywhere! Reine: Assert dominance! Fauna: Where are my elephants?! Why are they over there?!?! Anya: ...How do you build military?

It's just gold how Fauna just sit there, resources lines secured, to jump straight to "Ok, what's the best troop this civilization have?", then proceed to spam it for the win.

Kiara: "She's trying to lead me away with her Elephants" Fauna: "Where are my elephants going!?"

I find it funny how Fauna was just playing casually while Kiara and Reine thought she was being sweaty and meta-gaming. Kiara even said that next time they can't use chat for help, thinking they were directing Fauna's victory when in reality they were just teaching her how to play the game and spamming Fauna Sweep.

My favorite part about the fauna elephant strategy was just how she had like 15-20 villagers farming the entire time when she had almost zero use for food whatsoever. Can't wait to see all the fanart of Fauna commanding a herd of elephants

There's something about how calmly Fauna says, _“I'm on a rampage.”_ at 16:33 that is just hilarious.

Everyone: We have to be careful! Fauna is a brilliant strategist! Fauna: Hehe, Elephant go stompy stomp Loved this stream lmao

I was listening to this stream while on my way to grab a couple of drinks with a friend so I missed the second half, but the moment I noticed she got so deep into gaming kirin mode that there were no tangents or engaging anecdotes, only discussion of what was currently happening in game, I just knew things were going to get ugly for everyone else.

I just love how every cut back to Fauna there is just a handful of more elephants on the screen 😂

I love how Reine says something like "There is someone sniching for sure" but in reality Fauna is like "Elephants go Bbbbbrrrrrrr"

Kiara and Reine: build castle near other Also Kiara and Reine: surprised when it gets attacked

Poor Anya, she is the bloodthirsty one while Fauna felt like that one person who kept bumping into every vase in the shop accidentally yet somehow managing to burn down the shop as well. It was an adorable rampage.

This was crazy to watch, especially from all perspectives. Anya was just along for the ride while Fauna went from 0 to Hannibal crossing the Alps and opened a can of whoopass across the landscape. Gotta tip my hat to Kiara as well, she performed admirably in the early game and made a valiant stand against Fauna's doomstack. Hope to see them do another match soon. Notable that a lot of holomems dropped in to watch. AoE make for great spectating.

Kiara: Where is she going? She's leading me away! Meanwhile Fauna: My Elephants are gone ?? Why are they here ?! 😆

Anya and Fauna are a dynamic duo.

14:21 "Double click Elephants to select all of them" *Double clicks* * * *TO ALL SUBJECTS OF FAUNA* * *

Everyone: *building wonders and attacking each other* Fauna: *channeling hannibal of carthage

There's something inexplicably hilarious about seeing a massive horde of elephants just crush all opposition before them

Seeing how she led the council against the dragon in Minecraft, she is a born general for this kind of game 😂

My favorite part Anya: "Let them Fight"

Kroni: *paints a target on her back* Other teams: *attack!!!!* Kroni: *surprised pikachu face*

Kiara: angry bronze tier player Fauna: vibing with doomstack Reine:plays sim city instead of aoe2

I was hoping to see Moona dominate, but I guess Nature is too powerful.

Kiwawa: "I can't believe her strategy, she's even baiting my army away with her squad of elephants!" Meanwhile Fauna: "Where did my elephants go?"

Fauna: "How am I gonna stop some big mean mother hubbard from invading my empire? The answer: use an elephant. And if that don't work? Use more elephants."

16:36 calmest most soothing "I'm on a rampage" I've ever heard. (Edit: Also at 18:18 you get to see Fauna's rendition of the Kylo Ren "MOOREE!!!" scene in The Last Jedi.)

"Oh no~ have i gone too far? Ok Kronii next~" what a cute tyrannical warlord

18:10 "More elephants!.. More archers!.. More." - gaming kirin Ceres Fauna, october 2023

Fauna actually barely read chat the entire stream. She mostly just consulted them about game mechanics and stuff. Most of Fauna's chat was just memeing about going to war with everyone. The only reason why she pushed into Reine's base was because she thought Reine was attacking her by placing that castle there.

I love how everyone was looking at her like some sort of 4d strategist, and she was just like "I like elephants"

Watching this again in all pov, turn out everything Fauna did were just happy accidents 😂. Things just happened “naturally”.

I thought Kronii looked so strong in the beginning, and then she wasted all those resources on a Wonder with no troops to protect it and a gaping hole in her wall 😭

Since I saw some people are talking about "Dang those Elephants are so OP", I would like to add some context from the actual competitive scene of AoE2 (yes, AoE2 is actually having a second golden age and has a great competitive scene nowadays): 1. Persian War Elephant is stupidly strong, but it's also stupidly expensive. It's basically almost never used competitively in 1 vs 1 thanks to this and the fact that it being countered by the cheapest unit in the game (swarms of pikes) AND can be stolen by Monk and you can't really do anything about that counter. Fauna managed to trample everything because her opponents let her built them to the number where even their counter (halberdiers/pikes) can't really counter them anymore thanks to Elephant's trample (splash) damage. 2. Another reason why this strategy work is that Fauna is the only player here who managed to built an actual economy that could support massive army and invested enough in trade. Kiara and Reine did some trade to lesser degree, but they often forget to build reinceforcements and organize their economy while they are busy attacking -- Fauna most of the time keep looking back at her base to keep building more units so once she went with pressure everyone have no time to rebuilt army. 3. Last important detail: The biggest weakness of every single casual AoE players is that every begginer never thought of building multiple production buildings (e.g Barracks) to make units -- this applies to everyone here. However, Kiara and Fauna could spam their unique units because they happened to make multiple castles for defense and area control purpose, enabling them to actually utilize their resources to fight (Kiara's TTK sadly just got countered by Elephants). On the other hand, Halberdiers/Pikes are SUPER cheap and don't require gold -- they could easily outnumber and counter Elephants. The problem is that thanks to the fact that they almost never intentionally make multiple production buildings to build units, they are never pumped in enough numbers to counter the number of Elephants that happend to be pumped from multiple Castles. You can't compete against three castles with just one barrack!

If you ever Wonder what will trigger anyone to attack your base... now you know

Time Warden builds a wonder. Nature is offended. Sends in titans.

fauna is truly the general for all time. the hero we need but do not deserve.

1:52 Honestly god-level call by Anya, might have been the most impactful thing she did all game. 🤣🤣

i need fauna sound pack. " more elephants " " more archers " XD

I love that Fauna didn't even know she could double click to select all of a unit and she still did this well

Fauna then : Violence is not an option. Only peace Fauna now : If you got a legs then RUN

I was watching / listening to Anya's POV stream at work. Fauna's Elephant Zerg Rush was a thing of terrible beauty!

Fauna and her fauna, at least this story have a decent ending. Remember what happened to her zoo? Its kinda amazing that she kept Anya alive too. Reine thought someone snitched, but actually it was Fauna's gamer sense doing work.

17:23 - 17:54 If this were in real life battle it would be hillariously written in history books as "Tactical elephant retreat"

Everyone: Fauna is attacking!? What the heck!? Fauna: Why are my elephants there!?

This stream is such a hilarious train wreck, noone knows what they're doing Everyone after the match: I was minding my own business Me: are you sure about that? Examples of everyone "minding their own business" -Kiara and Reine unknowingly declaring war by placing castles next to enemy bases -Kronii painting a big target on her back by building a wonder -Fauna going on a rampage because the others wouldn't stop declaring war on her, Fauna's elephants making big brain moves on autopilot while she was mostly focusing on increasing the production of elephants lol

Kiara:OMG Reine we're winning!!! Fauna:Are you sure about that?

Reine blamed on chat snitching but she and Kiara were the one who pissed off Fauna by attacking Anya lol.

When kronii was asking "what'd I do" chat was full of "I wonder why" and other wonder puns

Everyone else: "She must have inside information. Somebody snitched. She must be baiting our troops away. She's strategizing to make us vulnerable." Fauna: "hehe elephants go uuuuu"

Lmao it's funny when the aggressive ones became salty when it was their turn to be attacked by fauna's million elephants.

15:30 nobody was telling her anything, it was natural to progress west after repelling the attack on Anya and having dealt with Reine castles in that direction already. It was also already Fauna's plan to spam elephants, she said at the beginning it's why she picked Persians.

Kiara: Maybe they're just scouts. *"The Scouts" are a unit of War Elephants.*

Fauna unknowingly been blessed by the spirit of Hannibal Barca 😂

Pretty much Kronii put a big target at her back when she decided to build that wonder early on lol

Fauna: Should I attack? Anya: I say you wait. Fauna: I ATTACK!!!

Accidentally leaving an elephant behind in someone's backyard is a legitimate strategy.

Damn Reine was hella salty lol

Everyone else: preparing for battle in various ways. Strategizing and managing resources. Fauna: Haha elephant goes “🎺🎺🎺”

Fauna: “more” *10 elephants* Fauna: “More” *100 elephants* Fauna: “MORE” *1000000 lives under her feet*

I knew fauna will be victorious , she's actually more advanced in the old school game than anyone here

Getting the different viewpoints stitched together makes me better understand the dangers of having jumpy border guards. The first half was a series of both sides being surprised that they were under attack by the other and certain the other shot first, and it would turn into all-out war as they read intent to escalate into each other that didn’t exist.

They fighting between themselves. Until the nature wakes up and start the rumbling 😮😮😮

I just love it when Hololive talents play a multiplayer game. Especially if it is a strategy game, the way they think is unconventional.

Anya is a master strategist. Letting holotori and moontime fight at it while fauna leads heavy units is amazing!

I watched the entire stream and honestly Fauna is just built different when it comes to competitive games, she was just snowballing while Kiara fought Kronii Rumbling is real and eventually all is reclaimed by nature

Fauna is preparing Super Mario Wonder.

Fauna really pulled the Rumbling at them lmao. Its really fun watching a battle royal this intense, i wish Moom is part of this

That thumbnail is peak

14:31 - 'it's the elephants! The elephants are coming the elephants are coming!"

Rome was lucky they only had to deal with hannibal and not fauna. 🤣🤣🤣

Fauna: Randomly attack everyone. Everyone else: Emotional damage.

This stream was goated. I hope they play more classic games like these.

While everyone was busy attacking Kronii fauna was crossing the alps with her elephants.

Games like this really love Fauna...she's just doing her thing unless someone attack her then at the end she wins(most of the time) even that prev. animal party 8/15 wins she was in party with 😅

This stream was so fun to watch. It's even better when you get to see the holomems react to what each other are doing. Thanks for the multiple POV clip!

The fauna strat of squishing castles frame one of ALL enemies was a bold move that honestly is quite amazing with the mind games that were not being played

Kiara started off pretty strong. If she and Reine had gone after Fauna instead of Anya after interrupting Kronii's Wonder attempt she might have even had a chance to win, but after all the fighting (and by not constantly replacing her units as they were getting killed like Fauna was), her forces were too weak to put up a defense against Fauna's counterattack, and by then she had mentally checked out as well.

Birb-team: it’s turtling time! Time to PD creep over the map! (Territory grabs are an act of war) Fauna: I like elephants (also trebuchet). Kronii: should I make myself a map wide target?

*Kronii's economy being ahead of everyone* Kronii: Hmmm let me build a wonder 10 mins later Kronii: *insert napoleon meme*

I like how they keep building castle in enemy territory, and kiara said i can build more, i just frowned because materials, but in the end its Faunasweep!

I love how everyone was playing basically farmville while Fauna was planning to bring them Freedom.

RUMBLING, RUMBLING ITS COMING! RUMBLING RUMBLING!

Kronii wanted to build an eternal timeless monument. Fauna's elephants reclaims everything back into nature. Somehow accurate.
