Answer: to the left
In this video, we look at the specific interactions between Monks and Relics vis-à-vis picking them up and putting them down.... or dropping them when they die.

Monks drop the relic to the left because the relic is being "left" on the ground xD Great video of answering a question no one bothered to ask.

My suspicion is that when the monk dies in the first test the relic tries to go to the tile to the West, but the game occasionally thinks the dead monk is still in that tile blocking the relic spawn so it goes to the next available tile, i.e. the South one. This fix was to prevent the monks from hiding in/behind the relics, iirc Viper had got to a point where he could semi-reliably hide his monks in/behind relics on hideout/arena.

It looks like the game is doing a check to see if there's a monk in a tile before it allows a relic to spawn in that tile

Viper was 100% bluffing/joking when he said that he knew how to do it reliably. He mimed to his stream that he had no idea why it happened.

14:26 I'm curious about what happens the Monk enters the transport from an island, if you fill the entire island before the transport is destroyed.

Ornlu the monk isn't in the middle of the 3x3 jail. For that, the jail needs to be 7x7 with the middle tile missing.

Ah, I see editor Ornlu can count.

@matthewmcneany 2 ай бұрын

But regarding the big jail. There comes a point at which the diagonal distance is further than the cardinal direction distance ('cos Pythagoras) so the function isn't going to the next ring of tiles and starting at the far left. It should be the point at which the rounding difference between sqrt(distance)-distance >1 (so three). So for a 2x2 jail the relic doesn't check if the diagonal spots are empty as it considers the diagonal and cardinal distances to be the same, but for a 3x3 jail the distances don't appear the same after rounding so it uses the closer diagonal distance. (if someone had done the 3x3 jail properly, we could've seen this)

Hey guys, spirit of the ornlu here

i find it funny how the relic teleports to nearest land (if from water) and then moves super fast in a few frames to the final location.

If you slow things down with the transport, the relic appears in the tile where the monk was last for just a fraction of a second before moving to the leftmost tile.

For a second I thought you got the old saladin horns of hatin speedrun trick to work. Oh well....

@boo00oo021 2 ай бұрын

What happens if the monk drops relic/dies one tile to the right of a monastery? Does it spawn in the monastery?

@jean-rogernosecondname1281 2 ай бұрын

So does that mean we can make a relic climb a cliff?

@RennieAsh 2 ай бұрын

I tested this in AoE original and the artifact just drops where the transport ship dies.

@matthewmcneany 2 ай бұрын

I want to see what happens if there's a monk on the opposite side of the arena corner when the monk to the right or the corner gets deleted. (I'd bet that the relic spawns in the tile to the South of the dead monk.)

@matthiasthalmann1387 2 ай бұрын

What happens to a relic if the monastery where it is stored gets destroyed? Does it also jump over obstacles?

@GabivanderKooij 2 ай бұрын

What if the whole map is blocked with water or buildings (including or excluding the tile the monk is on) and the monk holding the relic dies?

@lukeciancio6195 2 ай бұрын

We need T-West to figure it out! This is very much a T-West video

@the_emigrant 2 ай бұрын

I wonder what would happen in a completely occupied map if the monk dies. Would the relic disappear or would it take the place where monk was, being it the only free tile ? Also in water if the whole map is occupied where would the relic go ?

@OrnLu_AoE 2 ай бұрын

I decided I'm going to make a follow up video to answer these burning questions you guys have!

@Roa16 2 ай бұрын

Watching this video I've been thinking that since aoe2 has been introducing so many auto features recently or really quick specific hotkeys, I hope they also make a "Collect every discovered relic" button to the monks. Thank me later for the genius idea ^_^ This is a pamphlet and a joke, please treat it accordingly, thanks!

Shotcut. It's nothing fancy, but it's free and works for what I need/am capable of doing haha

@cristianionut2767 2 ай бұрын

okay, but what if you block all the tiles from the water all the way to the left edge of the map?

@Icagel0 2 ай бұрын

It will still follow the same logic and spawn to the left in closest unoccupied space. The relic has to go somewhere. (Now if you occupy the whole map I'm not sure.)
