My father still plays this game everyday. He is 81. Keeps his mind busy. He always plays as Brits. Edit: My Father passed away at the end of November. He played up until the 10th November aged nearly 82.

How to balance your production buildings in 1v1: - 1 Barracks - 1 Range - 1 Stable - 1 Castle - 2 Markets

This reminds me of when the game was new new. I played online and was bad-mostly bad. Got a 1v1 with a random dude and got DESTROYED. The guy took the next 4 hours to play games with me and give me a ton of advice. I still remember it today and am still super grateful that he helped me get better at one of my favourite games ever! Seriously, whoever you are/were, thanks again 20 years later!

"What are the odds that blue doesn't resign until his last villager is killed?" *>implying he would ever resign like a coward.*

Their playing is so innocent. It is really wholesome to watch these low elo guys duke it out.

Those villagers aren’t idle. They’re just supervising

Confession: Sometimes, on a land map, if there's even a small pond, I will build a dock just to research all upgrades.

This is actually inspiring, seeing that there are actual people worse then me. Watching matches of top players gives you this feeling that you have no place in online games.

I love that i am sitting in my chair laughing at this game and knowing in the back of my mind both of them would beat me with ease xd

Meanwhile, me, an intellectual, losing to moderate AI 1v1

"Can you see their APM?" "I can see it *very* clearly."

53:55 this broke my damn heart, holy shit, those poor units slaughtered like that because of their pacifistic beliefs.

To be fair they played balls out, all guns blazing with no walls on BF. They've earned my respect

When me and my friends played against each other on LAN back in the early 2000s we never attacked before everyone was in imperial age :p

This is how I played Age of empires back before I started watching SotL

Watches low elo legends Me: Wow, I'm way better than these people Me after playing 1 multiplayer game: No I'm not

I just checked the ranking of Droogiz, he is currently rank 17.530 out of 17.649. I am not sure if we will ever see a lower Low elo legend.

The low elo series it's the best. Being someone below 1000 myself I find it really useful. Also there's some basic stuff that I do know and it's so funny to see what they do.

This is actually more interesting then watching pro-gamers 😂

"Blue could deny that with his scout" >implying anyone is scouting in castle age in a 500 ELO blackforest game.

12:30 they're running drills and training exercises for when the real battle stars, you know for ultimate roleplay

"Can you see their APM" I'm pretty sure at 500 ELO you can see their APM by marking each action on a tally.

54:10 Narrator: "It was a bad time for the soldiers to make one minute of silence for the death of Joan of Arc."

I chop the stragglers too, here is the reason: they get in the way of perfect farms.

11:30 probably thinks it's more efficient to put the blacksmith exactly next to the barracks for ultimate roleplay

"Reminds me of a simpler time", honestly why I have trouble getting into ranked/competitive RTS games. Build orders and timing absolutely make for a more efficient game, but it's so much more mechanical and almost .. less fun? For me?

As a relatively new player with ranked anxiety, I want to say thank you for making these low elo casts. They legitimately help me with my reluctance to jump into ranked, and make me want to play more.

Im nowhere near an AoE god, I can barely call myself a beginner lol. But it kills my soul watching both of them put all their siege in front of their armies xD "Oh I'm getting attacked? Better hold em off with my trebs so that my paladin can escape!"

T90 sugarcoating their mistakes with 'out of the game' logics is hilarious XD

The no attack stance massacre was absolutely brutal to watch, but also unfortunately the funniest moment in this game for me

Simpler times yes. I member. I played most rts games in a roleplaying fashion in the past, still kind of do. Multiplayer games were fun especially in lotr but now people just all do the same optimised stuff, FeelsBadMan. You had to learn yourself and enjoyed doing it, now learning a game is like a university course.

The endgame had me on the edge of my seat for all the wrong reasons. Beautiful.

"I want to upgrade these dudes somehow, so let's click it" that was me way back in the day.

"Red cares for the men in his country" One minute later, Red send all his troops to massacre.... that's a special caring XD

"He died in 62" got me haha

Camels are ships of the desert so heated shot works here

I’ve never laughed so hard when red had his units on stand ground

When I was a kid I used to play Franks mostly because of their strong paladins, cheep castles and free farm upgrades. Build walls, make castles and towers, defend, push with mostly paladins and trebs. Also I mostly forgot about my blacksmith upgrades until the late game. When not playing campaigns I usually played against an easy AI, made about 30 villagers and felt good. I had 1 production building of each type at a time, because why spend precious resources on on extra, when you have all the time to build up an army behind your walls? Also I think I had 30 villagers habit due to original game campaigns, where you had 75 population limit. And also due to Age of Empires I experience. I never ever used any keyboard hotkeys and had a slow reaction on idle villagers. Instead I collected all the relics I possibly could. Besides Franks I loved byzantines, britons, teutons and persians (for war elephants, of course). These low elo players somewhat remind me about those days, although I was too shy to try and play multiplayer. I have a feeling that they are rather young themselves, although I may be wrong of course.

I love this, it feels so organic and natural, it actually feels like two towns in the Middle Ages , not a high grade competitive Rugby match.

You know what? These low ELO legend videos are interesting and fun to watch 90% thanks to your "like-a-jerk" comments, laughs, sighs and emotional expressions. So just be emotional as you have been.

At 30:32 T90Official forgot that in AoE as an easter egg camels also receive bonus damage from heated shot like ships cause a camel is also called the "ship of the desert". The red player simply wanted to make his castle strong against camels. So the red player simply did not realize that his opponent cannot make camels as a Franks. That was the red player's real mistake there. XDD

16:55 great sentiment. I felt too intimidated by watching pros play and was amazed at how well I could do on ranked matches once I finally tried :D

This guys are total Chads, I remember that when I started playing enclose myself inside tons of walls and towers and quietly waited for the enemy to attack my base

That's the funniest AOE video I've ever seen in my life. Thank You T90. You're the best. I'm also learning English from your videos. I'm russian native speaker)

those were the really fun days playing age2: you played with a bunch of friends on local network. nobody was good. you kind of explored to game during the match. found out new things. at some point things escalated and there was a big battle with random units :)

T90bully is back

Played AoE for the first time on one of the earliest IBM computers almost 2 decades ago. Played it religiously. Stumbled across your videos and I bought it within the hour to play again. Nostalgic

“We May very well be looking at players who do not have hotkeys....” I’d be surprised if they have keyboards...

What I've seen sometimes is that the "one big fight" doesn't end. Noobs with decent economic output just continue throwing more and more men into the meat grinder.

Hey Heated shot USED to deal extra damage to Camels!

I love watching these matches because it reminds me of when my friend and I verse each other and just chill out and enjoy the game for what it is without crazy pressure to build up quick.

This series reminded me of my childhood. Played a lot of AoE with no idea what I'm doing. I just bought DE and I'll give it a try with a bit more understanding (not very much).

I still remember when I thought that having more than 2 TCs was crazy! and when other players did it I couldn't understand

19:17 i love that goldminer who has to walk around the entire gold pile AND EVEN THE BOAR to dropp off some gold

I just found your channel a couple of days ago and you inspired me reinstall AoE2 which I've played for a long time (since the original release actually). However, I never played competitively on the internet and the funny thing about this video is that they both do a lot of what I still do when playing, although I'm much better at controlling my units in battle. It's kind of ridiculous to realize that you're still a complete noob even after playing a game intermittently for about 20 years! But I like the fact that even if you're amused by their lack of skill, you never humiliate them. You laugh with them and not of them. And I think that inherent respect that you within you is what makes you a great and entertaining host.

I've never played AoE and only discovered this channel 2 months ago. This is might be the first gaming video I've CRIED laughing twice! That ram getting annihilated by the camels and then red losing their whole army to vils and a few troops was amazing

17:09 Thanks for your words, I’ve been watching your videos since during December and I’ve always been a casual single player but after seeing/hearing this I might give a chance to online mode.

"He thought patrol was an upgrade" !!! Hahahaha

13:00 i guess thats what he learrned in the army. Solders have to walk up and down the "barracks" all the day to get strong :-) Is drill the correct englisch term for that?

This was the absolute best video to watch as a new player. I've watched a lot of your other videos, but seeing you point out these flaws was priceless. I hope I can find more!

I think Blue thought Red was going to quit after the Castle went down lol

"you played 2 hours to die like this?"

T90, I cant believe this. I finally started playing AOE2 after a decade of not playing since seeing one of your videos. After watching this, I am playing multiplayer from now on!!

"Blue's army is like an expired bag of chex mix" - LOL pure comedic gold right there.

"I would eat an expired bag of Chex Mix." -T90, 10/30/20 LIVESTREAM THIS BOIIIIIIIII

Back in the day, when I used to design my base like a proper city with roads and stuff lol.

I haven’t played this game for probably 20 years haha, I’ve been really enjoying watching your vids the last week. I even downloaded the game again, happy times gaming down memory lane, keep up the good work mate and thanks.

I loved watching this video, reminds me of my first years playing the game not knowing all the tactics and build orders. Those were the best times.

0:40 "Not trying to be a jerk" **Looks at thumbnail** yeah, okay..

this gives me hope T90 will cast one of my games one day.

I've watched this channel for 2 years now, this is absolutely the most dramatic, skillful, and entertaining game ever. We need these guys in the hidden cup 3!

The most wholesome bit in this whole thing is when T90 said 'Type a kappa in chat if your micro is also like a 140-year-old Federer' and a FLOOD of kappas follow. With you on that one.

Indeed I am one of those who says, "I could never play online." The computer just trashes me so often.

36:00 r we gonna ignore the fact that there is a bear attacking vil during the fight XDXDXD ??

Dude thank you!! just keep these low elo games coming!! I find them strangely entertaining.

Hi! Your Low ELO Legends videos are pure gold. They helped me to finally take the jump into multiplayer. I've already won two games. Thanks!!

your casting is legendary :D i laughed way too hard the whole time

2:50 no worries they're just admiring their craftsmanship.

that gif of you chopping a tree and it cracking in the wrong place. Pure gold.

This was brilliant. Superb casting, I was in stitches. More low elo please.

I play on "moderate" in HD and this makes me wonder if I should play online... Players not taking their boars was killing me

"The point is you don't need gold and stone in dark age" *stares in Hoang*

I love watching your videos when I'm sad. They're calm, methodical, the same thing every time. You're voice is relaxing and pleasant, you're nice, you don't shit on bad moves, everything gets noticed and mentioned. The overall formulaic and relaxing quality makes it very therapeutic to me.

I'm loving how different this is. Literally how we all started back in the day on AoK. Loving how you're cringing inside lmao!

I'm gonna buy DE on weekend. You conviced me. T90

34:45 this moment is the best of the entire game

Legit the funniest vid i've watched in years :,D THanks to the players and caster... brilliant

Man, I was tottaly addicted to this game, when it came out in 1997. I remember I spent 300$ a month for internet, just to play it on "zone". I think it was the only game I have ever paid for... memories hit hard right now. I'm glad people still plays it.

the moment when you thinkl to yourself: "dayum, these guys are better than me" #feelsbadman

T90 wants to be educational but throws in so many ironic "tips" that a true low elo player would not understand them.

Just recently found this page love AoE 2. I stay because you are hilarious 🤣

This series teaches me in a fun way. Please keep it up.

I've never clicked so fast in my life

1:01:25 oh thank god it's over, red seemed to believe he had to petard every blue building to the last house.

"this reminds me of a simpler time" so true bro

Bro these videos are so good because it’s insightful and your reviews along the way and suggestions are a great help man. Seeing these videos ppl making these mistakes and you explaining what they’re doing wrong and should be doing instead it’s helping me learn way faster.

I have a low ELO game in my records that you can make a lot of laugh! Ask me to send it to you whenever you want m8.

Watching those games makes mw feel like a pro... But i really suck at microing my troops and keeping my Eco up after mid Castle Age... Looks like i am one of the "ok" elo legends

I love how you're giving them a backstory and her reasons to narrate the lives of these villagers

28:45 Default hotkey to build a farm is a-a; to build an outpost is s-a. If he was already on the military building screen, it makes pretty good sense.
