Can’t remember much about this to be honest. If it doesn’t need deer then yes it’s still good.

@@MorleyGames1 I did it without pushing a single deer, but felt like i had to drop off alot.

@@joshstacey5407 that’s because this isn’t a build order guide (title says nothing about it being a guide)….. this is demonstrating how i wrecked a 1v1 (as the title does say). If you watch til the end the build order is linked. Or check the main channel page.

@@MorleyGames1 oh right yeah sorry

@@send_love yup, one of the first vids i made

@MorleyGames1 still helpful

@@KingDirtyThunderblade-hi4yf it was using a replay so it’s the spectator UI

Hirsirs should have done well, with another counter units

@@Versatile-2-j2t this was an old team game meta strat

@ yeah i was wondering maybe its an old style srtat

Ofc bro

@@regggggggggg yes. Can probably be done faster nowadays

Pro strats

@@drybones9807 the reason for this is all from community feedback tbh. Eveyone complained that return of Rome should have just been ancient aoe2 rather than a direct port of aoe1. This DLC is a separate game mode and has nothing to with the medieval civs. Not a cash grab. Having played the campaign i can tell you that this is the best made DLC to date. If it’s not for you, that’s fine but it’s certainly not a cash grab. I think the main game is extremely stale and boring right now so this does make it more interesting

The goal of the DLC isn't for everything to fit together historically. That's why the DLC campaign is self-contained, and you only encounter DLC civs in it. That is also why these civs aren't in ranked play. They could have been prevented from interacting with medieval civs, but people would have complained, so the devs opened up interaction between all civs in private lobbies and single player skirmish. The nice thing is if you bought the DLC and don't like this dynamic, you can use the new favorite option to filter them out, or you can also uninstall the DLC once you're done with the campaign. Personally, I don't mind. We already have civs like Huns, Goths and arguably Romans that don't fit in with a medieval timeframe, or units like Woad Raiders which are definitely not a medieval unit. We also already have crazy geographic inaccuracies, like having Mayans vs Ethiopians fighting for control of Socotra

@@jh3115 that’s awesome! It took a slight nerf here and there with patches but glad it’s still working well!

@@Freexers you have to edit the code.

Thank you, i thought so

I tried this with chinese fairly recently. Seemed ok but was easily countered with skirms and mangonels. Was a defensive castle rather than a castle drop though as it was 13:35 in game

@@Ryan-is-me most of an RTS game is about being able to adapt. The multitude of possibilities that could happen later in a game can’t be added on to a build order guide. However this is kinda all-in so if you don’t have the upper hand it’s gg.

@@jackjman5577 there’s been a lot of changes to towers since this video was made. It’s 4 years old. If your opponent is finding your first tower, you’re going too far in to their base. You need to build one back a bit first, then 2nd tower goes on the spot you’re trying to deny

@@TheSrikanp glad it worked for you :)

@@ChrissieBear yes i realised later in the video

From what I heard its only for land games and skirmishes as their disabled rank and general lobbies. Probably because how differently they play to conventional civs that it would be a nightmare to balance them against the rest of aoe roster.

@@Wrecths As a casual, I just need more civs in single player. I hope that will be available.

@@AnthonyAvon I can confirm this, I've already played some skirmishes as DLC civs vs medieval civs in single player. I've also seen lobbies where people are playing them apparently.

@@afz902k I already had it preordered, and I was so glad that to see it is possible to play them all. But for now I'm slowly going through the campaign.

@@AnthonyAvon same, hf! I've done the first two scenarios on hard trying to get the achievements, so far I'm satisfied. Only thing I can complain about is the graphics for the new units... I don't know if I'm right but they "seem" to rotate less smoothly, like they don't have all the rotational angles (frames) rendered as the older units do? Dunno maybe I'm wrong!

@@ivanstrydom8417 i feel exactly the same. Best DLC so far for me

@@hermeticheretic i agree

I honestly can’t see any difference in quality

Do you mean unit icons?

@@riseALK Yes. Played a lot of Rome: Total War mods, we called them unit cards back then. And they had that exact issue where modders would simply "screenshot" their units and put it on their icon and it wouldn't be quite as clean as the units from the original game. I'm glad the units ingame look fantastic though.

@@couchpotatoe91 All AoE2 unit icons are screenshots. Right from AoK release till DE. You can see them all in high resolution on the aoe fandom wiki.

@@couchpotatoe91 yes there are a lot of cool mechanics here. Honestly i think this is the best dlc
