Props to Hardy for those sweet camera snap edits :)

Love to see an up and coming aoe2 streamer and caster like yourself T90. Pro tip if you get a mouse you can click around on the map in the bottom right so that you don't have to scroll around the map using arrow keys! Keep up the good work!

The veteran knight officer leading the shotels was so cute. And he and most of his men lived.

@33:39 “off to charge my mouse” legendary sign-off stuff pro casters are made of

T90 having to use the arrow keys mid game was hilarious

Mouse being dead feels like a fever dream...

The slow scrolling without the mouse reminds me how I used to play when I first started.

Just realised I played this guy about a month ago in an absolutely wild game where he did this. I'd forgotten his legend video, I should have known what was coming!

T90 you are now officially, by you tube stats, more popular than the t90 tank. Congrats 🎉.

zztop had like 1500 wood for like 8 minutes lol. I was like begging him to seed farms only for him to sell all the wood and buy food XD

I frickin love this guy! My favourite thing about ZZTop is how he makes building-walls from his starting wood line to his Town Center. Any feudal age rush is funneled towards the TC and can't get close to the bulk of the eco. If there are Scouts he just makes two Spearmen to block the holes in the wall. My second favourite thing about ZZTop is _Scorpions, yeah baby!!_

I remember the old video, it's a great time. Would love to see more of this madman.

4:20 "Look at the amount of villagers in queue! ...gonna be 23 villagers for zz in dark age" At first I thought T90 was just really bad at math but then I realized he's a pro caster and counted the 1 scout as a villager when he looked at 19 pop and 4 vills in queue 😂

They need to put a rolling ball back in the mice but it powers a generator for the battery = infinite power mouse.

Legendary battle at the end there, what an absolute slaughter.

I actually liked when you used the directional keys to navigate the camera. It made it feel more realistic, like I was watching an actual battle.

This video was a one stop shop of showcasing a unique strategy and providing laughs when your mouse died and I could hear the disappointment in yourself 11 no worries. Nice job Hardy with the camera flashes to previous games.

As an enjoyer of the ethiopian civ I would love to see more, I feel they have so many more game plans available then people really think.

This is really unique defense, more of this guy FOR SURE

Delightful cast! Let's go ZZ heavy scorps!!

Didn't quite get the full coverage of outposts this time, but at least he's learnt to get relevant blacksmith upgrades. Would be interesting to see a loss of his, where somebody presumably gets the timed attack you describe right.

This guy's playstyle is really cool. Kind of reminds me of Ketroc in SC2. Fun, weird build orders that are surprisingly affective and probably tilt the hell out of opponents. Glorious

One of your best videos troughout the last weeks. Interessting Playstyle from zztop

What an absolute madman, I love it!

Lmao,someone baited T90 into wireless mouse Wireless mouses are like imping with TC in the enemy base and that imp TC is sorrounded by 25 trebs

The Show-Tell doesn’t stop here!!

Love for Hardy

T90, the battery in a wireless mouse will turn on a red LED, usually near the wheel, to indicate the battery voltage is running low. This will happen long before the batteries are dead to give you time to replace them. It is common enough for a wireless mouse to have issues even if the batteries are not going bad. The simple fix is to take out the batteries and put them back in. This will often re- initiate the mouse so you can use it again.

*USB connection sound intensifies* great game, great editing ;)

The lights in the room went out just before T90 said, "Whoa," at 2:48.

lol love the mouse death. i'll never switch from wired!

Yep that was great. More ZZ please.

They don't really explore what he is doing. They just see a couple of units, you should always check the army of the opponent. Against higher levels he would probably die in castle age, but it's still a great strat, it's really solid.

Love more zztop! I just keep learning more about this crazy game.

Definitely show more and please get a hold of this guy if you can

My favourite legend. Zed Zed Top

@T90Offical I love my corsair Harpoon RGB gaming mouse, it is wireless, but the plug for the mouse turns it into a wired mouse. It was pretty cheap too, maybe $60

I need the zztop build order. I like the ethiopians extra res when going up but suck at archers :D

more vids with arrow key moving

Zz was floating a lot and not producing that many resources. Could have gone archers again also

THE SHO NEVER STOPS

Amazing strategy!

RIP T90's mouse, 1 like = 1 pray 11, amazing video, I remember the guy!!

Yo Hardy working overtime with the edits!

Homie has over 4k games as Ethiopians and 600 games with all other civs combined!

GG to ZZ!

ZZTop has learned about blacksmith upgrades! Also gained about 100 elo since the last video (1500 -> 1600). Coincidence?

i might not be the first one but did you know youre referenced in a book. a german book called "echtzeitalter" youre first seen on page 72 just if you care. its a fictiv book about a boy playing lots of aoe2 ive seen this reference and was like does that guy actually exist? yeah, you do.

Wired mouse >>>>>>> wireless mouse

27:27 Highlight

27:36 :)

i really hope its Zander Zachery Thompson born sep 1942

T90, about the dead long sword confusing you. There were two enemy long swords from red. Blue pulled his military back and started converting the front long sword while the 2 units ran diagonal. The conversion completed on first long sword which makes the unit stop. The stop let the second long sword get within hit box range of the former friend long sword. So to answer T90, the red long sword was killed by a blue long sword that used to be red but was converted a second before

omg I am dying about the mouse

You guys remember the wireless mouse with the wired mousepads? I thought they were a great idea. Just needed a little larger mousepad. I wonder why they disappeared...

@33:59 this is why you don't do wireless

will a forward vill laming all deers in dark age work?

Converted swordsman accurally slowed the raid party11

I feel like zztop's strategy would be a whole lot better if he learned how to boom properly

more zz!! is goodd!

ZZ may not have had the best micro game, but he did react in a competent way, and it ended up saving him the game at one point.

Imagine your wireless mouse dying in the middle of a tournament. You'd never hear the end of it.

Don't forget red!

21:10 :)

Red with an AI base

Just feel obligated to let you know you can have a backup wireless mouse. Looking forward to a cast with arrow-keys exclusively. I prefer that pace honestly

I know the player name for some reason (no not because the band lol) but I have no Idea where from, maybe I saw the original video

19:53 It sure wasn't me recommending the wireless mouse. I think they are annoying.

Pro caster btw 💀

Spoiler: it was the a freshly converted longswordsman who killed the red one

The maintenance of computer equipment is unforgiving, but you can make a difference. For the low cost of one like, you can save a poor dead mouse from running put of batteries. Donate today

People like this are so frustrating to play against. It's almost like playing AI to where they have their plan and nothing you do is going to stop them. I am sure if red took him down to one villager and 1 tc, given the opportunity, he would have ended up with this exact same composition in another ~50 mins. Sure he will probably never advance above ~15XX but he'll probably never go below it either. Also, the real beauty of this is the 1/2 knights. I've been on the receiving side of that and it freaks you out so you start scrambling and making bad choices because in your mind a wave of 20 knights is coming. Also, the huge score lead from scouting like that is probably very intimidating. I wonder if it's intentional.

t90 casully blaming somebody else for suggesting he get a wireless mouse then proceeding to say he just got a new mouse lmaoooo.

It feels to me that ZZT0942 is more of a macro player who has used his micro to defend his macro... It's interesting to see he doesn't really produce too much military until the late game. Easy to micro a few units and star macroing.

If red only attacked in the castle age with full power doubling down on those men at arms be could of won. He gave the brdathing dpace to his opponent and didn't really kill villagers.

imptresting, imptresting, imptresting

T90 needs two mice his batteries are always low.

Man its so demoralizing to see the enemy fc that quick on arabia, you cant addapt fast enough and from then on its just survival mode

Why don't you have a backup wired mouse? lol

You got one of my seldom likes. Cordless mice are as bad as windows in PC cases.

Maybe have a backup wired mouse already plugged in case this happens again. But thanks for sharing this game! Love seeing alternative strategies.

This is your job mate you should be more prepared

23:50 I be whispering in my girl's ear like

Bro has an apple mouse😅

aya i swear wirles mouse is so overrated shit constantly out of akku and loses connection 🤮

Sorry what's so special about this strat? Mass scorpions? I've run into plenty of people at low ELO using that strat (and used it myself a few times). Vulnerable early, but a big deathball of scorpions is really hard to stop once it gets going.

this def has some fatslob vibes to it indeed

Mouse disconnecting sound so rude. How can we take it

First

nice game regaring your mishap with the mouse. so what. you explained your situation and professionalism often shows when something unexpected happens and you can come up with a solution on the fly. so there was a windows sound for connecting a usb device. so what. don't worry about it.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

T90, stop begging for likes and subs, dang man 🤦‍♂️🤣
