Great fun to watch, glad this made it to the channel! Sorry to be exhausting. For the record I'm only a part-time clown, I learnt a couple of arena build orders after losing consistently to Turks fast imp which gets played a lot around this elo. But I'm far from executing the follow-up well or backing it up with good eco. I made a tonne of mistakes on this one but it was fun to play. In case it makes my opponent feel better, I don't think would have ever worked if their gold hadn't been forward. It was a continuous shock that he kept donating more units to the cause. Personal highlight was converting vills while they're attacking rams, which then repaired the rams they'd just been attacking. The MAA play was a complete surprise - we'd never played before. And you're right how mind-numbing this was - all of the usual planning and good gameplay out the window. Great cast, amazing to be featured, I'm a huge fan of the channel, will submit some more soon.
a small tip - when you are going for all-in plays with heavy micro, sometimes it helps to shift-queue lots of vills in your tc so it will keep producing, even if you are too busy to focus on home. even if you are just sending those new vills straight to gold, it can be a huge help for keeping the push sustained (this is less relevant advice at the start of your push, where you had very few on food, but once you start floating a few hundred food this can help a lot)
@@weston6860 Take this entirely and yes, something to work on in future. On re-watching though, I think my biggest flaw was forgetting in the moment that redemption monks can convert buildings - that would have been his siege workshop and a few houses gone and me producing from within his base.
Yep, put farming eco in the back, mass up some light cav and skirms, then dive and reclaim his gold. But hindsight is 20/20. Red put up a good fight. That was stressful.
Just to say I love the sped-up early ages - I basically only watch videos if they're ~30 mins or shorter, so the more you can do to get them into that range the better. Big thumbs up.
Love the mid elo content! Keep it coming! This is where I learn the most. Pros are great, but it's easier to get tips while watching those 1000-1300 games.
Props to blue. Agressiveness, even mindless, is often rewarded at this elo. And he did push at the perfect place, if red castle would have been in the corner to protect his gold, this game would never happen
I love some relatable content! I mean, I love my LEL and pro games, but falling somewhere in between I rarely see games that include the type of weaknesses I have.
It’s always the unknown right cause if he knew he had twice the villager population he could have literally vil rushed those trebs at the time he resigned if he used all his vils plus 6 scouts or so he could have wiped all the trebs pikes and monks. Even if you lose 15 vils in the end your still ahead
Coming back to Age2 after20 years, Can you please create a video explaining from where I can purchase the game, which aditional softwares I should purchase (for example, small tree mod). What is twitch, etc.
I mean I play at roughly same time every time but at my 1276 elo it don't matter it's never consistent they probably just watched a video and we stumble over each other lolol
Has anybody had luck playing this on an Xbox s? I don’t want to dump the money into a new computer because I don’t need it for more than a little office work here and there, but I want to play it again so I had a Microsoft gift card I got from work taking a 100 bucks off the series s that I would use solely for AOE2, using a mouse and keyboard of course. Plays smoothly enough for campaign and 1v1s?
The problem for red I think was the fact he needed to mass some more army, if he had about 10 light cav to rush the monks that would have been a different game.

Your conversions-into-castle shenanigans were hilarious, GG! Nice to see one of the veterans from T90's chat out there crushing it 👍

Loving the civ bonuses on screen as they’re being introduced. Really helpful for new players and good reminders even for experienced folks
Forgot vill production during a push? ❌️
Convert enemy vills instead? ✅️
Nice to see mid elo. Im also 1050/1100 elo... I believe that the problem for red was only the lack of military, specially light cav
Was about to say the same
If he was pumping out light cav it would have ended sooner
Still great gane

He also lost a lot of mangonnels unecessarily. I think his biggest mistake was not respecting monks.
the problem is aztec monks are to powerful. Microsoft needs to fix this with a nerf/balance patch
@@osimosnope
20:20 Now that he's in imp he could just check the cost of Spies, you can always know this way.

Gotta say, I miss these kind of regular 1vs1 casts. It feels like the past few months were just non stop tournaments and it's a bit much
Then you wait a whole day and he leaves us with a short 😭Great content overall though, by far my favourite caster.
Can't make everyone happy; I'm just happy T90 posts!
Love the mid elo content! Keep it coming! This is where I learn the most. Pros are great, but it's easier to get tips while watching those 1000-1300 games.
Note to self;
when i reach 900elo start learning how to deal with aggro monks 😂
Props to blue. Agressiveness, even mindless, is often rewarded at this elo. And he did push at the perfect place, if red castle would have been in the corner to protect his gold, this game would never happen
Been finding myself enjoying these videos again
On the format: loved it!
If the enemy castle, built by my own treacherous villagers, goes up in my own friggin' base, yeah that's gonna be an instant resign 11
GG WP
Like and comment supporting more low AND mid elo games
Love the mid elo content.
Helps me think through how to improve.
I love some relatable content! I mean, I love my LEL and pro games, but falling somewhere in between I rarely see games that include the type of weaknesses I have.
I absolutely loved watching this one.
This vid was peak MEM!!
@T90Official Love the mid ELO content. Keep it coming plz

great when u even have plan when casting NAC. Great respect
They should make a button that summons Hera to play for you when you’re playing against a clown
Red needs one training session.
Always support mid elo cast, even 1300-1500
How to convert monastery techs?
every time I play aztecs at mid elo they go eagles siege tower, I think that explains man at arms. Just weird he didn't chose knights or light cav
How has this guy gotten to 1000 elo without creating military?
what a strategy hahah😂
As an 1100, yes more 1100 content :D
All Your Villagers Are Belong To Us!
dam thought I was about to get a car or a gift voucher there at the end but instead I got advice that requires me to use apm that I dont have

score lead + eco lead into GG?
I mean I play at roughly same time every time but at my 1276 elo it don't matter it's never consistent they probably just watched a video and we stumble over each other lolol
I am 1100 elo, but this was quite something lol.
I'll play water maps before I play arena I always get paired with a fast imp turk rush
Mid elo maniacs
im 1900 and even i rarely ever play the same people
why did blue never attack the monks with the castle?
More mid elo!
More mid elo pls
really funny game xD
More mid-elo content
Monks op.
I Got tired just watching that shi😵💫
Beautiful🎉
I have to come on your channel and leave hate comments because of your elo. gooday mate

A midnight upload, T90? 😷😷
Nice
The whole conversion thing spoils aoe2 imo.
For me, it's the thing which keeps civs with impenetrable but slow melee from being overpowered
@ Fair point. If they could only convert siege like they can rams, from close up, I wouldn’t mind them. Converting ships is nonsense🤦🏻
Oophf
The problem for red I think was the fact he needed to mass some more army, if he had about 10 light cav to rush the monks that would have been a different game.
Yeah, thought the same, he had over 30 on food. More than enough to start masing. XD
unfair and gamebraking. Not blue, the civ. Aztec monks need to be nerfed, period.
don't bring periods into this...
