He planned to kill the kings all along. He baited them with the wonder. They couldn't ignore it, it's a ticking clock pressuring them to act. So of course they're going to transition to water, and they're going to have to go hard because he had a massive, ridiculous navy. Once he was sure they'd taken the bait all he had to do was transition to land and build a lean, efficient sniping army. Awe-inspiring deception.
This was next level, he was playing them all but somehow did it with a bit of charm. And that "execute order 66" when he turned on everyone was brilliant
Sir Explosive Hopper is clearly better than BlueCoffee. He genuinely helps other players, speaks more convincingly, and has better military strategy. Also, don't forget that he won the exploding kings on Pilgrims game in addition to the previous "legend" video.
Speechless after that game, incredible strategy. Everything benefited him in short-term, mid-term, and long-term. The other people weren't even making obvious mistakes, Blue just out-played them - it's like the entire game was a book written by Blue and his own win was already determined from the very beginning.
Did anyone else catch the EXECUTE ORDER 66!!!? The guy went to the wonder and they all deleted land armies to make sea armies, while he built a land-based sniping force. He controlled them like they were clones with control chips in their head!
It is possible... Blue Coffee hasn't been around in a long time as he became too notorious and everyone would gang up on him as a result. That's when you quit, or you smurf. Guess we'll only ever know if/when they're rigged into a game together. :P
Can’t stop thinking how different the game would’ve been if red didn’t disconnect. Probably he would have been played like a fiddle as well by Hopper 😅
My thoughts on blue at the 35 minute mark. The reason he gets to be passive and the reason he isn’t being called out is because of the war he essentially orchestrated. He created a chaotic battle in the center with murky alliances that were relatively equally matched. Anyone bothers to call blue out at that point only ends up tipping the balance of power against them. Meanwhile blue can sit back and snipe the victor before they regain their strength
not only was his diplo superb, his skills for macro-eco to military on water to wonder to land military, with the order 66 a man with strategy, execution, but most of all humor. world class
Those videos make me want to pledge my liege to Explosive ... wait, sorry, it's SIR Explosive Hopper. Absolutely genius. Next feature request for CaptureAge would be "Diplo APM", measuring the messages and clicks for diplo settings per minute.
I just wanted to say - let's keep war and declarations of war inside, and not outside games. We wish to play with bits inside a computer, not to play with human lifes. T90 you are a force of positivity, now as always.
Hopper and Blue Coffee absolutely need to be in a community diplo game together. If you can mix in some players who are pretty good at diplo as well, it'd be incredibly fun to watch.
The games lately have been such high quality and so entertaining. This was a masterclass in diplo. Just so good. The bait and switch to take out kings on land towards the end was amazing
picked up the game because of you im quite bad only been playing a couple weeks but have got a decent feudal age time for 700 elo and combing that was instant pressure on the opponent(scout rush) ive picked up a few wins just from people seeing my units and resigning, started playing huns and it has improved my up time alot as something as simple as remebering to build houses all the time would always slip my mind.
Hey man don’t worry and don’t rush. Those days are awesome when you’re figuring it out. I’ve been playing since covid started and I shift between 800-1000 elo. There’s a huge amount of still great players around this level, makes you appreciate how godly the pros are.
Player: I have a wood problem. T90: Yeah, there's a pill for that. Don't need to bring that conversation into Age of Empires. We're a wholesome community. HAHAHA
It would be awesome to see a community game with blue coffee and explosive hopper. Preferably a map with lots of water because they both seem to love navy
They really need a reconnecting system in that game, but I think it's like asking for the Da Vinci code. It's sad to just lose players who were doing a lot, and couldn't even had a chance to do anything, red probably was fuming without being able to use his navy.
- causes a 3 way war on the mainland so people will neglect naval forces and wear each other down. - strategically takes out problem players with good micro and canon galleons - builds wonder to win game He planned it all from the start
I feel the same way after watching this that I felt after watching Boston Rob win Survivor season 22. I've seen a perfect game. No one will play it better.
I am always of the opinion that anyone too silver-tongued should be the first to be purged in such games. I even have a list of silver-tongued devils on the off chance I end up in one of these games
You know what would be awesome? A top 10 community games kind of like how ESPN did a top 10. I know it would be a ton of work but just a thought. Happy to help if I can.
Hey T90, looked it up and Teezily (France) and Moteefe (England) are Teespring competitors in Europe. Hope these help you with the international shipping issue for your European fans.
I wanna see a game where every player behaves like Explosive Hopper. Would they even trust each other? They might have a "only chat all" rule but then they'd all break it and be trying to play each other 😂😂
4:20 lmao I am red-green colorblind and also can't see the orange dots on minimap Rather, the dots are almost indistinguishable without trying really hard to find them
I heard Hopper once did an ExtremeAI 1v5, and won because he taunted the AIs to destroy each other. True story.
He planned to kill the kings all along. He baited them with the wonder. They couldn't ignore it, it's a ticking clock pressuring them to act. So of course they're going to transition to water, and they're going to have to go hard because he had a massive, ridiculous navy. Once he was sure they'd taken the bait all he had to do was transition to land and build a lean, efficient sniping army. Awe-inspiring deception.
immaculate strategy
All this couldnt be achieved without an incredible eco though. So he had both the mind and the skills to make this great plan succeed
Exactly but without all that diplo skill wouldn't work
@@SIGNOR-G after wonder he has 2 vills and ~35 trade ships. Largest army 160. Just perfect
It’s like they have no choice in losing, their kings can either die. Or they can be wondered and end the game that way. I love it
This was next level, he was playing them all but somehow did it with a bit of charm. And that "execute order 66" when he turned on everyone was brilliant
Next lever*
I knew this was a strategy game, but damn! Dude is on a whole other level.
No this is a diplomacy game!
Sir Explosive Hopper is clearly better than BlueCoffee. He genuinely helps other players, speaks more convincingly, and has better military strategy. Also, don't forget that he won the exploding kings on Pilgrims game in addition to the previous "legend" video.
That was such a nice game to watch! Best one this year so far.

This was absolute GOD TIER diplomacy. Played the game and teammates to perfection!
The way he manipulates everyone is an effing work of art.
His match in Regicide Rumble is probably the most memorable performance I've ever seen in an AoE2 game. This guy takes diplo to a whole new level.
He's quickly becoming a legit star.
T90 might need some Explosive Hopper merch.
A game with Explosive Hopper, Blue Coffee, and Sally would be a hell of a diplo match.
What if explosive hopper is Bluecoffee? Maybe he changed his name because people became wary of him.
@@ayush885 I’m almost certain it is, they have the same typing style, and color of course.
@@Sam-bn5bb and I think T90 knows it.
It is possible... Blue Coffee hasn't been around in a long time as he became too notorious and everyone would gang up on him as a result.

Sir Explosive Hopper is a god of diplo. My respects to this brilliant mind.
SEH is a megamind of diplomacy. i like to see blue coffee and SEH go toe to toe with mind games
But you saw SEH and blue coffee play the same game. It was this game.
There's 0% chance SEH isn't blue coffee.
@@Th3UprightMan that s what i think too

I've recently binged Hopper videos, and I gotta say this might be his best work. Throwing them all off with the wonder and the navy, crazy stuff.
This is genuinely, honestly, my favorite game of AOE2 ever done. I have rewatched this 7 times now.
Why is no one stating the obvious, that Explosive Hopper is Blue Coffee on an alt account? Exact same play style, strategy and diplo game!
That would be wild
I agree. There's no way it's NOT the same person. It's definitely Blue Coffee, in my opinion.
Blue Coffee isn't as good at fighting and micro, and his diplo style is a bit more subtle, though clearly both are effective.
not only was his diplo superb, his skills for macro-eco to military on water to wonder to land military, with the order 66 a man with strategy, execution, but most of all humor. world class

Most fun community game I’ve seen yet and that’s saying a lot! Bravo to all involved 💜
I just wanted to say - let's keep war and declarations of war inside, and not outside games. We wish to play with bits inside a computer, not to play with human lifes. T90 you are a force of positivity, now as always.
Never have I seen such total dominance.
I think Explosive Hopper is really Blue Coffee so he could win a couple more times
4:23 You are SUCH a good person T90!!!!!
Hi t90! Thanks for the awesome content you keep putting out! Much love from Sweden 🇸🇪 ❤️
Hopper and Blue Coffee absolutely need to be in a community diplo game together. If you can mix in some players who are pretty good at diplo as well, it'd be incredibly fun to watch.
Funny that hopper won Regicide Rumble 4's first game, and StRode won the second game and here they were in the same game...
it was nice of you to upload this after RR4 for Sir Explosive Hopper's sake.
The games lately have been such high quality and so entertaining. This was a masterclass in diplo. Just so good. The bait and switch to take out kings on land towards the end was amazing
That was Talleyrand-level diplo right there, great game!
The last time I watched your videos was that Blue Coffee Video, and that was EPIC!!!
Respect to this legend. Great content T90 keep it up!
picked up the game because of you im quite bad only been playing a couple weeks but have got a decent feudal age time for 700 elo and combing that was instant pressure on the opponent(scout rush) ive picked up a few wins just from people seeing my units and resigning, started playing huns and it has improved my up time alot as something as simple as remebering to build houses all the time would always slip my mind.

YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS
So, anyone else thinks Sir Explosive Hopper is Blue Coffee?
GENIUS play. Completely without any morals, but in war...
5:21 Good Explanation 🤣🤣
Thanks for the amazing content, I'm glad this game still surprised me after all those years
Sir Explosive Hopper is insane level IQ
Hopper causes a World War and pulls a Switzerland
I just watched that last video of explosive hopper yesterday I'm glad there's another video of them.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't T90 done the fortified towers rating thing before in the past before DE came out 11.
When you watch a video 6 months after it happens, get through it all and then see a chat message from yourself and realize you watched it live. 🤣🤣
this was crazy!!! how they can get away with stuff like that!!! Explosive Hopper is a legend!!
Player: I have a wood problem.
T90: Yeah, there's a pill for that. Don't need to bring that conversation into Age of Empires. We're a wholesome community. HAHAHA
It would be awesome to see a community game with blue coffee and explosive hopper. Preferably a map with lots of water because they both seem to love navy
Who else imagines they would play like explosive hopper but secretly knows they would play like t90?
They really need a reconnecting system in that game, but I think it's like asking for the Da Vinci code.

- strategically takes out problem players with good micro and canon galleons
- builds wonder to win game
He planned it all from the start
This man is Micah Bell tier of being a snake. What a Legend xD
Excited to watch! Helps me fall asleep
All I can say is Sir Hopper's market game is OP
Explosive Hopper is Blue Coffee
Hopper could solve all geopolitical problems within minutes with that diplo game!
execute order 66. My dude.
I feel the same way after watching this that I felt after watching Boston Rob win Survivor season 22. I've seen a perfect game. No one will play it better.

Brilliant deception and then the bait and switch with the wonder to snipe thr kings.
holy shit that guy asking for ally based on him being colorblind is fucking gold lmao
This was amazing! Ggwp to all players
49:02 There is a Cannon Galley moonwalking
You know what would be awesome? A top 10 community games kind of like how ESPN did a top 10. I know it would be a ton of work but just a thought. Happy to help if I can.
Blue played them all out like a true politician 11
This man is the Tom Brady of community games.
Best game I ever seen, hands down.
Hey T90, looked it up and Teezily (France) and Moteefe (England) are Teespring competitors in Europe. Hope these help you with the international shipping issue for your European fans.
what a fantastic game!!! loved it. well played blue well played
40:00 absolutely best moment
I wanna see a game where every player behaves like Explosive Hopper. Would they even trust each other? They might have a "only chat all" rule but then they'd all break it and be trying to play each other 😂😂
Viking tower is a solid 2/17 because of how tudor the viking tower is.
I love these types of games
Holy sht that was sick. Yeah a big mistake was letting a spanish player mass balistic cannon galleys. Awesome game!
A part of me isn't convinced that he isn't blue coffee. Blue coffee has very good reason to create a new account and new name.
Everyone else played the game.
Sir Explosive Hopper played the people.
Oh my god, what a fantastic game
Need to get Blue Coffee and Explosive Hopper in the same game.
SirExplosiveHopper is a MASTER manipulator! Great game!
I'd love it if you had rated the Viking one a 7/10. Just for the memes, you know
He can't keep getting away with it
AoE 2 is a feast on my eyes, still as pretty as i remember.
What a freaking chad man
We are living in the golden age of AOE2
this guy is a silver tongue
Putin is watching Sr Explosive Hopper and taking notes.
Love the map!
INSANE GAME!
4:20 lmao I am red-green colorblind and also can't see the orange dots on minimap
Rather, the dots are almost indistinguishable without trying really hard to find them
1:54 someone never saw EL DORADO
DAMN bro talk about a master manipulator, i love him
T90 look up the "Queen's Wharf Tower" in Newcastle, Australia, you'd love it!!!!
is he posting regicide rumble 4 on youtube?
+1
11
I love community battles.
real rts game right here !
When Switzerland pulls out their nukes, Spartans and hover tanks mid WW2 and conquers the war-torn world.
I didn't even know there was T90 merch, please feel free to mention more! We definitely don't mind or think you're too self promotional!
That guy is Tokugawa himself
I want to see a regicide game with explosive hopper and blue coffee
Is Explosive hopper actually blue coffee renamed?
Blue is the tinder swindler confirmed.
Lolol
