IM BRAINDEAD AND FORGOT ROMANS HOLY. Romans: low B tier. Very solid composition that they can bring out, but sometimes they can be a bit slow, and lack the raiding potential needed for arabia.

Hera has that streamer grind where he can launch into the most entertaining digressions from nowhere

Petition for a tierlist of unique units based on their drip!

Kudos to Hera for providing such cool content frequently.

Thank you for immediately pouncing on the negative self-talk. It really does make a difference, and it was extremely gratifying to see you realize and correct yourself!!

See, Goths are S tier. Hera said that. FINALLY. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR AGES...

Truly nice job with the Romans Hera ^^

33:25 - Winged Hussar has 1 more MA over generic Hussar. So +1MA and +5HP in total.

Thanks Hera! Love your vids, super informational and it really helps our group with getting better and trying new civs/comps.

Your love for Arambai is so crazy. ^^ Arambai = Steppe Lancer. After 2 tiles they never hit the target.

I enjoy Hera's tierlists.

I'm seeing Viper and Hera on a RedBull Tournament finale and Viper picking Dravidians for the decisive matchup just for Hera to get mad ad it 11

I want to see the Lithuanians video, you kinda wanted to talk about it since the Arabia tier list after KoTD I really wish to hear your opinion because that civ could be so sick Honestly I either wish the TC bonus was reverted or that the Winged Hussars still get an attack bonus from relics (Maybe just +2. I kinda like that they should work for their extra attack due to missing BF). Tower Shields giving 1 melee armor could help their halbs a little too

Hera litterally talking about Burmese the way Viper talks about Dravidians

Stoked to watch another Tierlist Video!!! They are one of my favorite types of videos.

Great video, I simply love tierlists! Only thing to point out is that it maybe felt a bit rushed towards the end. Paper Money for Vietnamese can be quite good, as it's like having a couple of relics, though maybe more so on some other maps than Arabia.

Really cool video. You’re getting a lot easier to listen to. Your videos used to be a little clunkier but you’re getting smoother/more entertaining. Also, enjoying the videos of you taking on new players

The dream would be a tierlist with the best feudal, and another with the best castle age civs. I think analyzing civs like this might help players recognize which civs are very good overall and which would be wise to practice 🙏

I think Lith relic bonus should now benefit all melee units. Infantry and hussar as well. To offset the loss of blast furnace.

Bulgarians underrated. They have insanely cheap transitions into Imperial. Half cost siege and blacksmith. Usually you have Stirrups already so for cav you need 1 upgrade (hussar or cavalier) and half food cost blacksmith. For infantry you need just the half cost blacksmith upgrade. Going cav spam combined with heavy infantry + siege is very strong and barely requires upgrade cost.

Take a drink every time he says the word 'Hussar'.

Im a noob, but I think Portuguese Freitoria makes them S tier!

May I ask what your top 3 favourite civs are?

"I should edit these but I'm not gonna" - I feel that on a spiritual level

Hera doesn't think too highly of Elephant Archers, or strong Castles, according to this list.

Now make a late game with trade tier list :3

You should rewatch the old tier lists and see how much things have changed 11. I remember when Portuguese were always at the bottom of the lists. Now look at them.

There you go. More reaction videos with Viper.

one thing with koreans is that you can go straight into bombard towers without having to pay and wait for the tech which is HUGE lategame

13:00 the byzantine cataphract + skirm + BBC is a rather difficult combo to stop. Very underrated, though admittedly a slow push strat. You can mix in or replace the catas with camels if the enemy is on high cav numbers.

Bengalis have the extra pop space going for them in late game at least! Japanese also get fully upgraded heavy CA, so you can also go those. Korean wood discount is so massive that they cost the same resources as byzantine trash, but focused heavier on the food. this allows you to focus heavier on the food which is easier to keep safe in late game against raids, and gives you an upper hand in wood games Tatars also have 7 pierce freaking steppe lancers, dont forget about those beasts! Turk heavy CA trade exactly evenly with Tatar heavy CA, but they are stronger against skirms and melee units than Tatar ones

Thanks for the video! About Burmese you even forgot to mention that you are more likely to geab relics :)

Dravidians would be tier S for the strongest late game in the game in terms of military, despite the lack of good cavalry, they have access to everything from archers, infantry and siege weapons. The weak point of this civ is its dependence on gold, it is more appropriate to play as a team even where it is commercial.

love your tier lists ❤️🔝

Hera: Cumans "don't really have any powerful unit that just like never dies, that's really strong". Well, they have the fastest paladin!

What size key board is optimal for aoe2 gaming?

Hera be like. This civ has hussar. So this civ is good.

Spanish have FU Cav Archers + Hussar, plus FU trash, cannons + 20% attack speed, super villagers + super monks. How are they only middle B Tier?

Great video. Could you make similar videos on early game and mid game?

❤ tierlist

Fully upgraded lith winged hussar are actually cheaper than generic because you save on missing blast furnace. Winged hussar also have an extra melee armor.

underrated late game bonus of hindustanis: Hussar also destroy buildings

SOTL is a legend I need a mod that plays his intro when you pick Japanese

lit, thanks for the content

Hera’s cat is SSS+ tier, too powerful for ranked. That’s why he’s not allowed up there.

Thanks you for this video. I had a really natural vibe witch was wholsome. Aoe advice, some live advice an cat just beeing an annoying cat. My cat plays with my mouse cable (no pun inteded :D) when I am tryharding the ladder.

i think spanish might be higher A imo, considering you can tech switch to any unit line that you want - conqs and paladins are amazing but you can have the trash backup whenever you can. the siege are the only weakness for them and the team bonus is useless in 1v1, that’s the difference of them and mongols (other top 2 team bonuses)

For Lituanians I think a good change would be to give them blast furnace but lower the attack they get on relics by 1. Think the attack caps out at 4 or 5 relics so reduce it to 4 and I think their late game would be solid. Agree that they definitely are heavily reliant on relics

Now, team games best arabia civs needed, Hera, please❤

Dravidians had me chuckle, ngl.

Teutons are S-Tier 😢😢😭 Always thought that the strong paladin civs would be up there. Long way to go I guess.

Actually I haven't finished the video yet but I wanted you to read this, here is an idea: How about taking a person's game they have already played and do a video on coaching? You could, of course, charge for this service, but then post it as content. I am sure a lot of the "coaching" will be, practice the build so you don't have so much idle time. But even with idle time, people make all kinds of other mistakes. You could consider almost any ELO but may want to filter on, let's say, 100 games on the ranked ladder, or something like that. If the idea doesn't work for you, no biggie, but I love all of your content and want to help out. I think coaching for a SPECIFIC player in a specific game might be be decent content, maybe once a week.

Byzantines catas kill everything Gurjaras can do tho, which is hilarius that such a nich unit has a purpose against one of the other insnae late game civs.

You can use the mouse's scroll wheel to go through the tech tree faster

ROMANS! LOL! bahah I just read your pinned comment so np. Keep up the great content!

This was a very difficult tier list to predict for me. A lot of times I was way off

I dont even play aoe but i love tierlists 😅

more team based tier lists please!

Tier lists and top 5 videos are S tier

NEW TIER LIST LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

Can you share shortcuts video and how do you use them for faster/better gameplay

For sicilians i think they are one of the most misunderstood trash civs in the game. the way you should think about it is that they have good helbs that are not countered by skirms , skirms lacking final armor BUT in skirm vs skirm fight their civ bonus will reduce almost same damage as final armor anyway, So are not countered hy skirms and light cavs that can take a punch from helbs more than a generic hussar can. If you sum up all that their trash might even be superior to byzantine Also, the fact that those defensive / offensive donjons making the helbs is one big bonus. There is also one weird thing about sicilians farms, sicilians can build and sustain A whole farming economy literally with 6 lumber jacks 😂 it's so weird i had a match once before where i had like 120 farms and like 6 on wood lol

As a lithuanian i 100% agree :) Lithuanians so enoying and disapointing, cuz on paper they should be great late game, but thy fail bth in my gams and like 8/10 they lose in tournaments and those couple wins they get is usually they win early cuz of some obv mistakes or misfortunes of the opponents.

the abstract subconscious self realization moment was actually an s tier advice, specially in late game hahaha. Those facts are so true, don't keep them for urself. Those who know understand, love from argentina as always 💘

Best early game civ would be cool And, why not, best castle age civ haha

just crossed the 1K elo mark🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 so happy! not a noob anymore

regarding mongols late game. i mean everyone knows how great they can be but i feel there are some weird matchups if gold isnt scarce. huskarl spam can be annoying, berbers camel archers also, or mamelukes for example can really be devestating

*Long time, no siege.*

How about a super late game (trash war) tier list? Where Turks are not in S but D.

Mongols always s in all tierlists

As a low Elo myself 850-950 I almost disagree with the most of the tier 😅. I see things differently from my low Elo point of view. As an example my best S tier civs are Malay, Ethiopians, Pols and Slavs. I believe this is because the way I win my games when I follow the build orders that gives me those wins in the late game.

Hussars are the best trash unit, and lacking Byzantines lacking 2 upgrades on it puts them down a notch. Far from the worst Hussars, but below average definitely. Byzantines also lack Siege Onagers and Siege Engineers.

Lithuanian winged hussar also has +1 armor compared to regular hussar

how about updating the so you want to play series?

8:50 when you watch too much Dr.Jordan B Peterson

Tierlists are back!

TBH, I don't get why Bohemians are significantly worse in Late Game Arabia than Britons. You say that Bohemians "die to constant hussar raids", but isn't this also the same problem for Britons? And in terms of your own raiding potential, Bohemians and Britons have the exact same stable options. Yeah, Longbows + Warwolf Trebs + Halbs are a great deathball, but so are Houfnice + Skirms + Halbs with more bonus dmg (you can also mix in hand cannons/arbalest). Regardless of that, once again great content! :-)

waiting for viper's video counting the number of times Hera says anyways to finally say anyways hera doesn't know what he's saying, dravidians are the best..

How about a top 4v4 flank civ list to defend while your teammate takes 50 minutes from the pocket to mass FU paladin

Berbers don't have halbs tho

shouldnt persians be higher because of trash xbow?

you forgot romans 💀

Noticed for Portuguese you didn't mention the Feitoria in late game. Does the extra resource generation not play into the late game strat?

I only disagree with cumans, they should be A tier

I don't get this tier list. Didn't you already do a trash unit tier list? Is this a list of imperial age strength or trash units?

First tier list i trully dont get. If its not post imp scenario then why so much focus on double non gold composition? We still have gold on a map. This stage of thr game usually is 1 gold and 1 non gold unit army

What if Dravidians had Wootz steel in Castle age? Will they become op?

im confused about the gold situation here.

Oh come on, you forgot romans again!!!!

Hv CA + hussar best comp, but huns are mid B-tier?

Winged hussar has +1 armor compared to regular hussar as well

Burgundians should be B at least but i respect

where are the romans?

Poor Celts.

To me, the best late game civilizations are Goths, Poles, Mongols, Chinese and Mayans. Regards.

Bohemia is S tier.

You've been playing M.O.B.A.s and we just end up copying the negative comments spammed by others/the toxics I suspect! Also I would think of Lith late game as being behind Aztecs. Atlatl-Skirms sniping your own halbs + skirm even with the pierce armour from further away and your Aztec eagle warriors tanking skirm shots & both units doing bonus damage to cavalry (yes one is far greater than the other) and so on. But even Burmese I could see doing well - apart from the Skirmishers being very very lacking in armour! My Magyars Huszars need to be able to leap... over pike lines, let them speed to those Siege units! Roccola thinks my farms/farm setups are beautiful... but I still use them to mass these Huszars, not the Polish ones. Could make an S+ such that you can say every one in S+ is technically equal. P.S. these large paragraphs - maybe we stay for the 50 minutes just to watch you Forget the Romans. You'll need to bring on a Romans Expert to make it up to that part of the community maybe.

D for Dravidians

Now do Best Early Game Civ!! thanks!!

This tierlist seems pretty wack considering the criteria you've set for it. For example, the meso civs don't have too many options in the trash unit department, especially aztecs and mayans. Turks are also pretty dead once the gold runs low. I've heard you say multiple times that the meso civs and civs like franks are on a time limit for the gold. If they don't win during that interval, it's gg. On the opposite end, take dravidians. I know you hate them, but all 3 of their trash units have something. Halbs and skirms are extra strong, while light cav can ignore armour. If you were talking about early imperial, I'd have no qualms. But you said that this list is under conditions where gold is low.
