TH-cam algorithm brought me here. I don't play AoE4 but can still appreciate the entertaining cast + the beautiful defensive layers of walls at choke points. This shit fulfills my LOTR Helms Deep scene. I was rooting for the blue guy even though I don't know any of them.
Hahaha same
@Yeast Yeast Bruh, what?
@Yeast Yeast Hey brother, I'm sure there's someone out there who can love you. Stay strong.
If you want to play it it's on game pass.
did you know there was a LOTR RTS? you can actually recreate the seige, Saruman's mines are even in the game
now THIS game is what I imagine when I think "Age of Empires". this has been the greatest game to watch so far, very exciting!
Ya, lazy of them. VERY lazy. It should have been scaled. Like 2k of each resource for 1v1 player; 6k for 2v2; 12k for 3v3. Or something like that. It's like 1/3rd of the victory conditions doesn't exist.
No way, this game is boring compared to other games out there...
@@wademichalski768
I really enjoyed this as opposed to seeing someone dropping really weird walls everywhere on weird angles, generally on the way to some cheesy strat.
@@samblack5313 I like the creative strats more!
@@wademichalski768
Sometimes they are fun, for sure. This was a good ole fashioned brawl.
Kaup was absolutely masterful. When you were saying that Kaup's roaming back and forth along the back lines was a wasted effort, I was looking at how Viper was looking behind him, instead of forward at Kaup. Outstanding return on investment, 4 knights and a scout buying invaluable time to build up defenses and infrastructure.
think they were horsemen not knights. but besides the point. beautiful play
Not just that, he kept pulling villagers off resources, giving him a slight edge in econ
@@Colphin It was an all-around great play. Distraction, forcing Viper to spread out his units to pin them down, pulling villagers away from their jobs, and generally just creating confusion and screwing with decision-making for Viper. I think Aussie was just so focused on the Abbey that he assumed Kaup wouldn't be using disposable units anymore.
I think it beautifully depicted the film of Fury where 1 American tank with just 4 crew managed to hold off the entire SS German Batallion from attacking the supply route.
Those scout and horseman may died but their efforts bring enough time for Kaup to prepare.😂❤
YAY! Finally a late-game cast where the English can't possibly lose!
the English was lost ... to another English
@@EdocsilM More like English was guaranteed to win :P
@@EdocsilM i used the english to destroy the english
English was guaranteed to lose

i dig that enthusiasm of yours, really can see the difference, when you are excited about a match and when not so much.
Excited Drongo vs Rus Boulder Bay Drongo
36:30 Shout out to that mad lad villager who starts an enclosure/farm next to a destroyed landmark and the front lines.
Narration. Game. Players. Trebuchets. Tactics. Choke points. Tension. This has it all. Finally a worthy AoE game again.
The strategy was to bleed out viper's units & resources at an impenetrable chokepoint. Viper was also unlucky to have his trade route crossing the battlefield. Great game!!
Viper could've "shifted" his traders here by making a wall/palisade to redirect them to the back edge of the map. Not as efficient, but would've been safer
after seeing enclosures preform that well, he probably could have bought more seige instead of traders at all!
Yeah he never really needed those traders anyways, always had close to 5K gold mid-late game. Could have had more pop go into an army. Def had a spawn advantage considering the starting point gave him 60% of the map.
Greedy!
Could've put the market in the South corner; would've been much safer!
Not gonna lie, that was a SICK game. Great job Kaup.
Those walls from Kaup and the small harassing raids from Kaup from the beginning were key to his Victory.. very cool tactics both thematically and strategically.. a hard fought battle from both sides.. A job well done too from the commentary as well.
I never knew I needed this in my life, but I love it!!! I'm trash at AOE, have been ever since 2001, but damn I love watching people that know what they are doing
Watching someone actually beat Viper is incredibly satisfying.
Maybe in AOE2 where he is a master. He isn't that great in AOE4. AOE2 is much more techinal as well.
@@drakZes Its also much more refined. Give AOE4 some time and it ll get more technical etc too.
@Francois Smit "isn't that great" by what metric?
@@drakZes excuses.
@@Tracker947 I think he just compare "He" in AOE2 and "He" in AOE4. no metric here (Im not sure which one Francois talking about. someone or viper)
Recently got the RTS fever again and this is by far the most enjoyable cast I've found so far. That's an easy sub for me.
Thank you for releasing this Drongo, hope you have a blast in Berlin !
Absolute beast of a game to watch. Probably one of my favourite AOE4 games to date.
This is why I've always loved AE4, always an ebb and flow to the match, back and forth win -loss-win-loss moving the line forward and back, RTS's like starcraft seem to always end in a surrender after a battle with no chance to come back, just a big clash and that's that.
can we get a casted game with sfx turned off and he is doing all the sfx himself? it would be BEAUTIFUL XD
that would actually be hilarious. just a bunch of stupid noises replacing the fx
One of the funner games I've seen. Excellent commentary as well, per usual.
I'd love to see unique upgrades for abbey of kings and / or maybe makes any future monastery to have the abbey of kings passive. Would be interesting to have forward monasteries to do some skirmishes, have low HP units retreat, or do a full retreat to a more fortified position, heal up all units without needed a monk
Damn this game was fun to watch no matter which age fan you are. At one point in the game I was like, now this is what Age of Empires is all about!!
The landmark effect could either apply to keeps, or to network of castles. It’s not very versatile as is, made worse because it’s the first landmark you drop so you can’t really set up for a forward drop where it could be useful.
if it was out of combat and applied to network of castles i would main english
@@HIIIBEAR
Possibly it could be an upgrade option on outposts so it’s not so freely available, and standard on keeps, as they’re a larger investment.
Might make the English tower rush even more oppressive haha. Same with just making it out of combat, honestly. Iono. I feel like increase the range and maybe reduce the out of combat timer from a full 15 seconds, and that might be fine.
@@Cyrribrae
It’s still way back away from anywhere it would be useful. England are one of the less mobile civs as well. Like I said, make it an upgrade on the tower so it’s not useable in a rush, could even make it an age 3 upgrade on towers and make the tower unable to fire or garrison units.. or, if that truly won’t work, make it available on keeps.
This is one of the best English mirror matches I've ever seen. Great casting too, keep it up.
This was the type of game I've always wanted to watch! Ty for this one😍
Watched this game and wanted to play exactly like that. The other day I had a boom game with 200 vills/traders and 0 military and 200 military when attacking :) Such a nice map to learn late game and use every unit available in the game
you do a great job talking the game through. Keep up the solid work!
What an action packed non-stop game
Congrats on your first video with 1M views!
Saw this live 2 years ago but it still holds up as one of the best AOE4 games ever played!
This was legit exciting lmao. great commentary!
In Armies of Exigo, there is Temple building (Empire faction).
Temple heals all nearby non mechanical units. Players usually were building a wall using various buildings, and the Temple was placed in the pass in the wall to heal units defending the pass.
It’s what i love in âge of empire, building à City with a strong défense. We see that too rarely…
I know it is not stronghold but i really like défense
Tbh I think this game displays one of the key issues this game has. You destroy a big defensive landmark and your opponent just rebuilds it instantly, and you just end up in a stalemate game where you keep destroying the same building over and over again
Ive watched a few of your videos since AOE4 launchesdbut your commentary here made me sub! :D The trebuchet sounds effects killed me.
I would like double or triple the radius, remove the out of combat modifier, but also reduce the heal rate a bit. So it doesn't massively impacts a battle, but overall it will help to keep villagers alive between raids.
That was brilliant, and brilliantly casted too.
GG on both sides! Great commentary. Thank you for the content! Really enjoying it.
I rarely leave comments but dude you are incredibly entertaining to watch. Good commentary w/ a mix of gameplay/strat analysis and casual talk. I don't even like AoE IV but watched this whole thing. Keep it up man!
English trebs are one the strongest super late game units in choke point games.
Reason: They out range everything, shatter projectiles make their AoE actually "okay," and network of castles dramatically increases their attack speed. Of course they need ranged/melee support. In the multiple max resource 4v4 games I've played, I found that opponents just can't deal with mass treb + castles (even chinese bombard/nest-of-bees death army gets completely destroyed by it). The downside is that it is just an insanely slow push and requires a massive amount of resources+wood. (Also villagers adding castles//towers)
Wish this happened more in all RTS games. People playing, with a commentator over the top. Makes it all so much easier to follow and enjoy
Great commentary my dude! Felt like i was watching a football game lol. Great enthusiasm!
here is a tip for that trade situation: wall the market in with a long line, forcing the traders to walk in from the far safe side. little longer route, but defo safe.
Gotta go with the flow. This was incedible. You did a great job sir!
If you look at Vipers main TC, to the right of the monument there's a cart with OPEN sacks around it. The other TC has closed sacks. But if you look at Kaup's TC's they both have closed sacks, but his second TC has a smaller cart along the left wall. So there are other, probably randomized, differences.
Thumbnail: "He made only bombards!'
Beastyqt: Makes springalds, mangonels, trebuchets and bombards
I just came across your channel and I love your videos
Keep up the good work
Fantastic commentary. Great match!
amazing, was so fun watching, thanks for sharing
In AOE2 we also have also a tech that defeated Viper; we called it 'Fatslob'
the total war series allows you to follow ranged shots with the camera too!
Such a crazy and intense battle. Insane !
can we get a recording date placed at the start of the video or on the screen somewhere?
Just read video info?
@@samblack5313 Doesnt say
That's the sound of the army of the dead
Living on the mountains , send a knight and they'll fight for you
Having those landmarks early to hold the pass was really good. Viper couldn't bring his own closer to the pass anymore
Great commentary and game play!! Been a long time fan of Age of Empires collections :)
Love a good mountain pass meat grinder. English and HRE have a lot of potential after the 1 hour mark to keep the steamroller going.
well I'll be damned i though i never gonna see a treb def/ siege combo tho the keep and the walls played huge roles in the defense too . GG to both players !
This was chaos! Brilliant.
You can follow the Projectiles in like every Total War Game. At least from Rome II. Greetings
Dude that was one of the best casting of an aoe game ever. Putting others to shame here. Big sub!
Sounds effects is dope! New lvl of commenting 😄 Love it!
I feel like building the berkshire around the corner of that mountain pass would protect it from the Trebs? I wonder if the Trebs can fire over the mountain? If they can't Id build a double wall or a V at the mountain pass and build the berkshire and castles on either sides of the V to lower the effectiveness of the Trebs and force them to move into the choke a bit more and away from their defensive structures to fling their projectiles ... Kaup already committed to his straight defense path when he built his walls so he wouldn't have been able to do the same
Ohh, nice. If you mean a inward V this could work. I would have springalds on either sides with a gate to slide them in and out to snipe the trebs while berkshire and keep gets any troops trying to close the gap.
If you play against a good opponent he will switch to mass bombards and tear down everything at second try so I would just wait until he gets there, once he starts attacking I would rush him with mass cavalry. He will need min 60pop dedicated to siege that you will have in offense. Depending how late game this is I would commit and kill some villagers too.
Ill def try this tonight when I get home
Edit: lmao I just read this and this sounds so toxic ^^
@@bullseye2468 How is it toxic?
@@ArawnOfAnnwn Because of how frustrating this would be to play against ^^ I say this in good spirit, I love me some cheese!
I always wonder why the attacking armies can see the defending ones inside a wall. They've break down the wall before just directly shooting arrows at the armies inside.
Man I love your commentary!
Loving this.. if I didn't end up watching more adverts than gameplay. TH-cam doing a number on me. Keep up the good content.
holy shit feels like im watching a bloody movie mate
All Total War games have a projectile tracking function. I think you press "insert" to activate it.
Kaup Fatslobing it up as we say in AoE2.
25:50 i know its really hard when you're in the moment, and the commentating was amazing. The likelihood this ever happens again is slim, but quicker than "A chokepoint of death" is "a fatal funnel" the term we use for door frames and whatnot, but same concept. Just food for thought; great work regardless.
I was just having a conversation with a group about Abby of Kings and seeing it actually played really makes me want to run it more.
Why? It was worthless.
I don't think it healed a single unit that game lol
Abbey of kings should apply to network of castles (with an upgrade)
The Treb meta is welcome imo they have their own war with the other trebs and buildings while the main armies can clash free of being one shot by the dreaded mango
The only game where I'd rather watch than play. Bravo, great voice, great commentary. 👏
I am so happy you treat this like watching a sports game :P
watching games with kaup is just something else for me
Back in the day, I remember my team mates lost their battles and I ended up against 4 people and held my defences strong and they couldn’t penetrate it! It was a hell of a defence! This game was a master piece and can still be relevant in recent times..❤❤❤
wow I dont even play this game but the commentator and gameplay was amazing and very interesting to watch!
Bombards seem incredibly balans. They can demolish walls with a few salvos, walk into range of trebuchets and castles and then walk right out with barely 20% health lost while being focus fired upon. Ezy.
I always love trebuchet when I play AOE 2 doing a massive vandalism
I'm just imagining both of these players smashing their keyboard nonstop for 20 minutes. lmfao
You are a potent refree, loved that ❤️
29:28 Generals: Command and Conquer has a feature that can follow nukes in the air its so cool
I think for Viper, Positioning few mangonels behind Berkshire palace would have done considerable damage to the frontline units. Anyway this was a fun battle to watch.
Probably the best mirror match i've seen!
viper crushed aoe4 and now hes back to the real game
Excellent game!
Excellent commentary!
I remember the 'following projectiles' from total war series
In Reign of Kings you could watch the missle flying
for a moment i thought i was at the races watching the horses run, cool AOE video !
damn that was a great match viper couldn't get pass the mountain pass blockade shows how good a defender corp was
Great game. Those six trebs were delivering insane amount of dps non-stop which Viper clearly realized but not sure why he didn't counter with Springalds
When you push a good player in late game, never start with bombard only. Make sure either Mango/ Brits Treb being enough. Supply them with armored units.
Enjoyed that mate
Wow! Just.... WOW!
This left me speechless!
First place I ever saw a follow projectile command was in Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon
I didnt play a game like this since Empire Earth but i still watched this complete video^^
Was very interesting, i think i should get into this again
Just downloaded and started playing empire earth again. Such a good old game
Think on this: Abbey of Kings healing power also applies to town centers and/or castles.
If they make that change to abbey of the kings, you'd see moa rushes with aggressively placed abbeys
I was thinking about Abby of Kings with van guard men at arms on hybrid maps. Might be able to kill opponents dock.
Stopping at 4 mins to comment this: here's the reason that I go wheelbarrow first (improved wheelbarrow as mongols) faster movement=faster resource gain, extra carry weight= faster resource gain, you take a slight hit in the short term but long term those bonuses snowball with each villager carrying and getting resources faster
than you you're amazing sound effects
Aren't additional town centers locked until you reach castle age? How did Viper build a second town center in the feudal age?
