pharaon87 A true King

Thats the way :)

Great attitude, its because of these videos that I started doing age2 multiplayer. Figured I would see people of similar skill level. :)

Grats on the positive attitude. BTW, what's sad for me is that I know most of what T90 says, but I feel like I'm just about as bad as you were when you played this game. I even correctly answered "Light Cav!" when T90 asked what unit to use against SO. IDK... feels like I forget everything when I play.

Bless ya glad you’re having fun

Cue the ontage.

Please make him see that video :D

YYYOOOOOOO FOR REAL!!!!

He literally made a video on this video 🤣🤣🤣

I am at 32 minutes as well, and I am wondering if I want to watch the rest of it. I noticed the same thing. I want to know how it ends, but I'm not sure I want to spend the time.

@@rogerwilco2 totally worth it...

I just wanted to comment the same. At this point blue should have just rolled in and win. Since the video doesn't end here, there must be some weird stuff going on in the rest video, so I'm continuing watching.

Yea, the rest of the video was fun to watch. Something blue can learn from if he watches the vid.

@@energeticwhirlpool8666 I just finished and indeed it was both entertaining and educational.

amen!

AND THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED!

@@flamingrubys11 just belting sabaton's discography as I lose at age of empires, 40:1 baybee

Also dont forget to omit your blacksmith upgrades!

I just do that every game LOL

Agreed

Agreed... because I can relate 😭

Indeed, the pro games hardly even get past castle age lol. I wanna see them clash it out.

Pro games (unless you have players specifically going for weird shit) are all short and fast using meta builds and such. Lower level play has more entertainment factor because people aren't as good

Fonbella yeah

you can chop them down and then make a farm over it,

me : *expresses immense D I S S A T I S F A C T I O N*

clawyf I’ve always heard this is the reason and while I don’t grab them at the very start most of the game (sometimes on maps with low wood I will send two of them to the stragglers before making a lumber camp at a large wood line) I never seem to have this problem, I always have enough wood to make farms by the time I want to and thus chopping the stragglers at that point feels like a waste of time to me?

Jayden Bloomfield That could mean you have too many vills on wood/not enough on food (for an optimum build that is).

You can have four of them one tile closer but it won't look that gorgeous

Well he did calculated that

before I started watching AoE KZfaqrs that was exactly the way I played, turtle until post imp, build up nice big army and then go.

I have only just bought Definitive Edition, as I hated Microsoft and thus never wanted to play AoE. But Blizzard made such a mess of the Warcraft 3 "remaster", that I decided to buy this instead, as MS did an actual good job. I have played many RTS, starting with the original DUNE, ever since I got my first 386. And except for maybe Stronghold, and sometimes Supreme Commander, a turtle just does not work.

@@PrimordialNightmare In a way it is the way game trains you to play too. In all of the campaigns the AI is already built up and doesn't do much additional booming.

@@jimland4359 The art of war missions teach better

@@jimland4359 Yeah, I mostly blame the fact that low-elo people are defensive and boomerish on the campaigns. In way too many scenarios, you either start at a huge disadvantage, against multiple AIs, or with no way to replenish your soldiers, which hammers a mindset of "don't do anything risky because you lose otherwise" home much more than "be aggressive, harrass the opponent's economy and don't turtle too much". Not to mention that in those scenarios, you most often just have to wipe the AI out once since their villages are hard-coded to not replenish all buildings and so on. In many scenarios, the scenario voice even says something like "don't attack they're too strong until you have a bigger army" and unless you know the scenarios really well or are a good player, you don't know which factions might be super weak to attack early on to kick them out of the game. None of the scenarios really teach you the hotkeys and their importance, or how to effectively harrass the opponent's economy. Especially if people didn't play online for long, all they had were the scenarios and the AI caving their face in on any difficulty higher than easy, so instead of learning to be aggressive, they just learn to turtle up even harder.

they would live a peaceful life on their islands

@Corona Virus the famous island cities of rome and carthage

@@blahmarduk lmao

If you leave a 1-tile margin, you can also build 4 gates around your Town Centers and 4 pieces of walls at the corners. That looks awesome.

That's always been the case I'm pretty sure. Definitely on HD.

Was that added with DE? I've tried doing that and it didn't work. I only have HD.

@@Jay_Sullivan you just need to cut it and put a farm over it, you can do it with every tree that spawn single

@J K , thanks. His comment made it seem like you could just place farms over standing trees. I do place them over felled trees.

wait what?

@@raresaturn idk I just bought the gane

it is harder but more efficiency, just put it next to the tc, the 3 tiles touching it and the next, in the side of it and touchig the tc with one tile, make it in the four sides of the tc and it isn´t that pretty that reds farms, but they are very organized

In the original AoE you had to build farms precisely because no one could walk over the farms. That was the second thing that hit me when first playing AoE2. The first? ".... there are HILLS?!"

@@tskmaster3837 in AoE 1 i used to wall my farm exactly one house around the TC in case of some camel get in my farm I can quick wall them with a house.

Love these.

nice conscript profile pic

@CommandoDude You can look at it like this. A one tile gap means a villager has to move back and forth one tile, typically equal to harvesting 1.5-2 of a given resource every time they cross that tile twice. When you have multiple villagers doing this over the course of half an hour or longer, it certainly adds up - especially in the beginning where small resource advantages is what builds a snowball. Sure, if you know you are going to be inefficient in many regards of the game, then the eco difference probably won't be that noticeable anyways, but it's one step you can take to help improve your game without having to actively change the way you play or improve your mechanical skills etc.

I think its something around 1% less food over the long term for a single tile. Barely a rounding error, especially at this level.

He didn't even use his hunter work rate bonus as Mongols

@Daniel G Nah, that is perfectly fine. Even some pros do that strategy if they are doing an early wood intensive build order. T90 just says not to chop the stragglers because it can lead to bad habits like chops the farther away trees
