I think the biggest threat of an ridiculously long game is if the following chain of events happens. • The map 🗺 is Islands 🏝 • The Bengalis is picked by 1 player • The Bengalis player is behind on the water, but has most or an even-ish split of relics, and enough ships to snip Elite Cannon Galleons (especially if the opponent makes too few) • The Bengali player does the correct play of turtling up to avoid losing resources to Lanchester's laws, using castles, and has a good enough defensive map • The Bengali player very, very slowly wins the game with monk micro converting enemy ships and units to defend from landings and have a win condition, using the infinite supply of gold That game could last hours due to the very slow trickle of gold and sheer number of conversions needed.
That won't last as long, because the Feitorias are a much faster win condition than relics. The landings to decide the game would happen quicker. @ardeori212
That would not last as long, because Feitorias into Monks is a faster win condition than Relics into Monks. It would be better for the late game, but it would take less time to actually win. @ardeori212
The second game was so frustrating to watch. After the first Condo raid, Žižka should have walled his base immediately, preventing any further raids. The raids have cost him the game...
Spoilers for the first game: God damn it... Ive never ever seen portuguese win anything ever in AOE in tournaments. I got hopeful for a second and got my hopes crushes again.
@@paulcauchon9515 My guess is Khosrau is actually Sebastian. There were a few macro slipups to his gameplay like keeping auto-reseed active on Islands that I wouldn't expect from Viper, and I think Jan was higher level than Khosrau in general. Probably unpopular opinion, but I think Khosrau would need to step it up a fair bit to beat Stephen next round.
@@paulcauchon9515Khosrau had Viper tendencies but not quite on the elite level as Zizka. Zizka is definitely Viper, I thought Khosrau was Heartt at first but I changed my mind after the last series. Khosrau could be Liereyy or Sebastian.
How tf do I play AOE online. I'm making all sorts of Xbox & Microsoft accounts clicking 100 things giving my credit card. WHERE. IS. THE. PLAY BUTTON???????
There are three versions of AoE2 now, and only one of them is good for playing online. 1. Disk version (the original) I haven't used since 2002, definitely no official Microsoft servers 2. AoE2 HD (2013) is now out of support, and missing some key features and updates 3. AoE2 Definitive Edition is the newest and best, and the easiest to play online - you simply click the multiplayer button from the home screen
Spoiler block. Enjoy✌🏻
One has his head taped up, and one is an alpacca 🤣
I love all the guest co-casters, but Margougou and Slam should have consistent co-casting privileges. :)
Love hidden cup. Sheesh.

Portugese mirror match with both making feitorias ? Much longer game possible

@ardeori212
That would take less time as the win condition is faster.@@dipankardeori212
This was Harry vs Larry.
what happens if a transport with a relic in it is sunk? Does it just gone for good?

What game is this
Age of empires 2 defenitive edition
You can build on the shallows correct? Why not house wall the water so the demos have to hit buildings till the pop and like walls towers?
It's a bit inconsistent. I think there are different kinds of shallows.
Great commentary. Thanks guys!
That is it. Alpaca is TheViper.
Hera v Lierry, or Lierry v. Vinchester

Chat at like 2:02:00 welp win rate going up… uh they lose and win at the same time this match does nothing for the civs win rate!
It does, it the civ is 1W-2L they have a 33% winrate, after a mirror matchup they are 2W-3L which is a 40% winrate.
More like Orjan Zizka, amirite?
I definitely think Koshrau is Vipa, but I might be wrong.

@@teddyhaines6613Maybe but I would find wierd that he banned Cross, is one of his favorite maps
@@gerbassman You do have to ban three maps, so maybe he just didn't have a strong preference for what to leave out.

Ornlu, play "Naomi Laugh - Seinfeld"
Forgive the vulgarity, but when T90 says Gold income, it just sounds so.... not that
I'm not a fan of watching Arabia...
T90 hide the chat in the stand alone uploads, it contains spoilers from others games that have been played prior
watch them in order like normal people maybe?
I always imagined Ornlu smells his own farts
Interesting games!
But that co-caster is a bit dorky.

I wil help you no matter how much time it takes. Did you buy it on steam?
You have to sign in with a Microsoft account and then reconnect somewhere in the top if I’m correct
For Ranked games you also need to do a benchmark test in the settings.
