- In this video you'll see two high level players face off on Nomad! ACCM (Bulgarians) has to weather the early storm from BadBoy (Lithuanians) in order to have a chance in this aggressive game. Lithuanians gain such a strong early lead whereas Bulgarians end up getting stronger in the Castle Age! Fun and unique game, I hope you guys enjoy.

![Beginners guide to countering every Unique Unit [AoE2]](/img/n.gif)
When I saw the Bulgarians being added to AoE 2 De I instantly bought the game.
Same here. I was so happy! ^.^
"As an American I had a tough time playing against Vietnamese"
History repeats itself
*It aint me intensifies*
* fortunate son starts playing *
Same goes for Chinese. And Mongols. Know that I think of it, Vietnamese should get a huge defensive bonus. Maybe all units should get an attack or armour bonus when within a certain distance of a TC or something. :D
@@f.c.laukhard3623 well Rattan Archers are like Vietcong, also Imperial Skirmishers
F.C. Laukhard I’ve been asking the same buff for them for a long time but for both TC and Castle
Nicely timed upload for the day of the Bulgarian Army and valiancy!
Честит Гергьовден, да сте живи и здрави!
26:25 ram literally pushes deer
poke
New Powerstrat fast castle into Ram push deer
Good catch!
laughed
ofc daut likes Bulgarians, he can put down Kreposts like daut castle and put an actual castle somewhere else without getting it stopped at 99 percent
Is that picture of a Eldar Farseer?
Bulgarians are one of my favorite civs. Happy to see them shine!
Im bulgarians and I really like their design
Same. I love their infantry rush potential.
They don't even get light cav!!!
They get stirups though, which increases attack speed and thereby dps by 33%
I really dig the Bulgarians. Their unique unit is arguably THE most unique unit in the game, with the biggest rival imo probably being the Malay's Karambit, and one of the few civs to get a unique building. I wish more civs got unique buildings. Not necessarily ALL of them, but it'd be cool. Like maybe have one of the catholic civs able to make a cathedral and its like a super monastery that does...something (increased faith regen for monks?). I dunno. But yeah, Bulgarians are cool even if they aren't the best.
Yeah you could get a cathedral that increases the monk options but at the cost of disabling all university techs.
@@Mastakillah69late reply I know, but that would be a weird tech for a catholic civ, considering the modern university system was pioneered by catholics 🤔
The Kronik attack slower than the knight, btw. So the +2 attack actually give essentially the same damage output
Until stirrups kicks in
@@gabrielmelnik6796 stirrups now benefits knights too
when a knight dies, he dies. When a konik dies, you get another konik. That's a lot of koniks
...and then comes the Stirrups technology, where things really start to looking frightening.
Is stirrups cage or imp technology?
As a Bulgarian I see "The Power of Bulgarians!" I click :D
@Harald Harald bruh Dracula is from romania, y'all are mistaking us with them lmao
@Harald Harald yeah you can smell it all the way to Romania
@@thedoomaster14 We have a fair share of vampires too. Vampire graves to be exact. Garlic is mandatory equipment.
The real real power of Bulgarians for normal person is legend underrated BERBATOV
@@thedoomaster14 nah...vampires are from Slavic and Balkans, not only Romania (Dracula is just a novel). The bodies in ancient graves in Bulgaria were found with the head off and stick in the heart. So @Harald Harald is right.
that Krepost forward is the decisive act. Good thing it worked out and let ACCM take control
just a little info to bring up, konniks do have higher attack than a knight, but their attack speed is low (2.4 for konnik, 1.8 for knight) so in practice their dps is the same. Once they get stirrups, the konniks have the same attack speed, but higher attack, but you generally dont see that in castle age as it requires a castle and 600 res
I'm a big fan of the Bulgarians, Kreposts give them a wonderful tool for both offense and defense. They can save your butt or help clench out a win, often times both! Konniks are super fun too, a very useful alternative to the Knight with some fun perks and it makes the Kreposts even more useful.
Hey T90! Gonna start with a fun fact : "Konnik" translates literally as "Horseman" from Bulgarian. I think they are an overall good civilization that doesn't get enough recognition. I like picking them when I see my opponets going for Goths, cause I can then create some cav to do some raiding while the buld of my army is ifantry with a ton of melee armor. It works miracles, but of course mainly in 1v1. The kreposts are also quite nice for getting "cheat" and "early" map control.
Another fun fact. Krepost means fortress.
ill gladly confirm that bulgarians are amazing at lower elo. it's my favorite civ! low/mid elo struggle big time with dealing with aggressive strategies. And Bulgarians are the aggressive strategy king! you can all in man-at-arms kill opponents in feudal with the free upgrade bonus. this bonus also means that a normal man-at-arms rush is one of the best in the game because it hits earlier and costs the same as a drush (they also have a faster blacksmith). konniks and kreposts in castle is obviously strong. any kind of early infantry upgrades translate over to better konniks in castle because of the dismount bonus. if you can keep your opponent out of imperial, you can win any matchup with bulgarians. some civs are effective against some Bulgarian strats (feudal rushing Khmer will never work), but you always have other possibilities.
every strategy they excel at involves early aggression, which low elo CANNOT deal with, and mid elo struggles with. I was a 1400 elo voobly goth player turned bulgarian top 500 DE player. I hate long booming games, and Bulgarians was my favorite addition to DE by far!
I've been playing casually for years and never realized until you mentioned it on your stream yesterday about docking right away! I docked right away in a game yesterday and that basically won me the game lol. Thanks for the tip!
just dont do it as huns
@@Halvtooth omg true. 100 less wood right?
@@lambchopsmtl yup if you do dock before tc, you can't afford the tc :)
@@Halvtooth thanks for the tip bro. Definitely won't make that mistake lol!
How could you not comment the fire in the middle of nowhere at 25:11?! That was the highlight of the whole game!
My favourite civ is bulgarians, since I started to play the game no more than 2 months ago I'm exited to watch this video
As a bulgarian, I approve this message.
Awesome game I have been waiting for a game like with the bulgarians.
that was a fun watch, several swings, great demonstration of the Bulgarians in action - good cast
T90 upload Dave's big brain Teuton scouts game
Would the Leitis have helped BadBoy here? Especially when he had two castles? They might have taken out the konniks out faster, and are slightly cheaper than knights to produce to
I think not much, due to not being able to produce as quickly. Biggest struggle for BadBoy was simply his eco getting hit by Kreposts!
Of course, it doesn't have to be an either/or dilemma, at least in Castle Age wherein one doesn't have to decide between Elite Konnik or cavalier upgrade; the two units also benefit from the same upgrades, so not a huge need to tech switch. Cut knight production in half and replace with leitis production. Still get full production not hindered by the castle vs stable bottleneck, and the leitis is objectively more cost effective and tactically effective.
With the last maj, yes, they would have helped a lot. Would it be enough? I doubt it. He wouldn't have the time to produce enough Leitis with a single castle. If he had placed his second castle in a safer place, it would have been really different.
I guess he could also have gone to the Imperial age a lot sooner with pikes to cover it (he didn't invest a lot into the research for cav anyway). Trebs would have destroyed a lot of Krepost. It's a huge risk (because Konniks are also decent against pikes with their infantry form, and he could build a critical mass before you destroy a single Krepost ), but if you let a Bulgarian keep a lot of Krepost it's like letting a Mongol or Chinese having a lot of castles, you will lose in the long run anyway (Konniks are really cost-effective, and shine the most in the early castle age or the late imperial age, when you have the techs for cav AND inf.)
The individual leitis would have definitely be better than the individual knight, especially with their new cost reduction and faster creation speed (they cost 70 food 50 gold and train in 20 seconds) but yes the problem is castles.
22:48 Krepping in further, ha.
Lol the Krepost foces you to attack or die:) ANd we all heard about the bonus of the defender.
Great video! This has me excited to try Bulgarians on Nomad
I main Bulgarians even though I’m not very good. 😂 just love the Konnik’s so much. And I like weird niche civs. I think if they had a slight eco buff somewhere or had some other buff to help it get over the line it could be pushed higher tier. Just usually get out Eco’ed, especially as a newer player to the ranked play.
Deer was kept alive and trusted the humans so much that he visited their town center. Wrong place, wrong time. 18:55 RIP
I'm a 1200 player and I love Bulgarians because I do a yolo feudal men at arms rush to keep players in feudal long enough for me to get stone for castle age then dropping a krepost on them.
I love the Bulgarians, i just hover around 800 elo and have a blast with them. Mainly play quick play. But i like to think the Konnik is the only double pop unit. So if you flood with 20+ its devastating
Konnik is one of the best unique units, but the leitis since it got buffed is also one of the best. Bad boy made a huge mistake, doubling down into knights and not creating much more leitis
I love the Bulgarians. You can send 4/5 militia while going feudal and have those man at arm's while players tend to be sitting there booming. Ive hade games where I've mopped up 8/9 vils. It's all about being faster, so probably wouldn't work against high level players but in casual games. They wreck
There are two things a player cares about. #1 his Army, #2 his Farmy 11:57 WOW OKAY
I was waiting for this!
So i know they said they won't add more civs, but I had fun thinking this one out (and yes, i know vlachs are supposed to be merged into slavs/bulgarians/magyars and maybe cumans, but one can hope :P)
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vlachs (eastern european architecture set)
Defensive civilisation
- Gain +100/200/300 wood upon advancing through ages, but start with -50 stone

- Can research fortified palisade in castle age
- Monks gain +1 range per age (starting in castle age)
Unique unit:
- Haiduc (ranged, fragile fast moving infantry that throws javelins. pierce damage, bonus vs cavalry. Affected only by armor blacksmith techs)
- affected by ballistics and chemistry (only way to increase damage by 1 outside of elite upgrade)
(all those stats are ballpark)
stats: 40/50 hp, 8/11 attack, 4/5 range, 6/10 bonus vs cavalry, 8/5 frame delay (normal/elite)

Town center, market and resource buildings:
- full except two-man Saw
I want to see Vlachs in the game too...Then i can proclaim myself Emperor of Vlachs and Bulgarians, i will defeat the Turks and with this my wet dream will be complete... xD
Archer unique unit with a hardcore monk against all siege, seems a bit op.
@@amouthfullofsack5822 you are right, it might be OP. I even consider removing siege engineers because i think their siege (esp trash rams) is a bit too strong for a defensive civ. possibly reduce range on the spear thrower unique unit, maybe its better? honestly the unique unit is giving me the most trouble and im most unsure of, maybe it should be a fast melee unit instead of ranged. And also i thought about vills dropping off food on houses instead of the wood bonus on aging up 11. that would mean they would almost always be able to get deer at a reduced wood cost, and more efficient farming in general i guess without building extra mills.
Meh, rather see the Poles or maybe the Khazars. Don't really see Vlachs being a Cav archer civ either.
almost all civs in the game have heavy cavalry archers. that doesnt mean they were in real life. And vlachs actually used cavalry archers in history, even if not much. the principality of moldavia incorporated them. remember moldavia was right near the eurasian steppe, (cumans used to live also where moldavia was later). Just because they have that option doesn't mean thats their main focus, i would say they focus on being a defensive civ, the way i designed them
Anyone else want a TeutonTuesday?
Quality of your vids has gotten way better
Krepost rush, the Krush!!!
Going Imp didn't cost him. It was the massive vill lead before that due to the raids + krepost pressure. It was a last ditch attempt to get trebs to relieve the krepost pressure.
Trebs would have been great, but clicking Imp basically means sacrificing twelve knights. That and placing the second castle in a valley were the killing blows.
This video was very educational. I'm 2100 rating on teamgames but didn't know how to play nomad. No wonder I haven't won a single nomad game yet. I never even made it to imp. Fast dock+quick TC drop on wood. Why didn't I think of that?
With Stirrups researched (increases the attack speed of the Scout Cavalry line, Knight line [added in latest patch], and Konniks by 33%) the Bulgarian Cavalier has the highest DPS among Cavalry units (excluding Elephants), beating even fully upgraded Lithuanian Paladins with 4 Relics collected in terms of pure DPS.
They lose 1v1 to those paladins though because of higher hp and armor
Hey t90 how about a monthly round table discussion with some (2-3?) pros about the new update and how do they think it will effect the game? Like a 10-20 minutes video
Only problem is: pros are making videos sharing their own thoughts (i.e. commenting on new patches is a popular content idea). If T90 invites them to his show, they won't be able to make their exclusive videos which is presumably bad for pros and their own channels.
@@yuechengli7328 could be made after the pros release their own videos. the round table is more to hear the pros bounce ideas off each other, which they can't do when speaking alone in their own channels
It’s a nice idea, but unlikely it’d be something we could keep up. Especially when updates don’t come at consistent times and can often times surprise the community, it’d be tough to plan!
Also I personally don’t enjoy just sitting and talking about patches. I know it’s content people might enjoy, but I prefer to engage in discussion while showing the games playing out (as you see here and in the Teutons vid for example)
@@T90Official One can only imagine bringing Daut and mbl to the table and the lord be like "vaat ze fak" and the lamer be like "TEEEE NEINTEEE!!!!"
uh we already have SOTL!!!!
Konniks (pronounced kohn-neeks, although everyone seems to get it wrong) are one of the coolest units.
I always thought that Konniks were a really powerful unique unit since they stick around longer by coming back as infantry making them tricky to deal with if you don't have a mixed composition; plus, they cost 5 gold less than knights, and Kreposts being the cheaper "castles" let's Bulgarians increase their production more quickly when they get the time and economy to be able to set this all up! :o
both civs are interesting for nomad, and are both good. Bulgarians even have a counter unit for spears when konniks die, as they dismount and are "champions" so as viper says, it has Potential
You make Konnik sound totally OP when you only look at the raw stats but it really needs the attack speed upgrade from Castle to actually deal similar DPS to a Knight. It has a lot slower attack than Knights before that.
Konnik: *finally dies*
Enemy: Phew, that guy is tough
Konnik: *gets up* sike bitch you thought
T90Doink great match
Crazy how they both found the best places on the map to dock so quickly
Does anyone else hear fish n chips whenever T90 says fishing ships?
It is actually surprisingly non-obvious how to best use that extra 150 food starting bonus for Lithuanians.
I am here to watch Bulgaarians :)
One thing you missed with the konnik is that until you research stirrups it has a slower attack speed than a knight.
I would love to see Britons vs. Vikings, Vikings vs. Japanese, Britons vs. Japanese mainly because those civilizations have some of my favorite elite fighters. I've seen the British Longbows against several civilizations, but never against Japanese Samurai or Berserkers.
T90 should watch more SOTL videos. Konnik attack rate is slower than knight without the stirrups tech at the castle.
Good video!
Anyway, I might be late, but I hope Viper will uploads videos again because he was hacked.
The only thing the Konniks do not have on knights is attack rate. Maybe also being made from castles, but kreposts mitigate that weakness and are pretty awesome.
But then they get stirrups for attack rate. but base yes.
@@mastodonstrengthandperform6346 it pretty much makes them the same?
I have to double check but yeah I think theirnrayes end up being the same as knights roughly. But Bulgarian Cavaliers now r r super fast attack rate
@@mastodonstrengthandperform6346 are Konniks still better to go for since they are 5 gold less and have two lives?
Not for raiding, sure, but for general fighting?
@@eliteteutonicknight1 I think they are stronger overall but more difficult to mass. But not 100% sure
If they wanted to buff Bulgarians, they’d get to remount a new horse when they’re healed by a monk or a castle.
Knights have less attack than Konniks but Konniks attack a lot slower, knights actually end up doing more DPS... I think. At base level no upgrades at least... I guess the more armour you have the more beneficial the slower high damage attacks are. Also the bulgs have the unique tech to increase attack speed which makes them pretty even I think.
Have you guys considered removing building armor while a building is under construction?
This could solve the issue's with tower rushes and tc douching.
Then people can just do what makes sense to them and have it work.
I think once people know that the Bulgarians can build these things they will have wall up and keep something in reserve.
I can't help but hear fish 'n' chips
Lists are the new meta
Man Blugarians look OP in this game... is it nomad?
Small correction, the konniks have less armour than the knights
Game time! Take a shot Everytime he says KREPOST
just thinking about relix only :D would be a bit broken i guess :D
Would definitely like to see more top 50 players that don't get a lot of spotlight
Wow wat a game!!!!
The Konnik is great unit! Its a agile unit and you can easly place it in top 5 mele units. The civ however is underwhelming to play with... Atleast for low elo noobs... like me...
Before the nerf it was actually THE best melee unit imo. Now, top 5 sounds good
29:32 That stable is haunted by the ghost of a Konnik.
The power of ACCM
villager dropping food off at docks!? heresy!
Should have restarted this recording again after that Ikonnik joke! Someone's been casting with Nili too much.
Could badboy have countered with pikes or would they be cleaned up by the unmounted units after the horse fell?
The hard patch that peak unique cavalries units into OP cheat units
He could have trained some OP letis to fight the konik tho
Don't be sorry T90. That game really was iKonnik.
I'd like to see a no hotkey rule game sometime.
Who want to see another series between mr yo and viper?? maybe mixing normal games with the new one that starts in feudal ... thumb up guys
I think that leitis would have dealt with koniks expecialy with +2 atk and beeing cheaper
Halberdier: I just kill a cav unit.
Konnik: You fool. That's not even my final form yet.
List for best t90 farm bonus. We all know number one
Amusingly, when playing ai on nomad, the easiest win is just to hunt down the ai vils and kill them while they try to make town center.

T90 can you please do a video on the literal fastest time a feitoria can be made? I found it takes about 6 minutes for it to repay the gold, and 14 minutes to repay the stone, meaning the most important time to build a feitoria is ASAP.
E: Furthermore, should a 3-5+ feitoria build be played like guerilla warfare, essentially to extend a game so that the feitorias have time to pay themselves off and more?
I think, based off of this and other games I have seen, Bulgarians are built off of their uniqueness as they aren't really special anywhere else (konniks, kreposts, free 2hsm upgrade, etc)
Gooooooood.
Without stirrups (unique tech) konniks have lower DPS than a knight because of slower attack rate
They're a sick civ though, super hard to counter if you can afford all ups
How long until this Bulgarian Power Force is used against Dave!?
FOR BULGARIANSSSSSSSS
I would like to know which software does he use to analyze the matches, can someone tell me, please? Thanks
YOU CAN DROP OFF FOOD AT DOCKS NOW?
DAMN BOI.
Only fish tho. But if a vil has deer food(or any other food) in his hands you can klick a shore fish and then drop it at the dock
What the hell happened to TheViper channel?
He got hacked
his account got somewhat hacked, he is trying to retrieve it atm, hopefully shouldn't take too long
@@twohandedswordsman852 thats why there havent been any uploads for while?

i blocked him, so it not showing up on youtube
I dont understand how game change to other hand.. I think real mistake was losing water control for Badboy.. Fishing is saving BUlgarians..
Bulgarians are ikonik 11
Konniks attack slower, and need the Stirrups to attack roughly the same speed as a Knight.
Konniks are not as good as Knights because their attack speed is slower. They're better only because they spawn a new unit after dying.
