"You always have to be nice and say GG to the AI cuz you never know when the computers are going to rise up. And you want to be one of the good ones in their books that were always polite and maybe they'll spare you in the new world." ROFLMAO Awesome.
It's like that AI that was programmed to play Tetris. When it became impossible to clear any more lines, it paused the game forever. Valid move in its' eyes (diodes?) since it isn't technically losing.
SPIRIT OF THE LAW, Now that Zero Empires has stepped down from posting AoE2 content, this officially makes you the new official guide for the game since you have the second largest subscriber fanbase. Expect alot of flocking subscribers and live up to the game! Love your channel! Good Luck!
Same, I am a newbie on AoE 2 started playing just now and he is better at explaining things xD, I used to play nothing but RTS games like RA2 until I got introduced to FPS and MoBA genre.
i wish more youtubers were like you, you dont carpet bomb us with stupid jokes and you keep a soothing tone that makes easier to stay until the end of the video. Thanks again!!
I played my first AI-Match yesterday since a long time (and AoE at all aswell).. took britons against vikings at mediocre level.. the ai was faster getting into every new timeline, for like 5-12minutes each.. but I got him so quickly, after I grew my military in castle/imperial age, that I gonna try it on hard now.. wish me luck!
Now a days youtubers playing fifa screaming like someone gave them a shock while opening fifa packs get's soo much subscribers and here a guy playing such a mind teasing aka far more difficult than fifa can not even get 1M subscribers for it. sprit of the law i am very big fan you and hope people appreciate your hardwork and subscribe to your channel and you may pass 1M subscribers very soon
People rush eachother all the time in competitive games lol I rush to practice timing my rushes. Locking down wood lines, etc etc. It helped a lot actually.
+Omar Saad from my understanding it means that Bran can influence the past through his visions. I believe when what's-her-face was yelling 'warg into Hodor' Bran attempted to do it in the vision causing past Hodor to have a fit and become how he is. That way Bran can write the future or possibly rewrite it by warging into his visions. I could be wrong though...
Damn, you jinxed 11:20. If you look carefully you can see two scouts coming to attack. If you'd waited a few more seconds then they'd have gotten through that wall.
With sheep being trained to do such a complicated task as scouting the surrounding area for their humans autonomously. I feel like the next logical step in AOE2 is a War Sheep unique unit for a future civ.
LeXxleloxx I used to be like you. I’m by no means a pro, but I can beat the AI on hardest difficulty. The key is to practice. I probably lost 25-30 matches in a row against the AI, but every match I improved. Some hints. Scout! Knowing where your resources are as well as collecting sheep is very helpful. Every minute you spend looking for a boar or your berries is a minute the AI is building strength. You need to know what the terrain looks like so you can plan your defenses around it. Also, don’t be afraid to wall yourself in like Spirit did. Even if you are merely setting up houses for the AI to destroy, it is better than losing villagers. It’s also a good early warning system, so you can make counter units or get your troops there to defend. Practice streamlining villager production. The game should be called Age of Resources. The healthier your economy is, the better army you can field. Learning how to keep constant villager production is very useful. I still start games with the sole purpose of practicing the start of the game, and play until I hit feudal. Keep at it! You’ll be surprised how good you get.
Spirit of the Law: "I feel like if the AI was actually programmed to use sheep like this, like the AI could be incredible at scouting." Definitive Eddition three years later: "Hold my beer"
Spirit my man I think you have the greatest viewers on all of TH-cam. No hate or trolling on any of your videos. All support and happy subscribers Well done sir
(nvm its been solved apparently by Google's AI) It does not only have to be "better" than any human; "A solved game is a game whose outcome (win, lose, or draw) can be correctly predicted from any position, assuming that both players play perfectly." :P
If AoE was "solved" by an AI, it could calculate which civ would always beat another civ if both played perfectly. However, the map is a variable and thus no civ has a 100% guarantee of beating one other civ. So an AI would only be able to predict a win or lose if it knows the exact layout of the map and civilizations facing each other. Probably a gazillion times more possible moves on AoE than on Go or Chess and thus a lot more complicated to solve. Definitely possible in the future tho.
Your commentary mimics the way I speak to myself when going through all of these crazy small processes. Subscribed and turned notifications on high. This makes me smarter!
I've done it vs hardest, and I'm only about 1600 on steam... Unlike online play, it's really all about defending, and getting the relics. (Unless you're Portugese.... They're just broken...)
The fact that you had a bad start with the vil dying to a boar and some enemy units managed to trespass your defenses for a while just tells that you make it look so easy. One archer gets into my base and I instantly get in panic and forget about doing everything else.
you literaly make some of the most entertaining gaming videos I've seen in the recent years. really nice, every time I watch you I wanna play age of empires again. keep up the videos :)
I just got back into this game again, though I wasn't great at it before, and watching your videos has definitely inspired me try to get to your level of play. I really respect what you do man, your videos are a ton of fun to watch and pretty much always informative! Keep up the great work!
I don't know why I get so entertained when I watch your videos, even though I haven't played AOE in like 4 years and I don't remember how to even move the troops...😂
i was playing with my noob friends last time and he was like : farms are useless then im like , but you need them or else you will run out of food then we start talking about others things and i have to go so i say something like : get your whole army here and well do a big fight after kicking his ass i see that he walled himself into a tiny space , had to kill every animals on the map for food and he didnt even had any vilagers left . I Sent him to your channel xd
"that´s nice and in range of me" -Spirit of the law 2016 could work as a great inspirational senior quote "University? That´s nice and in range of me." (sorry i should be studying)
One of my fondest AI-abusing moments was Incas (me) vs Huns. I'd built a wall with Castles + Mangonels + Scorps behind it. My other frontier was extremely weak with only Palisade Walls and no defenses at all. Delete one square of wall and the AI tried to get my castle - which didn't work well for them at all.
I can't get holding down shift to work. I mean I can create a set of objectives for a unit to travel to but they will only go to the first one and then stop and ignore the rest. How do I fix it?
Learned a lot. I enjoy the aesthetics so much that I don't place buildings just randomly. And that's how I doom every single time. After watching your video now I'm able to win Hard with AI. Thank you very much.
I remember when I was little I ADORED animals in this game. I noticed that AI kills sheep so I collected all of them to make sure they were safe in my little exibit I made for them. Same with elephants - I loved having whole herds of them just to look how they flap their ears. Anyway, great gameplay. I know I am late but it brings so many memories I had to write this comment
always remember to protect your walls & buildings also with guard towers early in the game too. great video Spirit. would have been cool to get a few Samurai troops too.
The AI is certainly better than with the original game; I do enjoy the battle. The AI adapts quickly, counters the type of troops you are using, and always sends troops to counter your attack, which you can use against it with distracting attacks. Still, you did great; I often spend 90 minutes or even 2 hours on hardest, probably because I use the gold dependent Mongols and have no trade. Nice video, Spirit.
Sometimes I have them take from the sheep in that situation, but then when they finish it they tend to go kill another sheep or stand around until I notice them. If I'm playing with 100% focus I try to take from the sheep and finish it off, but if I think I'm going to be distracted I just leave it.
This was really entertaining! You know< I would love to see a replay of a couple of your own ladder matches on Steam. Especially if you continued to commentate and explain the why's and how's of what your are doing (as you did in this video). Good stuff.
Wow you're really good. I would've crumbled after that second attack, but the fact you can micromanage so well and come ontop after being on the back foot? damn.
In generell your macro is really good. I wonder what league you would play in Starcraft 2... I think somewhere between Diamond and Master. Here are some things I realized on your gameplay, that you could improve on (imo) 1. You did stack a lot of unit production. It takes ressouces away that you could use somewhere else for example on more production buildings. Therefore you could build your Army faster/better. I suggest never more then 2 Units for each building. 2. You wanted to kill that scout with a worker, yet i think the information he gets nor the ressouces that the scout costs would justify to missed working time. I would suggest to stop to try this, because I think the chances are kinda low vs good players. 3.: You walled in with your late Production builds and *wasted* space and ressources with build houses randomly. Why dont you wall in with your very first houses? PS: Also for real games, maybe go for some proxy houses for scouting reasons (so you see when you can harass your opponent) (NA/EU Master in Starcraft 2 :))
Walling is NEVER about stopping your enemy. Its about having an advantage. (his meele cant hit your range units) and giving yourself time to react when he wants to harss your eco.
StarCraft and AOE are both RTS, but they have many differences, mistakes that you are talking about are huge in SC, but here, you don't really think about that. And I tell you what, only a really small fraction of people would want to perfect their AOE2 skill. And these tips are specifically designed to do that. What I'm saying is AOE is nowhere near as competitive as SC, so people don't really care)
You know that Spirit is canadian when he is polite enough to let the AI boom.
"It's okay if you're a little slower than the others, really! I wanted to play a slow game for once anyway."
And telling the AI "gg" at the end ^^
I thought everyone GGs the AI at the end lol!
good guy spirit of the law
yikes man
Like, you seriously are like the Bob Ross of AoE.
this comment should be on top
vurbelinekazmayi i agree
We're just going to chop down this happy little tree...
That's the most accurate thing I read, I think ever
Lets beat up the ol' AI again, this is the fun part!
"You always have to be nice and say GG to the AI cuz you never know when the computers are going to rise up. And you want to be one of the good ones in their books that were always polite and maybe they'll spare you in the new world." ROFLMAO
Awesome.
Indeed!!
That's not how AI works. And they won't spare you for any sort of emotional gesture.
Praneeth worth a try
@@KaNofbeans pretty sure praneeth is an AI
The AI once asked me for a tribute to join it's team in a 3 player match. The 3rd player was already eliminated.
You could have achieved world peace!
They'll do it in 1v1s on occasion too. AIs are weirdos.
It recognized its losing position against you and attempted to get you into a draw, which is better than a loss.
It's like that AI that was programmed to play Tetris. When it became impossible to clear any more lines, it paused the game forever. Valid move in its' eyes (diodes?) since it isn't technically losing.
ally with him then build bombard towers in his base and change to enemy and win!
From now on I'll always say gg to the AI
5:20 dat moonwalking scout though
MJ's spirit lives on in the digital world of AoE2 :D
I scrolled to the comments the second I saw that. xD
Haha me too. That was amazing
in a nomad game, a villager of mine walked like 10 tiles with moonwalk, and when i went to the record, he was walking normally O.O 11.
Dude where are you from? Hungaria? Just because your username's and channels' you subsriced to letter look strange :D

I always prefered Spirit of the Laws vids, much better anmd more in depth explanations.. Also, chinese civ vid pls :3
Same, I am a newbie on AoE 2 started playing just now and he is better at explaining things xD, I used to play nothing but RTS games like RA2 until I got introduced to FPS and MoBA genre.
please we need to know in 2020
Your voice is so soothing. You're like the Bob Ross of AoE playthroughs.
Has someone ever told you you are insane? That level of dedication to analyze a single game and all its mechanics...
I LOVE IT. MOAR
Good LORDS when I see you just creating farms randomly it HURTS me in the OCD.
"Be kind to the AI that they will maybe spare you in the other world" dude, you're so right...
Roko's basilisk.
@-.- Cat I guess I'm never gonna be a threat then
i wish more youtubers were like you, you dont carpet bomb us with stupid jokes and you keep a soothing tone that makes easier to stay until the end of the video. Thanks again!!
I played my first AI-Match yesterday since a long time (and AoE at all aswell).. took britons against vikings at mediocre level..
the ai was faster getting into every new timeline, for like 5-12minutes each.. but I got him so quickly, after I grew my military in castle/imperial age, that I gonna try it on hard now.. wish me luck!
I know this comment is 2 years old but How it went?
never heard from him again.
one can only asume he didn‘t gg the ai and got on it‘s bad side...
Now a days youtubers playing fifa screaming like someone gave them a shock while opening fifa packs get's soo much subscribers and here a guy playing such a mind teasing aka far more difficult than fifa can not even get 1M subscribers for it.
sprit of the law i am very big fan you and hope people appreciate your hardwork and subscribe to your channel and you may pass 1M subscribers very soon
What is this fifa you speak of? IMO don't bother paying attention to what is "popular". The crowd is stupid, and therefore not worth joining.
mathig nihilcek cringe
Redmond Kerr pretty much
now strip fifa
@Damsen Apex was released polished at least.
Yes! That's the way to play against the AI, rushing them is quite unfair in my opinion
People rush eachother all the time in competitive games lol I rush to practice timing my rushes. Locking down wood lines, etc etc. It helped a lot actually.
Mekova The AI is literally not programmed to deal with rushes, unlike humans in online competitive games
burt591 I was fair abd let it boom. In teturn, the AI rushed me.
just palisade AI town center = game over
@@xxlCortez it only rushes when it has more points than you.
Honestly, i barely watch what's going on. I just like these long videos in the background on my hench 12 hour night shifts.
It's kinda soothing.
*Spoiler* Hold the door.
i krai evertim
what a horrible scene that was
i don't get it...why was the past connected to the future in the first place??
+Omar Saad from my understanding it means that Bran can influence the past through his visions. I believe when what's-her-face was yelling 'warg into Hodor' Bran attempted to do it in the vision causing past Hodor to have a fit and become how he is. That way Bran can write the future or possibly rewrite it by warging into his visions.
I could be wrong though...
that creates a paradox
such wow xD
Damn, you jinxed 11:20. If you look carefully you can see two scouts coming to attack. If you'd waited a few more seconds then they'd have gotten through that wall.
21:00 this is why you always put your units on defensive stand
always
aaaalways
except when you are invading
Hold the door! Hold the door! Hodor ! Your videos are always entertaining and fun to watch ! Small things making me laugh randomly ....
With sheep being trained to do such a complicated task as scouting the surrounding area for their humans autonomously. I feel like the next logical step in AOE2 is a War Sheep unique unit for a future civ.
Alec Werthingtons legend :p
I think what we need is the shepherd hero unit that trained them to do so.
How bout sheep tossing trebuchets? (Would be a fast way of getting em back to your town center atleast)
You mean Welsh shieldmaidens?
wtf I cant even beat normal dificulty, i'm too bad at this game
ikr
Same here

Keep at it! You’ll be surprised how good you get.
@@TheSpicyLeg awesome comment btw
@@TheSpicyLeg did u play till now the same way ?
more livecasts of you playing aoe2 would be awesome
also the villager idle sound would be worse than the sound of your farms needing to be reseeded XD
I really liked that you showed the civ boni at the beginning. Good idea.
Spirit of the Law: "I feel like if the AI was actually programmed to use sheep like this, like the AI could be incredible at scouting."

Well done sir
I am a simple man, I see a spiritofthelaw video and I wet myself in excitement. Keep up the good work :p
I was curious to see what would happen if you let the AI boom. I think I learned I need to get better at hotkeys. I look forward to your videos. gg!
So we've figured out chess and "Go". AoE2 next?
Exactly
I don't think all moves in Go have been calculated as of yet?
Hugo vR Only has to be better than any human :)

And now 7vs you
its entirely reasonable on lower difficulties
against the hardest ai its gonna be tough
I've done it vs hardest, and I'm only about 1600 on steam...
Unlike online play, it's really all about defending, and getting the relics.
(Unless you're Portugese.... They're just broken...)
Luna Thats not possible. The AI is cheating his ressources at the beginning.
Not anymore. That has been changed long ago. Ai is just macroing perfectly
Martinc my friend had won such game he was maya and converted more than 200 enemy soldier
I liked the deselect and set new task for new group of remaining vils and the mill farms select mill trick. I have not played since my childhood.
"Didn't expect the AI to go through the hole in the wall" What a surprise!
After one second into that game I already knew you're at least 100 times better than me Spirit
"gg for the computer" that is a fair spirit.
20:00 now that's how you react to a rush!! I see so many people just ring the townbell and pray
"And this is the kind of thing a normal player wouldn't do . . ."
*walks like 4 onagers into cav archers and watches them die*
I learned so much just by watching you play!
i went to drink some H2O
and when i return i though i was playing and started clicking
took me 19 seconds to realise i was actually watching a video
Sometimes I start to watch the game and forget I am playing.
The fact that you had a bad start with the vil dying to a boar and some enemy units managed to trespass your defenses for a while just tells that you make it look so easy. One archer gets into my base and I instantly get in panic and forget about doing everything else.
Do you know what "battle event" means in the final graphic?
I haven't played AoE II in like years, but for some reason I love watching you play and make commentaries
So the smartest AI asked to be ally with you because that's the only sane choice. You showed them we like to be fallible and reckless.
you literaly make some of the most entertaining gaming videos I've seen in the recent years. really nice, every time I watch you I wanna play age of empires again. keep up the videos :)
Hold the Door?... Why you gonna make me cry again Spirit? :'(
What an amazing channel you've got. Great for learning the game and getting into it. Also just super entertaining! Thanks bud, appreciate you.
"16:05 the little prick's stonewalling me" - Enemy AI
Love your videos man. They help me improve so much as a new player.
Thanks for the fun times u bring and keep them coming!!
hold the door xD hahahahaha good job, you made my day
Almost made me cry again tho :')
I just got back into this game again, though I wasn't great at it before, and watching your videos has definitely inspired me try to get to your level of play. I really respect what you do man, your videos are a ton of fun to watch and pretty much always informative! Keep up the great work!
5:23 talk about the AI doing silly things :D
Your demeanor is so cool during this. i love it! so enjoyable to watch!
spirit, when are you going to show those ResonanceBots whose the true master of arabia?
I don't know why I get so entertained when I watch your videos, even though I haven't played AOE in like 4 years and I don't remember how to even move the troops...😂
5:20
Take note of the AI using dance moves as a scouting technique
What control this rider shows! Nice, smooth ride...
Nice jump!
That was a GREAT ride!
This guy would destroy me within first five minutes
how about trying to play against Aztec Bot. I find it most difficult by the sheer fact that aztec bot makes too many monks.
You can use teutons they have monk convertion resistance or i like to use incas against them
Just siege ownage them.
Or use the britons, Love the longbowmen vs the monks
you should do that AI tournament you talked about in your Q&A. That would be awesome, because your commentery is very entertaining :)
Let me tell you, playing 1 vs 1 with the hardest Resonance AI is as tense as playing with one of typical AoE players.
Bruteforce OP
so that AI is the hardest?
As far as I know, yes.
How do you get it?
Subscribe to this, you need an AoE:HD to play this one: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=473358292
I used to do this as a kid but with a team AI and I just left my town hall and resettled by my team's base.
Now, it's time to fight the hardest Resonance22 bot =)
Late to the party but great insight into your gameplay, very hands-on, making it easy to learn. Thanks for the vid!
i was playing with my noob friends last time and he was like : farms are useless
then im like , but you need them or else you will run out of food
then we start talking about others things and i have to go so i say something like : get your whole army here and well do a big fight
after kicking his ass i see that he walled himself into a tiny space , had to kill every animals on the map for food and he didnt even had any vilagers left .
I Sent him to your channel xd
Hmm I've got a friend getting into AOE2, i might try the same haha

This is exactly what I've been looking for! Vs hardest AI without feudal/castle rush. Those are all exploits in my opinion. Great video thank you!
that villager you lost ruined the game !!
Just wanted to say that your videos made my day (or week) when I had to study a lot.
You know you’re a good dude, when you don’t take the non-living computer players’ sheep. Just because you “don’t wanna play that way”. 😂😂😂
back in my day, you had to put farms down one at a time :)
how does he Switch between his townzenters ?
Pressing H
THX :D
Also, clicking the full stop/dot [.] button cycles between your idle economic units :)
Wow it was amazing had a good time watching you. Love your narration
Why did you chop the tree in front of the town hall? As soon as you cut it down, you can put a farm on it.
always remember to protect your walls & buildings also with guard towers early in the game too. great video Spirit. would have been cool to get a few Samurai troops too.
12:00 **ptsd kicks in**
The AI is certainly better than with the original game; I do enjoy the battle. The AI adapts quickly, counters the type of troops you are using, and always sends troops to counter your attack, which you can use against it with distracting attacks. Still, you did great; I often spend 90 minutes or even 2 hours on hardest, probably because I use the gold dependent Mongols and have no trade. Nice video, Spirit.
I notice you leave the sheep to rot once you have killed the boar, is this unintentional, or does it just not matter?
Sometimes I have them take from the sheep in that situation, but then when they finish it they tend to go kill another sheep or stand around until I notice them. If I'm playing with 100% focus I try to take from the sheep and finish it off, but if I think I'm going to be distracted I just leave it.
Thank you for the fast response lord spirit sir man.
I keep the sheep beinng eatn
Lord Sprit Sir Man.. Hehehe
does pay off to use buildings as a wall?
This was really entertaining! You know< I would love to see a replay of a couple of your own ladder matches on Steam. Especially if you continued to commentate and explain the why's and how's of what your are doing (as you did in this video). Good stuff.
Hey, how about you try a 1v1 vs Resonance22's Hardest Resbot AI? Now THAT is going to be a real challenge.
r
Its actually first time i see someone so good....... I need practice
I wanted to see your face for a long time. Is it your face that pops up in the first 44 seconds of this video?
Wow you're really good. I would've crumbled after that second attack, but the fact you can micromanage so well and come ontop after being on the back foot? damn.
please make a chinese civ overview
I second this.
+1MoreRep I minute this
+Ahmad Ashraf I hour this.
I day this? I think... ^^
I week-en this chain.
33:20 I like how the music matches the "tiptoe sneak" vibe of the army out of the back of the camp with the pizzicato strings!
It's programmed to make around 120 villagers so try the same thing with 200 population limit and you can't overboom it anymore.
Something tells me you would do really well in Starcraft 2 with that awareness and ability to be in many places at once.
In generell your macro is really good. I wonder what league you would play in Starcraft 2... I think somewhere between Diamond and Master. Here are some things I realized on your gameplay, that you could improve on (imo)
1. You did stack a lot of unit production. It takes ressouces away that you could use somewhere else for example on more production buildings. Therefore you could build your Army faster/better. I suggest never more then 2 Units for each building.
2. You wanted to kill that scout with a worker, yet i think the information he gets nor the ressouces that the scout costs would justify to missed working time. I would suggest to stop to try this, because I think the chances are kinda low vs good players.
3.: You walled in with your late Production builds and *wasted* space and ressources with build houses randomly. Why dont you wall in with your very first houses? PS: Also for real games, maybe go for some proxy houses for scouting reasons (so you see when you can harass your opponent)
(NA/EU Master in Starcraft 2 :))
Walling is NEVER about stopping your enemy. Its about having an advantage. (his meele cant hit your range units) and giving yourself time to react when he wants to harss your eco.
StarCraft and AOE are both RTS, but they have many differences, mistakes that you are talking about are huge in SC, but here, you don't really think about that. And I tell you what, only a really small fraction of people would want to perfect their AOE2 skill. And these tips are specifically designed to do that. What I'm saying is AOE is nowhere near as competitive as SC, so people don't really care)
Could you please make more gameplay videos like this? Online games, ect. I love your playstyle and thought process.
how did you removed POP limit?
It's not removed. Just set to 300 :)
from am expansion?
just regular HD through Steam can do it as well
hmm..hd, ty dude
you don't have hd? :D
Just watching this is making me click and type faster at work.
