I have really been enjoying these videos Hera. I think many content creators that have one main game struggle to make different types of content, but you have been doing an awesome job. From tutorial videos and meta breakdowns, to pro games, to these more relaxed and fun 1vmultiple games and the 10x resource games. The 1v3s and the off meta games resparks that excitement in watching games. The 100game showmatch last night was awesome I have to catch up on the last ones! I have also been loving the specific streaming schedules. Off-Meta Monday, Watching Wednesdays are my favorite , especially those old 2000's strats. Takes me back to those days of being 10 years old playing on a Saturday morning. I think your dedication and passion is the reason you are on a different level in the major competitions. Keep it up! Thanks for all the content and helping keep this community alive!
I love these 1vX or 2vX videos as well as the 10x shared civs bonuses. They always turn out to be such chaotic matches and seeing you play and make decisions at such a high level is really fun and informative. Keep up the great work!
Hi Hera! Just want to say these types of videos, playing against multiple opponents, have definitely been some of my favorite content basically since the first one came out. I also really enjoy the variations where you team up with another pro or a lower elo player to mix things up a bit. Always looking forward to them, so as long as you enjoy making them, I say keep them coming!
Sick video! Highland is a fun throwback map for me too. My dad and I used to play vs the AI on highland. On several of the older versions they wouldn’t make and boats so we would always wall up and defend with mass galleons. Was a fun time.
i think you have a great mix of "fun 1 v X" games and specific videos explaining civs or strats and the 1v1 pro on the gameplay channel. I am always looking most forward to the 1 v X or 2 v X games.
I stopped playing Ao2 and also watching your channel for a couple months.. but then one got recommended to me again and I was instantly back watching and playing. They are very entertaining actually, win or lose.
I love these 1vX Hera, very fun to watch. Yes you mumble a bit, i remember first videos i saw years ago i had some issues (being not native), but honestly you stop noticing after 2/3 videos
At first, it was hard for me to understand your English, but after regularly watching videos, I became used to it, and now I understand almost everything you say. Perhaps it's due to your accent, which sounds quite distinct, and you also speak super fast, at least for me. Plus, we are more used to English from the US. However, as I said, I believe it's just a matter of getting used to it. Saludos desde Buenos Aires!
Really I am more of a lurker, played semi-pro/pro in league, quit and now you sparked my interest for aoe2. I am eager to play at 2k+ Elo this year, lets see where I will be stuck longest... Also, big thanks for all the free content, you should add a paywall imo - it's worth so much, I offered league pdfs for free but never videos so it's quiet funny to see you do it the other way around. See you on-stream sometime soon I am trying to make it this week. Best Regards from Austria
these uploads are still getting my preferential clicks. :D you keep them fun. there was a time after the first ones, when a lot of the teams started to trick you with new accounts, etc, tryharding, most games seemed impossible to win for you. but now it's well balanced, i think. And about your English, i think it's more an issue on their side. you speak perfectly fine, just faster at times.
I am not a native english speaker and I understand you fine. Sometimes you swallow a couple words for me but you are actually a gifted speaker. Not everyone can play at a top level AND talk to their chat while playing.
He won one with 200% handicap on or maybe it was less, but maybe 120 or 130% handicap plus extra pop would be more interesting, 200% was a boring stomp.
When you see a Dutch name or word with the letter combination "i" & "j", you pronounce them as a single sound. The closest pronunciation I can think of is the "i" in the word "bike", or possibly the "ie" sound in the word "lie".

Here is a cool idea to try,, 1v1 against a +1600elo player but u have a nomad start and ur opponent has arena start No lame, no dark age rush and 5min treaty length .
not sure what those commenters were talking about when they said they couldn't understand you. the audio was kinda sketchy for the first 5-10 seconds of this vid but generally the mic is great these days imo. better enunciation than most people i talk to
as a clarifying question: would you say that in mid-to-late game, placing town centers is better for resource collection than the specific buildings for each resource? i saw you placing TCs next to a gold reserve
konniks hit similar as paladins against buildings, stirrups makes them attack faster but their base attack speed is of 2.4 instead of 1.9, however, the dismounted version has +4 against buildings (+6 with arson), so they do melt buildings
Only very recently started watching your channel. Been playing this game since 1999, but far from this level of course 😅 You don’t mumble too much! Don’t listen to the haters! It was great watching you win one of these! I must have clicked the wrong ones in the past, but I usually saw you lose haha. Also for saying the Bulgarians are the worst civ in the game, you made them look awfully good! Like I wanna play them now! And I have a really hard time wanting to play anyone other than Romans hah!
I'm not a natieve speaker and i'm not fluent in english, but i don't remember a moment when i couldn't understand you. Your way of speaking is definetely harder to understand than T90's, for example, or Viper's, but it's fine
My top of English speakers from AoE pro scene (from best to worst): 1. T90 2. Viper 3. Hera 4. Jordan or Liereyy 5. Tatoh 6. Daut (I don’t understand what he’s saying at all)
why did it say full random for the one guy and random for everyone else in the lobby? played for 2 weeks only never saw the full random civ in any lobby thx
i think that if you dont have extra pop you should have handicap, maybe like 10% per extra player? so 120% in a 1v3, would be a nice way to even things out. maybe extra 5% even with extra pop, considering its still way too hard.
Hey Hera thanks for these 1 v x games. They save my day a lot of the time. And I always want you to win them for some reason. But please please I hope you make a few or a lot of videos with you and T90 against 4-5 players! The entire series with you and T90 would be a banger, I somehow feel!
I don’t like T90 personally, wouldn’t watch those. I like all the pro players and sotl though. T90 comes across arrogant and has a nasty sense of humor, I like Hera’s videos because he’s humble and respectful
@@personalbranddata 100% agree. But just a thought because he did games with Daut, Viper etc. So thought t90 maybe a good addition to the club. But yeah t90's gotta get off his high horse to do that probably.
At times you are talking quite fast, but more often then not there is a lot going on, so you have to talk faster. Might be something to look into for non-live commentary though
We're not getting sick of the 1v3s 1v4s 2v5 2v6.. It's all awesome
Keep up the 1 Vs X videos. Love your content. Always a nice surprise to see your videos in my feed.
There is a point in your gameplay where I go from "with practice I could play like that some day" to "nope, I won't"

Out of these types of videos, I think the best ones are the team games, where you're doing a 2vX with a pro, or babysitting lower elo players.
Watching him playing versus three and multitasking so good, is like listening to Beethoven. Perfection.
if they're beginners...i dont wanna know what i am LOL
LOW ELO LEGEND 😎
You speak fast, but it is perfectly understandable. 😊
I can always understand Hera.... But then again I'm also a fast speaker and I used to mumble a lot lol
well not perfectly at all xd. He munbles a bit and sometimes is hard for me to understand. Not like sentences but some words here and there
@DarthPepis I understand perfectly, although it does bug me when he pronounces melee as mealy! 😁
I love these 1vX or 2vX videos as well as the 10x shared civs bonuses. They always turn out to be such chaotic matches and seeing you play and make decisions at such a high level is really fun and informative.
Keep up the great work!

Awesome to see the way you hold back armies while booming. Love the content and this was a great watch - cheers!

I am always looking most forward to the 1 v X or 2 v X games.
been loving this series right from the onset...hope you go on and on with more challenges
I stopped playing Ao2 and also watching your channel for a couple months.. but then one got recommended to me again and I was instantly back watching and playing. They are very entertaining actually, win or lose.
I love these 1vX Hera, very fun to watch. Yes you mumble a bit, i remember first videos i saw years ago i had some issues (being not native), but honestly you stop noticing after 2/3 videos
yea man ur 1vx players is just fun to watch and nowhere else to see keep these coming they're the besttt !!
I love it when you actually place farms efficiently
I watch the 1v3 type games like as soon as I am available lol. Love these. Thanks!
Definitely, I look forward to this type of content. Love it!
13:54 is when Hera finally WAKES UP HELLO?
I liked the transition from oh no Bulgarians to hyping up konniks 😂 ggwp

I liked story time at the beginning. Feel free to do more of that!
Hera, I literally love your videos so much ahahah. Makes my day.
Really I am more of a lurker, played semi-pro/pro in league, quit and now you sparked my interest for aoe2.
I am eager to play at 2k+ Elo this year, lets see where I will be stuck longest...

Yes ofc I look foward to these, I always have popcorn when watching
these uploads are still getting my preferential clicks. :D you keep them fun. there was a time after the first ones, when a lot of the teams started to trick you with new accounts, etc, tryharding, most games seemed impossible to win for you. but now it's well balanced, i think.

Still loving your videos Hera. Keep playin and we'll keep watching. Big respect.
The 1v3s brought me back into the fold! Very fun, despite mostly playing AoE4
I like how those scouts just saw the first wall and gave up even tho you were very open lol
the boat micro at 12:46 was nuts haha
Proof Hera underated Bulgarians in his civ tier list 😉
I happen to be a native Dutchie as well lol. Don't matter how you talk, I always understand 100% of what you're saying!
I am not a native english speaker and I understand you fine. Sometimes you swallow a couple words for me but you are actually a gifted speaker. Not everyone can play at a top level AND talk to their chat while playing.
still love those with the mix of maps, strats, challenges =) keep them going!
yeah I'm loving the 1v-multiple vids, my humble hope is you win a 1v7 one day
He won one with 200% handicap on or maybe it was less, but maybe 120 or 130% handicap plus extra pop would be more interesting, 200% was a boring stomp.
Love these videos, always fun to watch.
Excellent content Hera, thanks to your videos I can now defeat the Hard ai. Gonna keep practicing!
Love these!! Most entertaining AOE series.. It's right up there with T90 low elo legends! 👍👍
I love these 1v3
They're my favorite videos on this channel
I have been following you since the past 4 years, and I never had any problems understanding you
When you see a Dutch name or word with the letter combination "i" & "j", you pronounce them as a single sound. The closest pronunciation I can think of is the "i" in the word "bike", or possibly the "ie" sound in the word "lie".
Hera: "i might have to scout this time"
5:15 I don't scout too for the same reason
Man really just referenced Crawmerax the Invincible 😂

I love 1v3, I love the x10. Keep em coming.
Its always nice to see Bulgarians cause back when I was playing they were my favorite
I LOOK FORWARD TO THESE.
as a clarifying question: would you say that in mid-to-late game, placing town centers is better for resource collection than the specific buildings for each resource? i saw you placing TCs next to a gold reserve
Hera with his love, the bulgarians😂
My favorite part is what Hera does at 7:07
konniks hit similar as paladins against buildings, stirrups makes them attack faster but their base attack speed is of 2.4 instead of 1.9, however, the dismounted version has +4 against buildings (+6 with arson), so they do melt buildings
Love these 1 van 3s !
Very entertaining to watch!!
Why does he put an asterisk in the chat before typing?
Excellent use of fire galley's 0 percent accuracy by blocking with a fishing ship, because the flame projectiles damage whatever they hit first
What headset are you using Hera?
9:11 Your English is fine ma dude. I understand you no problem 👍✌️
Only very recently started watching your channel. Been playing this game since 1999, but far from this level of course 😅

Love these videos Hera!
what mouse u using bro? thanks for respo
I look forward to these as long as there's no extra pop crap or 256x bonus
Hera is playing less opponents. They .must be watching how previous players beat him
soon hera vs 2 mid elo players
Unexpected borderlands reference 😂
I'm not a natieve speaker and i'm not fluent in english, but i don't remember a moment when i couldn't understand you. Your way of speaking is definetely harder to understand than T90's, for example, or Viper's, but it's fine
My top of English speakers from AoE pro scene (from best to worst):
1. T90
2. Viper
3. Hera
4. Jordan or Liereyy
5. Tatoh
6. Daut (I don’t understand what he’s saying at all)
@@firstsh 999. Memb (jk!)
@@jonathanbauman2236 I think he’s fine. Certainly more understandable than Daut in my opinion
1vX/2vX games are an instant click for me, every time
This is insane level play, how many hours have you clocked in the game? I still can't beat extreme AI XD
9:20 I think the commenters caught a troll bug haha
I'm not a native english speaker and I understand you perfectly :D
Man tell me what the Bulgarian meme is, I can't sleep !
yes we do love those games and want more :D
Yes 1v3 continue. I always watch
Honestly Hera I still love these 1v? But the 10x shared civ is now fav for me ❤😊
why did it say full random for the one guy and random for everyone else in the lobby?
played for 2 weeks only never saw the full random civ in any lobby
thx
really wish highlands was more common in the rotation.
I understand you fine even at high speeds.
enjoying 1v3s and 10x civ bonuses lol
Totally crazy they didnt stone wall the crap out of those crossings. that might have turned the game
What is so special about 'deep sea fish'? They give more food?
I am not a nativ english speaker. (From Germany) And i can still understand you without problems. cant be that bad then
you just talk pretty fast, prolly more words per minute than my apm in AoE 2
i think that if you dont have extra pop you should have handicap, maybe like 10% per extra player? so 120% in a 1v3, would be a nice way to even things out. maybe extra 5% even with extra pop, considering its still way too hard.

Konnik is lel kryptonite
Very very fun
11 bruh, your english is good and intelligible
You should do 1v7 with low elo players :D
GG
also, ive never once had an issue understanding you lol
please try one v three with no economy upgrades apart from horse collar and heavy plow xD LoL
You should play with an Xbox controller. See how that goes.
These guys were tired of pay to win games, so they tried pay to lose
At times you are talking quite fast, but more often then not there is a lot going on, so you have to talk faster. Might be something to look into for non-live commentary though
wow gg
very like the formate
being playing this game for over 30 years and still be considered as a beginner =(.
Me with my hand over my face watching hera vids and not playing aoe2. 3 games away from low Elo rank for life🎉😂
