Until I found Hera videos, all my wins were extremely messy. Now they're still super messy, but I totally know what I'm doing! lol

If there was a K1 intro: 19:17 Hera: "He can not hit me, and I can hit him" **Instantly loses archer to skrim** Hera sad music meme plays

I was exactly practicing this build today, great timing hera

I'm still working on the 1100 build and I almost reached 1400 ELO (I was 1100-1200) ! Thank you so much for your help and your insight Hera

I was today years old when I learned that stand ground for melee units will keep them from attacking random targets . Amazing learn

Literally started playing this, so good timing Hera!

HERA the LEGEND. WHAT A PRO. the others sit back as if you are to admire them. HERA shows you how to actually play.

I really love this series, helps a lot

Damn, I always used no attack stance on scouts, but never thought about archers. The amount of units I've lost to TCs when fixing eco is too damn high. No more! Thanks for these videos, great little advices!

I am ~1400, still learned a lot! Thx Hera!

love your content man, thank you so much for this.

Congrats on the superb HiddenCup, will sub tomorrow! Small Thing: Leave a little hint on what the next episode will be about at the end - it will keep people watching ;) Cant wait for my printed-out Build Orders, 1120 ELO pre-road-2-2k here ;)

The Stand Ground to attack one unit at a time is a big one, I almost always use Aggressive stance and I suppose when the units are condensed and can't immediately attack they just go right to another unit to attack. Makes sense, not sure how I missed that this whole time.

I was actually waiting for this!

As usual.. Amazing content Hera... MAA into archers is one of the most aggro build orders out there.... ->In next of these videos could you guide on how to split micro and dodge from mangonel shot coz thats where I struggle the most ? ->As a spin off.. you can also include Burmese two castle Arambai in Arena to spice things up a little.. .........All That being said...... love your content.. keep up the good work..... Hope to play with u one day...

Hey Hera, loving the series. Think you could do a video on a fast castle into unique unit build? I'm around 1300 elo right now and I love playing Spanish and dominating castle age with conquistadors. Thanks so much. Keep it up. :)

@hera, could throw "part x" or the "elo xxxx" into the title. i had a bit of trouble knowing if it was the right one in the sequence. But hey! Thank you for this guide! Obviously lots of practise on the game but equally just putting in hours. It's obvious that it's not only hotkeys etc. It's just as much your 10k hours letting you think properly and "multitask".

Great tips! Thanku

HERA DESERVES HIS PLACE OF HONOUR IN THE AOEZONE HALL OF FAME FOR SURE. A true trailblazer like kkab, Koven, Grunt & Halen.

I learned the MAA into archers from your first tutorial and went straight from 700 ELO to 1000. I even developed my own BO out of this one, which works only with japanese on four lakes, but it's really OP.

Me: Cool just hit 1300 time to check our Hera's suggestions Hera: Try the MAA Archers BO Me: But thats how I got to 1300

Hey Hera great vid as always i love to play alone but not as much with my friend if you could do a tutorial for 2v2 i would be so happy :D we are at 1800 elo in 2v2 ty really much

i would love to see this video was against a 1300 elo player and not the AI. It would illustrate way better the effectivness of what you learn, and also, what to do to resist against some pressure, because the AI just never really attack

I always put my first 6 sheep vils on control group 2. Thus I can quickly drop off food if there's missing some for the next vil and it helps for the boar kill. The boar vil is 3 and will be added to 2 after the lure.

Great work Hera.. I really appreciate your work..I would like to suggest something. I believe it will be better if you could play those games with that particular elo players instead of playing with the AI. I am sure you have a lot of supporters who could help you with that.

Hi hera, this series is very instructive. Thanks. But i think the old one, voobly version, was better. Those games were against real opponents. Real game situations are more instructive. Thanks again.

waiting for 1400 almost there

I literally always play this build order with Mayans and I never blocked units with my scout 1111 Bad days coming for my opponents now 105 Love the series! 🤟🏻

These videos are so useful. I am 1650 currently and I've learned something from each one of these videos. Can never understand players that say these are below their level if they are 11/1200. I honestly think these guides will get me to 1800 at least.

Hi Hera love your work. Can you play against players that have less elo than you to reveal low elo players mistakes and what to do to beat them. It helps us more than watching you play against 2k+ players or bots. Keep your good work always cheer for u xx

20:55 satisfaying mining camp 11

HERA great video. Srry didnt see hoe to "Go to" a grouped Unit? thnkyou in advance here. tommy

I learned MAA into archers is better than direct archers. going straight archers requires delaying feudal time and being vulnerable to skirmishers

after selecting multiple buildings (let's say three stables) what is the best way, shift production or just pressing the production shortcut multiple times. any other way to get one unit in each instead of 5 in each?

Hera your 1200 elo video got me to 1400, so now im really confused and don't know what to do. should I just skip this video entirely or should I derank back to 1300 so that this video works for me?

Hera, when is better to go for 1 range and blacksmith instead of 2 ranges right away? mostly of ur games (i have saw) u go for fast PLUS 1 attack.

If I had known to use the wall formation and stand ground I would have saved hundreds of MAA to TCs. Managed to get to 1100 on aggressive stance LOL

my problem is dark age n feudal BO is decent, but once im in castle age/imp, it all goes up in flames. just not too good at seeing multiple things on the map at once, micro is a joke n when im being raided i realise after 30 vils r dead 11

Ruthless! 😂

that's actually gold

Miss those curtains :')

Everyone talking about skills but have you seen this god damn map? 2 back golds 1 right up the TC, no hill on wall space and the woodlines aren’t bad either

God I had this strat done against me at 1050 ELO It almost worked until I flattened the archers with a mango heheh But my god it was terrifying. These first three build orders are gonna carry me for sure

I would like this video but it’s currently at 69 likes and 690 views, can’t ruin this magical alignment. Thanks for these vids Hera!

you might have to settle this mill-touching-berries controversy with SOTL

These Hera guides are responsible for the average player to be 900 ELO.. dhaha

love ur videos Buddy! Thanks for all the great Content! sorry about the redbull lose :( U had him man lol oo well ... Next time Its urs 4 sure - H0LLYW00D - :)

Hera, why didn't you still show us how you garrison and then ungarrison 2-3 vills right on the deer next to TC. This secret is still not revealed. How do pro's do this and how do they do quick walls gates?

I was 600 ELO and wondering if I was good enough for the game, watched the first 2 videos, now I'm 800.

Can someone explain the use of box formation here? Hera said that it keeps them tighter together but isn't Line formation the tightest formation? And I've noticed him toggling between Line formation and Box formation while avoiding enemy arrows but isn't Flank/Split formation a better choice for avoiding enemy shots?

Hi Hera, why don't play ir on the ladder?

Why not put your mining camp between stone and gold? Too forward or an oversight?

POG

stop bullying the AI I feel bad for it :(

I felt sorry for the AI , such a massacre haha

Hera! I have a question; why is the MAA upgrade so important? I see some people D rush with normal militia.. Is it because they cant vill fight the MAA?

So this is why the game vs Daniel was paused.. 11

Hera, instead of playing a game vs a bot, you should grab clips from other existing games vs pro players, it would be much more accurate and engaging. Thx for the content i was really looking forward to this one, and will to the next one aswell

Why he build two ranges before blacksmith? Can someone help me on this?

How’s ur meeting Hera

all other pros know only to flex and talk about random stuff. hera actually cares about the player base

no way, i was just practicing this build!

where is the next episode ;-;

🇨🇦

Wanna skip and take a shortut? Use Burgundians.

Straight archers works far better for me, imo M@A take a lot of resources and you’re not able to make many archers in feudal age with fletching

What do I do, if the enemy is all walled up by the time I reach his base with MAA and then he sends 3-5 scouts in my base? I am struggling to play this against any cav. civ. Even if I am attacking with my MAA at the enemies base, I am struggling to manage my eco in my own base because of the scouts. Also the archers aren't able to do much once the enemy is all walled up and reaches castle before me.

Thanks for the fantastic BO and the micro guides. I'd love to see you try this with civs other than Ethiopian, like goths. Because the 100 food and gold boost in feudal helped here in researching m@a/wood upgrade/fletching/vils. I, being a noob just am not confident enough to try this with any civs I get from 'random'. Thanks bro.

Yes but if you play arena with this extreme AI it will kill you

Is it only me, but I don't think that following just basic BO in 2022 (eg. scout rush, archer rush, FC) is not getting you to the 1K? I'm constantly struggling around 900, even though I tend to apply basic techniques (consistent development along dark age, walling, boar luring, applying the pressure in terms of rush builds..). I might be lame, though ;). But I don't believe in what is said in @Hera videos or the commnets that "just following archer rush will get you to 1200". People with 920 - 950 can be super aggressive, with maa / drushes or very good at counterfighting in Castle age, it's a struggle. Max I got was 940 and there's around 100 ranked games already played by me. What about you?

I wonder if this guy ever goes outside and interacts with people 😂

im waiting 1400 i cant up in 1400:((

Where is Sandy???

I always thought it's a bug when my units would randomly attack other units instead of the one I clicked. It turns out to be the stances. Was it the same in Conquerors?

Can you transition into cav archers later on?

its funny how off pros are about rating, this is like 700 elo stuff, never seen a 6 or 700 elo not do this stuff (700 elo myself)

I feel like this is a very low elo build order. If you go up with 21 vils on 1300 you will get murdered, as people tend to go up with 19 or 20.

this?1300elo??? no wall?

I really don't think there's any correlation between the ELO numbers Hera uses and the concepts he talks about. Literally everyone at 800 elo knows all these build orders.

Hera at 1300 elo your oponent dont play like the IA

Nerf BRITONS pls

why not play against one of your 1300~ elo viewers while making the guide?

why not playing against an acutal 1,3 k player?
